[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The iPad is not a smartphone, it's a tablet. The two aren't interchangeable.

Smartphones outsell PCs because PCs have longer shelflife than smartphones. There's nothing odd about that. A 6 year old P4 computer can run Windows 7 flawlessly. A 2 year old Android phone has major issues trying to run the latest update, if it can run it at all. Someone who upgrades their PC every 3 years may upgrade their smartphone every 1 year... Netbooks are generally not worth upgrading unless huge advances are made in another model (i.e. bigger battery, 2GB RAM, much larger Hard Drive, etc.) but that doesn't tend to happen often... So people who felt they needed a netbook probably bought one a year ago, and won't upgrade until next year, and when they do there's a 50% chance they'll either upgrade to a 11.6" NOTEbook (if they need a real computer) or a tablet (if they just want Tablet Apps and Content Consumption + web browsing and email).

Windows Mobile failed becasue of it's UI, performance, and robustness/stability.

There's a reason why Honeycomb is "designed for tablet PCs" while they're just backporting features to Gingerbread, instead of just running the OS on the phones.

You think it's JUST BECAUSE it's designed for larger hi-res screens? When Windows CD ran on anything from a Blackberry Curve-type screen to 10.1"+ netbook/laptop/desktop class screens? Please say no.

People are running their business form iPads because the Apps exist and iOS has support for the necessary technologies they need (Push Notifications, Exchange ActiveSync, etc.), not because it suddenly morphed into some desktop class PC for small-screen devices.

If you seriously think Apple would cannibalize Mac/MacOSX sales with an iOS tablet you need to learn a thing or two about business. Apple continues to make their MacBooks smaller and lighter precisely because they aren't targetting iOS towards people who need a desktop-class operating system. Those people will get a MacBook, Netbook, Notebook, or desktop and move on...

Smartphones and Tablets aren't attacking Desktops and notebooks. They're primarily attacking netbooks - which generally aren't used for things that people who actually need a PC use the PC for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] beesneazy:
The iPad might as well be a giant iPhone sans specific features. And what Android phones? The oldest, G1 is still doing people solid and getting the job done for some ... and apart from that you speak like most Android phones are over that many years old .... be real. Also, you know what the current number of handset devices are in 2.X? That means the majority are "up to date." And the people with the old phones anyways are like people complaining about old iPhones .... time marches on ... people want to label Android as leaving devices behind when this has been the norm and a natural occurrence with all sorts of devices in various fields. You people cling on to every and last argument like it actually has a bearing on your life. Get over it.

And trickery about removing bloatware? Most one click root methods are available for phones ... step 1, done. Then, use a standard app to remove an app, step 2 done, son. Simple. For **** sake ... make it sound harder. And if people could power on their phone and decide to start immediately deleting apps then they'd probably delete a resource they needed. I'm sorry, but reading a paragraph before you do ANYTHING CONCERNING A HARDWARE PURCHASE should NOT be scoffed at.

Congrats, you are commending a phone designed fke simpletons ... get in get out. If you want a feature phone meant for simplicity then buy one.

Was Android too hard for you?

I'm surprised about the nondock chargeer. didn't know that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
n8ter-

one of the guys @ work has a g1 with noow battery cover and duct tape holding the screen/battery on... it runs gingerbread fine. you would lol @ it, maybe, I sure did. its not difficult to upgrade software like this, I dropped some gb on the kids g1 yesterday. they like the scrolling bounce/edge flash. whatever. :-)

if/when the hardware of wp7 is deprecated, will wp8 be allowed to work on the current beta devices " I soubt it. something to think about.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Eh, I don't see why not. I mean if its uniformity across devices then it should be no trouble to update and I doubt there will be an OS that has trouble running on a 1g processor any time soon. If they can just send out the same update to all phones then why not?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That doesn't matter. By the time these phones are "deprecated," the users will be ready to upgrade because their contracts will be running out.

Which is the completely opposite form Android, which is on a 6 month release cycle and virtually ensures that your phone will be 2-3 versions behind the latest - unless you brought an off-contract Nexus phone and the Nexus S isn't looking too enticing...

The only way to upgrade, is to hack your phone or buy a new phone.

Won't have to worry about that with WP7.

Keep talking, though. You're making a great case for Microsoft.

Please explain the terminology "beta devices." IIRC the HD2 and Nexus One used similar hardware to the launch WP7 devices, no? Devices in beta for over a year sound like quite an innovation for Microsoft and its manufacturer partners...

Is your Nexus One a beta phone?

And sorry, but the latest Android OSes do not work flawlessly on a G1. Far from it. There's absolutely no reason to even be using that phone these days... It isn't worth anything, anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] El Mono:
I'll let the experts argue over the pro's and con's of the various operating systems... and the "merits" of flash support. I currently have a Galaxy S running Froyo and a Focus (which seems like a Galaxy S) running WP7 (obviously). I love them both - limitations notwithstanding.

I miss not having Lexicomp/Skyscape and CoPilot/Navigon on my Focus. But the OS just seems so much more polished/refined than Android. Some will dismiss this as mere eye candy - say what you will. Besides, I can always pull my sim card out and switch back when and if I so choose(at least I think I can).

The short answer is I think both have something to offer. No negativity towards either from me. That's my pointless contribution.

El Mono

P.S. Also miss Pocket Informant. Android version is nice, but not what the old PPC version was... yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
after using the n1, with its poor signal issues, yes I would call it a beta phone. just like antennae gate for iphone.

the g1 still has value, only 1/2 what it was at launch in dollars and sense for resale... but it still runs the latest android os nicely. perfect ? no, there is no such thing. perfect is not possible.

the case you believe I'm maling for microsoft and for wp7 and unified updates, all at once vs flashing/hacking android is currently very questionable, as seen playing out on forums: not all at once, not all phones, not trouble free.

I really don't have a problem with downloading an 89Mb zip and flashing it. its worked the last 100 or so times on 5 different models of phones. ill assume wp7 fails at this because of registry tweaks or some other user inspired hacks. I will confirm my happiness in not ever having to use regedit again... or recompile a kernel (gentoo) for simple functionality fixes. I can also. still painfully remember the angst of rebooting an xp/vista machine after an update and wondering how many reboots, drivers, subsequent uodates would be needed. ugh, never again. (mac os now baby)

I got my Dell Venue and I found a folder in /data/systemlog which got a hundred megabytes of log (logging start from the first day I use).

Do anyone know how and where to perform log rotation (just like linux logrotate)?

I found two services are running, which should be related to the logging:

LogMaster2 com.oem.log

LogService com.oem.logservice

While in the init.rc, I found few lines which create the "systemlog" folder:

#Shuli, create system log folders.

mkdir /data/systemlog 0777 root root

mkdir /data/systemlog/wakelock 0777 root root

mkdir /data/sysstemlog/kwakelock 0777 root root

I don't know which process is running so that it keep writing the log without delete the old one regularly. That's eat all my space. Thanks!

So when I'm watching movies (I think only movies with AC3 sound) and I'm wearing headphones, the spoken dialog is sooooooooooooooooooooo low to the point that you can barely hear it, so when I go into the sound settings and change the balance to +16 (From 0), it becomes much better but I can only hear the dialog from out of one ear now. Anyone experience this?

I just got my A7 Elocity and been trying to get it to reconize my Linksys wireless router I use in my home. SO far it is not reconizing it, my other tablet and wii does. It has done the scanning thing but still won't reconize it. Do I need to buy another wireless box? This one I got is several years old but has worked for everything except my wireless printer. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Brenda aka Mysterychi
[A7 Themes and Apps] 5[Strogino]:
Check how configured wireless network in your router.

- Don't use WEP keys - Android doesn't like it.

- Check wifi channel number - it must be not greater than 11

- Temporary try reconfigure your wifi-network to open mode (if it works, so add some security)
[A7 Themes and Apps] t_sandat8:
I purchased mine back on feb 1 I had same problem. My A7 was stuck in some kinda loop going back and forth from searching, authinticating, connected, and disconnecting the wifi. Once I did the firmware update from elocity it bingo no problems since. I think you need to just install the firmware from elocity support page.

As WEP is so easy to break, give a shot using WPA2. I'm using a Cisco Valet and my tabs connect beautifully. Usually just using g but the throughput is dandy.

It looks like you've put .rar files in the andboot folder. You need to extract them and put the androidinstall.tgz or androidinstall.tar file there instead. Same for the androidupdate.tgz or androidupdate.tar
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
Did you create the partitions on the sd?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Snappaz:
they are not rar files, Winrar can open TGZ/TAR files, that's why you see the winrar icons.

I don't have partitions on the sd card, i can't create them in Windows or with partition master?

EDIT: I did partition the sd card with ubuntu live cd, they are both FAT32.

Did the whole thing again, made new files etc.

Only now if I hold camera en power button, I only get tri color, no option to flash. (I see the gray flash screen for a sec, then it dissapears.!

EDIT2: Flashed phone with original ROM, now it work with wm again.

If I nou try to hold camera and power button I will get exact the same error. (Hanging in tri color screengray flash screen voor 1 sec, then it returns to tri color.)

I'm spending the whole day to get this working and it didn't work.

My steps:

Atools:

Device: Kaiser

Reso: 240*320

Version: Froyo

Key Map: Normal

Cpu overclock: 520 Mhz

FStab> System AUTO > Data SD Partition P2>Swap> SD Partition 3

Save NBH File as KAISIMG.NBH in root of SD card

Mixer:

Add install: androidinstall froyo 2.2

Downloading Module update

Extracting Files

Make Map in Root of SD card with name: 'andboot'

Bootscript editor:

System > NAND p2

DATA> NAND p3

Actions:

Install system

Fix permission

Clear Davik Cache

Use SD partitioner

Disk options

Disk size 8GB

Number of partitions: 2

Fs Type: fat32

Size: 1024

What is going wrong??

Next time wait, a post like "someone that can help?" it's unuseful, this is xda-

developers

(DEVELOPERS).

Change the thread with a more correct title.

the problem is simple:

FStab> System AUTO > Data SD Partition P2>Swap> SD Partition 3

mean:

install system on nand p2

install data on

sd partition 2

use swap on sd parition 3

but in BSE you select:

System > NAND p2

DATA>

NAND p3

So do you want data on nand p3 or sd partition 2?

Also:

- sd partition 2 isn't formatted in ext2 and the script didn't format it (if you have selected NAND p3)

- you didn't create a swap partition

I think that you have to wait and think before asking or you look like a stupid
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Snappaz:
Still didn't work after I followed your steps.

If I'm right the best is to install system and data on NAND, because it would be faster?

I created 2 partitions again.

First one = FAT32

Second one = EXT2

They are both 3.70GB

I've put my SD card in a rar file and uploaded it.

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at it.

you didn't create a swap partition so set it to auto in atools or create one.

don't close atools, go to bse select first install(only first install), save install-seq.sh

put the files in correct location and flash the phone, reset and wait.

i have an xperia x10 and iphone 3g both rooted and jailbroken

i have a ethernet "internet" connection at laptop on windows 7

i have made an ad hoc wifi connection on my laptop to use my internet connection with both xperia and iphone.

when i open the wifi of iphone it searches and displays my ad hoc connection . it connects well and does well .

but when i try to connect through my xperia.

1st it showed unable to scan network

which i resolved by rooting.

but now when my xperia scans for open networks...

it displays all other networks in my surrounding areas my neighbours etc...

but does not show the wifi connection of my laptop.

tried to manually add the network

but in vain.

in summary i phone recieves and works on adhoc connection but xperia does not

any advices ?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiefels:
Ok so I'm not really clued up on this so forgive any seemingly stupid comments.

My first thing I have to ask is why do you have to ad-hoc your internet to your phones when you can just use your computer to download stuff then up load them via itunes or stick them on the x10's memory card.

Second thing is...X10 2.1 doesn't cater for tethering or internet connection sharing so you will have to

a) Buy a new phone because SE won't release bootloader sources n codes to allow custom roms to be flashed and make full use of hardware.

b) Use the workaround ROMS by using a ported rom that has been adapted to work on SE x10 firmwares. Plenty of info in the forum as you are well aware.

the 2.2 beta 4 has tethering and I think it works.

As a stock 2.1 firmware, connecting to your PC just allows access to files on your memory card.

P.S When the X10 is SCANNING for networks it is using WIFI. That is why it doesn't pick up your ETHERNET connection.

Hi..

I m the latest user to get into upgrading.. I have had a JAMin since March 2006 but never thot of updating it till now... (kinda sounds lame bt been bz with other stuff) :o.. anyhow.. I have some how managed to achieve the following in the past 5 days...

Ugrade my SPL from 1.0.0.0 to 2.13.x.x

Upgrade my SPL from 2.13.x to 2.20.x

Upgrade my WM 5 to WM 6 (by PDAVIET 4.0.0.3a)

Now I m stuck at this coz i apparently wanted to update my Jamin to Windows Mobile 6.5 and i really seem to like the roms by PDAVIET.. I have downloaded many 6.5 roms (e.g. bikertbi) but once i download the file and unzip it... i m left with 2 files namely.. prophet 6 and nk.nbf

now the problem comes as i try to install using prophet 6 tool.. (p.s. i have windows 7 and xp virtual machine installed which work quite brilliantly to upgrade/update my jamin rom :D) the system tries to do hardspl and my jamin goes white.. and when it starts the flashing tool ... the RUU cannot find my pda :mad:... then i switch to updating the rom using the RUU_NV_G3 update facility (my pda is G3).. and i can install the rom .. but after installing the pda restarts and its stuck in bootloader screen (3 colors) :eek:..then i have to revert back to wm 5 (stable one) now i have done this abt 7 times and still the same screen shows up.. :mad:

what i did like abt pdaviet rom was the installing tool which did wonderfully well.. (upgrade.bat file) and now i have been searching this forum (or at least trying to locate) for the windows mobile 6.5 rom by PDAVIET for JAMin/Prophet but i m unable to do so.. :(

so i need help in installing the bikertibi rom or pls provide the download link for pdaviet wm 6.5 rom for jamin/prophet.:confused:
