[Xoom General] Xevilious:
There have been Atrix reviews out for a while, but so far, it's been mum on the Xoom. It doesn't make much sense to me either.

That said, I think "shady" is the wrong word. I would use "bizarre". Everything about this has been bizarre, and the fact that nobody even knows when the thing is being released just flabbergasts me. Most launches include things like, you know, release dates, prices, venues, etc.... Right now, the only thing we know for certain is that it will be available at Best Buy in late February for $800, and we haven't known that stuff for very long.

However much I dislike Apple, Steve Jobs would never have let something like this happen... unless we're talking about the mythical white iPhone 4.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
It's just an amazing failure of a launch. It boggles my mind that they can come off of their "Best of CES" performance and get nothing but bad press thereafter. How can they not effectively communicate the price and release dates across media and retailers? Even after Sanjay Jha confirmed the price, the price still isn't listed on the official Xoom website! So much potential wasted. I'm an Apple hater, but nobody can deny that they know how to run a product launch and these other companies need to take notes every June.
[Xoom General] eallan:
Exactly correct. Motorola could stand to take several lessons from Apple, mainly marketing.

If you do buy a new screen, it looks like it would be very difficult to replace. Or would you bring it to a shop that would do it for you? I am looking at mine wondering how one would even replace the screen so that its in good working order. Maybe its not as difficult as it seems if one knows what they're doing (certainly not myself lol)

Check out Josh Groce from mobiletech reviews.com He just unbricked my captivate maybe (hopefully) he can replace your screen for a descent price.

It's worth a try, he is also an xda senior member and goes by the name connexion2005 I believe.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
Hey Guys,

I've noticed many other phones have guides explaining how to download and compile Android for their phones including proprietary drivers and misc files. I know CM6/CM7 and MIUI all are very clearly doing this but I was wondering if we could get any kind of documentation like that for the Epic? It doesn't have to include any super detailed coding information other then how to download AOSP, Samsungs required drivers, and build them into a "working" rom of some kind..

The drivers and kernels you guys have been using so far must be available via some kind of git command..

I'd love to be able to compile a ROM just to learn about it lol.

Think a quick and dirty write up for compiling a rom could happen? I think it would really help incoming developers and newbies alike.

I'm trying it now for fun... still downloading the source... the first repo sync takes a while, I believe it's a few GB's in size..

I don't believe this includes the kernel though... I'm sure it's posted somewhere for those interested in looking at it.. just gotta dig around.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yogi2010:
way to go, man. keep us posted...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDub:
Steps seem to be broken.. the ./get-rommanager and ./getgooglefiles -v HDPI or whatever both don't work because of broken web links.

Seems this hasn't been updated in a while..

I tried to go on without them following the directions but it doesn't work, says something about the vibrant? idk.. I think the directions would need updating to work properly.. at least the code was fun to look at.

Still hoping a developer can teach us how to compile lets say just 100% AOSP for our phones using our progress so far with the drivers.. i think the drivers need to be their own branch of code so all devs can use them for their own roms.. maybe it's already like this? Idk pretty new to rom compiling.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] SiaoKia:
Hi all,

I am looking for a program or software for Windows Mobile 6 which can actually open up a PDF form with signature field and have customer sign it.

Our company's current process is to have users sign on a signature pad connected to our notebooks to sign any forms we have. (.pdf forms with signature field)

It is not very convenient for us to bring our notebooks + signature pads everywhere we go and so I am thinking of putting the pdf into a windows mobile device and have user sign on that.

I have tried programs like FoxitReader or Adobe Reader 2.0 for WM but they just can't open up the signature field where users are supposed to sign on.

May I know if there's any work around or software that I duno and cannot think of?

Having read this thread, and noting quite a bit of WiMAX vs LTE discussion, I thought to bring this discussion to the learned members here.

http://androidforums.com/sprint/272829-lte-vs-wimax-charges-control-data.html

It does paint LTE as a very disappointing technology.

Your thoughts?
[Networking] Jonathon Grigg:
Woah that's new to me... for once I'm glad I live in Australia not America as I don't think we will have this problem. Not even with a LTE network as it seems to me like it is the carriers who choose. That said it allows entrepreneurs a great way to start a business, offering LTE but without those restrictions etc. I know who I would go with!
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
after reading what some of the links led me to, this is why tmobile, with all its perceived warts, kicks all of their asses (if you live/use your device in a good tmobile market, ie., ny, philly, etc; im in tampa, where it is pretty damn good)

at the moment, if you have the unlimited data/voice/messaging package with tmobile, there are no "carrier-imposed" limits on content, sites, etc...and with hspa+ getting real-world speeds of anywhere between 4-10 Mbps down and more...well need i say anymore...the **** is fast, and reasonably/competitively priced

verizon, att, sprint and whoever else can keep spending their billions on advertising and pop culture glitz all they want...then they can continue to attract the market of fools who know nothing, and really dont care to know anything about, what theyre really buying (or what their mommy and daddy are buying for them, in reality)

of course, if you dont live in a good tmobile market, then i understand you kinda have to play ball with them

remember, the definition of 4g was changed by the ITU to fit these carriers bull**** marketing of 4g, instead of the other way around, where they should have stopped their misleading advertising in order to fit within the real definition

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#ITU_Requirements_and_4G_wireless_standards

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-20028622-266.html

4g was supposed to, and did until recently, mean 100Mbps down, not 21 Mbps down

so did the carriers force the ITU to change the definition to fit their marketing crap? or did the ITU change it cause they did a sloppy job of it in the first place?

tmobile isnt completely without some involvement in the marketing non-sense, but it is the best kept secret in the wireless market if you ask me
[Networking] drewsif:
I want it lol.
[Networking] icemasta31:
+1.... Its a nice way to confuse the regular consumer market and don't understand why the ITU would need to change it other than "help" the telco's marketing department to offer something faster.

pretty good example of lobbying on the part of the telcos i think
[Networking] csabia1990:
it same as every other phone company having 4g. just they added lte really
[Networking] tnpapadakos:
if you mean LTE is same as the others, well, not really

if thats not what you meant, disregard this message

verizon's lte, tmobiles hspa+ and sprints wimax are all fundamentally different

but they're calling all of them 4g

tmo and any other carriers using hspa+ are the only ones not talking about usage limits, specific website blocks, and special prices for highly used sites like youtube, etc.

Hey guys, quick question. I've been scouring the forum here but haven't found a solution yet.

I was attempting to flash back to stock using Odin and my phone just kinda "hung up." Odin basically froze so I did a battery pull hoping that I'd be able to re-enter download mode and reflash to stock.

Now I'm getting a black screen with a phone, and exclamation point, and a computer icon every time i try to power on my phone.

I've tried every configuration of the 3 button combo to get back into download mode that I can think of but thus far nothing has helped.

I've read that this screen is a sign that you're only "partially bricked" but I cannot for the life of me get my phone to proceed past this screen in any way.

Can anyone help?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
Ok, so WP7 is working lovely, its reporting as a HD7 as far as we can see and MS sees it as an HD7 in the marketplace

So, how is it that if i look in "My pictures" on my computer i sync my phone with i see a folder called "From LEO70"

Number of posibilities i guess,

first being that im the only one who has this

or it happens because the phone was connected to zune before the reg edit

finally, Zune knows something we dont!

Im guessing number 2 if anyone else sees this?

Just curious really, because if there is something that is revealing our HD7 is infact a Leo i'd rather it didnt.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
The answer is simple: You must have flashed the first WP7 for HD2 ever: It comes with the name "Leo70", which is also the model name inside the ROM.

The newer custom ROMs change the model name.

No need to worry. But maybe you might prefer to flash a custom ROM - almost all of them are jailbroken, too. Another big advantage.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
C, non of the above, the correct answer is the latest trigger.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:

Neither Cyanogenmod 7 is the best
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arkasai:
I can't see too many discernible differences between the latest rom releases. The UI interaction is pretty much superb across the board for all the roms, I don't think the human eye can appreciate any real differences there might be between the roms. Start up and shutdown times are a little different from rom to rom, I actually stuck with Bionix because it seems to boot up quicker than others I've tested, this is a qualitative analysis I didn't sit there with a stop watch or anything. I do notice that Bionix takes slightly longer than a lot of other roms to shutdown though, on some roms it almost seemed like it instantly powered down, while on Bionix it takes about 10-15 seconds before I feel the death convulsion.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
Id like to add that if you arent using the same launcher when making comparisons you're going to be comparing the launcher as much as the rom since each launcher makes the rom feel very different
