[Java for Android App Development] Isaac Lean:
Hi, just wanted to get your opinions of developing apps with the native Android SDK versus PhoneGap/Cordova.

I have coded an app using the Android SDK before, but I found the SDK to be a bit difficult to work with even though it is very powerful. I haven't tried making an app in PhoneGap/Cordova yet, but I'm a very experienced web developer so developing an app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript sounds very enticing to me. Still I don't know the actual details to making an app with PhoneGap/Cordova though since I've yet to try it.

Besides the benefit of PhoneGap/Cordova being cross-platform, what are your thoughts on each one and which one do you prefer and why?
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
My personal opinion is that any web app thats on play/app stores should have to have some logo or something to say thats what they are. From a user point there is no comparison really, like comparing a chrome/web app on PC to a native win/linux app, they don't really compare and I personally as a user have yet to see web apps impress. However having said that there is always variance to any argument, I think here it depends on context. So for my app Smart Messenger, there is zero chance as a web app, or if it were possible the experience would be way too bad for the user. However consider a simple listings app that just has a few screens, maybe not as bad. Dont get me wrong, still think web apps should come with a sticker so the user knows not to download, but the experience would fall a shorter distance to native based on complexity/context.

Just my thoughts
[Java for Android App Development] surlac:
It depends on the requirements of the app: if you need to build functionally simple app quickly and spread it across the platforms, then it's better to use hybrid/web app. If you need sophisticated functionality (e.g. games), which has to heavily utilize mobile device's facilities (hardware/software) then the best bet would be to use Android SDK.
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
erm not just games, any app that you want fluid and responsive that can't be just a html/php site through a browser .... btw I speak from a user point here, not just a dev. I have yet to find a web app that I would even consider keeping on the phone/tablet... I prefer to use a browser to access the info, not some fakey thing.
[Java for Android App Development] rootRootRoute:
Performance is a big factor. If it's a simple app you may sure as well go with Phonegap etc. but for an advanced, more complex app native is always the best options as it will provide much better performance than a Phonegap app.
[Java for Android App Development] NobleDroid:
I strongly agree here... Ive used both and Phonegap lacks alot in Performance on Android (not on iOS).

If you want a a cross platform frameworks consider Xamarin (C#)

[Java for Android App Development] khashayarp:
I'm using phonegap for my app it works great on android too.

Try using the ionic framework, it is a game changer.
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
As both a developer and user I have yet to see a web app that I would even consider leaving on my phone once I obviously see it's just a local website :) I have often asked for examples of really good web apps and never seen a single one...

Would it be possible to check out yours ?

[Web App Development] Isaac Lean:
So I know that PhoneGap is built off of Cordova, but besides that, why would I use one or the other?
[Web App Development] Archer:
I think the idea is that Adobe will be eventually releasing their own plugin repository which will make the two packages very different, but at the moment they're the same thing. The only advantage I know of with Phonegap is that you can use the online builder so you can (with a bit of effort) work completely online without requiring a local IDE and the SDKs. It's not ideal though.
[Web App Development] Angelkom:
In the future Adobe will release some software that will help Phonegap Development but this software won't be compatible with Cordova, as with the Phonegap Cloud Service where you can build compile apps made with the Phonegap Framework, apps made using the Cordova Framework are incompatible...
[Web App Development] khashayarp:
But the online build services work with cordova as well. It works even without including the phonegap.js rather than cordova.js
[Web App Development] Angelkom:
It works because the cordova.js is replaced with phonegap.js, but in the future it won't work... :)

Also tried pulling the .apk from my Galaxy Nexus phone and installing them, GMAIL, Google Contacts both worked and sync OK, but Google Play and everything else does not (installs, but the never connects ... even on VPN [I am in China, behind the Great Firewall]).

After all that I have done the phone will now no longer get updates "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." I also have to now deal with the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped - OK" dialogue popping up every 10 - 30 seconds!!!

I have done the factory reset/wipe several times, but this does not give back the ability to update ;(

Please help me root or at LEAST install the Google Play Store (in a way that functions)!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pythus:
Hi

I recently moved from Samsung Galaxy note 3 to LG G3. After configuring my email in the default mail app, I noticed that any outgoing emails that are sent from the LG G3 were being saved in a folder labeled "sent". However, this seems to be a locally saved "sent" folder, since I am unable to find these emails anywhere else I have my email setup such as Outlook on my PC.

Whereas on the samsung galaxy note 3, the emails that were sent in the "sent" folder, were actually being saved on the remote folder with the same label.

Is there a way to choose where sent emails get saved on the LG G3?

My email is setup as IMAP.

see attached screenshot showing the current folder structure. I am not sure why all remote folders are labelled INBOX.xxxx. This is not how I have them labelled on outlook.

Appreciate your help. Thanks.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pythus:
after further research it seems this is a common issue with IMAP and the stock / default mail app. The only solution is to use third party apps that can handle IMAP better.

would appreciate any input on this issue.

thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedja.m:
I belive the problem is that all your other folders are prefixed (or better say, subfolders of Inbox, so you understand what i mean). The solution I would reccomend would be to first remove the mail account that you have set up on your phone (in the e-mail app), and then set it up again. While you are setting it up, at the step where you are configuring INBOUND settings, there is a field labeled "IMAP path prefix" (I have stock app, but G3s shouldn't be any different for this). In that field you need to input INBOX. Let it sync and it should be fine :)

EDIT: After you do this, you will have 2 separate folders for trash/deleted messages, cause naming convention in outlook is different. If you need this synced too, you will have to rename the folder in Outlook. It won't allow you to do this from outlook itself. You can use a tool named MFC Mapi to rename the folder, you can find it on this page: mfcmapi.codeplex.com . I've already done this several times, being a sys admin, and it works just fine. If you are doing this, it would be better to do it before setting up your account on your phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
Speaking of the default LG email app, is there any way to enable push frequency? I didn't see the option for it on the GPad either.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pythus:
Thanks for clarifying. The issue is clearer to me now. I checked on my previous android device, where I had no issues with IMAP, and the path prefix option was there. Sadly, "IMAP path prefix" option is not available on my LG G3. Hopefully, this gets included in a future update.

I found a link where you can download the apk of the stock email app from android 4.4. There was no path prefix option here either. However, it detected my IMAP folders automatically and it is working fine (all folders including trash).

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/18/googles-stock-email-app-finds-its-way-onto-the-play-store/

With regards to sync intervals, on the default email app on the G3, there is an "Update Schedule" option, where you can specify the sync intervals from 5 minutes up to 8 hours, peak and off-peak times.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedja.m:
That can't be right, it's one of important options for imap since quite some admins are setting prefix. I have the stock e-mail app (or better say the CM11 one). The option should be in Settings > Account name > Incoming settings , then the last field, just under the Security type, is IMAP path prefix. If you are setting up new account then Manual setting should be selected when prompted. I know you solved the issue, but can you double check? It seems impossible to me that it is not there since the option is quite important. You can see how it looks on my phone at the screenshot in the attachment
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pythus:
I checked again and the IMAP path prefix is not there. I took screenshots of the process of setting up my IMAP email. see the attached photo. In comparison, I also attached my settings from my Galaxy Note which has the IMAP prefix path option.

_________________________________

Hi,

I've been trying for about a month to fix this on my own. Searching and reading and testing. To no avail.

I rooted my EVO LTE per instructions here: youtube.com/watch?v=Y7-dAlaJL2I

All was going well until the backlight started having issues (turned out to be a coincidental hardware problem which I have since fixed). Thinking that it had something to do with my flash of Cyanogenmod 10.2, I attempted to restore my phone to the stock backup through TWRP. Something went wrong, I have no idea what, but the phone would no longer boot. I could get it to boot into bootloader, but that's it. If I try to just turn it on, it sits on the HTC screen for a very long time, and then the screen goes black, but the phone is on, and won't charge, or respond. I have to hold the power button for 20 seconds to get it to turn off and charge or reset into bootloader.

I couldn't do much with it at the time, because the backlight on the screen was going in and out and making it difficult to work with. Now that I've fixed the backlight issue, I find that I cannot get into fastboot USB. I have tested it with different cables, which all work to charge the phone, different usb ports, different computers. There is no change. The "FASTBOOT" header will not change to "FASTBOOT USB", although it will show "FASTBOOT AC" while plugged into the wall.

On a windows 8 machine I get no response whatsoever. On my windows 7 machine it is constantly connecting and disconnecting, often showing me the error message that "one of the USB devices plugged in has malfunctioned" or "USB device not recognized"

I have uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync, I have installed drivers from several threads here about similar issues. I have even reformatted my computer and started fresh. Nothing is working.

I can load TWRP recovery from the bootloader menu, but nothing in it works, it only says "failed" or "Cannot mount SD card" for any of the options that I am actually able to click on.

Can anyone offer me any advice as to how to get my phone back to working condition? I'm really kicking myself over getting into this situation, and am not the most educated with this sort of thing. I have tried posting in the designated newbies seeking help threads but got no responses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Easiest way to get back to a working device is to RUU. Look around for the 4.13.651.4 RUU, which will re-partition your internal storage and flash the latest Sense 5 ROM onto your device.

You will need to relock your bootloader for the RUU to run successfully (fastboot oem lock) but only do that once you're prepared to run the utility.

I think [MENTION=4738854]Magnum_Enforcer[/MENTION] might have a guide floating around to help with the process.

You should also consider getting S-OFF once you're updated, using Rumrunner.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
My guide (top link in my sig) only outlines how to run the RUU while connected to a computer. Since his phone won't connect to his PC, wouldn't he be able to run the RUU from his external SD card? I've never done it that way but I've read various other threads where it has been discussed. If he needs to relock his bootloader, that's also going to be an issue since he can't connect via Fastboot USB.

I would be glad to take a look at the phone and see what I can do with it. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Problem is that if the PC won't recognize the device, the bootloader can't be relocked for the RUU (or PJ75IMG.zip) to work.

This is one of those devices I'd really have to mess with in person to try and figure out the best route to a solution. Ubuntu might be a viable option for connecting to the device. A Live CD/USB would be the fastest way to confirm that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
