[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
I've read some news about google ditching support for WP. Now last news I've found on google were from beginning of January, and there was nothing that answered my questions.

Coming from Android, google integration is something I take for granted (gmail, contacts, calendar, tasks... you name it)

I'm asking you, WP8 users:

- What's the situation with gmail? How can you check gmail?

- Are there notifications, or do you need to 'refresh' manually?

- Are notifications on time (push) or are they checked periodically?

- Can you sync WP calendar with google calendar?

- is there anyone who knows exactly how google sync works on Android and WP, and write down differences?

I'm looking at HTC 8S and desire x for my partner but I know nothing about WP whatsoever (except that it's pretty, very much locked and closed, and some news about google removing support). I know there's no native gmail app.

I've tried searching the forums, but search has been 'temporarily down' for quite some time now.

Thanks!

ps: I know there's a thread that compares mentioned phones exactly, I've read it. I'm just curious about google sync.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieBallz:
Google anounced that they would cut support for new connections using Exchange ActiveSync at the end of January. Devices set up to sync with GMail before then will continue to work like before. In Mid-January that date got pushed back to July. So until July you can setup ActiveSync and keep using it after that.

It is likely that Microsoft will issue an update for WP8 before then enabling CalDAV and CardDAV-support although there are no guarantees. We also don't know wether they will add IMAP-idle to allow for GMail-Push-Mail or if you will be limited to mail checking in set intervals (this is currently already possible as an alternative to Exchange ActiveSync).

We'll have to wait how that plays out but for now nothing has changed yet.

As for your other question: Contacts, Calendars and Mails sync - Tasks to my knowledge don't.

i have a sprint samsung galaxy s3 with the latest monthly snapshop of 10.1. i have noticed after i rooted to 10.1 from stock my signal strength to carrier and wifi strength have decreased. my old ipod touch gets a better wifi signal then the s3 with this mod. places in my house were i used to get full bars i now get 1 bar. my class rooms at school where i used to get full bars i barely get any wifi signal or regular signal. any advice?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
I have heard and seen that Samsung adds about 20dbm or whatever it is called, that CM shows your true signal.

Your signal is the same. The display is different. Aosp has a truer reading than TW thus looking like a lower reading.

Its a known fact that manufacturers do this...you can confirm if the actual signal has changed by doing a couple speed tests, but you'll find it hasn't

I have to disagree. On aosp I got no signal at work, when with touch wiz I get three bars

The display has nothing to do with true signal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] respectagain:
I get demonstrably worse signal in the exact same spot in my apartment. My signal ranges from -85ish dBm to -105dBm on touchwiz, whereas I am seeing an average of -115 dBm on Cyanogenmod 10.1. I frequently have absolutely no voice signal whatsoever on Cyanogenmod in my apartment.

Though I think the main problem is still Sprint's network. I should have great signal where I am according to their maps and the tower proximity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
That was exactly what we were saying. Touchwiz adds about 20dBm to the display.

Sent From My Rooted, S-OFF'd Blackberry Curve using the iOS XDA Application for Android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] respectagain:
Touchwiz adds 20 dBm that actually makes a difference? I can't make or receive phone calls on CM10.1 probably 66% of the time. I can't make or receive calls maybe 5-10% of the time on touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] acrossthesnow:
It is not the display

It has something to do with the fact that Cyanogenmod uses open-source RIL's. Sprint recently pushed out a OTA for touchwiz which updated the RIL so that their phones could interact with their "new" 4G LTE towers, but the Cyanogenmod team doesn't have access to that RIL, so they are using an older one.

Now how to fix this issue I do not know, and would very much appreciate some help. I realize that TouchWiz does add 20dBm to the display but when I am getting full bars and LTE on TouchWiz, and getting one bar with LTE using Cyanogenmod then there is a serious issue.

There has to be some way to update a RIL manually, and if so where to get the latest Sprint RIL.

That's usually because you need to update your Prl and profile prior to going to an aosp rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Meaning that all aosp roms are put together on leaks from other devices. There is no true aosp rom available yet for US variant s3. So this is what happens when files are picked from here, there, and everywhere and pieced together to make something work. The radio files especially for cdma devices becomes a nightmare. TW 4.1.2 is the best available for Sprint SGS3 at the moment, you won't have issues with data signal, cell signal or problems sending and receiving sms/MMS.

There is no true source for sph-L710 for aosp.

Hi, all!

I have created this flashable ZIP with stock Endeavoru modules for those who want to change kernel from custom to stock without reflashing whole ROM. Very simple, but useful. :cowboy:

Works on every ROM which uses stock kernel (example: ARHD, OrDroid, JB REMIX, etc.).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
Hi,

a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).

He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).

I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.

I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.

I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.

If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.

How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_1:
nobody??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukyjay:
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.

Today's update to CyanogenMod said it introduced FM Radio support. I have downloaded Spirit FM Free and I can not get it to work. Nothing plays, and it says the signal is 0. Yes, I have headphones with a long wire plugged in for the antenna.

Is this impossible with the SCH-i605? Do I need to change settings? I have brushed the surface with a few of the more obvious settings, but none have worked thus far.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I've been trying to find a decent solution to stream music to my non bluetooth enabled car stereo while at the same time charging and providing a holder for my phone.

So far, I've found this which looks exactly like what I'm looking for:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FM-Transmit...-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-II-N7100-/170935978676

However, I don't trust ebay that much.

Does anybody have any experience with this product or something similar?

Any recommendations out there?

Thanks in advace
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
While I would not recommend any fm devices, I suppose http://www.newpotatotech.com/TUNELINK_ANDROID/tunelink_android.html Is probably the best one out there.

Are you aware that Sony, Pioneer, and JVC make a variety of head units that support aux input, bluetooth, and even usb inputs for under a hundred bucks?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rsm86:
Thanks for the recommendation.

My car's radio slot is not standard sized though, so that severely limits my ability to simple switch my radio to a more feature rich one. Unless I misunderstood what you meant by the head units. I'm driving a Skoda, I've also found some Chinese no-brand stock-sized replacement radios, but they're almost $400 and look shady enough.

The new potato link you posted is definitely interesting, but above my budget for this, I was looking at spending a total of $60 tops, including the mount.

Will definitely keep it in mind. Maybe a cheap mount plus the new potato suggestion would be ideal.

Any other recommendations out there?

Thanks

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I received mine today. Here are my observations so far:

It feels very nicely built. Glossy white with chrome around the edge. The mat itself has a rubbery texture. It doesn't slide at all.

It works with the phone in any orientation. Which is nice because the power jack is on the bottom

It seems to be charging rather quickly. From 50% to 65% in 30 minutes.

My phone is staying cool so far. 30 degrees C

It doesn't make any noise at all.

This is all with the OEM bumper on.

I'll update once my phone chargers completely.

Update: Fully charged from 50%-100% in 1:45.

I never saw the temp go above 33C.

This thing works great. I've decided I'm going to hang on to this one for my office.

I would recommend buying this.
