Some points

Hi Guyz

I just thgt i will share my opinion after having a chance to play with the Atrix:

Performance : with the custom interfaces running on atrix and the galaxy s2 it will be difficult to asses the dual core performance. Its high time everyone started providing stock android on the devices.

Display : There has been a lot of discussion on this, with numbers and other data. Personally my screen on the captivate looks far better than on the Atrix (i dont have to sit and check whether its a 480 X 800 or watever. And oversaturated colors are not gonna affect you on a small screen ( if its a 40 inch HDTV then the story is different).

Frankly i dont believe it when ppl say tht SAMOLED screens are not good as compared to the atrix displays.
[Galaxy S II General] MikeyMike01:
Theres a very large and important difference between not knowing how to do something, and not being allowed to.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Galaxy S II General] bobloblawsum:
Good to have some user input on this. I too don't have an issue with slightly overtsaturation of colours, especially when it makes the images jump off such a small screen
[Galaxy S II General] peachpuff:
That would suck so bad, i would hurl the phone against the wall if i didn't have those features.

Good thing cm7 is starting to take shape for the galaxy s phones, it'll definitely keep me from upgrading.
[Galaxy S II General] mortuus.x:
Yeah, having just put Firefly 2.3 on my Rogers Captivate the difference is night and day. No custom kernel would prevent a bunch of useful functionality from being implemented. That's an Atrix killer for me.
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
Lol I am returning mine tthis weekend as well, it is already packaged and ready with the paperwork inside the box.

Fast and I loved the screen/finger print reasserting, but it wasn't faster than 3 seconds loading pages compared to my new Nexus 1 on the same network.
[Galaxy S II General] jel7:
Could you please explain this a bit more. For example which phones would att not know the emei for?
[Galaxy S II General] kiwijunglist:
I think they both look like great phones, I really like how the atrix has a 1930mAh battery vs 1650mAh (17% larger). But I think I'd still go the galaxy s2 because it's a larger 4.3" screen while only being slightly taller and wider with reduced thickness. I just really wished they had used better backlit camera sensors like iphone4 and sony xperia arc or a better lens/sensors like the Nokia N8.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
I don't get where you think the SGS2 sensor is going to make it a lesser camera.

Have you used the SGS?

It has a very good camera and with it's very low 2.4f-stop it delivers cracking good night shots for a phone camera.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
the canadian i9000m or the euro i9000 or the new zealand i9000t all of which att doesnt know the imeis'

obviously they know the imeis of the captivates and i had a nexus one and google gave them the imei's so i sold it..
[Galaxy S II General] martino2k6:
If you take a look at some camera comparisons (GSMArena has a good tool) you will notice that the SGS is very close to the quality provided by the iPhone 4. Nokia N8 didn't actually seem to be that great to me, seemed about on par with the iPhone 4.
[Galaxy S II General] android_master:
Unfortunately Atrix touchscreen has just killed Atrix for me,it can recognize only 2 points touches at the same time.And that's a hardware point.

The bad boy LG Optimus 2X & 3D have 10 point multitouch,iphones & itouches have a 5 point multitouch,not that i will be using 8 fingers simultaneously but than atleast Atrix should have 4-5 point multitouch.
[Galaxy S II General] Sebring5:
the Atrix is A-OK

I installed Go Ex launcher with 3 screens, a minimal still wallpaper and setCPU. It works like a charm. I really like the universal messaging inbox, battery life, the screen, the browser, and the phone functions.
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
When do you ever use more than 2 fingers? I actually never use anything but my thumbs except for pinch/zoom.
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NegativeOne:
Some months ago I rooted my dad's dInc using the "unrevoked" tool, and I set him up with the Wireless Tethering app. Everything worked.

He tried to use it this past weekend for the first time in a while and it's no longer working. I tried Barnacle, and I have the same issue.

The network shows up, and a laptop can connect to it, but it says "no internet access", and it looks like it doesn't get an IP either.

The Wireless Tethering app never notifies that someone has connected either. Weird stuff...

I'm thinking one of the updates that HTC pushed to the phone broke something. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Is it the newest version?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NegativeOne:
edit: Seems like I had to uninstall and reinstall newest version and now it's working =\. Fixed. Thanks..
[HD2 General] baraks:
hello,

im using the Unofficial CM7 for HD2 09/02/2011 ver.

and i cant download files that sent to me via MMS.

i've searched the hell out of the forum and havn't got any solution.

can someone help me???...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jason.choy:
Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to set up your TP2 so that certain files (e.g. word/excel) can be edited but then can be synced so the edits are available on your PC/Laptop?

This will save having to sync the device with the PC (using a USB cable) and having to drag files over etc. (i have unlimited data, so this is not a problem)

The files on the TP2 need to be available offline (so a cloud solution won't do) because sometimes on the Underground, there is no signal.

Can someone help point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

J.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
You could use something like MobSync if you want to sync multiple folders or specific files. Or just use ActiveSync which will sync to a desktop folder if your happy with that. You can use BT if you don't fancy connecting a cable. I don't know of any way of syncing over the internet if that's what you're asking.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwanbanan:
Damn need some help here ..

I tried to update with SEUS but it doesn’t work .. It says that the update is available and all .. And when I press to proceed it says the download failed or something like that ..

My phone has been rooted when I had 1.6 but 2.1 removed the root .. I’ve removed apps that require root such as TitaniumBackup and Barnacle’s wifi tethering .. But it still doesn’t work ..

Anyone in my situation or who can help at all?

btw I have an X10 phone

Appreciate fast replies!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
either reflash using flashtool with a stock firmware that came before .435 and then update using suess.

OR

re root ur phone with flashtool then,

just flash one of the dualtouch firmwares found on the site, which would be .435 with flashtool. some come pre rooted etc.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwanbanan:
Hmm ok I'll try. But I dont understand why this is happening cuz former update worked just fine :-/ .. And I haven't rooted since then either..

Thx for the reply!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
yea idk either.

but try those

if it works remember to thank me !

just to be sure...ur on firmware .24 right ? and ur trying to get TO .435 ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwanbanan:
Actually I already pushed your thank button :-)

Yes I got .24
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
Okay.

Well idk if u tried anything yet but as I said u can flash the. 435 firmware with flashtool. :-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kwanbanan:
Hey I think I solved it ..

My friend told me to try updating with PC Companion instead of SEUS and so I did .. And apparently I think it's working .. It's updating right now :)

Thx for the help though!

**EDIT**: Nope I was wrong .. doesn't work still :(

[Dell Streak 7] juzeryamani:
I have a TMO Dell Streak 7

I have rooted my device just fine, using the Composite ADB Drivers.

I have USB Debugging > ON

Windows 7, x64

I put the device in Fastboot mode

> Connected via USB

> Installed Android Bootloader Drivers from android_winusb.inf file

> Fastboot shows up under Android Phone in Device Manager

Yet, I am unable to see the device through Fastboot devices in CMD

-- ADB Devices does show my device connected, when booted normally and connected via Composite ADB Interface drivers.

Can someone please help me? I'd love to update the image with the tweaked image posted on this forum.

Thank you
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
A driver isnt installex. I know it sounds crazy. It took me 2 days to figure out fastboot. Also do you have the latest fastboot installed? When you plugged in the streak in fastboot mode did it prompt to install a driver?

Sent from my Dell Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] juzeryamani:
Where do I get the latest Fastboot copy from? I just googled Fastboot and downloaded it from one of the sources that showed up.

When I plug the Streak7 to the computer while Streak7 is in Fastboot mode, Windows7 x64 automatically tries to find the driver and then fails. Then I open up Device Manager, right click on the USB device that's flagged and install the Bootloader Driver from the INF file (through Have Disk method). At this point, Fastboot does show up under Android Phone at the top of Device Manager. But no luck.

Very frustrating. I appreciate your reply.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
go Into sdk and download the latest platform tools. You are using sdk correct? I really dont know what I did to get it too work but I do know it was a pain. Good luck. Let us know if you get it to work.

Sent from my Dell Streak 7
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
also not sure if you created a path for the sdk tools? Here is an awesome guide on how to setup adb properly. Follow it to a t and it should work. Might I also suggest startover fresh with everything. Hope this helps

[Dell Streak 7] kirkla79:
I have found that I need to reboot my computer before each time I use fastboot on win 7 64, otherwise I just get a bunch of errors, even when I have no other adb issues.

Sometime when I have the time I will get fastboot working on my imac, I have to jump through too many hoops everytime I need fastboot on my windows machine.
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
that may because you didnt create a path for adb.

Hi.

Can anybody reconmend a car holder for a DHD with a gel case on it?

Appologies if this has been covered, but i cannot seem to find any posts that have this info.

Thanks
[Desire HD Accessories] Spectator_0o:
You probably have to do for a universal one mate. I've been looking for the same thing but can't find anything.
[Desire HD Accessories] mrbubba999:
Not sure where you are, but I use a universal one from halfords, allows you to rotate for sat navigation too, a bit snug with the case but it works
[Desire HD Accessories] Andy:
I use a Clingo holder and it holds my DHD (uncased) & the wife's SGS with a gel case just fine.

It was about £15 off eBay.
[Desire HD Accessories] shah_jee:
Halfrauds are a rip off. They just repackage Chinese stock.
[Desire HD Accessories] Captain Honeycomb:
one of my friend has the same car holder from clingo and its very fine :D
[Desire HD Accessories] Andy:
Just be sure to rinse the pad once a month or so under hot water. Otherwise you'll lose the tackiness on the pad.
[Desire HD Accessories] mrbubba999:
Cost me a fiver so not too bothered and lasted over a year.....not bad for Chinese stock
[Desire HD Accessories] JLneonhug:
I am on the same boat. I have a gooseneck one but its started to become less sturdy. I need one which really holds it in place and on the windscreen as I use the accelorometer for one of the car apps.

I tried arm locking ones aswell but they seem to be prone to vibration even faster.
[Desire HD Accessories] MikeMulligan:
ProClip

proclipusa.com (cant post links yet).

Best car mounts and holders. Not at all cheap. But they're built specifically for whatever car and device combo you have and are a super elegant, looks like it came with the car, kind of solution.

They have one for the desirehd that charges dock-like, but won't fit it with the case. The "universal" one they have for phones with cases works well. I've repurposed mine from my old iphone. But it doesn't have the dock piece. May have to rig something up.
[Desire HD Accessories] Esspee_London:
If it's for DHD with case, I feel universal mounts may well be your only choice.

[Android Software Development] CodeMonk:
I've come up with an idea for a mobile app that I think people would find useful. Since I have an android phone, I'm going to start there. I'm a C# developer in mostly windows forms and ASP.Net applications. I haven't done much in Java other than what I did in college about 5 years ago. So.. Anyone have an tutorials that can bring a lowly C# developer up to speed in Java / Android development? I did a search on the googlez but I kept getting links for MonoDroid and I don't want to go that route.

[Android Software Development] smaskell:
java syntax is so similar to c# that you really shouldn't have much problem..

As you're learning the ins and outs of android, I'm sure you'll pick up on the differences between the two languages

As for actually learning the android specific stuff... I don't know

I really prefer learning from videos as opposed to reading

I tried to find some good video tutorials but I couldn't find anyway

there were a few that had one video that was good but that was it(doesn't get you too far)

you might want to check out this site though

http://www.codinggreenrobots.com/

they're going to be broadcasting live workshops on android every other week starting today

I have no idea if they're any good but it looks promising

if you don't mind reading though, there's tons of good books

I read part of "Pro Android" because my work had a copy

it was decent
[Android Software Development] CodeMonk:
Hey thanks for that link. I'm going to check them out tonight.
[Android Software Development] Folkert:
I'm in the same posion as you are, working for webdevleoper for over 10 years. Just did all my stuff in C# but wanted to create an Android app.

The best way to learn is to just mess around. There is no tutorial or page wich compares java syntax to c#. Just start with the same old Hello World, create some click events etc. Start to develop small parts of you applications as practice. Don't start with the complete app design because it will be frustrating.

I've created an app and love building apps in Eclipse because it's quite similar to c#. Although there are some really strange thing happening in Java. For example, there is no Switch for a String value, only int and enum values. From c# point of view you will bump into other strange stuff like that. Accept it, search and learn.

Again, it's not that hard. I think it's harder to understand how Android really works with Intents etc. That's quite hard to learn(for me;-))

Good luck!

[About XDA developers] l3ong91:
Can I request the Omnia 2 to have another sub-forum for Omnia 2 Android Development, like the one in HD2? This is because currently I don't think many Omnia 2 users aware of the presence of Android development on Omnia 2. It will also be easier for users to browse through instead of putting all the ROM development in one forum.

Omnia2Droid Project Thread @ XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918778

I can confirmed that the project is a long term on-going project as the dev team has promised and now are working on porting of Android 2.2 and 2.3 for future development. Many XDA users has response positively for the threads so I think we deserved a new sub-forum (e.g different sub-forum for different OS development for HD2)

how do i disable haptic feedback? i couldnt find it under sounds menu.
[Atrix 4G General] Dadgumit:
I was looking for this too. You can turn it off for the keyboard under the keyboard settings.

Can't figure out how to turn it off for the "system" (soft keys).

BLOWSSS.

[Atrix 4G General] eatkabab:
yeah I can't find it either. My captivates screen is eons beyond this qHD ****. Unfortunately I would rather have the higher resolution.

+1 Driving me nuts. I tweeted @motorola and even asked on their forums.
[Atrix 4G General] jsuresh:
absolute mess up with this haptic feedback. Neither Motorola nor AT&T has any clue of how to disable this sh$t. I hate that buzzing on my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] jthunt11:
Agreed. I can't stand it. I have looked for a while but only able to find the place to disable it for the keyboard.

Huge oversight by Moto if they didn't put in a way to disable it. Its something I will probably get use to but right now.. It is annoying.
[Atrix 4G General] iJITSU:
Had the same issue. Under Settings/Location and Security Settings deselect Use Tactile Feedback. Disables most of the haptic feedback on the screen though the standard Android buttons still vibrate.
[Atrix 4G General] blackout203:
I think if you download SpareParts in the market, it will allow. I will check back later and see. Normally it's in the menu's though. It's annoying as hell!
[Atrix 4G General] nupicasso:
Unfortunately, this doesn't work either.

This and the fact that the battery nor the front facing camera are as good as the iPhone 4, are causing me to waffle as to if I'm going to return the atrix or not.
[Atrix 4G General] trant01:
Bump

Has anyone figured out if we can disable the haptic feedback on the soft keys? It's super annoying IMHO.
[Atrix 4G General] TfzSCVang:
I have asked to question in the past, and the answer i got in short was that there are no options for the 4 action buttons on the bottom to disable haptic feedback. Design flaw... and aside from that, the only way to disable it is if you downloaded a certain app, which i can not recall which one it is anymore but when i do i will post it back up here, which will disable all vibrations (including if your phone is on silent)...

Great right?
[Atrix 4G General] trant01:
Its the dell streak app I believe that will disable all vibration. I cant live without vibrations when phone is on silent so I guess ill have to deal.

Why does it say KB13?

I have downloaded and it appears to look like the downloader from the Samsung Moment?

Same version as CL14 updater it would appear. However the install is hung from the exe file. Waiting to see what happens. I may uninstall what is already on the computer and see it it finishes installing if it stays hung where it is.

The SWupdater will wipe all data if not backed up. I am gonna try the zip noted below first. Nevermind. I cna't get the update zip to download. Here goes for foryo via swupdate! I will be back shortly!

SWUpdate running normal like it would for the samsung moment. It is a full flash so if you are not stock this will make you stock and give you froyo. Here is to hoping the screenshot shortcut works so I can post a pic!

The exe also flashes like SWupdater similar to the moment. I am uploading a video to youtube now and will have that as well as the .exe file shortly posted!

As promised here is the video of start up!
