[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lumpaywk:
The bitterness is only set to grow as MS has just named google in its case against Motorola. Google is running out of friends as they leave there oems open to attack and steal tech without the ability to defend there moves. Google is a vile company Android is a great OS its my second love to WP like a second child but Google over all makes companies like Fox, BP, British Gas etc look like saints
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenzibit:
Thanks for the correction mf2112.

Come to think of it, if this a fairly standard industry practice and Company giants all doing whatever (Gorilla warfare) to each other whenever possible, why is Microsoft always kind and releasing apps for them whilst they have never released anything for WP since it came out 2 years ago? Microsoft even planning on releasing Office for Android and iOS in 2013. Is Microsoft afraid? or trying to be a Mother? I understand when it comes to the market size and all about Benjamins, but it should be tit for tat. Microsoft should stop offering them good services if they are not doing same for us.....maybe I'm missing something and you can make me understand.

One will say WP market size is soo tiny that Google refuses to release anything for them...some sort of market demand should be in play...BUT, if you are a big company like Google and really want your services to be popular and widespread (Google+ challenging Facebook), will you think about Market share of a competitor before releasing an app for it? Does Facebook think about market share of a mobile OS before releasing it's app? They just release it no matter what because they want it to be used and popular...more benjamins :)

Google should just understand that, not all consumers will love their mobile OS but at least one consumer will use at least one of their services. (I for one use Google scholar, Gogle+, Google Drive as a backup to my Skydrive and Google maps A LOT) Why shouldn't I have an app for any of these Google services? Because my beloved WP OS is a competitor with a tiny market share and there's no demand? Why should Google punish me if I'm not using Android OS? and why should they force me to use it? SMH
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikef:
Well, having worked at Microsoft twice and for Microsoft partner companies previously and currently, I would hesitate at describing Microsoft's business practices as "kind". :)

It is not that Google doesn't want to offer services to Windows Phone users, it is that they want to do so on their terms. Microsoft would prefer to dictate the terms in such an engagement. Apple dictates the terms for iOS devs and how the apps get distributed in the app store. Oracle tries to control their environment. All companies do this as much as they can, so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Google also has a limited number of developers available to spend on projects and they want those developers to spend their time on the things that are going to be most beneficial (profitable) to Google in the end. All companies have business strategies and different behaviors but in general the profit motive is the driving factor. This is true for Microsoft as well.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Many people use Google's services. It actually is a pretty big thing for many people to at least have them available and by not having them available for WP they can in fact impact the growth of the Windows Phone platform (YouTube being a great example there). So unless Microsoft gains enough Marketshare to make it problematic for Google to leave them out I guess this situation will continue.

Concerning how Microsoft deals with Android and iOS the situation is different. Those two OSes basically own the market. Unless Microsoft wants those users to go with alternative Software they have to have there core applications available there. This means that Bing, SkyDrive, Xbox Live and Office have to be available there. For other Apps they go with the iPhone partly because it was not yet viable to do on the Windows Phone platform (e.g. PhotoSynth) but you will notice that Android is quite often left out or only done quite some time later.

I actually don't see the benefit of hosting those events on days when Microsoft is releasing Windows Phones. The Lumias arguably had more publicity then the lackluster Razr series that left journalists rather disappointed. Also the new Nexus 4 seems to bring little new stuff to the table. If they were to launch a really new version of Android like during I/O or if Apple launched the iPad mini on the same day they actually might hurt Microsoft but with stuff like this they rather risk being second page news themselves.

But we will see what they are bringing to the table this time around.

The Galaxy Nexus was unveiled by Google on October 19, 2011.

So ,I think this year just the same.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlCKB0Y:
They've tried to point out before that Bing is ripping off Google search results and they have some very compelling evidence that this is the case:

http://searchengineland.com/google-bing-is-cheating-copying-our-search-results-62914

http://googleblog.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/microsofts-bing-uses-google-search.html

I thought this was pretty much accepted as common knowledge now... unless you have another explanation as to how Bing returned the same results as Google after the Google experiment?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
As if google doesn't use all kind of software to see what you are looking for on the web with other search engines.

It is just that they never did something against any other engine because Bing is the only real threat.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenzibit:
I agree

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
That's a diffferent tangent from what youj quoted. Using other engines search results is weak. Seeing what other engines come up with is smart.

Since you said bing is a threat, how is that so ?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Aside from that the Bing Bar looks at all Search-Input fields and reports what search parameters made people end up at certain sites. Therefore if you enter "HTC Titan" in the Search-Box of the XDA-Developers Forum Bing will take that one up too and report back which topic of the presented list you then chose (given that if you search for something and then select a certain result it is highly likely that you thought it was relevant in the context of your search).

It is one of many signals Bing relies on in it's rankings. But given that the search term only appeared in the tests of Google's team it was the only hint available for the search. This still is not copying of Google's search results at large.

The search engine discussion is somewhat offtopic here - don't you think?

Trying to find suitable rom and kernel for my lww , it has to be speed , low memory usage, good battery and bug less ...

i was searching for it on forum and found 3-4 solutions ..--- > (ExMIUIv4-2929 , RealICS_r6 , HASA v5 and Hasa MUIU 2.10.12)...

(didnt even look for kernel yet couse i didnt chose rom...)

Please can you share your opinions with me?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] havocgb:
If you like Xperia NXT styled UI then I would suggest JellySandwich 6.2.1 + panic kernal

If u like the pure android UI (Nexus style) then go for CM 9.1

I have used both. Speed wise (I mean the speed that you actually feel while u are using the phone and not the numbers suggested by benchmarks) I would say JellySandwich is better and more stable. But there are certain handy features in CM which arent there in JellySandwich like changing screen brightness by sliding finger over statusbar, long press volume buttons to seek tracks,better pop up window to adjust system sounds and loads more. Anyways I'm sticking to JellySandwich for now (And I love the Xperia UI)

Woke up this Morning to find an update for the broken reinstaller app. Now reinstaller broke due to Microsoft changes to the windowsphone.com. Was glad I got the update but after logging in the app just crashed and quit when I got to the app count. This happened again even after reinstallation. Now if the developer is here, can you please address this issue?

Thanks for your app and support.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyshs:
Seems its gone for good

I'm the developer for Reinstaller and I have been trying to get it work again for so many days now.

The new design doesn't look like can be scrapped anymore. This effectively means Reinstaller is dead.

I will give a few more tries before giving up - if you or anyone else have any ideas to get me back on track - please chime in.
