[Android Software Development] Tableuraz:
Hi, I just got an Idea (eurêka effect) I though that an application for app sharing via Bluetooth would be nice, I explain, I saw that the 3DS has some capability to share it's stored scores and data with an other 3DS passing on the street for example.

I "stored" it in my mind thinking about the use of that, then suddently it came in my mind, why would our Android phones not do the same, sharing apps and scores (free apps of course) with any Android device passing near to us, via bluetooth or Wifi or any other connection, that would make the feeling of being part of a comunity stonger than before, it would be nice to have, for exemple, when you turn your phone on "Somebody (name of the guy or pseudonyme) had 9000 at Angry birds (for example) can you beat him?"

or "somebody have that application, would you like to have it?" syncing games for example would be great as I (and certainly a lot of poeple) am always looking for new games for my HD2 :rolleyes:

What do you think of that? Would it be possible?
[Android Software Development] keemyb:
I'm not a developer but wouldn't you have to decode every games data (leaderboards) if you want to support them?

Have you ever heard of Bump?
[Android Software Development] Tableuraz:
Oh cool ^_^

No, I didn't know this app but I think I'll test it as soon as I have an LG Optimus 2x (out the 21 of february, can't wait :D)
[Android Software Development] Amdathlonuk:
From what I've used with Bump, it only sends a link to the app on the market, not the actual app?

It sends photos and music fine though, again from what I remember....

When botting WP7 hold vol up and down then vol down do a hard reset with the memory in it you gonna have to do eveything again but you wont have to istallled it
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] saragene:
so if i do that reset will i be back to a win6.5 phone or will it have saved the win7 os & hspl files etc.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Gustopher:
You are effectively doing a factory reset of WP7 so it will boot to a virgin copy of WP7.

As to whether you could replace the SD card and have it work properly from a hard reset, not sure. I know WP7 seems to use the card as an extension to the file system but I'd have thought that it did this as part of the install process so if you find a card that plays nicely with WP7 you'd still need to reinstall. Not certain though.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
gotta say.. its nice..

My buddy FINALLY got an Android phone. The G2. He decided on that over the Sprint Evo Shift 4g.

The phone is built quality. I like the way '4g' utilizes the 3g radio, and not a separate radio to toggle. Automatically switches to the faster network.

4g tests, both had full bars. The Sprint 4g was consistently faster by alot, 6.5mps vs 2.5mps although on 2 occasions the Tmo 4g reached 6.5mps as well. Latency was consistently much lower on Tmo.

The keyboard, it took the epic for me to take interest in keyboards again (after horror of PPC6700/PPC6800-mogul) Quite a different feel in the buttons. They are big, although the overall footprint is smaller than the Epic's. And they are mushy feeling. I feel a harder button reacts faster for quick button mashing style texting.

At least for me. But is something I could get used to. The hinge I do no see to be a problem at all either.

The phone itself is a little weighty. But that goes hand in hand with the strong industrial feel. The use of metal vs plastic feels of quality build. Makes you feel like it will break you, before you break it.

Screen size 3.7in Super-TFT, as coming from the mammoth Evo's 4.3in screen foundation, down to the pretty 4.0in found in the Epic; I didn't miss it. Those of you spoiled by the Samoled, one thing you wouldn't get over are the black levels. Not nearly as breathtaking..

800Mhz was pretty quick in stock form. Didnt notice a difference between the Evo or Epic's powerplant while stabbing at the screen and instantly having a reaction.

Charging time. Typical HTC, utilizing fast charge system. Noticeable much faster charging system than what is implemented in the Samsung Epic. Placement of the charging port is a bit cumbersome for one-handed use, [protrudes from left of device] as one may find it difficult to manage in the left hand. But when using the slider, the port is located at the bottom now and is free from obstructing your commands.

Compass, sensors, GPS, and magnetic shielding. As expected, the HTC had no problems locking on being inside the home. I have to make mention that the Samsung also had no problem locking on under the same conditions.

The compass in both were accurate, [using the Compass app free in market] but the compass was much more reactive to every movement. Though I suspect the 6 axis accelerometer in the Epic to be reason.

While still using compass, holding the phones side by side resulted in the Epic's compass to completely change course. The Epic is terribly vulnerable to interference, as the G2's compass stayed rock solid. I am willing to bet that this is the result of lack of magnetic shielding.

So there you have it, my impressions of the G2. I find it hard to believe that I will purchase a Samsung mobile device anytime soon. As to me, HTC is still the best manufacture currently of phones out today. Not talking about whats on paper, but under real world use.
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
Nice review, I've been trying to get my brother off the IPHONE 3g and onto Android. The G2 might do it.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
Thank you for that, just wanted to express my experience with the device. But it turned into a review the more I went on lol.

Yes I know its hard to wing off the Iphone users lol.

I admit I am anti-Iphone but its because of facts and opinion, not fanboyisms.

But my bud always had the candy bar phones from cricket, sprint, tmo, and he always could not understand why I am on my phone so much. This was even back when I had the mogul, diamond, hero etc.

its been growing on him after I have shown him things on the Evo and Epic. He admitted its cool, but he would never use all that. He just needs a phone to make calls and text he stated. The Epic really did a number on him because he know how I wireless tether, how pretty the screen is etc and wanted a phone to do all that now lol.

He first decided to get the android device from Cricket, the Ascend, and was curious if it could do at least half of what mine did. Well the very spotty coverage shot that out lol. The reason he is not on Sprint with the Shift, is because he didnt wanna spend the extra money of of pocket (rebate)

But even at that, he is paying off the phone monthy like 20$ <- you can beat Tmo with payment plans for phones. Wished Sprint did this.

My bud is super happy, never puts the phone down lol. I am glad to be such an influence.
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Nice review man... I like to see our phones compared with others even though it seems to loose this one with the build quality and such... good job.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
Maybe you should review the phone again and post it on youtube. My brother also has a ifail damn I mean iphone 3something. He can't stand the fact that android beats its in every way. Between the evo and epic kinda hard to say which phone truly owns the iphone
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
definetly the epic apple sucks... and im not a fanboy I've had 3 ipod touches and in order to stand them I have to jailbreak with android you can do a lot more without rooting.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
Thanks for the kind words

I've never uploaded a video of me talking lol but I will practice while I give it thought
[Epic 4G General] Hasseo:
I'd honestly say that the Epic owns pretty much every other phone...

... except for the build quality, support, and just the manufacturer in general. I must say that I love my phone. But, the GPS not working, the keyboard missing keys, and the crappy support just KILLS it.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
I owned Htc MTS3gs and 2 samsumgs(Epic and Behold 2),i gotta say that from that expirience Samsung has better hardware and phones feel more solid,but MTS3Gs was so snappy and lag free for a 600mhz phone it was amazing even with Sense.

2G is only 3.7 screen and no Amoled so its no go for me.Until htc starts making Amoled screens im not fckin with them-i refuse to use regular lcd phone even if it has dual cpu and nvidia.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
I got tired of my Epic missing keystrokes and Sprint's flaky 4G service so I switched to the G2.. Much happier. Here in Atlanta, HSPA+ is a steady 6mbps indoors and out, and like you said the latency is much lower.

If you want to jump ship to TMobile, this phone is being offered free with contract (I think) so it's definitely a good deal.

After dealing with the Moment and then the Epic's problems, I've gotta say that HTC is simply the better choice.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
Thanks for that. I posted this morning, on my FB this: Debating ending my 8yr relationship with Sprint, and starting up TMO? I ended up with 58 replies in that thread. Yes I know I will miss the pretty screen, the hummingbird etc. but the G2 felt fast too. plus it can be OC beyond hell, takes advantage of JIT, Dev support etc.. its looking mighty fine lol

I gotta friend thats gonna hook me up with a good deal when i switch. gonna pickup the mytouch 4g for the baby mamma, and g2 for myself. BUT I will be back on the Sammy Vibrant 4G when that releases as it will utilized the UPGRADED HSPA+ 21mbps (and later on 41mbps)
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
Nice review, it is a nice phone. Just some input from a former Nexus One T-Mobile user. I absolutely loved my Nexus One but just could not put up with T mobiles spotty coverage hear in South Florida. It was almost unbearable. I truly believe carrier coverages vary from region to region but here in South Florida T Mobiles coverage was super spotty. Sprint coverage down here is definitely much better but I would love to see how the new T Mobile 4g coverage performs because Sprints 4g coverage is horrible! My phone is constantly going from 3g to 4g down here. Very annoying!
[Epic 4G General] drakkahn:
Nice review.

I actually bought the G2 the day it released(it's early release) and I loved it...Honestly the only unappealing thing I can think of is the screen quality compared to the Epic. Nothing beats the epics screen. But the G2 Blows the EVO away IMHO.

Unfortunately I seem to live in a t-mobile black hole and couldn't stand not being able to use the phone at home so I turned it in and got the Epic.

I do miss that phone...
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
thanks for the input! where I live at home I get badass coverage for 4g with Sprint.

now very true, the coverage is verrrrry spotty.. it works here and there in a 0.2 mile difference in distance.. even look up the coverage map and that even shows it.. I will have 14 days to decide TMO works for my needs, where I live and around. (also hate that 4g drops on the epic under load)
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
thank you sir,

yeah it will suck adjusting to the screen. also the camcorder quality I will cry over. I had the Evo release day. if you say it trumps the Evo then thats good..
[Epic 4G General] aikonix:
The only thing I hate about T-Mobile is the fact they don't offer unlimited data... they offer up to 5gbs.... so weak
[Android Apps and Games] ubuntujason:
hey all~

so i know i'm still a newbie, and hope i'm just missing something here but i have an annoying problem with my contact list.

i'm on a non-rooted samsung captivate galaxy s. i have my contacts copied from my SIM card to my phone and i have contact sync turned OFF for my google account [i have tried with it turned on as well and have the same issue]

no matter what method i use to add a contact to a group, 9 times out of 10 they disappear. [with the exception of the favorite group]

i have tried adding straight from the group management, from the contact card, when creating a contact, when creating a contact group.

initially the contact will show up in the group, but within an hour they disappear.

i have tried using different contact managers, megroups etc and always have the same issue....any ideas or fixes? [i have text msg's i need to send weekly to different groups and it would be much easier to have them actually sorted in groups lol]

thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Ashvsaod:
Not fullscreen on galaxy tab. Uncool.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Doesn't mean you should 1 star them.
[Android Apps and Games] raymond4:
I don't see this game on the android market
[Android Apps and Games] Ashvsaod:
Yes it does. It isn't right for my android device. If they fix it I will adjust rating. Seems perfectly fair to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Anderdroid:
Because they have no way to block it from showing up on the Market to a crippled Tablet running Froyo. 1 star the Android market for not allowing them to block your device completely. 1 star Samsung for probably never giving you Honeycomb which supports the "xlargescreen" in the Manifest.

The Android market is targeted at phones. Not tablets.

You know all that talk about fragmentation? Galaxy Tab (not a real tablet) users and HTC Wildfire (no GPU) users that 1 star apps because of their crippled phones screw with the ratings, thus making the fragmentation idea that developers have keeping them from developing for Android.
[Android Apps and Games] musashiken:
Yeah games are also about gameplay too. One-starring something because it doesn't work in the first place is not a proper review.

People affected should not even click on the ratings. They should email straight to the developer for support.
[Android Apps and Games] BlackJack313:
I remember playing this game on my iPod classic a few years back, thanks for the heads up :D
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
As a developer (one free game in the market so far) and an avid Android user I must say I'm inclined to side with Ashvsaod. One star is a bit harsh - maybe 2 or 3 tops is more suitable but I understand him nevertheless.

As a developer, if you can't make it work, you should at least point out in the description that it doesn't work with tabs, period. Even more so in a 7 bucks game!

But to be honest I don't think it's that hard to make it work either. My game supports 2.1 and up and it works full screen on the tab (there was basically one programmer working on it for a few months in his spare time - so it ain't the complicated). Even without the xlarge tags you can still query the screen size in the code and make adjustment. I don't think it's justified to blame the platform for their inability to make it work.

But that's besides the point. The main point is that ff a damn expensive app doesn't work on Tabs (which are a rapidly growing chunk of the android sales) it should be mentioned clearly.
[Android Apps and Games] Lothaen:
Nice to see some bigger developers pushing out games for Android for once and not sticking with the iStuff
[Android Apps and Games] jgittins:
The ratings and comments should be used for reviews not bug reports.
[Android Apps and Games] lostintime7:
I bought it for the sole fact that I can hope to see more, and hopefully original games from them on Android!
[Android Apps and Games] SilentMobius:
Nonsense, handling screen scaling is _trivial_ under android and has been since 1.6. Absolute sizing is just lazy iPhone-like development. Failing to take into account the best practices of the platform if precisely what low-star scores are for.
[Android Apps and Games] bongd:
I suppose this is valid. However, I opt to contact the developer first before lamenting in a Reviews section that not a lot of them may care to review due to emotionally charged ratings anyway.

I've had a ton of success by contacting the devs. They're usually so courteous and modest, as well as thankful that I actually advised them of a bug as opposed to just leaving negative feedback. I've left only a few legit 1 stars before and retracted emotionally charged ratings in lieu of contacting the developer. So far, no one has ever turned me down. And I admit that a couple of bug reports were sent with an admittedly douchy tone as well lol :D
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
Huh?

This game seems pretty bad.

Terrible reviews from critics:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/crystal-defenders-r1

http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/crystal-defenders

Average review of 60-ish percent.

Square Enix is great, but this game seems awful. And it's over $7.

Am I missing something? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] kongutoxiclab:
seems the game is quite bad.........
[Android Apps and Games] Enhanced:
Think it would make more sense to compare it the mobile version of the game on a similar platform. Like the version on iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-defenders/id300186798?mt=8

It has 4 stars there as rated by users which I believe is more telling than reviews of the game on a home console. I believe the attitudes of users playing this game on a phone would make more sense than the attitudes of people that are playing a mobile game on a home console.
[Android Apps and Games] benjymous:
People expect more of a console game than of a mobile game?

(Those reviews are for 360, PS3 and Wii ports of an iphone game - of course they don't get fantastic scores!)
[Android Apps and Games] The_R:
I played it on the Wii and did not enjoy it much, but yea, I guess it could be good on a mobile platform.
[Android Apps and Games] Lagspike:
Love SE, hope their output on Android will be at least on par with iOS games they did.
[Android Apps and Games] nitzanj:
Yeah that was kinda my point too. I do think that the rating system isn't the right place to report a bug.

I just think that bad scaling isn't a bug - more like a feature ;)

Bad scaling usually means they decided to ignore it, hence low rating is appropriate IMO.
