[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
So most likely all of you have seen the CES Announcement of Honeycomb. It's built for tablets and looks amazing.

Anyway, according to Paul, based on some interview honeycomb will be available for phones as well as tablets.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904311

And also according to this it won't.

http://androinica.com/2011/01/21/tablets-are-for-honeycomb-not-your-phone/

If it will come out for phones or not isn't my question. There are rumors flying around that honeycomb will require a dual core processor. If this is true, our beloved Nexus One might finally lie down and die (we still haven't gotten a gingerbread ota though).

IF it does come out on phones, and IF it does require a dual core processor, what is the likelihood of a port for the nexus one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
Did you miss All Things D? Andy Rubin himself said there was no min hardware specs and that there would be both a tablet AND a phone version of Honeycomb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
I actually didn't and I've done quite a bit of research on this. Mind sharing a link?

Edit: Never mind, you were talking about the dive into mobile conference. Yeah I saw that. I'm rewatching it now.

Just watched it. The only thing I got out of it is that it will most likely be available for phones. He was choosing his words extremely carefully.

Didn't hear anything about no specs for it to run.

How do you add code to get input fro the back button (i.e. if back button is pressed... then do this)
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
You should press the "thanks" button if want continued help :cool:

@Override

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

...if ( keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {

......//Do something

......return true;

...}

...return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);

}
[Android Software Development] jug6ernaut:
do you mean for back button on a keyboard or the backbutton soft key on most android devices? If its the latter you would override the onBackPresed() function.

@Override
public void onBackPressed()
{
//bla
super.onBackPressed();
}

MOD EDIT: READ THE [REF] before starting new threads!!! ~TheRomMistress (getting very impatient)

Before I give this a try wondering if I go back to Virtuous 8.1 vs. 9 is there any compatibilty issues

I do not want to do a full wipe because one program I use is for work, and Good for Enterprise and I will need to reset the configuration with new pw's etc. Trying to avoid this.

Thoughts??
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
so are you trying to go back to 8.1 or go to 9? if you are going to 9, you HAVE and NEED to wipe because there will be issues if you dont. i know its not something you want to go, but if you are going to a completely new version you need to wipe because the RUU is different than the last. as far as version .9, its rather beautiful and i hardly can find a single flaw.

if you want to learn more on with the rom, mosey on over to the virtuous thread.

[Windows Phone 7 General] demize!:
I posted this in the HD7 board but didn't get much feedback, so I'm reposting it here.

Ok guys I have a Samsung Vibrant, running a Team Whiskey rom and am pretty active in that forum, but I'd like to hear some input on plusses and minuses of this OS compared to Android. I've been solely android since G1 and was a Windows mobile user prior to that, Wing, so Tmo. I have an opportunity to get this device and just wanted some friendly input. Just a side note I've handled that device and I'm in love with the form factor. Also 2 core Androids are around the corner so I need some convincing. Thanks in advance.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
WP7 just works. You dont have to add any additional bloatware and mod the hell out of it just to get a functional phone. It works out of the box. I've had to do a battery pull once and I have 5 WP7 devices. Also dual-core or not android will still have a lot more lag and fragmentation due to a UI thats not GPU accelerated so android just seems ridiculously slow by comparison. The market isnt as big yet (of course) but what we do have is quality. You dont have to wade through 1000s of girls in bikini wallpaper apps just to ind a gem. All in all its a matter of quality over quantity, android was meant to be a low end UI and putting it on upper end devices is just.... overkill..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Here are a few reasons why I think that WP7 is awesome:

Multiple hardware options.

Xbox Live integration.

No stupid extra UI skins.

Optimized hardware and software.

Awesome UI.

Cheap but good applications.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I use WP7 after big struggle - which OS to choose after WM6.5

And I also tested Android.

Why did I choose WP7?

Well, mostly because UI is very stable, superfluid and doesn't have annoying amount of graphic elements and colours. It is intuitive and organic. From this perspective this is what I was waiting for.

The other factors for me were: mostly excellent email client, built in Office with OneNote integrated online, sync with Hotmail/WLive which I use for years, integation with Outlook.

As you will look at this forum, huge amount of things are also missing on WP7.

In my case, I am willing to stay with WP7 only if MS will bring soon things which make this OS simply ridiculous right now. I can wait because what is on WP7 is often brilliant.

But the current set of features and limitations is make me observe the market. If in few months situation will not change vastly or we won't have a serious roadmap of improvements, I will be forced to shift to Android. SE Arc is very encouraging, and Android offers much much more in some areas.

I hope that helps a bit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
WP7 works well when accept a crapton of defficiencies and limitations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TurboTsi:
Things I don't like about windows phone 7.

1. No multitasking. Takes too long to switch between applications. Every application has to reload all the time which is time consuming.

2. Sometimes when you hit back in IE, it takes you out of the app, instead of the previous page.

3. Marketplace is still lacking. The developers are charging way too much for their apps. Everything is expensive. It seems like every developer is just trying to make a quick buck which I don't mind if the application is deserving, but I see a lot of crap simple apps that are paid.

4. No separate volume controls for regular ringer and media volume.

5. No flash, period.

6. Xbox live games are not Xbox live games that you can multiplayer with (exception being UNO). The only benefit of the games is achievements, the graphics are good but not xbla good. They're not even the same game as in the Xbox. For example ilomilo is two different versions from what I can tell.

7. Bing maps does not hold a candle to Google maps. It won't reroute your directions if you take a wrong turn.

This brought absolutely nothing to the table except possibly making you feel better by venting. Please, keep this thread civil and productive. The other threads have been on point and positive, let's keep it this way so we don't get this thread shut down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Talk about irony, you just did the exact same thing. However what he stated brought something to the table, yours however didn't.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Really????

I have seen 4 of these threads shut down because they got hijacked. Comments like the one quoted started the hijacking. I'll say no more but watch this closely to make sure that it doesn't become the fifth shut down by the mods. I learned a great deal from the other four and was really upset that a couple of WP haters caused the threads to be shut down. My choice was between an Android and WP7 device, coming from a WM6.5. I want to hear what others thought when they made their decisions.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
The same could be said about any OS. I do prefer no C&P and no multi-tasking to fragmentation and no GPU accelerated UI. I call that a fair trade-off
[Windows Phone 7 General] thegreenmachine:
I have used WP7 for about two months until I went back to Android and I give nothing but recognition to the baby OS. Out of the box, like many have said, "It just works." WP7 with social integration is probably the best you'll see out of any phone. Their facebook "app" totally outpaces Android's. The lag on the OS is practically non-existent and it truly offers the "put down your phone and enjoy life" slogan. You don't need custom ROMS, blah blah, etc to have the phone perform at full functionality. For things such as copy and paste, I've never used it on a phone and for me it's not a factor, maybe for someone else though.

If you've used Android before and are converting to WP7, you might miss a lot of things such as the choice to have your own background, different launchers such as Launcher Pro, ADW and your choice of ring-tones. The one thing I didn't like WP7 is the fact that I had to use Zune software to sync my music. I'm the type that likes to plug it into the computer and drag my files without any type of software. Android definitely gives a bigger advantage when it comes to user customization. Maybe in time, MS will let WP7 users do that but as for right now, it's fine if you're not major on backgrounds, ring-tones, etc.

All in all, I like WP7 for what it is and I'm not complaining for it doesn't have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vista1984:
agree,, the system just works,,simple and fast..

minor things need to be fixed or update though

i would think wp7's rival is ios,,not android...ios is also simple and target to the high end user specifically.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
I went from WP7 to Android. My previous phone was a blackberry.

Biggest things I liked about WP7 was how quickly it allowed me to do things. Most apps and tasks felt like a click or two away, and the software keyboard is the best bar none.

On Android the ability to do things is huge, finally got my yahoo im app, google navigator and a market place rich with feature apps. While I feel the android UI is cluttered and ugly it's just stronger in terms of what the phone is capable of. WP7 felt like a lot of wasted power.. it can certainly do more. it's mindboggling why it's so restricted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] demize!:
I thank you all for your input! I'd love to hear more opinions.

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Imaginary Enemy:
WP7 is just F*ing fast! I have an HD2 whose Android ports have been tirelessly worked on since last summer and still STILL WP7 on its first release is smoother, faster, stabler, and more lag free. Even on top android devices (looking at you EVO 4g) Android is filled with lag while our paltry launch devices with their generic parts and arguably thoughtless design run WP7 like a dream. I'll admit that I miss a lot of the features of android (flash, marketplace maturity, copy/paste, tethering), but if you want an OS that works NOW buttery smooth and don't mind waiting a little bit for the awesome extras WP7 is the way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
Just to shut the fragmentation "issues".

I understand for those who live in the US of A fragmentation on WP7 means jack, however the platform was launched internationally.

So let's see

http://andrewtechhelp.com/andrews-tech-opinions/115-windows-phone-7-feature-availability-matrix

So let's assume you are on the platform that is being cursed here as fragmented, do you have a choice on the same platform and the same carrier you are on to get what you need? Is it worse than having a phone in your country outside of US of A and no matter what carrier or manufacture you choose you end up with the same features or lack thereof?

Hi,

Over the past couple of months the development progress on the defy has been amazing but i can't find a rom that i could live on a day to day basis.

I have upgraded previously to the UK2.51.1 which makes me rely on a nandroid restore plus the 2.2 boot.

My ideal rom would have the following:

Froyo 2.2 / 2.2.1 release (in english)

Working 2G / 3G and WIFI control panel

Full Motoblur (inlcuding their universal inbox social stuff)

Working camera that will flash when needed

Working Market.

Does such a thing exist (yet)?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Hey bihariel,

Just installed your rom and the new theme - which looks very nice too. I like the fact that some elements have a colour on them. I just wish that the tick boxes could be blue when ticked and very pale grey when not - is this something that can be altered?

Having applied the new theme, i am still having issues with motoblur. I cannot sign in with an existing account and i also cannot register for a new account.

Any ideas?

He even had a microfiber with him so I could clean it again after I played with it. :D

Wow, all of you guys are spending way too much on your phones. I just picked up my Captivate for $48.88 brand new. Where are you all buying yours?
[Captivate General] agentfusion:
I don't have a MyCSP login anymore since I don't work for at&t anymore, but I can say whole-heartedly the following three things.

One) COR Locations means Corporate Locations, NOT Authorized Dealers/Retailers. You will not be able to do the trade-in at a Best Buy, Radio Shack, Prime Mobile, etc,etc,etc. Only AT&T-owned Locations. (Though some chains, in some areas, do their own Trade-in program.)

Two) You will not get a reasonable amount for your device. The guidelines for when we used a similar system before went something like this: Does it Power On? Is the battery included? Does it have water damage? (Not just the marker on the battery and behind the battery.. there's another marker -inside- the device that you can't get to without breaking factory seals that they will see are broken. Do not try to pass off a water-damaged phone, you WILL get caught) Is it scratched, cracked, damaged, etc beyond normal wear and tear? Is the screen, antenna, hinge,etc broken? (redundant, yes, and drops the value further)

Three) The IMEI will be run through a system that checks it against a database of lost or stolen phones. If you are planning on trading in phones that may have a colored or marked history, I wouldn't. They only accept trade-ins on upgrades/new contracts, which means a credit check with your social security number, home address, etc. Don't be dumb and get yourself arrested, eh?

The system will go something like this:

Captivate

========

Unit Price: $549.99

Trade-in Base: $349

Water Damage: $20

Yeah. Water Damage really would knock $329 off the price.

How do you get water damage? Ever kept your phone in the bathroom while taking a shower? Kept it in your pocket on a hot/humid/sweaty day? Yeah. Condensation sets off the water damage indicator. Seriously.

Beware: You will also have to sign a waiver stating that the device is now property of AT&T, so you will NOT be able to get it back. They do this in case you're switching to AT&T and possibly trading in a Sprint EVO... if you hate AT&T, you're stuck. Sure, you can cancel and return your AT&T phone, but they will refund only the post trade-in purchase price AND you don't get your old phone back, so you're SCREWED.
[Captivate General] agentfusion:
No. They offer that kind of money for the iPhone because they can get a nice chunk of change by sending it back to apple. For the Captivate, they don't get jack from Samsung. (Not even a Samsung Jack!)

The iPhone is a price-locked piece of crap, but Apple -does- give retailers that are authorized to sell the iPhone a pretty big cut on any iPhone they send back regardless of the reason.

Where, exactly, do you think all those refurbs and replacement parts come from? You think Apple fires up an entire assembly line just to manufacture replacement parts with so many dead iPhones floating around? Take a broken iPhone into an Apple store. They will offer you a no-contract iPhone at $200 in exchange for the broken one!
