Signed up to test it out
[Android Apps and Games] Nooblet:
Signed up for Beta, however says it is not on Play Store as of yet. Got an APK we can download by chance?
[Android Apps and Games] bmxmike:
Signed up as well looks promising, joined group just getting 0 of 0
[Android Apps and Games] nellyspageli:
Can you try going here http://www.bentoapp.com/ and clicking join the beta? We've changed the sign up a bit. You should be able to immediately access the beta google group from there. Once you've joined the google group, you should see a link to the beta. Let me know if this doesn't work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] deads.fear.death:
There is no link shows up for me also. Just a blank Group Page.
[Android Apps and Games] tae_254:
Blank group for me as well. Also tried to use desktop mode. Brings me to the welcome message in the group with a playstore link. Playstore link does not work.

Download link not working

Download link after joining beta from your website is not working.:)

edit: Works after manually copying and pasting link!
[Android Apps and Games] smushyyy:
can't download from play store, item not found

[Android Apps and Games] albertobom:
Looks promising. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] EXV:
Signed up but it's just an empty Google groups page. Um, what do I do?
[Android Apps and Games] nellyspageli:
We're really sorry about the blank google groups page. This is the link to download the app. https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.bento.launcher . There have been multiple issues with the way play store beta membership groups work and we have tried to fix all of the issues.

If clicking on the above link takes you to a page that says "App doesn't exist" or "Page not found", you could try a few things:

Please wait a few minutes and open the link again.

Ensure that the default account you used to sign into your browser is the same as used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group.

Ensure that your play store account is using the same email you used to sign up for the Bento Beta Google group

If all else fails, please email support@bentolabs.co
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Joined beta group from site without at hitch, got from Play, installed and ran. Playing with this, looks quite interesting. Later, google+ did not have me in the "community" so requested that as well.

First and second reactions:

1. Intriguing concept. Looks like it belongs in Ubuntu.

2. Weather card should be location-based (maybe it is). Default units should be locale based. How to set up?

3. To facilitate testing, might be better as a launcher overlay rather than a full launcher. But it is very easy to switch homes from settings (was not always the case). Actually, it will run as an app except that the app-drawer or screen from which it is run remains visible behind the app folders.

4. App runs as app from app-drawer or folder. Runs (and labeled as) Bento Settings from Bento's app drawer. So found how to get my Celcius and km. Cannot place Bento Settings on the folders.

5. A refresh (or "more") button on cards pane might be in order. Can be mostly blank for long periods of time.

6. Got a "tomorrow" card. Never got "today."

7. Quickly learned how to arrange the folders, add, remove apps. More-or-less just like current stock launchers.

8. Like it or not, we are still part of the Google universe (though Cyanogen/Microsoft and Rational would like to change that). So normal calendar, maps, google+ will be around and should fit in. Google Now should also fit into this scheme.

9. Problem on my ArmV6 dinosaur: Cannot use Google's off-line speech recognition which will crash. I get text into Google Now using a voice search wrapper widget which links with older VoiceSearch on-line recognition (that app also did phone searches like Bento!). Voice input to keyboards, most apps crashes. There is a settings->language&input->voice-recognition choice which should be polled and respected. When Bento has more traction, might persuade the wrapper's dev to do a version that feeds Bento's searchbox intent.

10. The thing has no clock. On other launchers I use chronus so took the clock off status bar. Bento runs immersive mode anyway. (Another reason this is more and app than a launcher.)

11. Getting typed text into search bar is problematic sometimes. KB comes up but does not enter.

More to come ...
[Android Apps and Games] Dovidhalevi:
Experiment running Bento as an app->idea for widget usage:

Set up new, home-screen, Bento icon placed on lower row. It will be covered by the "spaces" bar when Bento is running.

Place desired widgets, such as a clock. They will not be clickable.

Run Bento by clicking the icon. This home-screen with widget will appear behind "space" panes. Clicks there will run app clicked rather than anything from the widget.

Cudo: Delays loading apps from here show this background which is now active home-screen.

Suggestion: One or more such underlays for the "spaces" which can carry widgets. Used carefully, looks decent.

Setup

Samsung S3 on Verizon SCH-I535

Slimkat 4.4.4 build 8262

TWRP 2.8.4

Baseband I535VRBLK3

Problem

Unable to detect sim

Here's the skinny.

I have an iPhone 5s with a sim adapter.

Everything is working great as far as custom ROMs go.

I've tried cyanogen, PAC rom., and I've landed on slimkat as my favorite.

I get no sim detected on all ROMs.

I even went to Verizon to officially activate my s3 with an official Verizon sim and I still get no sim detected.

Any thoughts?

already did reset the phone and upgraded it to a new OS version via Fastboot RUU but still the same problem I'm not using a HTC charger but I am using a 1 and 2 Amp power adapter with a Sony USB data cable

does any one how to go about it thank you guys

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nightevo89:
sounds like it could be a hardware or Rom/kernel problem....try using a different charger or different rom/kernel and see if the problem persist!

I need these features

-able to be used around the world

-64mb Ram

-128 Rom

-2mp camera

-touchscreen

-Wifi G

-Radio

-WM5 or WM6 (preferably WM6)

-built in handsfree

-at least 4-5 hours talk time

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions what to look for?

What do i need to know about network?

Whats a sim card, carrier, unlocked?

I prefer something smaller without a slideable keyboard, but if it has a keyboard and its cheaper, i wouldn't mind.

I really like a Eten Glofish x500, but its kinda of expensive.
[General Topics] ANTC:
Hermes would be good..
[General Topics] Rxq:
which one?
[General Topics] Rxq:
Can i get some more opinions from other people?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
a few options

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Trinity

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis
[General Topics] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
The most robust, at the current moment, would be the Hermes. All the versions are pretty much identical, with the exception of the Cingular 8525. That one doesn't have the front cam. But the Hermes meets all the specs you mentioned.

*** Off topic, but Rudegar, is that quote in your signature a reference to a certain head named Murray?

Pebble is a Huge Company Now Why are they still in KickStarter?
[Pebble] iamzug:
I don't think they are that big considering how much something like this would cost to develop... Also, cynically, everybody will want to buy the apple watch when that is launched. so they are bringing in the money now. Clever.
[Pebble] Belkiolle:
They're not a huge company at all. They still have less than 100 employees I'm pretty sure. Their LinkedIn page shows they have between 51-200. Kickstarter was probably much more about publicity than it was about funding though.
[Pebble] sgiannouris:
This. Also a clever way to outsource the pre-order system so that it wouldn't overwhelme their servers
[Pebble] Anon87:
http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/24/8104385/pebble-time-watch-kickstarter-fundraising

TL;DR?

Margins are smaller using kickstarter. Plus they get the money up front.
[Pebble] EvanShelbyTech:
They thought that "coming back to the core people" would make a home run. The ball went out of the park...
[Pebble] SkolVikings94:
Look at their success with it. That's why. They really aren't that big either.
[Pebble] kparikh82276:
I think for a small company is a success. They went to how it all started, and I'm glad I was their backer the second time around.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalegg:
I want to unlock my phone so if and when I root it I won't wipe all my data. Can i unlock the phone, root at a later time and get OTA updates in the interim. I hope this question is not too stupid.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Your question is not stupid. Yes, you can unlock your boot loader and OTA updates will still install.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedi5diah:
you will lose root after OTA
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
OTA`s can only be installed on a non-modified system, rooting will prevent the OTA to be installed as the system is modified. An unlocked bootloader is no problem. Once you unlocked the BL you can flash the image or OTA yourself in recovery/sideload.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedi5diah:
root will still get ota...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Yup, but it can not be installed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwned3:
It won't install. Rooting changes system files. It will fail the check and abort the ota

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Unlocking bootloader is not a problem. Locked bootloader is like a locked door of a house and consider root as the person who is supposed to enter to the house but if you open the door and the person doesn't enter into the house then it's not a problem :) But if there is root, the update will be downloaded but the root will prevent it to get installed :) Hope it clears your doubts :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
That *used* to be the case before Lollipop.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leekeene:
How does ota work? Is the update something my telephone provider sends? If so if you are using an unlocked phone on a non provider network what happens

Currently UK vodafone N6 but it wasn't locked so I'm using a three network sim.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
With a Nexus device or GPE device, all OTA's come direct from Google. With other phones, it's up to the OEM and cell service provider.
[HTC Rezound] dangerousinternetseaotter:
Greetings my friends. I have searched the forum high and low but have still not found a proper guide in getting this device back working. including this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632629

long story short. a friend gave me an htc rezound and said one day it just stopped working and it will not go past the htc white screen.

I followed the the recovery guide in the thread from the link. everything works well until I type in the command fastboot boot recovery.img here is what happens:

1. it goes to the white htc screen

2. a small bar in the upper right portion of the screen loads to completion very quickly

3. it stays on the htc screen for about 15 seconds and then the device powers down

is there anyone here who could help me with this problem? I think this is a great phone, I just want to use it as an mp3 player and social media. any assistance would be highly appreciated. thank you for your time!

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] michaelclaw:
Hello,

I'm currently running the SPRINT HTC M8 with Android version 5.0.1 (upgraded through OTA) with root and bootloader unlocked i think. I was just curious if i could flash that rom or if there was another rom that was pure lolipop that i can flash with s-on as i dont think we can do s-off right now??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2762336
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes you can flash it. Being S-on you may need to flash the kernel separately from the ROM itself.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] michaelclaw:
Just a normal flashing of the rom?

Wipe data system cache dalik then flash the rom? would i just flash the kernel after like i was flashing gapps? also is gapps included or do i need to flash that after the kernel?

update for GSM

hey!Im currently using this phone on a gsm carrier. .anyway i can update the phone directly by putting it in CDMA mode or something?Or do i need to wait for a RUU to flash?Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Has anyone been able to get the ota update from verizon ?

I went back to completely stock 4.4.4 rom with no system roms removed, stock 4.4.4 recovery and I flashed back to 4.4.4 firmware and the verizon ota updates keeps coming up that I have the latest software.

I know its out because verizon itself even shows it on the net going over the update in detail. They even show you can also get the update through the htc sync software by plugging your m8 in to yuour computer usb port and downloading the update. Which the htc sync software keeps showing no update either.

It would show a repair software option though which I tried that knowing I would still have s-off even if they did relock my bootloader because I could change my cid and use htc dev to unlock that if I needed to.

Anyone have any luck going back to stock and taking the LP ota from verizon ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] lucky_strike33:
Just be careful when flashing the new lollipop. Jcase has said get root before flashing lollipop.

No mention of enabling VoLTE... :eek:

That would be most annoying if they did not. Seems like other handsets the same age have it. If this is a ploy by HTC to get you to keep buying phones I might reconsider another HTC.. :rolleyes:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] quasihellfish:
The Lollipop update to the AT&T version of the M8 has VoLTE, indicating it's probably a carrier thing more than an HTC thing.

Does anyone know if FoxFi will still work after the Lollipop Update?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
Has anyone actually received it? Droid-Life said it started rolling out last night.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] carm01:
Imagine Verizon ruining the experience.. like their bloatware lolz

I wonder since it has not been tweeted, and stated on the HTC site if vzw prematurely posted the update info page on their site?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
The sites reporting it as already rolling out should wait until someone actually gets it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] quasihellfish:
Probably. HTC's update page still says that it's in the "3 - Certification stage of the Android Lollipop Release."

Although Mo Versi did say to expect it the first week of March. So must be close.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Alton (Halo 2):
I just ordered an m8 from Verizon and I really hope it didn't come with lollipop.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
Mo Versi replied this morning: "It's approved, you should receive the OTA soon. Thanks!"
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
Pretty sure one site saw that the lollipop documentation was up and just assumed the ota was released and then all the other sites just copy and pasted it and now its a runaway train. And it being approved is not the same as the update being pushed out. Pretty sure we got played as far as getting it today.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] w0rdie:
You'll be fine, just Sunshine before you accidentally hit update.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xaalfx:
Just wait until our devs get their hands on the update that you dont shoot yourself in the foot
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Alton (Halo 2):
Will it ship with the first firmware ? (4.4.2) or the latest? (4.4.4)?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] xsteven77x:
At this point your odds are 4.4.4. There is practically zero chance of it having lolligagger on it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bryant23109:
This says last time the HTC One m8 was updated is tomorrow I bet the update for lollipop will be released tomorrow on the 5th

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Especially after they make us wait till last just so they can shove more bloatware on while lining their pockets in the process. And this crap where is our volte update ???? At&t got theirs a while back for the m8 so where is ours ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Nothing from Mo Versi so far...but yeah HTC updates shows stage 4. The Lollipop update PDF on Verizon's site is dated 03-05-2015, haven't heard anyone actually getting it yet.

I wish I had a live chicken around to kill to make a sacrifice--maybe that would unleash the OTA. What would Brian Boitano do?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
That verizon web page shows you can get the LP update by connection your m8 to your pc and updating that way but it does not show an update there either only the option to repair ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
It won't either right away. Usually a day or two or longer after OTA hits.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I have never seen them post about an update and it not be available.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
I'm still on 4.4.3. I'm just waiting for the RUU/ota for lollipop for the updated radios.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
OK.. I'm not looking for an argument here but as a purveyor of all things ruu they are not always on time with htc sync repair.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
Why didnt you update to 4.4.4 ?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Indeed..prob alot of backend/corp,etc still needing to do, etc. It's a business.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I"am not looking to argue either, especially since I use your ruu's lol. I just like many thought it was kind of screwy that they posted that on line before the update is even available.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Two companies involved here.

Htc often has a problem getting info from the technical side over to the people who actually update their update website. Too many different teams on different schedules to get one statement.

Bottom line...

My money is on tomorrow at noon.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
lazyness. Im on smoothrom 4.4.3 right now. I was going to update to 5.0 and get the new radios..then goto the GPE rom. That way I should be able to retain the newer radios with the GPE ROM. I thought at the time, it was not a "full" update as it was still based on 4.4.4...maybe I'm totally wrong. I flashed 4.4.3 back in Oct..and have been waiting patiently like all of you folks for the offical lollipop. But I just wanted the official new radios..none of that Verizon bloat. I don't Face the Book, or Ter Twit..or was that twitter..lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M9guy:
I dont do all that social media either I just like my phone like I like my women fast and happy lol. I run the fluent 2.0.1 rom with the SROM LP firmware and it runs great I just would like the full LP to fix a couple minor bugs.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I think you may be on the money there I just know I"am done wasting time and will wait for someone else to post they got the ota before I go to all the trouble of going back stock to take the ota.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Last comment I have here tonight..... Noticed that vzw removed the globe on the clock app for "memory concerns" .

What's curious to note is that I noticed the sense 7 clock app also lacks the globe. Must have been one hell of a memory hog to have only been able to run on older roms/devices. ☺

Well i think i got it my friends or at least that´s what i think, i was reading the "official pdf" and the same version matches with the htc sync manager, i attached the picture.

http://i61.tinypic.com/25hppqs.jpg

Its funny cause i dont even live in the US, now i have several things to worry about which stops me from updating the phone now, first is that my computer runs ubuntu so the pc that im currently using is not mine and its slow as hell, second is that i got my phone second hand used and i noticed the bootloader is unlocked (s-off) and its rooted, however its using the stock firmware 4.4.2 but i dont know if it is still the stock kernel? as far as i checked it has the stock recovery at least, would you guys think is there going to be a problem or what do i need to check?
