This is the wrong section, you need windows phone 8.

As for the question, its down to personal taste really, I love windows phone and you will get a hell of a lot for your cash with the lumia 920. Wireless charging, pure view camera, ultra sensitive hd+ screen with higher refresh rates and brightest phone screen etc. All this I assume you know but until you use it what isn't clear is just how much more productive windows phone 8 is, the os is so easy and fast to navigate and get on with. Plus its so so much faster than android no lag etc. Also you get better battery performance plus Skype built into the phone plus the people hub is hard to explain how its diff from android you just have to give it a go. You get live updates history etc all from one place. Also windows phone looks to be a real gaming platform if that's your thing with some great support for the best gaming engines. Its also the most secure os there is, android is like a siv for malware.
[Windows 8 General] shadehh:
Just like op I am drawn to the lumia 920. I never use phone for gaming, however I am much heavier on the social side and I absoloutley must have a good browser. With jelly bean almost coming to my one x, knowing that the browsing experience is great im still thinking of selling this phone and going for a lumia 920. How is the browser experience.on a win phone? Fast fluid and snappy? What's your take on the social and browser experience ?
[Windows 8 General] mikeeam:
Im absolutely like you. Im always chatting with someone through WhatsApp, I just use Facebook chat for instant messaging, and my contacts need to have photos and details. Before I buy WP, I had an iPhone and a Nexus. Why two? Because I liked to use both. One couldnt fill the "gap" that I felt about the other.

So I sold both and got a Trophy before even Mango was released. I love it till today! Browser experience isnt the best because IE 9 is a crap, but IE10 in WP8 seems to be a lot better. You don't have 1 billion apps, but you'll find the most popular and useful ones.

And the best thing about the system is the social experience. Threaded messages, all your contacts with Facebook details right from contact hub. I think you should try it!
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
As above IE9 on wp7 isn't the best but its good enough. Wp8 though will be vastly improved as it will be effectively the desktop browser same as windows 8. Also the social side is worth a note here, in windows 8 its built into the OS not just some app. This means you have access to all your social media be it live facebook twitter linkedin etc. This means you interact with the people however best fits the need at the time without the need for other apps. Also Skype will be integrated into the whole os. The apps thing is a bit of a fast. All the top stuff is there you have everything but when it comes to the small apps you can be left without. This should be due to change though as wp8 and w8 share a lot in common making app porting really simple like childs play. That mixed to the fact windows has a bigger install base then any phone os is a great incentive plus MS take less royalties.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Spacii:
As the title sais I've often heard about W-Lan connectivity bug with mounted 32gb SDHC in Iconia A101

Now my question is:

Is this bug already fixed or does anyone know if http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B003HIWHN0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A3H69U878L2A47 is compatible?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lattiboy:
Hi all,

Had the S3 for about a month now and love it. Until about a week ago my 4G speeds here in Seattle were great. Averaging 4-12Mbps down and 1-3Mbps up.

However, in the last few days my speeds have been all over the place. Sometimes I'll have 40ms ping and a 12Mbps download speed. 10 minutes later I'll have a 500ms ping and .5Mbps downloads. And it isn't just the Speedtest app. I only run the tests when I notice a website is incredibly slow to load or Google Reader is taking 30 seconds to refresh (it usually takes about 4 seconds).

I called T-Mobile worthless support line who basically said "restart your phone". Ugh.

Anyway, I'm not rooted and not terribly interested in flashing a new ROM (stock is running fine for me).

I came from Sprint where they could run profile updates if you were having data issues. Does Tmo have anything similar?

thanks!

PS I'm still within my 90-day Costco return/exchange period, so I'm happy to take it in if needs be.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akasan:
Not here to answer your question but I'm on the edge of leaving sprint for tmobile for this phone....would you say your experience has been better?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
Much better than my friends who are with Sprint. I get around 20Mbps download speeds on average everywhere I have 4G (which is just about everywhere).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
There's been some thread popping out with slow data speeds, might be T-Mobile doing something with their towers.

I'm experiencing the same issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kmacsouris:
I swore I would never purchase another Sammy product after my S2 had the brick bug - Sammy replaced the phone with a newer version of the bug :) Hence, I went out and purchased a HTC phone. Lovely phone until someone said "here you can have my Note" so I took it. Beautiful ICS 4.0.4 device from Rogers.

PITA to root as everytime I flashed the CWM kernal and restarted, it would go back to stock recovery. After about 4 attempts, I was able to flash SU and now I have root. The problem I have now is this - if I enter in the APN [not Rogers] for my provider, save and restart, its gone. It defaults back to Rogers settings. If I disable all the Rogers bloatware and restart, they are all back!! Does this phone not like changes??

I have this beautiful phone, which does not have the brick bug, and I can't customize it so that it reflects "me" as it wants to default to Rogers settings!

Anyone have any suggestions? I have no idea how my friend updated this phone to ICS. I suspect OTA but asking her is like pulling teeth. I got the response of "I turned on the phone and everything was different." Based on my prior experiences with Sammy, I am leery to go flash happy....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I suppose you could use the rogers rom....from the "note super thread"....as this would contain the needed files etc.

But read up on it, as i'm thinking it's a pure dump from the rogers note. But I "think" it's rooted....

If so, the settings should restore the device to full rogers data...

And on the rooting thing....

You had so much trouble because of a little script that Sammy put into the phone.

In the event you have to do this again, the info is in the super thread on how to avoid the stock 3e recovery from showing up again after boot..

Check out the thread, and the links, and I'm sure you'll find the info....g

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Here is a little utility that may appeal to some.

Transferring files over the USB connection is annoying.

At the very least you have to plug in a connection, at the most you have an inactive Nook.

My philosophy has always been that the desktop is the gold standard and portable devices are ephemeral.

Synchronizing between the two is the goal of adbsync.

It will allow synchronization in either direction over ADB (presumably WiFi, but it would work over USB too).

Some examples:

[color=red]Update Nook[/color]
adbsync C:\Books "sdcard/My Files/Books" /a /v

[color=red]Sync both directions[/color]
adbsync C:\Notes sdcard/Notes /a /h /v

[color=red]Sync both directions but don't overwrite the PC, use another dir[/color]
adbsync C:\Notes sdcard/Notes C:\Fixme /a /h /v

[color=red]Sync both directions including subdirectories[/color]
adbsync C:\Stuff sdcard/Stuff /a /h /s /v

You must have established a connection already to the Nook using adb connect 192.168.XXX.XXX

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
An anomaly has surfaced. Ok, maybe I mean bug. It's a matter of perspective.

When you sync a file, then do a busybox stat on it:

# busybox stat sdcard/Music/index4b.htm
...
Modify: 2012-07-11 22:55:11.000000000

Then you reboot the Nook (or remount the sdcard) and do a busybox stat on it:

# busybox stat sdcard/Music/index4b.htm
...
Modify: 2012-07-11 22:55:10.000000000

The file getting one second older causes it to need to be resynced.

The problem

Linux keeps filetimes in one second resolution. It caches them for mounted systems.

When a vfat partition is mounted the filetimes are taken from the partition at the MS-DOS 2 second resolution.

This can cause the filetimes to be truncated to an even number of seconds.

The solution

adbsync now uses as default a 2 second resolution to allow syncing of vfat paritions without further ado.

When syncing ext2, ext3, etc partitions you may use the /1 flag to use 1 second resolution.

Note that the default 2 second resolution will work fine in this situation too.

The new adbsync is in the signature.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There's a new version available (in the signature).

It does a few things better.

It will update subdirectories (using the /s flag) as long as they exist already.

It will signal the conflict if Bogus is a file on the Android but a dir on the Host.

It gives more broken-down statistics.
[Nook Touch General] PRichardson:
Thank you so much for creating this utility!!

Thank you so much for creating this adbsync utility. I am hoping (and will let you know soon) that it will help me perform large sync tasks (thousands of files, ranking from a few kb up to about 100 mb), with dozens of directories --- which I regularly make minor updates to (unpredictable as to what), and then need to sync these changes to or from various computers where mirrors exist (where I connect my Galaxy Nexus (LTE), and to a large USB Flash/Thumb drive).

I have been through an absolute nightmarish struggle to sync non-multimedia (not music/video) files for several weeks now, as there are no utilities that will give my MTP only (no UMS) ROM partition a drive letter (there is no SDcard, just a sym-link to a folder --- see this thread --- and my last few posts there).

(I have not been able to find much info beyond the typical "adb help all" regarding the adb command "adb sync", and certainly no useful scripts that make it user-friendly.)
[Nook Touch General] PRichardson:
Testing is Successful Thus Far (Yeah!!)

Hi Renate,

I am very sorry to bother you again, but I just wanted to let you know that my little test went very well. I think I am going to wind up making use of this tool you wrote perhaps regularly now (for a while) --- thanks again.

Here was the initial "listing" of the test directories I sync'd:

C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adbsync D:\WIRELESS\FullPathHere sdcard/SimilarPathHere /d /s /v /2
...
...
Dirs match: 86
Files match: 13
H Host file only: 190
A Android file only: 10
A> Android file newer: 524

Where as this can be a nice time-saving tool for me (to sync lots of directories and files without navigating them all), the only remaining downside is that I am somewhat limited in the available comparisons I can make here - which I think may be resulting in more push/pulls than is truly necessary. In other words, in some cases I may not want to copies ANY files that same size, path, and filename name, even though they may have a different last modified/created dates. In that scenario, I would ONLY want to syn those that are merely absent altogether (and ignore the file created/last modified dates), which would of course be a less inclusive kind of comparison/sync.

Could you perhaps add this feature in to this tool, or else give me some hints so that I can create my own script/tool to also do this?

Thanks so much, I am very impressed and grateful!,

Paul
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
adb sync seems very limited in application. I've never really tried it.

Well, besides your request for the capability to only sync files that don't exist,

there is the other scenario to only sync files that already exist.

I'll look into how to do this cleanly.

I do have an option (I'm not sure that it's on the uploaded version) to create or ignore directories that don't exist.
[Nook Touch General] PRichardson:
Awesome!! (thanks again ;)

Hi Renate,

Thank you for responding ;)

... thank you! That sounds great. BTW: Did you use the source code for this adb mod in order to write the code for this version?

...again, I am eternally grateful. If you don't want to post it publicly, you might consider just PM-ing me?

Best Regards,

Paul
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, I had already done half of half of what you wanted.

The /s flag searches subdirectories.

The /c flag searches and creates subdirectories that don't exist on the android.

adbsync /a /s /c will create new subdirectories on the android.

I haven't made the host part of it work yet.

That is, with adbsync /h /s /c it will not create subdirectories on the host (yet).

Download in the signature.
[Nook Touch General] dragonnn:
Any chance to get it for Linux too?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Mmm, there are various GUI file managers that work with ADB.

The whole point of ADB is it connects to your Nook on port 5555

On the other side it takes requests from client programs on your host on port 5037.

When you do an ADB shell you are running adb on the host twice, once as a server and once as a client.

The Nook is running the adbd daemon.

The ADB server on the hosts supports multiple clients.

That's why you can run a shell, a logcat, a pull and my adbsync all at the same time.

Currently my code is too tied to Windows stuff to really port to Linux easily.
[Nook Touch General] eksasol:
Thank you for this application. I absolutely hate MTP transfer mode on newer devices, especially when I have to sync files, but Grsync can't detect MTP. This really help.
[Nook Touch General] dragonnn:
Yes, MTP sucks, rsync don't work on it too, I will try to made a bash script for adb to have a software like yours adbsync.

error using adbsync

hi,

using adbsync for a small test i got the erroro message

"Root for android does not exist".

as i know my device is already rooted?

any idea whats wrong?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, maybe I should have written that error message more specifically as:

"Root directory specified for the android in the second argument does not exist."

adbsync /a /s /c /v C:\Books sdcard/Books

sdcard/Books must already exist.

On some (non-Nook) devices /sdcard is actually a link to /mnt/sdcard

adbsync will complain that the root for android is not a directory, so do this instead:

adbsync /a /s /c /v C:\Books mnt/sdcard/Books

If you insist on a (superfluous) leading slash or spaces in a directory, put it in quotes:

adbsync /a /s /c /v C:\Books "/sdcard/Stupid stuff/Books"
[Nook Touch General] pbelcl:
Yes that helped, destination folder was missing ;)

So i made a copyjob that syncs various folders from PC to Android Phone.

but sometimes during copying a whole folder structure with subfolders in the middle of copyjob i get an error:

=>Can't copy to android

some files ar copied and some files not, very strange ?

any hints what's the reason ??
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
"Can't copy to Android" might be a timeout on transfer.

Are they really big files? Do you have a really slow SD card?

I might have to increase the timeout.

In any case, if you get a "Can't copy" you can just repeat the same command again.

If you use the /l flag it will list all files in either host or device.

By looking at the leftmost field you can see what adbsync thinks of the two.

To see flag usage just type "adbsync".
[Nook Touch General] pbelcl:
You are right, in this case i try to copy some mpg4 video files, are about 200 MB big.

maybe it is possible to select timeout with a parameter for future versions ?

yes i tried and it worked for the next files ;)

by the way a question:

is it possible to get some logfile what happened during adbsync, when it runs unattanded?
[Nook Touch General] pbelcl:
Tried to use ADBSYNC on another PC but i get the error "No ADB server".

This problem occures only at the first run of adbsync!

after one time adb.exe was called, adbsync works perfect.

maybe i have to start adb.exe BEVORE i can run ADBSYNC ??
[Nook Touch General] tbnz:
Awesome! Very handy!

This is awesome! Thanks :)

Any chance you could add the ability to exclude certain extensions? I end up with my Thumbs.db in image folders.. as well as other files I don't want to sync...?
[Nook Touch General] pbelcl:
is there any possibility to get a trial version with increased timeout?

now i have to start the sync procedure 5-7 times to get all files synced, so it is not very useful for me ;.(

[Nook Touch General] joe890:
Can adbsync be used to sync/copy all filesystem-objects of a rooted mobile to the usb connected Linux host?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Since it's using the functionality of adb, it depends on the rights/context of adbd (the daemon).

I'm usually using a rooted adb, meaning that adb shell gets you a #.

If you've got an adbd that allows adb root that's probably just as good.

If you have a stock, unrooted device you probably won't be able to copy application data and the like.

If you are looking to make your device brick-proof backing up whole partitions as a single file might be more useful.
[Nook Touch General] joe890:
Thank's Renate for the reply!

->Since it's using the functionality of adb, it depends on the rights/context of

->adbd (the daemon).

Very interesting... my idea was always, that if the mobile is rooted, that I don't have to care about the rights/context of adb .....

->I'm usually using a rooted adb, meaning that adb shell gets you a #.

mint@mint:~$ sudo adb shell

surnia:/ $

Hmm.. that looks bad:(

May I ask you, if the rooted adb version you are using is available to the public?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, we're in a B&N forum and you have a Motorola?

If you're using Magisk then you need to do an su in a shell, which doesn't help at all in shell-less adb operations (push, pull).

adb root doesn't work either "in production builds".

You have to patch adbd.

I have a few patched versions for B&N stuff.
[Nook Touch General] joe890:
Yes I do have an old MotoE( Surnia 1524) with LOS for microG 14.1 for testings...
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, it does get tricky patching them.

adbd used to be use generic libraries or static, but now adbd is tiny and uses a zillion libraries for stuff.

It is all open source so you can build it yourself.

Still, I never build kernels or stock objects, I'd rather patch.

Try this one: https://xdaforums.com/t/2014-11-10-root-adbd-insecure-v2-00.1687590/

[Nook Touch General] joe890:
Unfortunately no luck with adbd-Insecure-v2.00.apk: "Could not patch adb" ....
[Nook Touch General] Aqq123:
You installed and ran the APK on the device? Don't do it. Instead just rename it to .zip and open it with 7-Zip or the like. Extract one of the files under assets/adbd.#.png – these are actual adbd ELF binaries, not PNG images, and the number # denotes the Android SDK level each was compiled for. Not sure what you're trying to do exactly but generally you can replace /sbin/adbd in your boot image ramdisk with one of these. Maybe also need to set ro.debuggable=1 and ro.secure=0 in default.prop and setprop ro.adb.secure 0 in init.rc (the latter only if you want any device authorized by default, which is of course

insecure

).
[Nook Touch General] joe890:
