The only problem with Atrix, but we don't know yet cause there was a post from motorola saying there might change there policy a little for the Atrix , is the locked boot loader but that's all Motorola's any way.

I believe the term "android fragmentation" refers to fragmentation of the software in its many different iterations, not the software being on different handsets for different price brackets.

But you're right, the openness of Android allows people who don't have $500+ to spend on a phone to get an experience not unlike our own.

As mentioned above, iOS has it's place...with people who need large colorful buttons to complete simple tasks (such as toddlers and elementary school children, and the elderly on the other end of the spectrum.) Apple has also made it extremely difficult to screw anything up on an iDevice, making it great for people who have no business around consumer electronics.

Apple's massive sales numbers reflect a few things. Apple has manufactured "coolness", they have made being cool a simple matter of buying a product...from them. If you're not rocking an iDevice, and you're not like us...you aren't cool. These massive numbers also reflect what we've always known. Most people are retarded. How many times has someone you know with an iPhone, iPod, etc...asked you to help them figure something out on the device? I mean...how much more simple can it get and you still can't figure it out? Come on!

My major problem with Apple lies with the actions it takes as a corporation. I could give a **** if someone prefers a phone with a different OS to the one I choose. What bothers me is things like Apple getting 21 different law enforcement agencies involved when a reporter finds a prototype phone in a bar and posts about it on the internet. They turned the man into a criminal, his home and privacy were invaded, computers seized, etc. Or Apple suing the teenager in NY who got some runoff white iPhone 4 parts and sold them as kits on the internet...suing a 16 year old? Come on. This is supposed to be the company thats all cool and hip? No thanks.
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
Nice thing about both is we all have a wide variety of things to choose from. Well with android we have a wide choice with apple you have one choice lol that fits a huge market, the people who can't figure out there tv remote lmao

All the bashing comes just because this was just a stupid post and even more than that lol is the place he decided to post it.

I still wanna know how old the op is. I still say 14-16 years old. As soon as I asked that he disappeared lol

Why would you come to XDA forums and write your so call "opinion" that has no constructive value whatsoever. This is a site where you can express your ideas and display your projects for others to use and have fun with and you decide to post such a meaningless post? In the future go to Iphone Dev's or just post in on FB because when I come on this site I don't want to waste my time reading your meaningless posts.

Baseless opinion... Which manufacturers are under-estimating Apple? Do you have e-mails, internal memos, correspondence where an Android Phone manufacturer is dismissing Apple?

Thanks for the laugh...
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
You're missing a lot. Unlike the hotrodders here at XDA, some people WANT a "walled garden" experience where somebody somewhere has put some careful ground-up thought into every aspect of the design. A typical customer doesn't WANT to learn about flashing ROMs, tweaking kernels etc. They want a device that will "just work" right out of the box that they don't have to maintain or think about.

I'm no Applefanboy either, but I have to admit it's a carefully designed product that a lot of people want.

I am sorry but just works?

You mean rampant dropped calls on all models since inception

Awful call quality on both end

Miserable speaker phone

Specific instruction on how you should hold your phone

No replaceable battery our external memory

And may I add generally slow performance on 3g. Side by side with captivate iphone 4 does not keep up

The iphone is an I touch that makes ****ty phone calls

And as has been mentioned is a great option for low end users who do not know better

The thread is cathartic

love my captivate and would never consider an iphone over it.

Did previously us an 80gb classic for primary mp3 player and carrying movies with and it served me well. Sold it and currently using my captivate as my mp3 player. Even with an added 32gb sd card i do miss the extra storage of my classic but the convenience of carrying and charging one device balances that out.

While itunes is far from perfect i have been using it for 2 years on 64bit system and never had the problem you describe.

I did consider an iphone but noticed they gouge monthly charges on it over the Android or other smart phones. They even have higher insurance preminum on it, so no thanks.
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
Confirmed for either troll, retard, or maybe both.

You do realize that the $199-$299 price for the iPhone includes a contract right? How much is a Captivate on contract? $50 or $100?
[Captivate General] modmyphone:
$199 on launch day
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
Sometimes cheaper than that. Plus he did not list the price of the iphone with out a contact which is extremely high lol

iPhone vs Android debate stops here

I had an iPhone, and yeah it was great to go to the iStore and get it iRepaired. All seriousness aside I bought the android for Flash, the display and removable storage.... Plus I hate iTunes with a passion...One thing I will say is that AT&T help is terrible, they can't handle Android questions at all but big deal, this forum helps me out every time...
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:

[Captivate General] booty hater:
Up until last december Ive been a loyal sheep thinking that the iPhone was the most superior mobile phone device on the market.Ive owned every model of the iPhone(what a model sheep I was!lol) I actually owe the windows 7 phone all the credit for pulling me away from the iphone, good thing it sucked though cause now I have a cappy.

The iPhone now matter what you do to it is boring unless previously stated it will take changes that Im sure apple wont make to make them even remotley as attractive as android devices.

I will say the number 1 problem I personally have with android phones over iphones is Im a device whore and at least the new iphone only comes out once a year.Now that Im an android user I want like 10 phones instead of 1 lol.
[Captivate General] phonex1:
Android lover here, but your claims about iPhone's terrible calling and dropped calls are unfounded. I use an iPhone 4 from time to time (still don't feel like selling it yet) and in the last 6 months it has not dropped a single call. I had no death grip issues either.

If we are going to blame others for making false claims about android and then do the same for iPhone, we are no better than them now are we?

Being objective is the best thing to motivate more competition :)
[Captivate General] Kizzmiazz:
It might not be every iphone with the problem but honestly that's why my wife finally said screw iphone's. She tried two iphone 4's and even got one of the cases that supposedly fixed it and both of them had the death grip problem and yeah I told her to just use her other hand to talk on the phone lol but like she said "hell no, why should I have to change the way I hold my phone to talk to someone. The phone should work no matter how you hold it ! " and I had to agree. And both phones had major dropped calls.

But in defense a couple people at my work have neither problem and a couple of them have the dropped call problem but no death grip problem.

Yeah almost everyone here at workplace who has an iPhone has not complained of death grip or dropped calls yet. Same goes with my friends. Funny thing is, I know two people with captivates and they don't have GPS issues at all and after selling my previous captivate and getting a new one I have good GPS too. Shows that you can't just make a smartphone decision based on hardware only.

The real battle in the smartphone arena is the software. Almost every company nowadays knows the magic hardware formula for a smartphone. It is the software that makes the phone 'smart' and is the only deciding factor in choosing a phone IMO. I know I am excited for the new Pre-3. People can argue all they want for it having a single core processor but WebOS looks so nice and promising!

[Captivate General] Siesta410:
The only thing on my wishlist for android is a GPU accelerated gui. Which is supposed to come in 2.4 and is in 3.0, but we might never see these updates..

I do wish that manufactures made one high/low end phone and then updated it instead of making multiple phones and only updating the latest and newest ones.

These seem to be the only real two problems with android in general. At least for me.

What phone are you using now? I have the galaxy s running at 1.2ghz now so I guess if I add .5 inches to the screen I would have that.... and that would be awesome lol.

Captivate on di11i's 5.6 green using the latest gb oc/uv kernel.The way I look at the infuse is if we can make the cappy's this good imagine what you can do with the infuse.They also have a better processor and I believe more ram.The .5" bigger screen is also awesome.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martybell:
So I've managed to basically brick my HTC Desire whilst attempting to install the Cyanogen ROM via ROM Manager (forgot to wipe my device so it ended up looping at the Cyanogen welcome screen). I then tried to restore my device to the backup ZIP file that I made with ClockworkMod but it didn't work - said file wasn't found when I tried to select it.

From there I tried to factory reset the device from the ClockworkMod Recovery screen, but when I try to boot the device it now get's stuck looping at the white HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.

I've installed the SDK on my Mac and have fastboot recognising my device. Is there a way I can access my SD card using fastboot so I can put a ROM on it and attempt to install it? I don't have a card reader and I'm miles from a store that sells them.

Sorry if my terminology is off - I'm new to this :p

Your help is VERY appreciated!

Marty
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martybell:
Actually the phone isn't even making it to the white HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen now, it's stuck at the O2 Welcome screen.

After reading countless forum posts I think I need to 'flash' the Desire with another ROM that includes A2SD - I just need to get the ROM onto my SD card via Fastboot (since I don't have a card reader).

Does that sound about right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Qinjo:
I have the same problem with my tattoo!

Whats really annoying is that before uppgarding to recovery 3.0.0.6 with RomManager this was not an issue 'cause the previous recovery I was using(green) had the option to connect and access the SD card with PC USBcable.

I tried in 3.0.0.6:

Mounts and storage menu:

mount sdcard

mount USB storage

Still ain't seeing my SD card on my laptop.

Being on a remote island right now I hope I can find someone here with a microSD card phone with USB cable that I can borrow to load a working ROM on my fuc***** SD card .:mad::(:confused::confused:

Found it in for HTC Desire http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=742379

but tried it on our Optimus One and it worked.

Root access is required else you will get a "killed" reply

Majority, not all apps will have the button enabled.

Always backup your phone (nandroid) before trying anything.

You will need terminal

Download Terminal Emulator from Market. (or any terminal software)

type the command below

su
pm setInstallLocation 2

if you see "[1] Killed pm setInstallLocation 2" means it didn't work

if it replies with "#" means it worked.

now open up settings->manage application and check out which applications have the move to SD enabled.

NOTE: SD card loads slower than the phone. So you will need to know what can be moved and what is better left in the phone. If an essential app is required on boot and the file cannot be found because it is on SD (which isn't loaded yet) you might run into some problems.

Some apps like Facebook can't be moved to SD.

Yes, I know there is A2SD it I can't get it to work on stock rom so this is my other alternative.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ljubisa_sk:
Or you can just install "Move2SD Enabler" from market.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
I most likely will NOT go for the Samsung Nexus 2, solely because it's NOT a Google Developer Phone.

I was pretty upset when the Nexus title went to a Samsung device. I've got nothing against Samsung, but I think that Google should have stuck with HTC as their Android Dev Phone manufacturer.

The Nexus "X" line of Android phones should stay with ONE manufacturer.

Motorola should have the entire Droid line of phones, just as HTC has the entire line of MyTouch phones.

Just my dos-centavos :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richiehd:
Wasn't the plan for the NS to be the next developer phone? Just because it's not HTC doesn't mean it's not going to be good. Google most likely has their thumb on this phone to make sure everything goes as THEY want it to. I don't see Samsung messing this up with Google taking care of the updates. All the software is being updated through google.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamUserInterface:
If the NS is going to be given all the new software updates before the N1, I think there's a really good chance that N1 ROM devs will move to the NS.

Even if it doesn't, though, the NS will definitely get a wide range of XDA support solely because it's a Google phone.

Personally, I was going to hold off on getting the NS to find a better successor to my N1, but then I heard rumors that Samsung scrapped the original model to make it a dual-core...so maybe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
Ofcourse it will, because its the latest Google phone. And nexus1 will lost a lot of support, because most people will move to Google's latest phone - Nexus S.

When it is released Google will be using the device for future Android development, the Nexus One will be pushed aside.

We know its the next "google" phone. People seem to be unsure whether it will be officially a "developer" phone.
