Sinofsky is toast. Now you know how well the Win8 and Surface RT launches went.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/12/windows-chief-sinofsky-leaving-microsoft/

It would be nice if Ballmer joins him, but I suppose it's too much to ask the boss to fire himself. Hopefully the board will do its job.
[Windows 8 General] ohgood:
the launch was soft and snoring. I think the real reason is what balmer stated the other day, "modest sales".
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
The guy was an idiot, he had the right ideas but like many things that happen in MS, didn't go about it in the right way, lesson to replacement, you are building an integrated OS across many platforms with the intention of keeping the experience similar across them all, yes? then you REALLY need to talk to one another to make sure it all works together

As for Balmer.... remember I was saying about negative PR momentum? well if someone would sack his sorry arse we'd see MSs shares jump up 10% ;) im sure.

Steve Jobs was also an idiot, BUT at least he became a household name for all the right reasons, Balmer as far as I can tell hasn't done anything and I bet outside of the Geekdom no one knows or cares who he is

plus Balmer probably saw him as a threat to some extent
[Windows 8 General] junialum:
Sinofsky's departure is nothing to do with sales. No one judges sales in 3 weeks especially in Windows. Previous versions of Windows sold slower than Windows 8. RT is a new product as well.

Sinofsky was removed because his work with Windows 8 / Surface RT is complete. The team now works on Windows 9 / next versions of Surface and they don't want his influence any more.

This is not to say that Win 8 / Surface sales are great. We don't know but we do know one thing - judging sales of a typically slow moving product within 3 weeks and sacking a top man over this is stupid. Politics and infighting are the more likely factors by a mile. Moment Sinofsky's project is done he was shown the door / resigned.
[Windows 8 General] ohgood:
wicked smart, been there for decades, and one scuffle with balmer puts him on the street? maybe its decades of scuffles.

wonder me this, if the surface hadn't locked up and crashed during presentation, and was actually selling like iPads, would he be praised or canned?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] boodies:
It will charge your Note 2 about 4 times. That's like 5 days or a week of moderate use without going to the wall charger. I might purchase one before the next camping trip.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Arch@ngel:
Is MSM8960 embedded LTE modem? What Frequency?

And some MSM8960 devices supported LTE 1800 & 2600.

Can we ENABLE LTE 1800 & 2600 or other on Photon Q
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zodiac12345:
No, The Photon Q only supports LTE on the PCS G Block (~1950 MHz). LTE 2600 is owned by Clearwire, which hasn't yet deployed any LTE on the spectrum. LTE 1800 will not be deployed in the US, as far as I understand. GSM/UMTS capabilities will be available on those frequencies, but not LTE ones.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Arch@ngel:
But MSM8960 embedded 5-band LTE Modem, or not?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] genaro12543:
Definitely better than many galaxy nexus I'm on eco mode as well I'm getting about three hours of on screen time per charge. With it being this fast,I'm not complaining.

For what its worth of you look at the battery stats it looks like android os is killing alot of battery which is an ice cream sandwich bug. Dont know if it actually does kill as much as it states but. it could indicate something isnt allowing the phone to sleep properly. Hoping an os update will squeeze some more juicr outta this thing also hopng itll kill the overheating issue but well see

[Sprint LG Optimus G] mistermidas:
Sup people, Im Brian D, just got this phone Wednesday. Came from a HTC Evo4G that was way overdue for upgrade. I absolutely love this phone so far. As stated, the only thing that's not excellent, is the camera, which is decent...but far from awesome.

As far as speed, the phone seems like it knows what I'm gonna do before I even do it...it's so fast it's just crazy. I rooted on the first day, tweeked it a lil bit and did a quadrant test just out of curiosity and got this 7736...mind BLOWN! That is unreal, especially when the max I ever got outta my Evo was around 1200.

Also, my battery life has been excellent so far. Don't know what some of you guys are having issues with. On Eco-mode, and with moderate use aka not TRYING to burn my battery, here is where I am now...with battery left to spare. Overall, I'm loving this phone. It was between the Samsung GS3 and this phone for my upgrade and went with this because of future potential. I'm sure the bootloader will be unlocked soon...too many smart people out there are already trying to make it happen. And once it is unlocked...imagine the possibilities with this monsterous piece of hardware!! :eek:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Hey guys,

I am on the Sprint Employee plan (the wireless advantage club) and I want to get this phone and have an upgrade but it won't let me purchase. They say my account isn't allowed to get it yet. But I see that you guys are actual employees and have it. Did you buy it unlocked or something? Thanks.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
I'm Tony from Ohio. I've been a lurker here for a few years now. This is only my second Android smartphone and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see the bootloader unlocked and a big thanks to everyone working towards it!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kchitown1977:
To the sprint employees. Maybe yall can answer. Is sprint blocking Google wallet or is wallet not going to be compatible with LGOG
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ks2332:
Were in the dark as much as you unfortunately:(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BigRitz:
To be honest that means somebody on your plan has an outstanding balance or balance that needs to be paid, I had prob 10 people at one point and no one paid there bills on time , some people didn't understand how the program worked and way over spent it was just a nightmare, so now its me and the wife that's it. I got mine through my outside account and then swapped it on to my line NP as I wasn't able to upgrade but it says it is available through swac accounts. Did the person that your under order it for you or send you the swac link to shop or are you just trying to upgrade on sprint.com ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Hm, well I do have an outstanding balance for my monthly bill due on the 27th that I was going to pay this weekend. I found out today that the Employee I'm under has to order it for me so he's going to check soon. I have an upgrade, so if I pay my bill will he be able to order it for me? Some people say employees can't get it yet.

My whole story: Ordered HTC Evo 4G LTE on Nov 2. Got it a week after (hit by Sandy :/). Sense is slow and buggy and I love the hardware, hating the software. But since I still was in 14 days and I really really wanted this phone, decided to cancel. Waiting for my return kit for this phone but I need a phone to hold me over when that comes since no one would let me order the Optimus G. So basically, I have the EVO now, and I'm waiting till the G is available. I'll be returning this EVO by Thanksgiving so I really wanted the G by then. If not, I may be phoneless for a couple days since I have no previous Sprint phone as this is my first time with them. Ah well.

I appreciate the insight.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BigRitz:
Yea even tho its a lil cheaper advantage lines become a pain in the butt , its easier and almost as cheap to just send friends a link to the referral program
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
What's the difference? Just that you can upgrade when the phones come out?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] djsamthrax:
My name is Sam and I'm from another Sprint fixture. Got the phone a few days ago. Already rooted and ready to be unlocked....(listens for pin drop ;)

This phone is crazy powerful and I'm excited to see where it goes with Sprint and their new LTE network.

I'm still missing my Galaxy Nexus and the flexibility of that rooting community but I'm confident that we will push this phone's potential.

To those superusers... what have you done to modify the performance aspects of the phone?

[General Questions and Answers] Scott24:
I get this on my home screen after I went from Hellfire or CM 10 back to ICS. I've never seen it before and I switch or upgrade my ROM on a daily basis.My next move is to use XquiziT's Superwiperand Start from scratch. Unless anyone else has seen this and know what the heck it is.
[General Questions and Answers] jb_wisemo:
Looks like an engineering/debug message just telling you what the device is and how it seems to be doing.

Either someone left it on in the ROM they released, or the ROM startup code thinks it is in a super-geek mode because of the downgrade.

If you can use the phone alright, then don't worry. If it annoys you, it can probably be turned off in one of the ultra-advanced menus under settings, spare parts or on the "test" menu that can be invoked by dialing a star code (sorry, forgot which one that is).
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
can i restore CWM backups from TWRP and vice versa??

if i want to get my cid, is it necessary i download cid getter or only the command-"fastboot getvar cid" is sufficient??
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
No. Both use different format.

Not necessary when you are comfortable with fastboot command.

fastboot getvar cid is better.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
soundhound,teeter,twitter.-cant these and other system apps be restored in another rom if backed from other rom???
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
A nand backup can be use for other device if they share a same CID.

So depends on what purpose. If the CID is same and those apps are needed to make the OTA work, then yes.

If those are needed just to make it runs, you can take from any other backup. This is the basis of a custom rom. But not all system apps can be use. Only the user apps that reside in system.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
i have backed up the 3 system apps mentioned above using TB from stock rom. when i restore them, it says restoring but it stays there forever...i have to FC TB....

also, once i installed a rom,went to advanced in CWM 6.0.1.2 and selected a previous backup of other rom and selected restore data. restore data was complete...then i rebooted....bam!!!my phone's screen looked like a kaleidoscope!!!!!why did this happen???
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
I never use TB so do not know how it work. What I will do is copy that 3 system apks and its odex files, and manually put them in current stock ROM and put the right permission. Or make a flashable zip for those files and flash it in recovery.

Restoring data from other ROM is not a good idea. It will not only restore user apps but also all other data such as property & etc which usually will not work in other ROM as these ROMs may have different kind of data.

[HTC One V] ckpv5:
Yes... it will upgrade your hboot to 1.17 and radio too.
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
....i have a backup of stock rooted rom with a kernel,something like- root PREEMPT-is this the stock kernel???? if i have the backup of stock rooted rom with this kernel, then should i do the RUU procedure?? if the function of RUU is to give the stock rom and kernel, which i already have through a stock rom backup, should i apply the RUU??

what i mean basically is-

what is the function of these RUUs???are these only for those who have forgot to make a backup of their stock rom after rooting and want to go back to stock but dont have a stock rom backup???
[HTC One V] mihirengg19:
if i have a stock rooted rom backup,the stock recovery and stock kernel,then is there a need of RUU for reverting to stock???

[Windows 8 General] Zanith:
I've been having the problem where windows 8 kept deactivating itself and for the life of me couldn't figure out why, it happened shortly after the launch, but it would randomly fix itself whilst I was away from my computer. By deactivating itself, I mean windows required activation again, even after I have activated it. I figured I'd wait and see if anybody else had this problem as it didn't really stop me from doing anything, just informed me I wasn't activated. Today, I looked again for a solution, I came upon this thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-message/c2b9eb1f-e57e-47c6-9960-72342b798b2a which suggested that another person was having the exact same error and error code as me, a Galaxy Nexus was the culprit. So, after a short time of trying again and again with the same error message, I unplug my phone and straight away problem solved it activated. So I decide to plug my phone back in and unlock my phone. Surprise surprise, my computer was not activated, and refused to activate. Unplugged phone, again, instant activation. I tried again with USB debugging disabled. Same problem, with an instant fix of uplugging my phone. I really don't get why nobody else would of noticed a problem like this if it was android phones in general, but with my phone doing it, and a nexus.

Does anybody know how I could solve this, what the problem is?
[Windows 8 General] thelossa:
Wow this happens to me all the time!

And I just now figured out why it does... after I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 8 three times.

I do magically have a new folder called Verizon android or something like that with a log file only inside of it, that does have several errors listed.

Heh, I did want to upgrade to a 32gb model, but was planning on selling this one first. Ug. Thanks man!

Maybe I'll try to part this one out and sell the parts. Though being so new, I doubt any will sell. Most are under warranty unless they are dropped and I think the screen/digitizer is the part that breaks the most.
