How are you going to pocket a 10 inch tablet?

RT is like android and iOS. Price is like your desktop windows. There is a world of difference. RT wont run PC apps, only metro apps. I expect the pro will run metro apps so the all in one you want is the Pro.
[Microsoft Surface] daAppu:
That's what I've been scratching my head over. I mean, come on! What's difference between WinRT and WP8?! I'm concluding that WinRT is is basically WP8 with price of Windows 8. Just pure marketing gimmick.

Your post is off-topic. The OP is comparing WinRT v WP8 and not WinRT v Windows 8.
[Microsoft Surface] luigi90210:
windows mobile was suppose to be that merger back in 2005 but that failed horribly

maybe someone will make an app for windows8 that will provide voip calling
[Microsoft Surface] groaner:
Doh. My bad.. I was thinking of Windows pro 8 not phone 8

Bie!
[Microsoft Surface] c21johnson:
RT is slimmer and consumes less operational power. It will be limited to Metro apps.

W8 requires more computing power and is more bulky than the previously mentioned. It will have the ability to run both Metro apps and standard windows compatible programs.
[Microsoft Surface] Dri94:
Windows phone 8 not windows pro 8
[Microsoft Surface] nbates66:
part of the confusion is OP's fault for using "Windows RT" and then "WP" which can be seen as both Windows Phone 8 and Windows Pro 8. :P

anyway I guess windows phone 8 won't have a desktop but I haven't looked at any of the windows phone 8 stuff yet.
[Microsoft Surface] EShy:
Other than the totally different UI? I think they still have some differences and it's only the kernel that's the same right now.

I guess with W9/WP9 those differences will also go away and it really would be just a UI that works better on a smaller device.

The licensing costs for OEMs would still be different somehow. It's too expensive anyway. They're overcharging for the winrt license and then they also make 20-30% of sales on their app store (which with windows devices could end up being a lot more than the license)
[Microsoft Surface] Gadgety:
Thanks to all for replies. I thought Windows Phone 8 is (officially?) abbreviated WP8 while Windows 8 is abbreviated W8. I've never seen Windows 8 as WP anywhere else. WP can now be read as Windows Phone and Windows Pro!?

However I recognize the confusion, and rather than take that blame you want to attribute to me, I wonder if this is more further confusion created by Microsoft. Windows Phone --> WPH

Basically I wonder why they don't launch one OS to serves both phones and tablets? It seems RT and the WPH OS could be merged beyond just the kernel. The RT seems to have essentially everything except the phone functionality... Would generate more interesting integrated devices. How about a 7'' RT with phone ability, for example.
[Microsoft Surface] TheLegendaryJay:
WinRT WILL have the desktop, unlike Windows Phone 8. It WILL do almost everything that Windows 8 can and more - except it won't run x86/x64 compiled programs, but will have device encryption instead of drive encryption. To see what Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT are capable of find the Microsoft comparison table in one of their public announcements.

Stop speculating, find the facts.
[Microsoft Surface] Pasquiindustry:
As pointed out already, the differences would be different, even if they seem very close as os

I would add, also, that the WP had to call the module, which certainly will not have the tablet with Windows 8 RT (up to Skype, but also through non-cellular data network
[Microsoft Surface] xinn3r:
So bottom line, WinRT is in the middle of WP8 and W8?

With the lack of Metro apps as of right now, I'm a little bit worried that if I buy a WinRT Surface that I will be having a hard time finding quality apps, does anyone agree?
[Microsoft Surface] TheLegendaryJay:
No. There are big and small differences. For the average person, having a Windows RT device means they can't run their normal Windows programs and IT departments won't be able to integrate Windows RT devices with their Active Directory forests like they will be able to do with Windows 8 Pro machines, but they'll be able to make Metro apps available (or install them on) to Windows Phone 8 and at the very least Windows 9 Pro machines, possibly Windows RT, this part is a bit vague.

With 100,000 apps there are plenty to choose from ! How many apps on Play and the App Store are just rewrites by another wannabe rich dev copying someone elses idea ? Or a paid version and a free version and HD version and a HD free version with limited content ? When I first got my Android phone, there were only around 100,000 apps to iOS's nearly 400,000 and now Android has well over 600,000 less than 2 years on! MS are trying to make it easy for iOS and Android Devs to port their apps, which will hopefully encourage app growth.

With the same Metro Apps being available on Windows Phone 8, Windows RT and Windows 8 (and backwards compatible with Windows Phone 7 if the developer so chooses!) I can't see a problem. The unifying of Windows starts now people, before the iOS/OS X eventual merger in 2-3 years time and imo better than Android. Stop pissing into the wind, speculating and do some actual research on the subject.
[Microsoft Surface] ohgood:
A year ago the argument FOR wp7 was "I don't need all those apps, my os has facebook baked in."

Now, the idea that wp8 can share apps with w8 might be getting devs interested ?

Ill bet the devs are waiting to see the w8 app store functioning before they sink money into the platform.
[Microsoft Surface] brummiesteven:
Windows RT has a Desktop.

They are essentially the same thing, but then again so is Windows 8 and Windows RT, they just run on different architectures.
[Microsoft Surface] jrtorrents:
There are lots of differences, Windows RT is semi mobile whiles windows phone is fully fledged mobile OS but I suspect they will merge it in the future.Windows 9 and Wp9

But the main reason I suspect they didn't do it was because of the apps

Windows phone even though it has 120,000 apps after 2 years and is struggling to get apps, Windows 8 already has some 9,000 apps.The shear reason that Windows 8 and Windows RT can both run Metro apps means WIndows RT it will get developer attention, that wouldn't have happened if they went with Windows Phone /WIndows RT .

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I don't get the compaints with lack of apps... they are doing the best they can in terms of getting apps. Just last week there were 5000 apps, by Friday there were over 9000 apps already. Its not ideal but they are doing a tremendous job..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Shambarick:
Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Neo V : the autorotate doesn't work anymore when i rotate the phone. I updated my Neo V to official ics and i also tried KA20, shardul's rom, PoolishBlood, the autorotate worked but i don't know why and when, i noticed that it stopped working...

I tried to restore to official (4.1.B.0.431, 4.0.2.A.0.62, 4.0.2.A.0.42) and i still have the problem. But in GB, the screen gets stucked in landscape mode with autorotate enabled.

I checked if the accelerometer worked with Buble Level, PapiJump, and some games (Asphalt 6, Temple Run), i could play without problems. But when i launch the camera app, it gets stucked in landscape mode, i can't change to portrait mode, and the same when i quite the app, it's stucked to landscape mode, i have to disable the autorotate.

Now i have to use Orientation Control to change the orientation mode manually and sometimes it doesn't work very well when i look the pictures.

Is there a solution to fix my problem ?

[HTC Rezound] erisboxx:
Is having the second core always on, good or bad? Would it help performance or just give the battery extra drain it doesn't need.
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
It will just use more power for almost no gain. The system activates the second core when it needs it, and otherwise lets it sit idle.

From what I understand, the stock implementation of this isn't perfect, but we can't touch that until we get source, or Chad wraps up his hacked kernel. But it works well enough for now.

Hi,

I'm noticing that my android os is one of the main reasons my battery is draining.

I mesured this;

8u40: 23min cpu time

9u23: 29min cpu time

9u41: 32min cpu time

I haven't used the phone in the meanwhile. I get an 18 hours out of my battery, which is not suffient.

I lookt at drainer apps and such, but no one offers a solution for my problem. I need an app that logs the cpu usage, so I can detect what is consuming my cpu, thus my battery.

I have android 2.3.7, model MT27i, Kernel version 2.6.35.7+, build number 6.0.B.1.564

Am on AOKP omega rom.

1- auto brightness

2- on stand by auto change network to 2g

3- on standby switch off wireless.

3- make sure if not using wifi to switch it off because it keeps searching.

4- auto sync off.

Huge difference

P.s. Mainly what I mean by standby is sleeping time

I'm not sure how to delete the thread and I feel like an ass for posting before I did a lot more research. I just recovered using Odin. Everything is backed up so no worries. This was my first time flashing a custom ROM. I know. I know. Noob right??? At least it wasn't completely gone. If anyone has any trouble with anything like I just went through then let me know because I know what it feels like to be freaking out thinking that your phone just became a paper weight. And for anyone that is new to custom ROMS. READ! READ! READ! as much as you can about custom Roms and rooting before you proceed to do it yourself because you could end up in a worse situation than I did. If you have soft-bricked your skyrocket, I can help.

Yea, just read it. Can't believe this stupid decision by Google. Keeping the version number same and changing the platform name is very weird and childish. And it will be a disaster if it's really a mere upgrade over ICS, and i think that's true. Have they finally accepted that ICS wasn't finished and indirectly they will try to finish it with a flashy name?? I guess.

I would like to try the one click root method for my HTC One X provided with this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644167

but, i was wondering a couple of different things, and the answers are probably painfully obvious, but id rather not brick my brand new awesome phone.

1. is this rooting process permanent? if not what would be a way to return to stock AT&T unrootedness?

2. is coredroid compatible with this root?

once again, i apologize if the questions have been asked, or are too painfully stupid to answer. i am new, my bad.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wonton2049:
I know I've read it once before somewhere on the Internet. Well it happened to me.

My first EVO was returned because the light leak finally got to me. I too was part of the group who had the big sticker on the box. Other than that the phone was perfect.

The second EVO was pretty much perfect. I had 1 system reboot a day or so into owning it. Figured it was nothing. Less than a week in, I went to charge the phone and the phone restarted. Didn't know what to think. Unplugged it and played with it a little. Plugged it in again and it restarted again. Now I was perplexed. Once it restarted, I unplugged it and plugged it in to see what would happen. It just shut down. No shutdown animation. Just went black. No charging light or anything came on. Won't power up and won't accept a charge from any charger. Now I have a new replacement but I figured I'd share my experience.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Burkettacb:
Had to this happen to me. Left the phone alone for 20 mins, even turned on a fan to cool the phone. Starting charging.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wonton2049:
Wasn't so lucky. Left it over night and still nothing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] allaidback:
Had the same thing happen to me...all you have to do is hold down the power button for 10 seconds and wait for the buttons on the bottom to flash and then the phone should restart.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
What's the "sticker on the box" issue?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
Happened to me too...started up google latitude on the phone then all the sudden it went black and no calls went through, even though it rang. I was able to turn it on 30 min later, but after I held the power button down for like half a minute.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wonton2049:
Negative. Tried that too. Was tempted to throw it in the freezer too. Someone who had a similar issue said the phone came alive after that.

The phone was completely non responsive.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wonton2049:
I think some members mentioned that there were different batches. May be a coincidence but some of the phones that were reporting problems came with the larger sticker seal on the phones cardboard box.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sbuxreg:
i picked up my phone from best buy on 5/24 like 2 or 3 days into owning it i had my phone reboot randomly 1x. after the reboot it looked fine. 10 min after that it was non responsive and getting hot on the back. nothing i could do would reset it. not even holding the power button down. the row of buttons would flash but no reboot. i then put it on the charger no charge light came on and nothing whatsoever happened. i figured i had a phone that was DOA. after 20 or 30 minutes i pulled the phone off the charger it booted up and i have not had a problem to this day. My phone is not rooted and i am not doing anything crazy with it at this point. i Do have what appears to be a larger sticker on my box. Another problem i had before this was people said my voice faded in and out during calls. i tried everything. finally blowing long and hard into the microphone hole seems to have resolved the issue. just putting my experiences out there. hopefully this was an isolated incident and i will have no further issues. but i will not hold my breath.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] akhillad:
My friend own's a galaxy pop. I roorted it on sunday using SOC and flashed CWM recovery. but whichever rom i try to install, i get the message 'installation aborted'. when i start the phone, it works. but very unstable. random restarts, or the phone remains horizontal (not straight, qwerty keymode). motion doesnt work. Probably because its not installed properly.

I tried flashing the recovery again but no change. tried the latest recovery. also tried the older version of CWM recovery (v4.0.0.5). still no change.

In the end, i flashed a stock 2.3.6 gb rom for region:india. now there is no data connection nd wifi works.

don't know what has gone wrong.

I used Odin and tapps_v1(or whatever) to first flash android 2.3.6 immediatly after rooting. then i flashed CWM recovery. what shall i do????
