You are right !

M$ have a basic problem in their buisness concept ... not letting people have the freedom that they need and want to upgrade and evolve their OS

And that's why (i believe) people are starting to switch to other OS like OSX or linux.

I am very much afraid that it will also start happening in our mobile decives with symbian and others ...

because although WM5 (and 6) tend to .... crash, hang, or just not work, in my opinion it is the most versitile OS there is .... plenty of programs for it ... and plenty of programmers making new stuff as they go, and that's without including ROM maker which are a whole highly respectable group on their own.

I believe that it is our decision to upgrade, as well as our legal right(for the OS' price is no doubt included in the device's retail price) BUT people must have no right to complain after screwing with their device or worse (bricking it).

And in that respect i agree with M$.

So i propose the middle ground, asking M$ if writing a diclaimer here on XDA that users must go through before downloading and/or upgrading their device will do, and hope that they accept.

if not ...

find a legal loophole, because I for one am not willing to give XDA up just yet !

sorry if i bored you guys, but that's just the way i feel about this whole thing.

UPGRADE ON !

heh.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] columbo:
I have never been one to defend Microsoft, but from reading their letter carefully, it would appear it has more to do with the mobile operators putting pressure on them. Two things I would like to say in response to this.

1) If the mobile operators and manufacturers would employ developers who were even half as quick and resourceful as the developers here, they might actually have sold me a phone that worked properly to start with, unlike my SPV M5000 which was crashing on a daily basis, even with their latest ROM, until I updated it with a ROM from this forum. Had I not been saved by this this amazing forum, I would have demanded a refund, Orange would have lost money and I would have moved to a different company.

2) People who update their phones with ROM images from this forum should know better than to seek support from their mobile operator after having updated their ROM. They should have known that they would not like this.

Now we all have to suffer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Cyber-mate:
They'll have to face't!

I have never gone to my mobile operator nor the phone support service center! I have not a single doubt in my mind that I know better than the "technician" sitting behind his desk claiming to fix my PDA whenever it hicks up!

This forum and only THIS FORUM, helped 100K of people to fix their own PDAs and even created a wide knowledge to those beginners who knew nada about roms or tweaking pdas!

But sorry to say that OS developers have gone too far this time and as it was rightly said, the tighter and tougher they become the more roms ther will be out there even more than they can imagine, since it is a challenge they've started, they'll have to face't.

So I had to go back to the store and exchange my Red Turbo. Yesterday after I charged it only for the 3rd time in a week with heavy use, I noticed down at the bottom a large warp bubble was starting.

Hello. Had my note 4 since release and just now trying to use usb host / otg and having no luck. Absolutely no devices are working on my note 4. Tried the otg adapter on my nexus 10 and its fine so unless there is a special adapter needed for the note 4 the otg cable is not the problem. I have tried a xbox controller a mous and a thumb drive and nothing not even led lights showing activation.

So any advice or is my usb port bad? Been using vanilla android for a while (nexus devices) is there a setting im not use to maybe?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmcp:
stable and fast but a bit "ugly"?

Hi

first of all I would like to thank the creator of UBeam v1.7 for this very useful rom. I've been using the rom since its launch and it is quite stable and fast. It brought new life to my old HTC Wildfire. Apps install and update flawlessly so far and the speed of the phone remains the same as the first day of the installation.

So far I've only encountered some bugs/crashes when using the camera for video and/or photos. But I haven't been able to find a pattern. It seems to happen randomly.

The only downside that I can point out for this ROM is the poor legibility of some of the menus, like the names on the phone list and stuff like that (light gray text over a white back ground, or sometimes text and background of the same color.).

As some members referred before, the suit thing would be to have the awsome theme from V1.6 working on this V1.7. That would be the cherry on top of the cake.

If someone has the skills to do this, I ( and certainly many other people) would be very thankful.

Nice work

Cheers

:o Okay, so i've been trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy s3 mini(sm-g730a). In my escapades I managed to screw up the /system/bin/sh file. The phone will still boot up and works for the most part. But it no longer recognizes the fact that the phone has been rooted and i'm unable to use any apps that require root access. I have dd images of my /system partition prior my screw up. My problem is how to get the dd image back onto the phone. I've tried using Heimdall, it didn't work. I can't open the ADB shell to work from there and fix the problem. So, could someone point me in the right direction of how i'd go about restoring the /system partition from the dd image I have?

Hello to everyone,

I'm writing for a friend who has a big problem with TeamViewer:

"I'm a 19 yers old boy, who is affected by a rare degenerative genetic disease that forces me to stay 24/7 lying, and allows me to move only the index of the left hand, that I use to move the touchpad on my laptop.

Yesterday, I've updated my Android smartphone (an LG Nexus 5) to the new 5.0 version "Lollipop", but the remote control of the TeamViewer Quick Support app, which is foundamental to me for using my smartphone, does not work anymore. The app cannot connect to my phone, and it keeps the "connecting" word on the screen without any effects.

I state that the notebook software and the app, are up to date to their last stable version. In addition the laptop mounts the Windows 8.1 O.S.

I please the staff of TeamViewer, or anyone who can help me to solve this problem, to make compatible the app, or give me a solution.

I'm not able to use the smartphone without the remote control, and without smartphone i'm more disabled than i already am.

Thank you,

Mattia."

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinturikkio:
Hello guys, I've installed Nova launcher on my noteII, with the app Chronus to emulate the weather widget and calendar I had on Touchwiz. So now I want ask you:

1) using nova you have a better or worst battery life vs Touchwiz?

2) Google launcher attracts me to. It's Lollipop google style, but this launcher becomes phenomenal with Google now actived. So I want to know: Has Google Now its effects on battery life? influence it the battery drain? Whereas I do not always 3g wifi and gps active.

3)What is the best launcher?

4)I installed Lollipop keyboard too: can it influence battery drain?

Thanks for the answers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
1) Everything has better battery life than Touchwiz

2) Yes obviously it uses power but how much will depend on a lot of different factors like if you have location enabled or what notifications etc etc.

3) There is no such thing. It's subjective and down to personal preference. What may be "best" for one person is not "best" for somebody else. Try them and find out what you like.

4) Everything effects battery. I cant see any reason why this would use more power than other keyboards.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Nova Launcher is pretty battery friendly. So is google now. Not much to compare.

However, they are certainly better than touchwiz.

If you are worried about battery, here are some things you can do:

1. Disable Sync on all accounts.

2. Disable location setting in Google maps

3. Turn off always allow scanning in wifi settings.

4. In my experience, 3G / 4G surfing is bad for battery life.

Lastly, you can download better battery stats to see what apps / services are eating into your battery.
