I develop for both Android and iOS so I'll would hope I'm not biased towards one of the other.

In my experience, development on iOS is easier. The tools you get with XCode are far superior than Android/Eclipse especially when it comes to building your User Interface.

Downside with iOS is that it requires you to buy a Mac and then to spend the time learning Objective-C. For most Java developers, Android is just another library so the learning curve is lower.

Every things better with Android!! With and android if you don't like some thing you can change it but with IOS you stuck with it weather you like it or not. Plus the custom roms on android is what IOS users dream of.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cole_himself:
I've personally owned numerous iOS devices as they progressed and I have owned numerous Android devices as they, too, have progressed. I was also, for a decently long time, a heavy iPhone fan. I can say that iPhone will have Android beat in some cases (depending on what devices you compare), but if you compare both iOS and Android top-of-the-line devices, Android wins, hands down. The product is of better quality, the OS is as simple or as complex as you want to get, the specs are better, and the freedom is outrageously more substantial. With iOS, it is simple, it is more integrated, but it just isn't as great as the customization, enhancement, and freedom that android offers.

Android offers freedom, fun, and customization, whilst maintaining simplicity.

iPhone offers simplicity.

Its still ultimately your call, but I'm gonna side with Android. (This, coming from an old iPhone die-hard.)

Here is a side-by-side comparison I captured from Wirefly. It compares the iPhone 4S to the Hottest Androids right now and then it compares the 3GS to several free Androids.

iPhone 4S versus hot Android phones.

If you go android don't go cheap to compete with the like of the iPhone you have to have the best ..if you go cheap then you are likely to have freeze ups and etc then complain about how you hate android when in actuality its not android its the hardware and the manufacturers customization to the software..so I suggest you start with the elite in the android world as a start ..also iPhone is nice I'm not going to lie..but its limited by a lot so the only thing cool is the apps but who cares android has all the same apps ...iOS is sort of customizable if you jailbreak it but nowhere near as much as android also sometimes to me when jail broken and all of the stuff you do to customize it Iphones seem less stable ..in the end its really up to you simple and straight forward (iPhone)...or simple as you want it to be (android)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rawfa:
I´m looking for a case that I can buy on ebay (there is no nook accessories in Brazil and ebay is the only place I´ve found that ships here and has a huge variety of cases).

- I don´t like cases that lock the nook in with rubber bands. Rubber bands move and are anoying (sometimes they slip into the screen and cover screen buttons, making access to tham harder)

- I would like the case to have a stand (if I want to watch a movie or something)

- I would prefer it as simple looking as possible so that it won´t actually look like a tablet when I´m transporting in the street

- I don´t want to spend a fortune (it´s JUST a case)

- If it´s one of those combos that come with a protective screen filter it will be even better, but it´s not a decisive factor
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
just a word of warning when buying a case on ebay that also has a stand for watching vids. the case will most likely leave leather scuff marks around your nook tablet. so unless you don't care about that, i would say try and get a silicone case or some kind of case that doesn't have leather on the inside. if you want to know what case i got just leave a reply and i'll post a link to it when i can.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rawfa:
I don´t want to get any scuffs but I want to have the stand. It´s hard to believe that ALL cases with stands will have this effect on the nook. There has to be some out there that are good and that can be bought on ebay.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
there are cases like that, just make sure the inside of the case has no leather material in it and you should be fine

Hello there folks,

Greetings!!!

This is my first post on this forum and I hope that I will find what I am looking for.

I have searched through the forum to find if a similar Q had already been posted but, couldn't find one. Therefore, starting one thread of my own.

I am currently running CyangenMod 7.2.0-RC1-legend on my HTC Legend and I want to load the stable version of this ROM.

But when I try to load the ROM, the setup says "Device Not Found" and it does not proceed any further. I first thought if the OS of my machine could be a problem (32 bit vs 64 bit) but found out that the OS is not an issue.

I am not sure what could be the cause of this and how do I fix it.

I request you folks to please help me out with this issue. In case any further details are needed to help find the cause, I shall gladly share the same.:laugh:

Thank you very much in advance. Hope to hear soon from you.

Regards,

Sridhar

P.S: Like I said this is my first post. So you may find it to be a bit lengthy. Please excuse me for that :laugh:

Does anyone know how I can change permissions for individual apps on Jelly Bean on the Galaxy Nexus (GSM)?

I've tried many apps like "Permissions Denied," but none of them seem to work. Most of the apps only allow you to view the permissions without modifying them, but the few that can actually modify permissions don't seem to be compatible with this phone. However, maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

The reason I'm trying to do this is because I want to disable data usage on a particular app (Navigon 4.1.3) because it uses 5 kB of data every time it launches. Please let me know if you guys have any insight into this matter. :)

DO NOT USE WITH JELLY BEAN

There is an app I saw in another post called lbe privacy guard

It is supposed to let you change privileges on apps. I have never used it though, so I am not sure if it will work out not. Might be worth a try.

Edit: I tried this on jelly bean last night, and it gave me a loop after the phone booted. It would keep going to the lock screen, and then 10 seconds or so would pass and it would start "protecting" my phone, and it would go back to lock screen with no service. Pain in the butt to uninstall and fix phone.

Do not install it now if you are on jelly bean. Wait until they update the app first.

Hi,

I've got a problem with the headphone in. When i connect headphones, it works as it should. The problem is when I disconnect the headphones. The symbol indicating that there are still headphones connected, stays in my status bar. So my H1S thinks my headphones are still connected, which is very annoying because for example, my audio isn't working anymore so I can't hear anyone that's calling me.

So how can I solve this problem? Should I start with a factory restore? Or is this most likely a hardware issue?

Has no one else encountered this issue?

Just plug in your head phones and pull them out a couple of times. If that doesn't work take a paper clip and just rub some of the connectors inside.

Not to mention Project Butter needs to be merged with the build.

I was worried about this too, and you're wrong.

Basically from what I can tell you give up SPen specific apps, like you say, anything built against the Samsung SPen SDK.

That said, Papyrus works JUST LIKE it did before. Pressure, side button, ignore fingers, etc... I have it set so side button is erase, fingers are ignored, and I can draw away, click the button to erase, my fingers won't accidentally draw, etc.

So while there might be an SPen App market that's growing a bit, the SPen's functions can be well supported without it.

Hi all;

Yesterday I've mounted CWM and Cianogenmod 7 for the S5830. After that, make a partition on my 8GB SD and install several applications.

All was working correctly until it give a fail accesing history file of whatsapp. The problem was with the SD card that not respond. Try to mount in other Ace and say me that it was damaged. Tried to format, but no answer.

As I have no other SD card, downloaded a stock firmware an use Odin to flash the stock firmware, but Odin began to download the MIBIB and this it's all. It don't pass from here.

After that, when I try to boot it only appears a image with a phone in one side an exclamation sign inside a yellow triangle and a computer on the othe side.

Tried to boot in recovery mode get the same image.

It only boot in downloading mode and in ram dump mode.

I've tried to flash with odin the CWM again but it get stucked.

Tried to connect to Kies but it get connecting forever.

Tried to find a message in the forums about this image with the exclamation sign but I've not found anything about it.

Someone who know how to recover it, please ?

Turn off phone, remove battery, hold three buttons combination for download mode (home+vol down+power), and while u still holding those three buttons reinsert the battery. The yellow exclamation mark between a pc and a phone wont appear, instead u should get into download mode now.

Connect usb with pc and flash with odin.

WOW! Thanks, thanks and thanks again. I've tried several times to flash again with odin but always it stalled at MIBIB part.

I don't know what is the difference between 'insert battery and then push the buttons to force download mode' and the method you say me of push first the buttons and then insert the battery, but it seems it has worked perfectly.

It downloaded correctly the stock rom and after it I was able to reset the cache and boot it again normally.

Many thanks again.

I have been using a trusty U8120 for a while now with Fresh Zodiac Fruit Rom. I was browsing on it last night and then next day the screen was just inoperable. Sometimes it would "take" some input, but it would understand something different (e.g. on a keypad, touch it in the middle "5" and it understands top right "3", but then again, "3" doesn't register either).

Here's the funny thing: it doesn't take any input whatsoever, but, if the screen is about to idle shut down and I touch it, it goes back on full light, meaning it understands the touch.. what the..?
