I'll toss my $.02 in.

The future, really is dependent on Microsoft amusingly enough. IF Windows 8, catches on in PC space and IF it seamlessly integrates phones into it and IF it does not suck, I see Android in a whole new place.

I'll explain. Take the TYPICAL user (of whom, none of us here are) and see how well they fare merging their cell phone into their PC. Get a photo from their phone onto their desktop, sure, we'd find it easy, but the 'typical' user, it looking for a button that does it, even plugging your phone into your PC requires at a minimum a rudimentary understanding of a file system to move things around. Compare this to IOS and you understand why the sheeple stay there, it's simply easier to do things.

Now along comes Windows 8 with a new Win8 phone app, and most importantly Windows for ARM. Windows is going to press from the top down (being PC>Laptop>Netbook>tablet>phone) where Android is trying to move upwards. IF Microsoft can bring IOS type connectivity to a phone and PC Android has suddenly got real serious competition.

Where would I like to see android? Honestly, on my PC and in my phone and tablet, all connected together, sharing data as one happy ecosystem.

Anyways, my drivel for the day.

In terms of desktop integration id say ubuntu will play a large role as they already have some ideas presented on their site. Or it could be that ubuntu seeks the mobile market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
definitely agree with the ubuntu idea, the stuff they've done so far (same kernel powering 2 OS) is only the first step.. but i can also see microsoft "copying" that idea to integrate windows phone with pc windows.

Google has something up it's sleeve. With acquisition of mike and maaike, Motorola mobility, cyanogen getting serious with rom compiling with acquisition of new servers and them spitting out a compile in 9 minutes a pop, not to mention their image change and somewhat low profile lately, I think Google is fixing to surprise us in the next year or so.

I'm new and I don't know what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxBrun0xx:
Honestly, I think google is gunning for the big boy OS's (see: Windows). I'm getting an asus transformer tonight and between that and my gnex, I don't know how often I'm going to be turning my desktop on (and no, it's not some old piece of junk, it's a brand new custom built gaming rig). It's not that I don't like having a big screen, full keyboard, or proper mouse, but it's just I can do everything on android that I can do on a full PC aside from managing my music collection. I really think it'll be interesting to see how Windows 8 will shake things up, considering it's goal is really to make tablets capable of being productivity machines, something no one has been able to do so far.

Will my phone get service if I manually use a tmobile prl? I have a sprint galaxy s2, flashed to metro pcs. but it seems only tmobile gets service where I live.

Will this actually work?
[General Questions and Answers] eric0668:
I have had several Android devices and never this problem. All of them great phones, but this one arguably the best, the Galaxy Nexus

I installed the purchased Beautiful Widgets

It works...BUT, a big BUT

I can hit go into settings, fine

I can go into weather settings and change the weather fine,

I can change the text, etc fine

But when It comes to going directly to changing the Clocks OR going into Settings, which opens ASAP, then into Clocks, in both/all cases, it makes me wait literally 20-40 seconds, about half the time saying "beautiful widgets is not responding, wait, or no"

I always select wait, and it is fine

I just cleared cache, removed and installed the app

I also installed it new on my friends phone, the same GN, and it went right to the clocks with no problem

Can anyone help? I hope I don't need to do a factory reset

I had to a week after I got it because I could not update FB status and the Nexus rep said he had the same problem

Could it be that I have too many clocks downloaded?

I would stake my life, and stake my life that you are going to say no because I had that many on the Galaxy S II an it opened fine

Any help would be most appreciated

Sincerely

Eric

if you're using 3g and your phone is losing signal then thats why. low signal strength will kill your battery as it constantly tries to find a new stronger cell and has to keep disconnecting switching to 2g then back to 3g etc. turn your wifi back on it uses less power than 3g

[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
Task Killer Misconceptions

So we’ve explained how android works, what it means by “running” apps, and how it automatically manages its own memory so you can stick to enjoying your phone, lets move onto dispelling some common misconceptions about android and the use of task killers:

“Task killers make my battery last longer” – FALSE!

Task killers actually do the opposite, they make your battery life shorter! Lets look at what exactly you are doing when you kill a task. You are completely removing it from memory. Ok, so compared to leaving it in memory you are expecting to save battery? No, whether or not that bit of memory is used by an app or is free, the same amount of battery is going to be used. You are actually reducing battery life because when you next go to use that app, you have to fully reopen it, this uses more memory than simply bringing it out of memory.

“Task killers make my phone run faster” – FALSE

Task killers cause your phone to become unstable and jerky. Killing processes is bad because a process may be shared between applications. When you kill it, you are causing disruption within the OS, forcing apps to reopen, to reopen a shared process.

“There is no exit button, thats why i use a task killer” – FALSE

There is no exit button because android was designed to never have the need for a user to close apps. If an app needs closing, android will do this itself.

or http://droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-should-i-use-a-task-killer/
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
@up you're right. But PCrepair was talking about a task manager to prevent some apps from starting at device boot. That's something different. Your really long quoted post was a little bit unnecessary..

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
I don't agree with you. I am a fan of ES apps but Es Task Manager mainly purpouse is to kill tasks.

I don't know what's causing the OP's problem but i am 99% sure that a task manager/killer is not the solution.

And please try not to comment my posts context/quallity i don't want to start a flame but i am sure you are not proude of more than 30% of your posts.

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] pcrepair:
@uq the reason for the es app is to stop none essential apps starting on boot. I agree that task killers will drain battery quicker.

wait so just to confirm when i buy the phone the one with only x is the international version and the one with xl is the at&t version.but is there is there any need to unlock bootloader?
[HTC One X] jonshipman:
I like unlocking my bootloader so I can backup my data partitions with Clockwork Mod. You can't Flash without unlocking the bootloader (don't see why everyone is up in arms about bootloader unlocking).

Also technically the AT&T version is the XL, but they call it the X. The only way to tell really is to check to see if it has Tegra 3 versus the S4. Though if it's AT&T it'll be chalk full of AT&T crapware.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
Hi,

I got many PMs from Ray/ARC-S/ARC/Neo/Neo-V users to find a Method to install JJ's Hybrid ROM for Those with Locked Bootloaders...

YOU MUST HAVE OFFICIAL ICS INSTALLED ALREADY..

Before trying this method, you should know how to restore Phone using SEUS update for just incase if anything goes wrong...

I got idea from Arc user Flyig who gave a method and that might work... its not tested yet...

Follow the Steps as described below...

1) Root with 'Root_Exploit_OneClick'.

If you have already Rooted then there is no need to Root again...

If not then Follow Steps Blelow

a) Turn ON USB Debugging mode on your Xperia Phone and

b) Tick mark Unknown Resources

c) Extract the zip file

Root_Exploit_OneClick.zip

to your desktop

d) Attach the phone to pc, Open the 'run me' batch file. Phone will restart few 2-3 times and when it boots to Desktop, you will have Superuser application installed which is sign of successfull Root..

2) Install CWM Recovery

Again if you have CWM Recovery installed then you dont need to do this step

If not then just download the Application

Now download 'Xperia CWM Auto-installer' by pvyParts to install CWM recovery..

3) Download CWM Backups (THESE ARE NOT FLASHABLE ZIPS)

OR

OR

Extract it and copy to the SD Card to folder clockworkmod/backup/

4) Reboot to Recovery by pressing Volume Down key when blue LED light blinks or the Display brights up

5) In CWM Recovery, First do Full wipe then Go to Backup and Restore Menu.

Choose Restore and Select JJ'sHybrid ROM (if you copied it in correct path) and RESTORE...

Now Boot the ROM after Restore is complete...

Hopefully the ROM will be rooted by default.. If not then Follow One click Root method and Root it.. and Install CWM Recovery again using Xperia CWM Auto-installer..

INCASE THE METHOD DOESNT WORK OR YOU ARE STUCK WITH A BOOTLOOP then JUST RESTORE VIA SEUS UPDATE OR FLASH FTF..

Now Follow the guide test it yourself and Let me know if it works...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jjdoctor:
Instructions for Making CWM Backup for Those with UNLOCKED Bootloaders who want to help those with Locked Bootloaders..

its Simple and Easy..

1) Flash a STOCK Kernel with CWM recovery of your phone. Stock Kernel is a must as Locked bootloader guys are using Stock ones.

2) Go to Recovery, do a FULL WIPE (factory reset) and Flash My Latest ROM from the Thread.

4) Boot into ROM and wait till you see First Screen, i.e Language Setup Screen..Dont choose any language or do anything else.. Just press power and reboot to Recovery

5) In Recovery Make a CWM Backup. it will be located in SDCard/clockworkmod/backup

6) Zip that and Upload to Mediafire.com and send me the Download Link..

Simple as that... :)

Can sprint tell your constantly roaming or no? If it's no I'm in!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kyouko:
Yes they can, you can view the amount of roaming data used online on sprint.com

People have had their contracts terminated for roaming too much, but on the flip-side, there's people out there who have roamed constantly without a warning letter or anything from sprint. YMMV
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
dont do it

sprint is clamping down on it

i got a warning call once, and they said i did over 900mb while roaming
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
yes, sprint knows. i don't care. honestly, if they kicked me off, it's fine with me. i move in two weeks to a part of the country that basically only covered by verizon.

Btw.does sprint charge for roaming?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] th3b055:
Don't think Sprint charges for roaming, but I do this only because I have to. Work related.. I use the OG EVO 4G EPST.apk so I can change PRL on the fly when I need to Verizon 3G.

I'll have to double check but Sprint does throttle/limit roaming 3G to 300MB. At least that's what happened to me. Couldn't get decent Verizon 3G after I went over last month. After billing cycle I was able to get back good roaming speeds.

If you do this don't abuse it.. :o
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ProCision:
it depends on your plan, my plan does not charge for it.

Will a verizon LTE PRL give a sprint phone LTE? Can our phone roam on LTE?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Nope. Verizon's LTE network is different than Sprint's. They run on different frequencies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kkohlmann:
Will OG EVO 4G EPST.apk work for the EVO 4g lte, if it does would you mind posting a copy?

I followed the instructions you posted and it seems to be working, but I was just wondering how I will know I"m on verizon since the 0001prl file removes the notification and is there an easy way for me to control when I am on sprint or when I'm on verizon?

Thank you very much for all the help, this feature is great if I"m in a bind and need service!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
Anyone know if Sprint let's you start another line after getting kicked out? Not that I plan to or anything.. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
without an EPST.apk that will allow you to manually choose the PRL, you have to use this convoluted method to change to verizon. switching back to sprint only requires you to go into settings>updates>update PRL. it pulls it from the network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] huskers15:
You have 6 months to go back to sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kkohlmann:
is there a EPST.apk for the EVO 4g LTE?

Hi Guys...

is there a EPST.apk for the EVO 4g LTE, so we don't have to be by a computer to change the PRL?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
i tried about 3 different versions, none worked. that is what i tried to do first. i'm not saying there isn't one somewhere that works, i just couldn't find it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chada618:
could we use "roam control" app to switch back and forth between verizon prl and sprint? anyone try this
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kyouko:
Yes you can (assuming it works on the evo) I do that quite often with my NS4G

You just need to make sure you're using a PRL that has both sprint and Verizon roaming on it. -> the Corporate Customer PRLs (1111x)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chada618:
damn i followed step by step and when i put in the prl that i want it says it goes through and then my evo shows the no signal (no bars with the "x") and doesnt change from that. my prl still shows my current prl of 25003.. what am i doing wrong? should i restart? do i need to be rooted? do i need to change any of my roaming settings? please help lol my sprint 3g speeds are atrocious (.1 mb down)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jnadke:
Roam Control always requires root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] timothydonohue:
a) did you change the radio settings at all, like i mentioned at the end?

b) do you have roaming enabled under the wireless and network settings?

c) do you have all of the data roaming on as well?

and, i'm not sure if this will work or not if you don't have root. i did when i did this.
