[Windows Phone 8 General] Ryan J Williams:
I was unbelievably sceptical about Microsoft gaining any real traction with the new WP, but it does look like it's going to come into its own within the next year so. I personally was put off before because of a lack of high-resolution displays (which the OS didn't even support AFAIK) so will be on Android for the next year or so, but I'm hoping next time around I can seriously consider Windows Phone 8 or its successor. :D
[Windows Phone 8 General] Demaar:
Slightly off topic, but I find PrimeTube to be a worthy successor to MetroTube :)

My Live account is actually my Gmail address, so I have them both synched up to my phone (contacts, calendars and emails). The aforementioned PrimeTube has my Youtube subscriptions covered. I'm not sure what else you could want, besides Google+, but with the Facebook and Twitter functionality on WP being the way it is... I kind of forget about my Google+ account.

Edit: I find Windows Phone is a slow burn. At first everyone I knew sort of shunned it and was all "Why would you even want a Windows Phone?" but as time wore on I've won over a few converts, and I'm seeing more and more people dissatisfied with their current smart phones... and it's not over stuff that can be fixed without major overhauls (like just the way things work, UI and so on).

A friend of mine got an Omnia 7 cheap unlocked after owning an iPhone and an Xperia of some sort. She was never happy with a smart phone until she got onboard with WP. My mum too. Smart phones were always too complicated for her, but now she's finally joined the computer age. My sister has had an Omnia 7 for a while as well after being intensely frustrated with her old iPhone, and she's convinced her partner to get one (it was pretty easy after he realised Office was on there. If I knew that was all it took to convince him I would have said sooner lol).

Anyway I guess my point is, Windows Phone is getting there. Slowly, but surely. Windows Phone 8 is definitely the dramatic step forward the platform needs. I'm pretty happy to have been on board from the get go, and I'm excited to see where things lead :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] garak0410:
Thank's for all of the app tips. I am not a "Google" fanboy but when I finally let them take me to the cloud with my contacts, email, RSS feeds and podcasts, I kind of liked it. All of their apps are a joy to use (Google Reader, YouTube, Maps, Listen.)

But I am ready to transition to Surface/Windows Phone 8. If it wasn't a bad "buy", I'd pick up an old TITAN until the WP8's come out so I can begin my transition to Microsoft services. My work issued Verizon HTC Trophy just doesn't cut it yet...
[Windows Phone 8 General] drizzlet:
Slightly off-topic, but in case you guys didn't know, MetroTube is back in the Marketplace :D

It's by far the smoothest and most functional WP7 app that I've used.

Also, with your original post about being 'into' the Google ecosystem--I was like that when I used Android, and then I gradually switched over a lot of my services to the Live equivalents (hotmail, calendar, etc). I found that the first party app integrations were much more reliable than the third party clients.

I am in the same boat.
[Windows Phone 8 General] nips_uk:
Cant agree with all of you more. Been using WP& on my HD2 since the early days of its release. I cant/wont use anything else now. All my RSS/email/Office on tap! Even able to connect the phone to my classroom projector for my Powerpoints! My phone is slowing dying however and can not find anything i like to replace my HD2WP7(64GB). I may have to wait until WP8 or unless i can find a 2nd hand HD2!

Last month i bought a Samsung series 7 Slate with Win8 and love it. I use it for work, i use it along with my phone (connection to the phones 3G WiFi) and regulary annoy my iPad/android mates by playing Civ5 and other games on my slate.

Ive always believed that if Microsoft pulled their finger out, they could easily group all their systems together (PC/Phones/Consoles/Online services) and win the market. Its starting to ring true as just this month, 4 friends got rid of their iPhones for WP7 after their phones broke/crashed/stopped working.

People need to stop being fooled by fake advertising and apple design and move away from the dark side to app intergration and one platform! :p

Anyway, my rant over! Keep it up Microsoft!
[Windows Phone 8 General] bitdecay:
I was sold on the Windows phone concept in the days of the Zune HD, which was leaps and bounds ahead of its time (well, ahead by a few years at least) in terms of fluidity and interface. I really love the direction that Microsoft has taken with the next generation of its OS, and I was very happy to see Surface premiered.

The only problem I had when I was using the ZHD was the very limited market for apps it provided, but that seems to be a thing of the past.

Well I ve been In cm9+franco for long over 3 months now my battery was about 15 hours with 4 hours screen more or less but now it's draining way faster here some pics..

Could someone tell me what's the problem if any?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Pics don't work.

It is probably a rogue app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrgilbert79:
Download a free app from market

If your looking for applications to see if apps are taking cpu cycles there is an android info app in the market that can show you all processes and cpu cycles...looking for something that stays near the top and thats probably the issue. Also make sure that you have google now disabled, NFC, and geolocation if you dont check in everywhere. These are built in "very nice" features but they constantly pull your phone out of deep sleep on the move...and god knows we all want 2 hours screen time :highfive:

[Q]"Turning Wi-Fi on".... but it never turns on - running Paranoid Android ROM

I can't post on the developer page so hoping this is ok....

Just wondering if anyone has found this problem? Or more importantly - has anyone found a solution?!

Cheers

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canned30:
I've sorted this by downloading another FXP126 CM9 ROM and taking the boot.img from there.

Or at least, since I did that, it's working....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnrangoo:
Rather sounds like you had an incompatible combination of kernel-wifi modules.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamEsRock:
FXP 125 Kernel is said to have this problem. Dunno if it goes on in 126.

It is said to be fixed by using any root explorer and browsing to Data>Misc>dchp and deleting the .pid and .lease files in there (aka, all in the folder).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrrabec:
Solution:

download Wi-Fi fix CM9/CM10 FXP Wi-Fi fix #3 (November 27, 2012) (under Miscellaneous ALL DEVICES) as a new user i can't post links, so search for FreeXperia extended ROM/kernel on Google and click the first link.

Can anyone tell me the name of the icon set from this screenshot? I have the set and it's called Signa, but when I look anywhere else, I can't find these particular icons under that name. They seem to be the default MIUI v4 ones also, but after searching I can't find them either.

All I want to do is find more or make some requests as there's some missing I'd like.

edit: Wow, typical. I literally just found where I can request icons. Sorry!

Hi

I want to upgrade my sd card, I have a vfat partition of 3GB + 1 ext4 partition of 1GB at the moment on my card.

If I upgrade to a bigger sd card, and create same partitions (just different sizes) on the new one, move data across, does android complains?

Should be ok, as long as the device of the partitions are the same, no?

Thanks for the tip
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
yes man this is ok you can make different size parts but keep type (vfat, ext)

also you can keep the old sdcard until finish your job just to be sure about !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevg77:
I have a few questions that I was unable to find answers to by searching XDA.

I have had my new EVO for about 2 weeks.

I lost my EVO within days of adding the Sprint TEP, does anyone know if there is a waiting period to file a claim? I read on another forum that there is 14 day waiting period for lost/stolen claims, but I don't want to call and have them void my insurance. Also, does anyone know if Sprint TEP is sending out brand new EVOs because of how new they are? I don't want to end up getting a similar device because they don't have any.

Thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
I believe you were looking at my thread I was talking to sprint who was talking to asurion the asurion guy told her that it would take ~14 days and the phone would be new. I told her to put a note in my account that the phone should be brand new. The phone came in 2~3 days instead of the 14.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
There is no waiting period. You're free to commit insurance fraud.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
There is no waiting period to use TEP. Just an FYI, Asurion sometimes requests that you have a police report (within a certain period of time) in some cases of lost/stolen. Also, believe it or not, according to others, Asurion has Evo LTE refurbs in stock and are ready to fulfill your replacement needs. Good luck!

this is the only feature that it's important to me, as the phone run out of memory after about 10 apps.

Is there a version of stock with Darktremor A2SD support?
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
You can always wipe everything, flash a stock rom, then flash darktremor's script.

-----------

"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
[HTC Wildfire S] CaptainMaki:
doesn't darktremor require ROM built in support? does flashing make the required changes to the init.rc ?
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Oh crap, you're right.

You could try CM7, roms are stable and I think most if not all support a2sd.

[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Google is expected by some to announce Android 4.1 Jellybean next week along with their Nexus 7 tablet. Besides chrome integration and a new search widget, what do you guys think will be included with this update?

Since its coded 4.1 and not 5, i expect Android ICS devices will be updated to 4.1 as it is pretty soon to updgrade hardware requirements as 1gb is pretty muh still the standard adn most ICS devices have this amount of RAM. This said, do you guys think any developers will begin porting 4.1 to our devices, even with the hardware codecs and other issues still being prevelant? Would you guys really want it like this, half built?

If this update is good, would this persuade you to upgrade to the droid4, as it will have a higher probability of having a completely working port? since it has ICS now leaked and working, and still a high end phone, when not compared to the SIII atleast.
[Motorola Droid 3] Juicy555:
I think our device runs fine on Gingerbread still...

It would be nice for a port but the little development we have now is already stable with gingerbread.
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
It was leaked that the GNex will be getting 4.1. As for us running it... I would bet large sums of money against it working right.

From RootzWiki: Galaxy Nexus to get Jellybean 4.1

Screenshot proof:

http://rootzwiki.com/uploads/monthly_06_2012/ccs-808-0-41169000-1340388367_thumb.jpg

Although this is the GSM versions pictured, it won't be tough to build it from source for the CDMA GNex before it's pushed.
[Motorola Droid 3] Senate9690:
4.0.3 to 4.0.4 was pushed to most if not all custom ICS roms. I don't see why 4.1 would not follow, unless there are MAJOR changes which from what I've read there really aren't. I would expect Gummy and AOKP to bring it to their roms in the near future.

However I highly doubt it will change how we stand with our current issues and most likely may cause some new ones.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Ehhh gingerbread runs ok on our phones in my opinion, ics was ALOT faster for me. Im using elcipse right now and its fast but my benchmakrs with ics were much higher, os ran smoother too.

That is a good point by the poster above, so that is high hopes of seeing a port even though I know it wont bring any more features than we already have, except the minor changes to the OS. It will be fun to test though. In around 12 hours we will have better knowledgge of what Jwlly Bean has to offer
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I'm sorry but what's the point in upgrading if we won't have a proper ICS on D3 anyway?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
To make you wanna upgrade even more. I cant wait to get on ics, but since I need video its not gonna happen until I get a new phone
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Some people don't need video camera, like all the ics usersd we have now, and otherxs want to test the new operating system, since we do have safestrap. Id love to test it, even though it wont be my daily
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
Also, you guys should really check out jellybean. It seems to be a much more complete os.
[Motorola Droid 3] jonpry:
drive eynames

I'm working on a kexec based bootloader bypass on droid3. It's coming along and the kernel say half boots. Once it is going I think jellybean is a real possibility. Probably will just skip ICS all togeather.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
thanks! sounds interesting
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
I saw your post in the kexec thread, I wish I knew how to help with that, I recommend you contact the original kexec developers, (I forgot which phone they were on) to help.
[Motorola Droid 3] AStinkyBumb:
I hate "half done" anything... i would like to see it completed for our devices however its not persuading me to go to the D4 since i am a new verizon customer and my plan isnt up for renewal for another year.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Oh really :D

So if you were able to get custom kernels working does that mean you could use something like a modded Bionic ICS kernel (since its very similar hardware) or would a kernel have to be made from scratch.
[Motorola Droid 3] xyzyxx:
The Nexus S is getting an official Jellybean update, and it only has 512MB of memory, just like the Droid3.

I read that memory limitations are what prevented devices like the NexS and the Droid3 from getting properly updated to ICS. I also read that Jellybean probably has looser system requirements than ICS, due to optimizations.

I do hope we can get JellyBean, either officially or otherwise. I'd love to have Google Now and I'm only halfway through my two-year contract.
[Motorola Droid 3] KayxGee1:
Hashcode already has a custom kernel with the test rom I believe.
[Motorola Droid 3] RoadToNever:
That's crazy, I was wondering whether any singlecore 512MB RAM phone was getting JB.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Correct. Also he has said that we will be able to get Jellybean. I would imagine with all he has learned this year, he can probably get it fully running now. Hwcodecs may be the showstopper though...again. In theory a workaround may be available since we have a custom kernel.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well I assume it will be fully working eventually, i mean why else would he try it this way if the end result exactly as it is now?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
512 is enough but I think the issue has something to do with RAM being shared with the GPU so there is less avaliable, I get something around 330MB as total RAM when adding the 2 numbers under running services. My Droid 3 running stock 2.3.4 with bloat frozen is using around 250 MB. My Touchpad with CM9 and a full 1GB of RAM idles at around 300MB of RAM used, and its going to be less conservative on RAM usage since its got a GB.

The point is I don't think a CM9/10 ROM will be much worse than a bloated GB ROM as far as RAM usage goes. I really wish we had some more RAM, but I could see CM9/10 being a daily driver sometime in the future. The rest of the hardware in this phone is still pretty decent and CM should be no problem for it as long as the team can get some drivers working.

Question on this, hoping you guys dont mind.

This script is for the international gs3 to flash a theme (framework, systeui) as you can see it points to 0p9.

International code

show_progress(0.500000, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

said I changed the code to 14 could I flash a new framework with a zip?

show_progress(0.500000, 0);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] HellcatDroid:
Hey guys :)

Hope you don't mind me dropping in here.

I am a bit puzzled about the EFS in these variants of the S3.

I myself have an I9300, so can't investigate myself.

The question at hand is, due to the lack of a "nv_data.bin" in /efs, is it still enough to backup this folder and dump it's partition (mmvblk0p11) to have a proper backup for when the IMEI corrupts and these things....

Background is, I am working on tweaking my app "kTool" to be compatible with these variants of the S3 to make proper EFS backups....

Anyone able to shed some light into the pitch black dark here?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
This thread is to clear up the "important software update" text some of us have been getting. First off seeing as how the T989, 727R and i777 ICS updates were done through Kies this more than likely wont be an OTA update due to the size of it but will be downloaded and installed with Kies.

the message that skyrocket users (and HTC vivid owners) have been receiving: "IMPORTANT SOFTWARE UPDATE: AT&T is providing a critical software update for your device. Please follow screen prompts."

Seeing as how the galaxy S2 (i777) is officially getting ICS on 6/25/12 this message is more than likely referring to that specific update for the i777 which

IS NOT

for the at&t galaxy s2 skyrocket
