[Off-topic] wipeout140:
I am currently studying for a BSc (Hons) in Business Computing. I am in my final year and undertaking my dissertation. The title of my dissertation: "Is Open Source Better than Closed Source for a Mobile Operating System (OS)?". The aim of this dissertation is to establish if an open or closed source mobile operating system (OS) is better for the consumer. The linked questionnaire is designed to gather information about experiences with mobile phones.

I would really appreciate if a few people from XDA forums filled the questionnaire out

Opinions on Open and Closed Source Mobile Operating Systems

Thanks

Richard

Reset your ringtone and notification sounds after updating!! They might be set to silent or something totally random.

Make sure you backup either with Titanium Backup or Backup from recovery before flashing. Sometimes the update process will cause forecloses and/or bootloops and it is impossible for me to detect every scenario in which that might happen.

[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
sounds good
[Captivate Android Development] kvenubabu:
Awesome. Was on Perception. As DG stopped further development on Perception, anxiously waiting for Cog 4 download link :-)
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
It's a whole new rom, feature list is what you want to look at.
[Captivate Android Development] rajkot360:
Was about to flash cog. 3 now will wait for cog 4
[Captivate Android Development] jazua:
Just installed perception 10.4 and its great!

Sure i will wait for cognition 4!

Thanks for this dg!

Can you add the multi lock mod from perception?
[Captivate Android Development] crystalhand:
Dam now I have to start charging my phone to prepare for the flash :0
[Captivate Android Development] dambrosioj:
DG any new kernel to really take advantage of the new rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Does this have root, sideloading enabled, gps fix?
[Captivate Android Development] crystalhand:
It will of course be rooted and I would be highly surprised if it does not have sideloading. As for the gps fix in think dg stays away because people will complain about bad gps regardless of what happens
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
+1 I charged last night to flash Ryude's new Torch ROM, looks like I get to try both KB1 ROMs out today!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Yes, but the new gps drivers are great, no need for a fix.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
DG definitely knows way more than I do, his ROM should be a beast :)
[Captivate Android Development] soloDOTcom1185:
Is it possible to have both the Samsung and AT&T apps offered separately as downloads? I'm asking because I'm interested in some of the Samsung software like AllShare and Media Hub and would like to install them and leave the others out.

[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bobtsunam:
I bought one of these and after a week and a half the little clips that hold the front piece on broke. Has anyone else had this problem? If so raw there any problem taking back? I sent my receipt in to get my rebate.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] kbrn:
Even though you don't have your receipt you still should be able to go to the sprint store and have it replaced it.

When I got my Black case from the sprint store the guy told me that He also had a note in my acct. that I was entitled to have a free replacement if anything was wrong with it within a year.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bobtsunam:
Just got outta the Sprint store and got the black case. Fits tighter than the other one and just had to pay the difference. Plus this one comes with the belt clip.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] sdc177:
The accessories at the Sprint stores are garbage.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Compusmurf:
If it's the HTC branded case, I'm rather shocked you broke it.

I've had mine on and off a few times and that bad boy is really tight. Actually, thinking about it, it may be because it was on so tight you had a hard time removing it and broke it.

You shouldn't have any trouble getting the case swapped out. It's a much better fitting case than the Seidio/Platinum version of the same thing and a good side effect, if you can get the Seidio belt clip it works just fine with this case.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bobtsunam:
The case was really tight. I knew that goin into it. And I only took it off once and was extremely careful when removing it. Even made a custom tool to get between the phone and the case. Shimmed it on either side of the clips so I wasn't putting any stress on em. Might of just been a bad cover. Got the black one with the faux cabin fiber on the back. Works awesome. Plus it makes the keyboard really stiff and since I use the on-screen keyboard I don't have to worry about the keyboard sliding out on me.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] alew182:
I cant even get the top portion of the blue htc case off its on so tight! anyone have this problem?? lol
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bobtsunam:
That's why I made a little shim to stick between the case and the phone. Way too hard to get apart.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Compusmurf:
Is this something you left there full time or something more like a once used tool? If you left this there it may have caused just enough stress on the already too tight cover and caused your breakage.

This case was designed to go on, stay on FOREVER. hahahaha

I've only taken the front piece off 2x. Once to put on a screen protector then a week later to remove said crappy feeling screen protector. Other than that, the front piece stays on all the time. :)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bobtsunam:
It was just a one time use tool. Had to take the case off to change screen protectors. I made out of 24 gauge steel which is less than .04" thick. The case broke while trying to get it off a second time without the tool when my phone froze and had to pull the battery.

Sent from my Evo Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Kent_Davis:
This has been my experience too
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wireless.praying.mantis:
The only OEM accessory specifically designed for the HTC EVO Shift 4G and sold in Sprint corporate retail stores is the leather case. The black 3 piece carbon fiber and plastic cover/holster as well as the 2 piece black/blue and pink/white covers are manufactured by two different third party vendors.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Double 0:
going on 3 1/2 weeks and the case still fits snug
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] andyourdone:
I bought the black/blue case from the Sprint store and mine also broke! The case was SO tight that when I tried replacing the case the corner clip broke off just like the OP! I bought a simple black replacement case on ebay for $5 and its snug as a bug, and comes off easily in case I need to access the battery compartment.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] warstoke:
i have the blue black htc branded case i got mine at radioshack for 20 bucks after my foursquare mayors 20% discount and i have to say its perfect now if i could just find a leather case to fit over it
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] andyourdone:
How did you get a foursquare discount?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ditch.trilogy:
Is this the case with the texturized back with the HTC logo near the bottom?

If so - it's been holding up fine for me over the past month, even survived a couple of drops to the ground from waste-high.

I have noticed that the slider has become slightly loose - like, it has maybe a millimeter of play in it now. Not sure if that's the because of the case, or because I dropped the phone on the ground twice in the past month.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Okay, so someone from Samsung is going to be callig me soon. I assume it's related to #NeverAgain.

What would you guys want to know, or tell, samsung?

If I agree (maybe even if I do not) I will ask them.

EDIT - UPDATE:

Okay, I have finished the call. I hit on every topic from this thread/my twitter. I am very limited with what I can say

RIGHT NOW

though. I do feel that (& hopefully) shortly a lot of good will come from all of this.

I am NOT willing to throw my hands in the air and yell "hooray," but the Olive Branch is absolutely extended and this has the potential to be a huge win for the community, and Samsung.

I do feel this is less a PR move and more that our collective voice was heard. I really hope that is the case anyway. Still a little ways to go.... but I have to applaud them for their efforts so far, even though everything else they've done to this point has been a let down in my eyes.

I hate I solicited your Q's, and am unable to give answers... just wanted to let you guys know what I could say, and that I left the call a bit optimistic, hope that helps some.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Why the lack of support for us vibrant owners? What did we do besides buy millions of your phones?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
You will need to be as clear as possible... hard to yell lack of support when froyo and source are available now. Granted it was slow and done terribly.. both the misleading deadlines AND the lack of an OTA.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hitman818:
Gingerbread or at least 2.2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Ok. Why the delay on froyo? Also why not an OTA update? Just seemed like the threw us a bone to shut us up with the kies update?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkdruggler:
Tell them we need an easy way to get our problems through.. Some type out forum or a public way to brainstorm ideas.. Maybe you can get a job out of this..

Rfs has to go.. It cripples the device.. Ext4 has been proven a better file system.. An aosp build that we choose to flash if wanted.. Maybe through kies.. A metal back we can buy to give our phones that weight we always wanted..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Awesome, plese keep the good ideas going...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
How about a definitive answer on the choice of rfs over ext4?

I know we have ext4 on our own, but im just curious as to why they made the decision in the first place.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Anything else? Call is happening shortly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotoky:
why don't we have the drivers source? Also will we be getting gingerbread?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Yeah, driver source was on my list, though I think I know the answer.

I'll report back. Keep adding.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I think that's the question most people are gonna want an answer to. Something tells me they aren't going to be able to tell you much, but Ill hold out hope.

We at XDA are a completely different type of customer. We like good specs, but we also like to be able to tinker with our phones. Currently, HTC is the most XDA friendly. If Samsung gave us the tools we needed, wed have no reason to switch up phones. We already have some of the best hardware, we just want great software to go with it. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
Ask them if they are in a service business and not just a hardware business any more. As soon as they started provided hardware that needs updates, they need to provide those updates to keep their customers happy.

Also ask them if they are planning on inviting the XDA developers to their development tree so that we don't have to get leaked source code but can get it straight from Samsung. Maybe if we sign a waver that we take responsibility for our own actions. To be adults.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
Also ask if they are going to allow critical feedback on their website of their devices and not censor them to only accept good feedback?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuke777:
please tell these Nazis to make an option for the incoming call volume delay. it drives me nuts :mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
OP updated. Sorry but I was asked to not share a lot of what we discussed, and I will listen to that demand.

I will say I feel like this is a potentially great thing. Here is hoping that all parties can find a mutual ground and we will all benefit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I understand that you can't reveal anything, but Id say if the guy that spearheaded the NeverAgain campaign is satisfied with the conversation, things should be much brighter in the future. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaetm83:
I see that SGS variants are the first Android devices that brought Samsung a major success in smartphone battles, and obviously they were not ready to deal with all sorts of demands. I am happy to see them reaching out to their customers and to see a work in progress.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I'm cautiously optimistic. This could easily dissolve into nothing, or it could be a genuine game changer. The ball is in Samsung's court, but others will have a large impact on the outcome too (no names).

:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Ok since they have chosen you to discuss....... That is nice of them,

BUT, WHEN is this going to happen? This is the third or forth iteration of "Dangling the carrot" telling us something wonderful is coming........

Did you ask about the time line ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barribow:
If you are still talking: Support for Arabic.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I think you know that I am not one to dangle a carrot. I almost regretted creating this thread, because I knew I would eventually need to let people know what I said/was told... but that I would likely also be restricted in what I could say.

There is a lot of stuff that needs to happen, announcements should happen soon though... really all I can say man.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
We are not here to beat on you...... God, et al knows you are a messenger. I really appreciate it, the reaching out, and appreciate the efforts of all who have tried to (and now maybe will) get Samsung to engage us and help us help them.

My concern is from where I stand, it appears they had an idea, but the plan and executing the plan were later thought up......... so it is disjunct....... AND THAT Always concerns me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I think it's a combination of a lot of red tape, new territory and a lack of planning... I would not argue against that. That's how it seems to me. I still applaud them for trying and hope they are successful, because everyone would benefit if they did.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I hope so too, Thanks for the efforts......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Any hints?

Jk.

Thanks s15, your the main reason we have these new connections with samsung

When I plug my Streak 7 into my PC it does not charge, anyone else have this issue?
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Hmm... I heard that it is supposed to be this way, which I don't like at all.

I have a dock. So it can be charged and connect to PC at the same time.

But yes, it is annoying, especially for a lousy battery life and you can't charge it using your laptop on the roadtrip.
[Dell Streak 7] sgrant:
Ya, that really sucks. I bought the dock as well, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Guess I will call Dell up to make a complaint, I am sure it is a software issue stopping it from charging, hope enough people complain that they change it.
[Dell Streak 7] wm1:
It seems like it maintains without charging

This may just be me, but when I was plugged into my computer it seemed like it maintained it's current state without going any higher or lower.

As we know we Inspiration guys don't have a physical camera button, I was wondering if there is a way to use the barcode scanner app without the physical button as the app uses only that
[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
When the scanner detects a QR code, it will ask you what you want to do with it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
Same with a product UPC bar code.

no need to press anything but only direct the camera at the code. Then the screen becomes your button :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ame85:
Hi all, folks!

I'm quite new to this forum, but I've decided to open a thread because I have a problem with my O1.

This morning I flashed the #echo Void ROM. It all went fine, I installed some modules too (gapps, kernel, a2sd, gingerbread, hwacc).

After finishing the install process, i decided to download some apps from the market, but had a very bad surprise: it hangs at starting the download of every app I try and there is no way of downloading it :(.

I've tried everything that has come to my mind: uninstalling market updates, wiping the memory, turning the wifi off and on again. I've even re-flashed the ROM without installing any modules and re-tried to use the market, but still the same problem occurred.

If anyone has any idea about it, please let me know.

I must say that it is not the first time that I flash a ROM on my phone, and I'm quite sure I did everything in the right way by flashing Void. I 've been a Megatron user for about two months, with absolutely no problem at all.

Thanks in advance.:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ianis G. Vasilev:
If you have GAPPS installed you should try to delete the market data (You can do it manually by deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/ or from an application manager). If you will still experience problems with the market, try removing it (/system/app/Vending.apk), then extract it from your ROM's ZIP archive and put it back into /system/app on your phone.

Market can also crash because of a missing Download Manager application. There should be an apk for it in your ROM's archive. (Do not install system programs by starting them! Copy them to /system/app/!)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ecapox:
Since the back cover for the Atrix is one piece and actually covers the sides as well, i was wondering if these can be made out of carbonfiber. Anyone have the hookup on someone that can make custom CF parts?

Getting a case that snaps around this seems counter intuitive. You'd think the incipio and spek cases would just be replacement covers.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fresh & Minty:
I was on some website, I cant remember and they had other backcovers on pre-order for $20.... They all looked like a rubberized material with a sort of carbon fiber design and each had a motorola symbol in the center. Either blue, green or pink.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phaijai:
I believe it was MobileCity Online or something like that. Definitely only preorder status right now.

I agree the back is waaaay too slippery. I feel like I am going to drop it while typing. I am holding out for Powermat to release a back to use with the charging pad. If not, I might opt for the soft rubber battery covers.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ecapox:
Interesting. I'd like to get an extra one to use as a template. I think i got someone lined up for carbon fiber but i'd need to give them a template that wouldnt survive. I also have to make a minimum order of like 50, which i'd toss up on Ebay.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] rckaflla88:
i'd be down for a couple if you could post some shots of what it would look like...since it does wrap around the corners it would slim down the phone too (versus case)...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] FLAC Vest:
I would definitely love a powermat charger; depending on hpw much bulk is added to the device is another story though.
