Is it really true?

If the fact is that India has less Android One users, then why Google want to release it in batch? Y can't they release all together? is the Google technology that poor? Please don't compare this with Nexus release. Nexus got the updates in 2014 only. Android One users are already late and can't pray for what they are supposed to get. It is a cheat game by Google. What if one person sits in a remote place and don't even bother about or knows about Lollipop update getting the update? I think Google is already late and making the customers wait is not a good thing. It is just politics. Other than that, i am not finding any reason for Google to release it in batch. Any way, thanks to Indonesian ROM, CM12 and XDA. I had a flavor of Android tasted. I hope we can trust CM on their words rather than Google. They just are interested in Ads. Nothing else.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] rusty_banks:
The whole android and everything by Google is a mere platform just for Ads. They do every innovation just to display ads.

They have a far more reach than television, in fact more than Internet itself in our lives. All this info about us so that they can serve ads.

Its a win win situation for all of us though, they get revenue and fame and we get awesome technology for almost no cost. So lets bear with the late updates. After all we atleast are getting Lollipop. :p:p
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] StormyKnight:
but iPhone has ads too :confused:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] nitishanand99:
Just google up ad settings that should get u to a page where u can know what Google knows about you (or atleast what it thinks) u can check your interests, ur age according to the content u view maybe.. And also opt out of interest based ads.. U can also do this in mobile from ads> google account in settings.

Sorry for off topic. Post in public interest.

Note: this does not stop ads.. U will still see ads but not based on your personal information.

anyone recieved a lollipop update

3 days ... ago but not have a any notification for lollipop update. google rolled out a update for android one on 24 feb .. .
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] StormyKnight:
I have noticed most of android phones are getting the update since recently some got the updates (like HTC brand) 7 days ago and some didn't even have the update so it seems like people are getting the update nowadays and it might take like few weeks or maybe a couple of months to complete the update process. it's quite disadvantage for us because we have only 2 year update contract and after 2 year we won't get the update and if it gets delay like this we won't be able to have most of future updates because then our contract is already expired.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Adi Shakthi:
You are 100% correct ....

It seems Google made experiment on Asian countries to check sales of its device with its test toy A1

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] rusty_banks:
Now they'll start to send the updates in batches over the next few days. These people are tossing us a lot. They should not be so vague. It makes people frustrated. No one will mind being late but at least we deserve to know the specific dates for the release.

Android One Project is going to be a pickle. :(a :confused::eek:

humble request

This is a request to all android one users that if anyone gets the lollipop update then please do not install it. First upload the update.zip file of the update and only then install the update.

How to get the update.zip file of the update :

First off when you see the update available notification, tap it.

Then there must be an option to download it. Select it and download the update. BUT DO NOT PRESS INSTALL! Before installing it, do the following process :

Using a root explorer app(you'll have to root the phone for this), go to the cache folder in the root of the system and you must see the update.zip file there. Copy it to your sd card and upload that file to d-h.st website. And the go back and now you can install the update.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] rusty_banks:
You can always share the information to be as clear as possible instead of asking to 'pm' as others who might not know would also get to know without 'pm-ing'.

Just a thought.

Spice Mobiles today released the latest version of Android, the Android Lollipop 5.1, for its Dream Uno Android One handset in India. The Android Lollipop 5.1 update is the latest version of Android operating system and offers a significantly improved smartphone experience with an enhanced visual appeal, user interface and general improvements in system stability.

The upgrade will be made available to Spice Dream Uno users in batches over the next few days, wherein customers can experience the latest Android version on their smartphones.

ALSO READ: Spice Dream Uno*review.

Commenting on the update, Prashant Bindal, chief operating officer, Spice Mobility Ltd, said "In line with our brand promise "Always the latest”, we are delighted to be the first player to release the Android Lollipop 5.1 update, exclusively for our Spice Dream Uno users in India. Android Lollipop 5.1 is the latest version of Lollipop and consists of lots of improvements over Lollipop 5.0, such as an improved battery and RAM management and smarter notifications, thereby offering our customers an enhanced user experience. In the future as well, we look forward to be the first to offer our consumers the latest technology with our devices."

Spice Dream Uno was the first smartphone in India under Google's Android One programme under which affordable devices with pure Google experience are being offered to people. In short, these are the cheaper versions of Nexus devices which have pure Android*UI*and have high end hardware and thus are offered in mid to high range price bracket.

The Spice Dream Uno offers a 4.5 inch IPS LCD display with 480x854 pixels resolution, 1.3 Ghz quad core processor, 5 megapixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front camera, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB internal storage, 32 GB micro SD card slot, dualSIM,*3G,*Bluetooth,*WiFi, and a 1700 mAh Li-Ion battery.

Micromax's Canvas A1 and Karbonn's Sparkle V are other two smartphones to be launched under Android One programme. Just*recently*Google announced the availability of Android Lollipop update for Android One devices after which the announcement of Spice came. So Micromax and Karbonn too are likely to announce the Android 5.0 update for their Canvas A1 and Sparkle V smartphones respectively very soon.

If you own any of these smartphones, go to your Settings -> About Phone -> Software Update to get (or check the availability) of the update

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Salrza:
Hi

I am having problem with my Volume Down key.

When the phone is ON, the volume down is not working. I can use the volume rocker to get volume UP. But when I press down, though I can feel that DOWN is being pressed, the volume does not turn low. I have to turn the volume low using the slider on the screen.

Also when I restart my phone it goes directly to Fastboot, showing reason for fastboot : Volume down key pressed.

(I would like to add that the volume is not automatically turning down in my phone when it is ON)

I feel its a software issue rather than hardware, however, i am not sure.

Please help.

Also I cannot do factory reset as when the phone restarts it goes to Fastboot. If I choose Recovery in Fastboot and go to the next screen where I have to choose WIPE DATA,/FACTORY RESET, i cannot scroll down to that using volume down, as it does not work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ekkoria:
That sounds like a hardware issue rather than software, seeing as your phone boots in fastboot, indicating that it thinks volume down is pressed even before the phone boots. I'd look into just using your warranty.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Gundabolu SC:

Please go into your sound and notification settings and play the Ganymede ringtone in portrait mode on highest volume (does your top speaker sound distorted?), now while it is playing turn the phone into landscape mode (might have to turn both ways to get it to switch) . Does it sound different?

My top speaker sounds like it is blown in the portrait mode and when the phone switches to landscape mode the sound becomes more full and both speakers work like they should. What are you results?

THANKS!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLS2000:
I hear distortion with that ring tone no matter what orientation I have the phone in.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawad:
Sound is distorted in both orientations on several of the ringtones, not just Ganymede. My first N6 didn't have this speaker/sound problem, but my second one does. We'll see if the third (should be coming soon) is any improvement.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxione:
Ok thx. Really hope that this is a software issue. Not because of that one song but because I get distorted sound in ringtones, notifcations and such aswell.

[Android Apps and Games] Ribice:
HQ Android is an android review website, focused only on applications. My initial plan was to review every major application, and then simply have them updated as time passes.

Besides simple reviews, there will be news about weekly app updates (including changelog), android wear app reviews, mock designs for app redesigns etc.

We were a larger team, but I went inactive for few months due to preparations for my marriage and honeymoon. In that period, some of them left, and now there are five of us still willing to work on this project.

All authors are allowed to put up to two adsense units in their reviews, and there will be no other ads on those reviews. Other ways of site monetization would be paying for review positioning on website (the three reviews at the top, and the wide one, currently Dashclock). In other words, visitors wouldn’t be spammed with ads. I will help out authors without Adsense account to get one, and those that have it ready can immediately add their ads.

Now I’m not a web programmer at all, I’m just pretty familiar with WordPress. I bought a theme on Themeforest, set it up and paid a designer for a logo. The theme itself is pretty good and has all the features a standard review website would need. However, there are some things I’d like to get implemented/changed, so I requested those from the developer. If the site gets fairly popular, I might hire someone to build a custom theme for the website, or build the site on a different framework.

What we need mostly is authors. You don’t need to write x reviews per day, any number of reviews will work. You can write when you have time, without any pressure. We’d like to review every popular app out there, so a large number of authors are welcome. Other forms of support are more than welcome too, like designers, people running the social media accounts etc.

I still need to polish the website a bit, and we need to put average author ratings instead of single author rating. Game reviews and sections need an update too. The site is currently in beta, until we finish those things.

You can visit the website at HQAndroid.com

All suggestions and critiques are more than welcome.

[Android Apps and Games] rootcid:
Its a fine site mate, well done. Ill visit regularly.

Do you offer devs reviews? If so what sort of audience do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] Ribice:
Sure, all devs are free to submit their review. We'll check it before posting.

Well currently there is hardly something you can call an audience. We haven't advertised anywhere (prior to this XDA post or reddit) so we're slowly trying to build it.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] jasimpson89:
Hi all,

I am trying to work what smartwatch to buy and keep being drawn towards the smartwatch 3 because of its built in wifi. Now I know that there isn't support for it yet but has anyone heard any rumours or have a good guess as to what they think it might be used for?? Googling this has yet to turn up anything useful for this.

Personaly I would like to use the wifi to still get notification when I am at work when I am connected to the wifi but dont have my phone with me. It would also be really cool to have the things like my keep enteries and calander appointments stored locally on the watch and notifications for them would still trigger without having my phone with me.

Personally I would prefer a round smartwatch however this sort of functionalility is way more useful for me and the fact it has GPS and uses USB is a big plus for me.

Thanks in advance for all your responses.

Smartphone 3, WiFi I have no use for it.

Android Wear smartwatches pull notifications from the smartphone using bluetooth I really do not know what they have in mind by including WiFi

Do not forget the Smartwatch 3 screen can be set to ambient mode on always. You can read comfortably notification in direct sun light.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mightyox:

Recently I updated my phone LG p990/optimus 2x to ICS 4.0.4 original V30a, by AIO toolkit,

everything works fine, but now the Wifi does not work.

Let me give details

================

when i turn it on, it discovers networks and immediately say the network is out of range.

i try several tools from playstore to repair it but it does not work.

the apps from playstore always say inactive. i tried wifi fixer, hotspot problems, etc.

However, the portable wifi works, - meaning i can broadcast wifi from my phone but i cant recieve,

my data charges are becoming huge.

It can't be done without decompiling Settings.apk and editing the XML code within to remove the telephone number field.

what programs are recommended for ripping DVDs into 640x480 to view on ameo?

any recomendations for conversion of existing AVIs ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Moskus:
PocketDivXEncoder is free and excellent:

http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] shockboy2000:
cheers for that.

ive converted an existing AVI file i had, can view converted file on PC nicely but windows media player on Ameo says it cannot play file. Do i need a seperate divx player or codecs installed on the Ameo?

Also, the pocketdivxextractor doesnt seem to like the VOB files on a DVD to read. i dont see a preview, and when i tried extracting one..it came out jarbled and lasted only 5secs or so. Is there a trick i am missing? Tried a couple of my DVDs, in various drives
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
You need a divx player for PPC, WMP wont do them. Or mpg, its kinda sucky that way.

Also, pocketdivxencoder crashes lots under vista :(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wout:
you need "tcmp" or "coreplayer"

greetings,

Wout
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Agreed, TCPMP or Coreplayer are your best media players for pocket pc and are capable of playing Divx, MP4, Xvid, OGG files and mpeg 1 files amongst others. WMP10 only supports WMV, MP4 and MPEG 1.

TCPMP is freeware and various codec plug ins are available for it, such as AVC, AC3, FFMEG etc.

Coreplayer is not free but is made by the same people and is a much nicer application aesthetically.

Conversion is achieved by many different methods. Pocketdivxencoder is a simple one to use, but is lacking in DVD to PPC capabilities. It is better used for quick re-encoding of existing AVI files etc.

For DVD Ripping get the following freeware software:

DVD Decryptor (to remove encryption from DVD and to rip it to hard drive)

Get and use DVDx 2.5 to encode the DVD to Divx based AVI file or Xvid (free codec)...though I prefer the results of using the latest Divx codec (but it's not free, you do get a long trial period though to see if it meets your demands).

So basically DVDx encodes your VOBs to one AVI file or other format and takes a bit longer than Pocketdivxencoder, but you get more options in encoding and much better results in my opinion.

Alternatively download a copy of ImToo 3GP Converter which can rip a DVD direct to any other format (most poular formats - providing it is not encrypted, in which case use DVD Decrypter or DVD Fab Decrypter Freeware and superb application).

Once you get the hang of these apps you should not need any others, but if you really get into all of this encoding lark, try Virtual Dub or such like programs which give you virtually full control over all aspects of video conversions.

Good luck.

my qoestion is why this happen ? flashing Rom or changing partition system maybe break my internal storage , ?

Flashing Rom (custom on Custom ) can harm ineternal storage ?

my opinion is it not make any sense that i have no power to turning on ? if its my storage is dead i should see backlight of lcd or my button is that right ?
