Do it! I think that it'll be great. I'm personally torn between the G-Slate and a WebOS tablet.

More systems more fun! :D
[WebOS Software Development] ldudiaz:
I would really like to ask "why not?" to those people saying NO to this thread.
[WebOS Software Development] cliffgardner:
Yes. webOS must be added. We all miss the days of HTC only phones on xda sometimes but they're long gone.
[WebOS Software Development] xd1936:
Absolutely, WebOS should be added. It's quite possibly the most accepted homebrew platform available to consumers. And to those who there is "too many already", don't read those sections. XDA cleanly organizes the sections.
[WebOS Software Development] i_maq:
Definitely, I'm a WebOS AND Android AND WP7 user (thanks to my Pre+ and HD2) so would be great to see what XDA people can do with WebOS as well as the great guys over at PreCentral.
[WebOS Software Development] jmbburg26:
I think there should be webOS support on XDA. I didn't know a thing about rooting or flashing when I got my Evo and still wouldn't without the help of XDA. I traded a Palm Pre for my first Android phone (HTC HEro with Sprint) and haven't looked back but it's a great platform and deserves to be supported. +1
[WebOS Software Development] souljaboy:
please dont ... it would only drive up page load speeds and data usage for the peeps who visit the site on phone
[WebOS Software Development] JRK-Scope:
I LOVE WebOS. I hope HP can push it forward. I say YES. We need more devs. Apparently it's easy to develop for it.
[WebOS Software Development] ai6908:
I kinda like it and I dont...:D
[WebOS Software Development] mattykinsx:
+5000

There's no evidence that HP is doing ANYTHING that will revive the DOA that is WebOS.

The devices are going to be out "in summer", way after everyone else has released their devices for the term, I believe they don't even have all their APIs out.

Just no...maybe if the platform grows it would be an idea.

IF that date comes...

Also, with respect, this poll is pointless.

WebOS users are a very tight group and will probably sit here creating new accounts just to get the poll up.

They troll all the polls on this topic.

[e.g. sprint poll on what OS to focus on, march madness mock poll last year]
[WebOS Software Development] Torakiki76:
YES off course...webOS the best OS!!
[WebOS Software Development] ldudiaz:
I understand what you are saying, but it wont hurt anybody, so why not?
[WebOS Software Development] Flashminz:
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS,great idea
[WebOS Software Development] mattykinsx:
There is a limit to bandwidth on this site.

If you've ever tried accessing during peak times it can be pretty bad.

XDA cannot afford to spend time adding new forums every time a new platform pops up for a few minutes.

Plus, WebOS users are whiny.

No really, they are whiny.

I'm not going to suggest that no-android/windows/etc aren't but WebOS are worse.

If XDA wants to control the spam users then adding WebOS is a no.
[WebOS Software Development] ReyPaez:
Yesssssssss!!!
[WebOS Software Development] :
I think its a great idea, whats wrong with a bit of everything, we all win at the end of the day "knowledge" and knowledge is meant to be bountiful :)

plus XDA is superior when it comes to OS Development, Hacking, Tweaking Cooking ETC..

So far we have this:

Android

Bada

IOS

Windows 6.1/6.5

Windows Phone 7

Meego

Ubuntu

"WebOS" if approved
[WebOS Software Development] ldudiaz:
android/windows/etc are not whiny, as you said webos users are, because they have all sorts of devices from small to big with keyboards and without. You guys have options.

People can argue that webos users only complains about the hardware and not so much about the software. The webos community is a very dedicated one and I would go as far as saying that we are very passionate about webos maybe more than any other platform user out there.

Yes there are no webos devices out yet, but webos will be in as many devices if not more, lot more, than android, ios, windows and blackberry all together. This time next year we will be having a different conversation about webos

You can count on it.
[WebOS Software Development] agentofboom:
I think it should go back to HTC only. The good ol days :) So I say NO to webOS
[WebOS Software Development] mattykinsx:
Two points:

1) You admit to being a WebOS user and you fully admit that the WebOS user-base are a bunch of whiners.

I don't care if it's justifiable or not, that's what you just admitted

which underscores my point about a WebOS forum bringing more spam.

2) This comment:

Laugh my ************* ass off while rolling on the floor rolling my eyes.

I truly believe that you, and other WebOS supporters, actually believe that.

And that's why it's so funny.
[WebOS Software Development] ldudiaz:
you are right 100%
[WebOS Software Development] ayekhine:
Hell ya.. go for it!
[WebOS Software Development] gadgetmom88:
Add it! WebOS has a great community that could benefit other OS's!
[WebOS Software Development] The Solutor:
The officil Webos community is actually the strangest community I ever seen.

A contribution from some more open minded people would be fresh air to the webos environment.
[WebOS Software Development] EraqEE:
Go for it, guys! I heard Web Os is based on Linux, just like Android :D

I used it for a bit a few days ago and it's pretty awesome.

Do us all a favour and ignore the haters!!!!
[WebOS Software Development] somline:
Probably not a bad idea, since we already worked together on the battery calibration and over clocking (maybe more)
[WebOS Software Development] Sim-1:

[WebOS Software Development] seymour77:
u SHOULD do it :D
[WebOS Software Development] r0bot:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwags:
I have had the Atrix for a week or so now, and my camera seems to act up on me a lot. I will open it up and just get a black screen. Or sometimes I get an error message saying "Oops the camera couldn't be found" or something like that. I'm just wondering if it's a software issue, or if I should go to AT&T and get another one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NextExile:
Go to ATT and show it to them. That shouldn't be happening.

Haven't had any issues with my cam.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwags:
I keep thinking it's got to be software related because it keeps working, like right now it works, but if i shut the phone down and turn it back on, sometimes it won't work. i've already wiped all user data and factory reset.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrohn:
Unfortunately the same thing started happening to me today.

This is seriously annoying.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahoymehearties:
Did either of you get this resolved?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edbgon:
Please say one of you have resolved this problem. I can get the camera app to start but it never displays anything on the screen. My phone is unlocked and I bought it third-party so I can't take it back. I pretty much have to remove the battery to get the phone back to normal.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnetox:
Have you guys tried doing a fresh flash and factory reset?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edbgon:
Yes. I've also formatted the memory, tried to switch to external storage when snapping photos. Nothing. Just going into the camera brings up a black screen and then trying to take a picture or going into settings will lock it solid.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thanamesjames:
I was just wondering if anyone had themed a launcher to look like the Rosie launcher Myn is currently using. It stretches the width of the screen, with a triangle on the left, Phone in the center, and a circle design on the right. Really sexy looking. Honestly I definitely think myn's is the best looking rom by far... I just can't sense. Anyways, thanks for the help.
[XPERIA X8 General] mukambc:
Hello everybody,

I'm new in the forum and I've reading all topics about x8.

I just bought one and need some information...

If a install the 2.2 2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12 version,

my x8 will be in english or can I choose the language, for exemple portuguese?

Thanks all.
[XPERIA X8 General] ninhdo:
Yes, you can change language. Not sure if Portuguese is there, but i can change it to Norwegian, so Portuguese must be there too.
[XPERIA X8 General] mukambc:
Thank you!

Someone else can check if is there the Portuguese(Brazil) language in the options?
[XPERIA X8 General] challenger11:
Yes there is ;) , i've checked :)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
Yap, I checked it too it has both brasil and portuges, and it has portuges as a writing language as wel.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] waynestatemac:
MCCM HD V4.0

ANDROID 2.2.1

RADIO 2.15.50.14

Hello guys,

I'm running a HD2 using the above sd android build with a Energy WM 6.5 startup. My carrier is T-Mobile (USA) and I have the web2go plan using apn (internet2.voicestream.com).

My question is once in awhile one of the arrows for the H or 3G gets stuck on and the data connection drops out. I then attemped to turn off and on the mobile connection from the settings. The mobile connection state will show as off but the 3G or H stays at the top of the screen with the arrow stuck on. It will not shut off even if i leave it for a few minutes. I then try to turn the mobile connection back on but it stays the same. The only way to fix the problem is to reset the phone. This does not happen that often but on a recent trip to Florida it seemed to happen more often and became annoying. Is this a common problem with android and is there a way to fix it so the mobile connection will shut off correctly?

I have had other times where the data connection seems flaky and shut it off and on and it works good, but if the an arrow is stuck on it will never shut off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_bulk:
i have the same problem like u with exactly the same setup(energy rom,radio) but you can live with it ;)

i havent tried any other build could this was good for me for now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] waynestatemac:
Ya its not to bad, $10 data and i stream alot from my slingbox usually about 4-6gb a month. I did seem to have better results under a older android build I believe it was called PCB sense had a circuit board background, I will have to look for the old folder. Only reason I changed was to try out a newer build.

I was just wondering because I have a noob coworker that wants to do the same to his phone, but I'm sure there going to not understand whats going on if it locks up.

Anyways thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] psufan5:
Can anyone who has used both ROMs explain what the benefit would be for using the 2.3 roms? What exactly is better about it? I was thinking about trying it but dont want to bother if its not worth it.

Thanks.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dsterner:
What does that mean exactly?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Corriewf:
What do you mean about what do you mean?:D

I am personally wondering on the inspire specifically if gingerbread is a great improvement?
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Ehh, I ran the CM7 and it was cool, everything seemed nice and smooth...and the screen off animation never gets old :D but I like Sense and I find the custom sense roms to provide similar if not better speed and performance... then again there is no official GB for Desire HD/Inspire 4g, so... when that comes out we'll probably see a general overall improvement of performance etc

I'm not exactly sure if you would *need* it. We'll only *need* it when the Sony games/ports come into play that require GB. (Cuz we share very similar hardware with the Arc and Xperia Play)

Er...I mean I'll need it anyway. Can't wait to play some PS games on my Inspire :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] TheBassman369:
I just flashed Android Revolution.

I couldn't get back to CM7 fast enough. Lol

The only Froyo ROM that compares speed wise is MIUI. Other than that my phone ran noticeably slower. Just my experience.

Sent from my CM7 Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
The inspire plays ffvii at almost full speed depending on what is going on. That is on the stock Rom no root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
I ran CM7 for a few days but then went back to a Sense ROM. I did like a lot of the features on CM7 but I like the HTC apps and widgets even more. Plus, my battery life was even worse on CM7.

I don't really see much of a difference in speed at all. Both run very smoothly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Yeah... but I've seen some demos of psx4droid, and I wasn't too impressed. I think the framerate drops would bug me... now if sony made an official emulator for the Arc/Xperia (which I believe they are) it should be pretty sweet :cool: at least that's how I recall the good ol psp days. Their PSOne emu was pretty good!

And back on topic, to OP, some people really like gingerbread's features etc. You should just flash CM7 and give it a spin for yourself. :) Just have a diff rom ready to flash if you don't like it. Bam. Gotta love Android :cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] psufan5:
I noticed flash runs a lot better in GB and the browser on the CM7 is able to stay in desktop mode... Its the little things :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Corriewf:
Never had the desktop issue. Then again I have not had ANY issues with this phone outside the sound quality on speaker phone.
[Xoom General] pyrator:
For you guys who already have the xoom please chime in.

I have a IPAD (dont judge me lol) and the "GPS" does not work while airborne; this is a big deal for me as i am a pilot.

Does the xoom gps only work when in cellphone range like the ipad or does it have a no kidding GPS chip?

On a side not i have no clue how apple gets away with selling the ipad as having GPS when it clearly is not TRUE GPS.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
Since the wifi version will contain GPS as well, my guess is that it should work. I'll let you know once I get it in hand today.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
When you look up on the Motorola website it states "aGPS" which is assisted GPS. IMO this means it uses regular GPS and other signals in addition. How that translates to airborne IDK. But surely the XOOM shouldn't be used for airplane navigation ;) There's probably an iPad app for that ROFL
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Xoom has the same gps. The chip works fine for following without a cell/wifi connection. To get actually directions you have to have a connection.
[Xoom General] modru2004:
its got its own gps chip. and it locks on instantly. and i mean instant. accurate to 4 meters according to google maps.

the only problem you would run into are the maps.

you would need the maps saved on the xoom. google maps can and does cache maps while on wifi, but if you deviate off the set path during the trip you won't be able to load any additional maps during the trip unless you can get a wifi or data connection.

so you would need a gps app that stores the maps on the device if you want it to function like a standard gps. i know there are some for the iphone, but i haven't looked into android 3rd party gps apps.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
I think it depends on what you want to use it for. If you want google maps, then the maps program requires data use to show your location on the map. If you simply want Longitude and Latitude, then I'm sure you can get that with the GPS chip in the Xoom.

I've got the Xoom, and the GPS is a true GPS, not relying on cell towers or wifi to determine location. However, I don't know how well GPS works in a plane since I've never tried using a GPS device in a plane (I thought that wasn't allowed?)

Again, unless you have maps STORED on your device, data access is needed to download the maps in real time. Applications like TomTom store the maps on your device, but require an additional and substantial fee.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
so what can you do with the gps chip with no connection?

is there anway to save a preloaded map and use your gps chip to locate yourself on the previously saved map?

EDIT: So then theoretically I can dev an app that will have maps saved on the phone for use with no signal?
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
You should be able to get an app that gives you the GPS coordinates. Everything else is based of stored data, like others mentioned.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Uhmm, theoretically sure, but good luck getting the maps you're going to need, and starting from scratch would be hella painful. You would be better off purchasing a stand alone application with the maps. They usually run around $100, but I'm not sure what ones are available for Android.

They aren't normal maps, they're maps that contain location data, gps coordinates, etc.

Again, you can use a GPS app to pull your coordinates. Just do that and use a paper map to determine where you are? hehe
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
you might check out http://www.mapdroyd.com/
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
You really want to know why you can't use the GPS (of your mobile device) while you're flying?

You're not a commercial pilot I hope!

I'm sorry I'm just having a hard time picturing my Continental Airlines pilot asking for directions from texas to california because he forgot his Ipad at home.
[Xoom General] dino325:
I know the app AlpineQuest uses maps that you yourself create from a list of already available maps and then you load them onto your device and select them from the application. Its primarily for hiking since some terrain does not offer a 3g signal. But I recommend you check that out.
[Xoom General] klopikxda:
Does you tried IGO ???

(propably no plane support :) )
[Xoom General] pyrator:
Thanx

ok got my answer thank you!

Also the GPS on a device will not interfere with any aircraft electronics and is 100% ok during flight. AKA when not flying and riding along everyday for 4+ hours with nothing to do.
[Xoom General] pyrator:
Actually I am a FAA certified Commercial pilot, i have a degree from Embry-Riddle in Professional Aeronautics with dual minors in safety and business, over 275 combat hours alone just here in Afghanistan, so no that does not automatically mean you fly for the airlines.

Also you cannot use an unapproved system for your primary means of navigation. The only GPS you may use is an IFR approved unit with a current database. Also if you choose to go that route you must have a backup (VOR, NDB, etc).

See:

http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/02/faa-ipad/

http://www.wired.com/autopia/2010/06/new-airplane-should-motivate-apple-fanboys-to-be-pilots/

(just needs to be android not ipad)

The reason i ask is because when im not flying aka in the back aka a passenger, im bored and would like to be able to see where i am at on a map.

But thank you for contributing nothing to this post other than to launch a personnel attack against my creditability.:D

Rant over:

To everyone else who actually contributed to the post THANK YOU! I will try probably all of those apps lol. I just wish there was a FalconView port for android (open source DoD app designed for windows).

[Xoom General] pub00515:
Hi pyrator,

I too am a pilot (mind you, not FAA but on the other side of the pond) and I'm also very interested in using Android tabs for aviation.

Of course not IFR, but as a backup information in VFR should the Garmin fail (never did so far)

It would be very interesting to find out what the real capabilities of the onboard sensors are.

Take the gyro for example: if it doesn't drift, it might be an interesting source for a poor man's EADI (attitude indicator) should your vacuum pump quit. It all depends if it is influenced by accelerated flight (I've looked at a few apps that wanted to simulate an AI but they relied on the accelerometers and, in a coordinated turn, you got zilch)

I'm a programmer so I guess writing an application would be an option, but its much more fun if you're not alone....

What do you think?
[Xoom General] gordec:
GPS in the Xoom is standalone. It works with wifi and 3g off. I installed copilot and it works as well as all the tomtoms and garmins that I have used. U get a beautiful 10 inch gps.

Agps is based on cellular signals.
[Xoom General] ds2dale:
1. Non-commercial VFR (in the US) you can use anything you want. You don't even need a chart. If you have a chart, it must be current. This may apply to map data.

2. The prohibition against using Cell Phones, etc while flying (in the US) is not a FAA rule but a FCC rule. If your 3G unit is transmitting from a high altitude the Cell(s) on the ground have a hard time figuring out which cell you're in.

3. As a Pax aloft, put the Xoom in airplane mode (turns off the 3G) after you've loaded up map data for your intended area and (fuselage skin notwithstanding) you should be able to follow along just fine. Keeping the unit near a window may be necessary.
[Xoom General] lghitis:
GPS in my xoom does not work without wifi.

I have read the threads and I am unable to make it work without wifi like driving. I have the maps incache, but the GPS signal does not show. The ipad does because I have use it multiple times. What to do. Many hours wasted.
[Xoom General] pyrator:
I ended up getting one and so far the GPS does tend to work, ok for flight. However, you need to put it in the windscreen to obtain a lock and then you can move it around the cockpit.

I can tell you the Attitude Indicator apps i have used do not tend to work in a coordinated turn due to the use of accelerometers vs GPS hdg and compass hdg.

(which would be better imo 3 degress per sec = standard rate or 10% of your Airspeed + 5)

EDIT: on a side note the windshield heat really messes up the mag compass haha!

If you were to write a app i would def. help !!!!

[Xoom General] VaKo:
For what it's worth, the Xoom is the first device I've seen that's managed to get a GPS lock while inside a commercial passenger plane.
[Xoom General] pirsiger:
The GPS in the Xoom is the best I've ever encountered, and I've had many many gps devices! For what it's worth I'm also a commercial pilot, and in 9 years of flying the Xoom is the first device that can obtain a sat lock and hold it in the cockpit of an A320. When you consider the amount of interference, cabling, heated laminate glass etc, this is quite some feat. The digi-compass, however, is useless due to the above!

Hands down this thing rocks, I thought my Garmin 310XT had the fastest acquisition times, but this thing picks up (and fast) in the house, hotel room, flight deck, car etc.

Very impressive.
[Xoom General] pappyfire:
I use CoPilot Live on both my Xoom and my Streak - works great! I think the version I bought with USA maps only was only around $5.
