That argument doesn't make much sense unless you don't know many Mac users. If that's the case then I think your perception is skewed... the Mac users I know (I know several hundred as I work in a mixed Mac/Win environment) will use whatever works well. Your argument is like saying Windows users will prefer WinMo when in actuality I know A LOT of Windows users who can't stand WinMo and use iPhones or Androids. Also I think the opposite from in regards to that I know how to use computers (I manage a very large infrastructure project for the government) and I don't care about the data copying method, I just want the device to work as it should, as promised, and do what I need it to. So far iPhone does that and it appears WP7 will too...

I did some searching, and for those who are looking for a Mac OS sync with WP7, this is kind of hitting the mark: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/mac-connector.aspx

you can get phone software updates and move media.

Syncmate might work; it does with my Tilt running WM6.1 and WM6.5--even using the USB cable. www.sync-mac.com

Search for Windows Phone Connector in your iMAC App Store....

I have Zune on a Win Vista laptop, but iMAC is main machine, so I may actually start using this instead.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Over8ted:
I have a Mac and I generally use Windows Phone Connector quite a bit if I have to. I usually just run Parallels Desktop though and use Zune as it's much easier to manage files and you can actually pick specific songs that you want to load onto your device. WPC only lets you sync albums and artists.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeremy.head:
Windows phone 7 connector is alright when you need to sync media but to when updating your phone it lacks that feature. Though I don't mind booting into boot camp.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fishbowlhead:
The WP7 connector beta when it was first released for osx was actually pretty handy. Would sync your iTunes music to your WP7 normally and quickly, but would also sync any music bought on the device from Zune store back into iTunes when it was connected again, as well as any new music from iTunes bought in the meantime away from your device. Kept your music collection nice and tidy and everything synced.

Then one day it all just stopped working with a message popping up you had to download the new version from the apple store. Low and behold the new "improved" version lacked the cross device syncing, making it all pretty pointless really.

[EVO 4G General] Rhoq:
For the last 2 days data is sometimes unavailable, resulting in the "data call failure". I have the "always on mobile data" disabled", though I doubt this makes a difference here, since it was working just fine like that up until Sunday.

I've also noticed the GPS become active, when it shouldn't be (the only times I ever see this icon is with Sprint Navigator, Google Maps and Poynt). It is possible that the GPS has always turned at random (to to gauge location) but never saw it until the other day. I have not installed anything new, other than a few app updates.

Back when I had a BlackBerry, I would notice the same types of network oddities once every few weeks and a few folks over at CrackBerry had verified that were seeing the type of weirdness. I'd like to think that this is just something funky with Sprint's data network.

Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen some bizarre behavior with data and gps on their Evo over the last few days. I'm in Philadelphia, PA - this may be region-specific, not sure.
[EVO 4G General] Rhoq:
I think I found the source of the GPS usuage: the CNET Scan & Shop app. Spare Parts showed me that this uses the GPS quite a bit, funny thing is - I've never used it. It's uninstalled now. I've rebooted my Evo a few times and data seems to be fine now, however it now looks like 3G is not turning off when the phone is locked like it normally does with "always on mobile data" disabled. The only other things I can think is the recent Touiter update or today's GMail update.
[Vibrant General] techboydino:
With stock Rom back in August I was hitting 5.3 Mb/s download speeds. Now I'm barely hitting .5 consistantly. I did some Nandroid restores and retested. All were the same crappy speeds.

No radio changes to date that I know of. Running Eugene's latest Frankin-whiz. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas?
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
I'm afraid I can't be much help with solving the problem bit I am seeing the same issue here in central utah. I was getting speeds close to 2 mbps than I rooted, applied the lag fix, applied the gps fix (which didn't work any way), and now I get half a meg of I'm lucky. First time I tested I got .05 mbps....how do you check data usage to see if you are over the 10 gig limit where tmo throttles you?
[Vibrant General] dboii54:
Same here in Colorado Springs. Latest FrankenWiz Rom. Checked data usage, and only at 1.3 G, as I mainly use wifi. Thought it was just me
[Vibrant General] cthach11:
I live in Philly around old city and I constantly pull 3mbps down and 1 mbps up. The city is where its at.

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
NANDROID completely crippled my speed. I restored from a NANDROID backup and it ****ed up everything. Not sure if it was the lagfix I removed prior but either way, restore with ODIN to JI2.
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
See, I'm still on the stock rom though, so I wonder if it was the lag fix. I may try reversing the lag fix, than retesting to see if it is any better.
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
Well, I just got home, (I live about 10 miles from work, which is where I did my last test) and now I am pulling 3 mbps down and 1 mbps up....no changes at all to my phone. Makes me wonder if it's a network issue. I tested my wifes vibrant (which is still 100% stock) and it was only pulling .88 mbps down and .90 mbps up....

*Boggle*
[Vibrant General] techboydino:
I never applied any lag fix mainly because Eugene's roms are fast enough and I give a damn about benchmarks. My first nandroid has a record of my speedtest, just cant reproduce the speeds.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
It may just be a network issue. I live in Seattle and usually pull over three downtown, but occasionally it'll force me over to Edge, then an hour later I'll be back on 3G. What sucks for me though is I can only pull about 1.5 - 1.8 in my apartment, but literally two blocks away I can pull 5-6 consistently.

tmobile speeds on the vibrant is absolutely horrible in north Philadelphia. I get like 999k or 1gb download if i hold it in the air. When I used the hd2 rooted with android, I got like 2 to 3 gb.. so it's obviously the phone not being a good signal/data grabber. It's samsung's fault.. Nobody had better reception that Motorola in my opinion.. their phones always get good reception. Just my opinion through testing
[Vibrant General] techboydino:
Just got off a chat with TMO, they said one of the local towers has been down for a while. Im not sure if that makes me feel any better but at least there is a known problem instead of the "everything looks good from here" answer I was expecting. Id rather have a tower down and crappy speeds than crappy speeds with no tower down. just have to wait and see.

Hey,

Wish google maps wouldn't require INTERNET connection and would work offline.

Since this is currently a fact...

Having problems find one. Will appreciate your help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
I doubt Google will add offline feature ever. I have modded Google Maps app and added maps caching (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737119), but you need something for Maps API. I want to mod Maps API as well, but I have many more important things to do right now, so maybe in the future.

Thanks for the reply.

It sounds too good. I'm going to try that.

From you description, I just need to copy the zip folder to SD card.

I'm new to Android, but shouldn't I install any *.apk?

Appreciate your elaboration on installation method.

Another question.

Once it'll be installed, how to store maps in SD card and make google load them offline. When phone connected to the internet, will it take the map offline or from web?

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Ohh, I had mistaken. I wanted to give you this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887

But as I said: this is an app with caching, not Maps API library, so it doesn't give you possibility to cache maps in your own app.

What I did was to get a u.s. based VoIP number and have that route to my cell. While this works to get setup and for dialing via browser or gmail it might not work for dialing out from the cell if the access number won't work where you are. Mine doesn't work from Canada although people dialing my GV number reaches me fine and I can dialout from gmail directly (with a headset). Funny thing is that if I initiate the call from web GV my cell will ring for the call back and it proceeds normally.

okay so back to problem, i watched a video on youtube on how to do it, i would post link but not allowed to :(. i followed it step by step and keep getting problems, i have commented my problems on there but since you guys don't know which video i'm talking about, i'll just state them again.

after doing the lagfix which didnt give me any problems i went to download quadrant and it said i didnt have enough space, i had 5gb i think, so i tried to download a game and same thing happened. i restarted phone and got black screen however i could hear the music in the beginning and the 2 buttons had the lights on.by the way i know the boot animation was removed during the lagfix. i now want to try another method but i was wondering if:

1) why didnt it work, why did i keep getting not enough space

2) i did a factory reset and was wondering if i am supposed to get rid off the mcr scripts before doing another lagfix and if my phone is still rooted because it still has the ninja

i have the international version of the galaxy s and original firmware

This is why t-mobile should tell manufacturers they only want vanilla android phones. They would get updates faster AND they wouldn't need to modify them before release. It would bee cheaper for them and it would make customers happy.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
Yes! This is so not right
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
That's all fine and wonderful, but the Galaxy S wasn't Vanilla on any of the four major US carriers so that doesn't really matter here does it?
[Vibrant General] NickAtNite:
If I remember correctly, the Droid X, Vibrant, and Captivate had release dates that were within a week or two from each other.

Either way, it's pretty sad news to hear the Spain division of Samsung is now claiming the Froyo release to happen around "late October." I wonder what's really going to happen when late October rolls around...."late November?"

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/21/samsung-mobile-spain-pegs-galaxy-s-update-for-late-october/
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
It would hardly make customers happy. If T-Mobile were to deny every handset with a custom UI, they would have what, 2 Android phones? Maybe 3 since 2008?

T-Mobile has been ragged on in the past for being the carrier that never steps up to the plate to offer the latest and greatest phones. They are now starting to come out of that with all of these new Android phones and eventually later this year, Windows Phone 7. Why would they regress?
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
I think he is just trying to say that if T-Mobile insisted that devices be loaded with Vanilla Android than we could get updates faster, not to deny any of the handsets, just tell Samsung, "Hey, our Galaxy S phone needs to be Vanilla Android, Thanks"

So we would still get the killer phones, but with Vanilla Android rather than a custom Android that needs further development after Vanilla is released. (The Plausibility as to the phone manufacturers actually saying "Okay, no problem!" is debatable but I do believe that is what he is getting at.)
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Actually, the Galaxy S OS has never been Vanila. It is modified and locked first by Samsung, then modified again at the behest of the US carriers.

It's basically a mess.

That's why it will take ages to update.

The whole Android open-source idea is being destroyed by both carriers and manufacturers, who modify it enough to be able to lock it and prevent software upgrades, so they can sell the next hardware version to the suckers.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
I've been seeing this opinion more and more and it makes me sad to think that the beautiful (yet idealistic) concept of Android is being corrupted. The OS being fragmented between devices and manufacturers bogging down amazing hardware with unnecessary crap has the potential to seriously harm Android imo.
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
In the traditional sense, you are correct. However, Samsung has taken a different approach in regards to their Android offerings. I would hazard to say that it isn't actually "locked" by Samsung, as you put it. Maybe a little by T-Mobile.

However, Samsung has made it clear that they are supporting the development community. The source code for each US variant is available as a free download on their website. Rooting the device was intentionally left open by Samsung (although T-Mobile might lock it via updates). The carrier unlock codes are blatantly available on the device if you know where to look, and there is even an app that will give it to you for free with no effort. They have opened up multiple channels for support (Twitter, Facebook, phone, website) for it's users and even respond to development questions. I've even seen a couple of reports of Samsung support helping people out who have bricked devices.

In a sense, Samsung has become the most open Android handset manufacturer. Doesn't sound to me that Samsung has gone to great lengths to "lock" the Galaxy S out of development, as you put it.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I've read it a few times before about Froyo for the Vibrant not coming until the G2 is released, which isn't too far away. But then "rumor"(i know, rumors aren't always true), Samsung will release a Galaxy Slider phone and skip 2.2 for the Vibrant and push everyone to G2 or the new Galaxy phone.. I hope this isn't the case.
[Vibrant General] monsta34:
I think tmobile will release froyo after they see how the g2 does on the market... Because the vibrant is a beast without it, so just imagine what it will be like with it. The g2 might not do that great with vibrant running froyo... Imo :p
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
Two very different phones. G2 is going to be the next dev phone. Vanilla android. It will get the updates first. It will likely run MUCH faster than it's specs would indicate (see G1) because it will be optimized. Also, it has a keyboard.

Vibrant has a Samsung SAMOLED display and, currently, the fasted GPU out.

There may be fewer people who jump to the G2 from a Vibrant if it got Froyo now, but I cannot imagine it would impact those who don't have a Vibrant now. The majority of users really couldn't tell the difference, and many T-mobile sales reps in the stores wouldn't be able to inform them. The 1% of the Android community that comes here doesn't mean anything to T-mobile especially since these are likely the same people who optimize their bills to pay the least amount possible.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
I doubt it, I don't even think Tmobile know that difference between Eclair and Froyo, they will just be confused as to why we are talking about deserts.. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Dragoth12:
I thought I read that Google was removing the ability (or restricting?) to customize Gingerbread when they release it, basically unifying the device platform across the board so if you had 3.0 or greater, it was all the same vanilla android without custom carrier and/or device modifications. If that is the case, than obviously even Google has seen the butchery of their original concept and are looking to rectify it. (End User's would still be able to mod the hell out of it I'm sure, but they wouldn't allow device Manufacturers and carriers to modify the OS right from the get go).

I could be wrong, I have read a lot of stuff lately lol...
