BB10 will be Rims saving grace. If it flops, they will die. There is no doubt about that.

And the only way BB10 will be a successful OS is if they have enough developers to support them. Without the developers they will have a useless phone.

I personally own a Playbook, and the QNX operating system is by far the fastest when it comes to web browsing. If you look up sunspider results you will see what I mean. The playbook is even running on outdated hardware. Throw a S4 Pro, paired with 2Gb of ram and it will be the fastest tablet to date.

Multimedia is fantastic on it too. I'm able to watch a 1080p video, stream it to my big screen via HDMI cable flawlessly. It doesn't even have to turn the tablet screen off. The software is that efficient.

The only downfall is the extreme lack of apps. If some developers back BB10, it will be successful. And I will dive in for sure

I should have prefaced my post by saying that I have owned the Blackberry Pearl, the Bold 9930, the Playbook, Lumia 900, iPhone 4 and 4s...I have experienced all the big mobile OS's, so I'm not just an Android fanboy that has no real world experience using other software platforms. Like I said, I really want to fall in love with another platform just because I feel I have gotten everything I could possibly get out of Android, but it just never works out that way. I always end up back with Android wondering when someone will make an OS even close to it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
It's all about personal preference and personal bias....and what your actually comparing.

The vast majority of smart phone users don't fully understand their own device...let alone the other available ones...but if your talking specifics of what the bulk of smart phones can do in stock form..then you really need to discuss specifics...not just in general terms.

While some phones are more capable doing certain things...others can do the same...well enough..that many folks don't even bother researching all the models. Instead..the rely on peer reviews and what is "trending" to make their choices,or what their favorite celebrity pimps on TV...

Android does has something all others do not...and that is the absolute frigging humongous dedicated group of individuals who choose to share what they have made which in-turn can make our phones do the things we here want them to do without charge... Without this dedicated group of people...Android would be no different than all the rest...

Some may disagree...but... the numbers of developers for Android that do this just for the love of doing it...far exceed any other platform...and that is why Android is King of the hill...regardless of what new OS Windows, Rim or Apple decides to bash their future on. The others are hoping their dedicated cult will excite all to switch to their latest & greatest..and all plan more media blitzes to sway the masses to grab that ever dwindling % of market share...which will work for a little while ..but..only Android is open source...which allows as much customization as easily as it does...for now.

Like I said...it is about personal preferences and personal biases...and what & how that individual chooses a smart phone...

[Streak 5 General] niallmoran:
hi guys - i foolishly lent my streak to my sister for a while as she had broken her iphone and after a couple of weeks she called me up to say that it wasn't charging and was dead. I figured she'd just done something daft and it would be an easy fix but i got it back today and she's managed to pretty much destroy the pdmi connector (as well as break the rear door catch!) . Phone still works fine as i charged up the battery on the dock and fired it up.

So, is it possible to change the connector or is it soldered to the motherboard? If it's soldered i'm guessing it's a pretty specialist job to get it replaced? Or alternatively, is anybody interested in it for spares? It's in perfect condition as it's always had an invisible shield on it (just removed as it was getting a bit scabby) apart from the connector and rear panel catch....if there is any interest i can pop a thread on the marketplace.

Cheers

Niall
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's soldered. There may be companies which can replace the connector, but I'm not aware of them. You may want to look into replacing the motherboard by purchasing a Streak with a broken screen.
[Streak 5 General] niallmoran:
aye, that's what i thought...i've ordered up a connector as it looks like it's the plastic bit that disappeared so maybe be able to refit that from a new one? If not i'll maybe see if a phone repair shop will solder the new one on. Or has anybody got a smashed streak lookin for a new home??

[About Phone]

The phone is a bit weak on hardware issues, but still very good for me. And whenever a user buy a device, he want more things to do, more updates, etc. In we/my case, we want updates or custom OS, experienced people who have PSP or PS3 will understand what im saying. But my machine is one of those old (little used) and unhackable, as I saw it.

is it possible to install cyanogenmod on my huawei Y100...
[General Questions and Answers] maximik1980:
having shortcut to control wifi , bluetooth etc.

You just need to go to \data and look what you have in "custom.bin" (for ex. u have there «vip/en» . Then you have to go to \cust and you have to rename the folder you see there to «vip», and the folder within it in «en». After that you have to make «Factory reset». That might help with the status bar...

Phone not able to boot any more

Your post was indeed helpful and I followed through well until the final stage after installing the (ROM) from zip file.

after that I did not choose install from android, I only forced it off and now I cant even boot back into the phone neither the power and Volume down key works.

What can I do rerun or have the phone boot back to normal?

I am completely shut out

Thanks for you help
[General Questions and Answers] maximik1980:
Back to stock / working ROM

If

nothing helps

(including restoring from a backup) and you can't load custom ROM and/or custom recovery, u can do the following steps:

1) Turn off your phone, eject your SD card from your phone

2) Download a stock ROM from Huawei Device site (just google it...)

3) Find the way to put this unziped ROM (UPDATE.APP or something like this) to your SD card. You need to create the folder "dload" on your SD and put the file *.app right there

4) Then insert your SD card into your phone

5) Press BOTH volume control keys ("+" and "-"), hold them and press POWER button

6) You'll see on your screen something like "Unpacking ROM.." and "Installing ROM".

7) Then your phone will reboot and u'll have a "virgin" stock Android 2.3.6 from Huawei

BE CAREFUL!!! Cause installing a stock ROM will kill any custom data in your phone. But nothing happens with SD card, don't be afraid... :cool:

Try to pull out the battery, then plug the USB-cable and push the power button. The device has to turn on. Maybe something wrong with your battery.

Fastboot Drivers (needed for windows):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1996051

Notice:

This is an at your own risk kind of thing, if your phone becomes damaged or data lost, your

fault not mine. This does install a unsecured (ro.secure=0) boot image in the process, this

does potentially open your device to security risks (as do most customized firmwares.)

Story:

The Docomo Optimus G ships with a mandatory access control system, that prevents

remounting system, reading boot, executing some things as root, etc general pain in the butt.

We are using a backdoor found by giantpune (and later by Juggie). The backdoor is partially

broken on this device due to the MAC, so it does not yield a root shell for us. However we

can still use it with a couple extra steps to unlock the bootloader\s. We are also going to

install a modified boot img, that removes some of the phone's security features, and allows

us to actually have root access.

Notes:

Graphic glitches will occur while in the bootloader, you will have to use the bootloader 'blind'

Follow directions exactly.

Directions:

adb push lk.img /data/local/tmp/lk.img

adb push unlock.sh /data/local/tmp/unlock.sh

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/unlock.sh

adb shell touch /sdcard/g_security

Disable USB Debugging, then enable usb debugging

adb shell id

Should recieve an error about not executing /system/bin/sh, this is what we want. If you

don't have the error, start over.

adb push hotplug /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug

Now toggle bluetooth once, and wait for your phone to display a garbaled screen (the bootloader).

If it displays a blank screen instead of a garbled screen, pull battery, reboot and run 'adb reboot bootloader'

fastboot devices

If you see your device listed, continue. If not then find the proper drivers, and then

continue.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
adb shell /sbin/rootme.sh

If your phone does not reconnect to your mobile network, try rebooting it serveral times.

If it does not still, then reflash stock firmware.

We are using supersu, and the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

is needed.

[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
so looks like I am one of the first to confirm JCASE and his friends Rooting Procedure... ITS WORKING!!!!!

but please be informed that since I had problems installing fastboot on windows... i used my Fedora to be safe... but I believe once you are sure with your fastboot drivers..then you too will not have any problems

I know I may look redundant..but I want to share what I did so that some people can follow because I myself had some issues...

so here goes.

* my system was fedora 18 32bit

1. I searched for android on the fedora package manager

- Android Platform Tools (adb,fastboot)

2. Downloaded the files as per sir JCASE

3. on terminal, I followed this Commands

adb push lk.img /data/local/tmp/lk.img

adb push unlock.sh /data/local/tmp/unlock.sh

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/unlock.sh

adb shell touch /sdcard/g_security

4. Was kinda nervous about Disabling and Re-enabling USB DEBUGGING,

so what I did is that I disconnected and reconnected my phone :)

5. verified if my device is still seen by adb via this command

adb devices

6. once verified, then do this command

adb shell id

7. and I smiled when I had the error

---not executing /system/bin/sh

8. next was this command

adb push hotplug /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug

9. Then I just Clicked the BLUETOOTH ICON in the STATUS BAR and then I did had the Screen Issue (and yup it is normal)

10. CHecked if my device is connected via fastboot by this command

fastboot devices

11. Once my Device was seen, i followed these commands

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

12. after few seconds of reboot..I did this command

adb shell /sbin/rootme.sh

13. Then there was the note to install SuperSU

14. After installation, I had some issues with network..so i restarted 2x

15. And now I have Root, I just installed Cache Mate just to make sure and it worked

Sorry Sir Jcase for being redundant

anyway, this will not happen without the help of sir JCASW..so in behalf of all the L-01E Users, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

maybe this week..i will treat you with some coffee or beer.. hahahaha.. CHEERS!!!

***PLEASE TAKE NOTE THE COMMANDS from sir JCASE.. maybe due to my excitement, maybe i had some mixed up with the commands..

again sir JCASE..thank you so much!!!
