Chrome does now support Metro you just have to have it set as your default browser. The 2 screens is only Metro style apps so yes you cant have 2 metro style chromes but you can still open as many desktop/old style chromes as you want just as you did in windows 7. With dual screen one screen will always display its half of the desktop the metro start screen only goes onto 1 monitor. It is that one monitor that metro apps will run. It is a huge blunder in my opinion but what can you do.

If you are running a desktop pc esp with multi monitors then you wont notice to much diff in looks and feel. You will notice a huge jump in speed though but a loss of transparent windows :(. It is also worth putting a start link on the taskbar as sometimes getting the corner between screens is tricky (well not tricky but faster if you have a bigger target), just google "show start.exe".

As for the marketplace from diff country that I don't think would be possible I thought you where talking about side loading apps. You may be able to with the use of vpn but I cant confirm this.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Ok, thanks for the info.

I guess the best would be to simply try Win8 before I buy it.

3 (new) questions than:

What is the latest ver. of Win 8 I should download?

I do not own any VM software - is there (an easy) way to test Win* under Win7 (I dont mind that system will not be as fast, etc... but I would be able to see how it works...)

If I would have to make a proper install of Win8 on my PC... how hard will it be to go back to my current Win7?

As I keep 90% of ma data either in the cloud or on a on a different partitions on my drives formatting C: is not a problem... but I have read that once Win 8 is installed Win7 does not want to format this drive and install itself on it.... true?
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
Your best bet is to use a diff hard drive that way you can dual boot into windows 7 and windows 8 then when your done unplug the hard drive test you can boot into 7 still then format. This is the best way though I have heard of issues going back I have never had any, you boot to a disk then format the drive when you install 7 so I don't see how it could be, maybe they are trying to keep there files etc ie downgrade instead of a new install.

you can get a 90 day trial of rtm (the final build as it will be sold) here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj554510.aspx But note you will need to uninstall it and reinstall if you want to keep using windows 8 after the 90 days.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Last thing,

I plan to install Win8 (today) on my external 160GB disk.

It will be connected to my PC via e-Sata... any advice before I proceed?

I dont want to put it on disk where is my current Win7 as I need it daily to work... so this should work... right? :) (motherboard is old; Abit Ab9Pro)
[Windows 8 General] x10man:
If this hasn't already been answered, I use tor for Netflix and it doesn't work will on windows 8. I can load the home but then it goes back to the UK version. It works fine on 7.

X10man
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Sorry I got bit confused...

Where do you use it (UK or USA)?

You try to access Netflix via VPN and Metro app or browser?
[Windows 8 General] x10man:
I'm in the UK and I use tor to access the US version with desktop chrome and proxy switchy to act as a Tor button.

X10man
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Perhaps it is a TOR (and selected exit node) problem...

Try this 3h trial of VPN (free) and see if it is working - http://www.hideipvpn.com/freetrial/

Do you use Chrome under desktop or Modern UI mode?

Can you recommend a good (free) set of video codecs? I cant play mkv at the moment :(

Hello everyone,

I am missing the brightness toggle on the notification bar. There is the option in CM10,but it doesnt appear. Is that normal?

I have searched the forum,but the search funktion doesnt work this time....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
You sure you didn't enable the swype notification bar to adjust brightness-setting? For that, just swype across it (from left to right to increase the screen brightness, from right to left to decrease).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilspawnas:
Where i can turn off the swype notification bar? I didnt find it in the settings...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
I got it in cyanogenmod 9 at System » Status Bar » Control Brightness.

I translated it from my languaged rom to English, so these might not be the exact words, sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilspawnas:
I found it..it was under system-statusbar-brightness....but it doesnt matter if it is on or of... if i swipe from left to right or from right to left nothing happens..maybe its a bug of cm10...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sociallymellow:
Fix:

You need to hold the middle of the status bar, (not dragging it down) and you will notice a change in brightness after about 2 seconds. Then swipe to change the brightness via this method. I find this helpful so everytime you pull down the bar it does not change the brightness, however it is not the most convenient having to hold the bar down first. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

quick question - I'm currently running real ICS 5.2, want to upgrade to 6 - can I just boot into CWM and install the rom following the installation instructions or do I have to flash it back to stock rom first?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] unforgiven1311:
While you can boot and use the rom without wiping, some users found that a couple bugs appeared, and then after a factory reset they got it working. So I guess it won't hurt to try, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
Updating from what to pacman? If it's another rom you need to do full wipe and format /system
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tux-root:
No, just updating from pacman alpha 11 r2 to alpha 12. I think I will try later on after doing a backup and then see if everything works well.

Hi,

I want to write an app which can synchronize data (of the app) stored on an Android phone to a web server. Could anyone point me a book/forum/website which tells us about this type of implementation? As far as I know, I found

openmobster (i can not post a link yet)

(but I haven't tried it yet)

and some description about gsync.

Thanks!
[Android] 2012katas:

then you'll need to have django installed to do this, and google app engine installed. Launch the webapp from google appengine and then point your browser to the url show in the appengine applicaiton.

Hi there,

I recently found that my chinese handwriting keyboard is grayed up and I can't load the keyboard to do handwritings....

Are there anyway to fix it?

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzakoh:
It is actually still available even if you can't click the box - I have the same problem.

When you are in a typing area, pull down the notification bar and select the icon for "Select input method"

You should be able to still choose DioPen Chinese IME

It seems to default to an English keyboard, but don't worry - select the gear icon which is on the lowest line of the keyboard - second key from left.

Switch to handwriting box.

Then on the bar the comes up - select the "Ab" button - the button next to the space bar.

Choose "all" or "stroke"

Voila! You should now be able to write in Chinese again. Unfortunately, mine only does simplified... Sigh!

But you can use apps mentioned before, however all will only record from Mic and not from line.. resulting in low income voice..

For the same reason that whenever you buy a external HDD or a SD Card its never the full amount you expected. Manufacturers use different scale to count a MB and GB then 99% of desktop/mobile OS's do.

[General Questions and Answers] manmo71:
Hello Everyone -

I am pretty new to the XDA forums. I already did some queries but did not find a satisfactory answer to my searches and hence the post.

What do you think is the best kernel to go with SWEET ROM V3. I am happy with this ROM to a great extent as far as performance is concerned. But I find my device (GT-N700) heating up a lot when I play games.

Would the SpeedMod-K3-13 be a good alternative to the kernel provided with SWEET ROM V3?

Please throw in your feedback on this.
