[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Companies tend to have better market penetration in their home countries. RIM is doing pretty good in Canada, for example, but in the USA it's waning quite a bit (held up mostly by the corporate sector).

World-wide, the XB360 Dominates both the Wii and the PS3, and keep in mind the population of Japan is only a fraction that of the USA. It's simply no comparison. The USA is a mega-market compared to Japan.

It doesn't depend on location. The XB360 is better. It has a better infrastructure behind it (XBLive) and has better exclusives than the PS3. Even though the PS3 arguably has better hardware, most games tend to look and play better on the XB360 as well. The XBox also has much better developer and 3rd party support (Last.FM, Facebook/Twitter, WLM, Netflix, etc.).

The PS3 did sort of hamper itself at the beginning with its price, though. With a lower price it could have taken advantage of the XB360's equipment/failure issues, but the XB360 was so good that people got it even though it was a risky buy (and there's always warranty, you know).
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The Original XBox was pretty successful.

Windows Live is pretty successful.

Windows is a consumer product, and I'd say it's pretty successful with ~90% marketshare...

Windows is the consumer choice and the corporate choice.

People are more than free to remove it for Linux or buy a Mac. They don't because they want Windows. If Windows wasn't the consumer choice, OEMs would be using other OSes. Dell tried Ubuntu, and that failed hardcore...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exyljr:
Okay so, just got my Desire HD (first Android platform I've owned). I've installed hrrp://dl.google.com/android/installer_r10-windows.exe along with every update available.

I've just plugged my phone in and got this (attached picture). I've connected my phone via USB and tried running ADB in command prompt from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\Tool\ folder and get this ''adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked a thousand times over but I wasn't sure if the attached picture had something to do with my error?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice given.

I've managed to get ADB working correctly but I'm still getting device not found error. Is that something to do with the drivers the phone naturally installs when being connected via USB the first time?

Never mind, I've done it now, for anyone that has trouble setting this up for the first time, it's no doubt going to be that HTC Sync must be installed, without that the ADB doesn't recognize your device!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Google moved adb to platform-tools, and yep you need the htc driver package installed, but dont need htc sync :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brett523:
I have had the atrix for about two weeks now and love the phone, I havent had any problems with using handcent or any other third part messaging apps until a few days ago. All of a sudden messages that I previously deleted are coming back into my threads and in my currents conversations the phone is deleting tons of messasges. I removed handcent and even the stock messager is doing the same thing. I hace the text limit per conversation set at 1000 and I looked into every second I could think of and just have run out of ideas. Please help because this is extremely frustrating!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hondaguy:
if you have multiple text messaging apps installed on your phone try uninstalling all of them and see if the issue disappears. i am thinking that it might be a conflict between different 3rd party apps.

as a worst case scenario i would try a factory reset (which would delete all info and apps) and start again. there is a sms backup app in the market so you can backup everything first and restore after the reset
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brett523:
thank you I am going to try and delete all third party apps for a day or so then re install and if that doesnt work do the factory reset and just install one texting app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
Whenever I flash a cm7 zip settings shows in app drawer with a generic icon, and its name is com.android.settings.SETTINGS. any calls to settings causes settings to FC.

This started after I flashed the cm7rc2. Had no probs with cm7 until then. But now ANY cm7 flashes with these results.

I can take the settings.apk from the zip and adb push it to the system app directory, and it's dandy after a reboot. But they never flash in right anymore.

Tested w/cm6.1, and cm6.2 vanilla, and even ruu'd & re-rooted.

Used clockwork 2.5.0.7, 3.0.0.5, amon ra, and darch Godspeed. All provide same results.

Yes, when permitted I am formatting boot,system, data,cache,dalvik, and rebooting recovery.

So... who's got something for me? Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
You said you formatted, what about wipe/factory reset? Also, what else are you flashing? ROM,gapps,kernel,tweaks,apps,etc.? Could be a bid zip, try redownloading, try all the CM7 variants, aosp, nightly, RC2?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
All wipes and formats, Each zip I tried was downloaded on phone and 3 computers. No tweaks,kernels or gapps.

Same results.

Edit:

Actually, if I flash gapps, it boots to setup, but touching the android is not recognized, so I'm stuck there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
maybe wipe all, format all, flash rom only, reboot? then flash gapps, reboot? maybe try a different sd card? I'm at a loss that's really weird, never heard of it before... hope you can get it, if I come up with something better I'll post it, otherwise you got me :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
Oh, did all that. Including different sdcard.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
****ty, well hopefully you have a nandroid that will take, otherwise RUU :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
RUU was done. Mentioned in first post.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
3/10 had settings.apk load correctly. But the keyboard FC'S constantly, and the RomManager.apk doesn't install at all during flash.

Anyone else had these problems with 2.3.3?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luis2luis2:
yes i think i has this problem too

[HD2 General] kikikuku:
Hi. here is what i did.

Installed this software. SD formatter v2.0

Using window 7 32bit laptop

connect my hd2 to laptop via "USB drive method'

run the program, then select Full format/flash erase ON, then select - format size = adjstment OFF

it has been almost 2HR, and i have not completed the 1st of 3 step yet

Step 1: Overwrite erase <--this step alone take 2 hrs

Step 2: .....sumthing

Step 3: fortmat

after step 1 complete, i instantly

i get this message

Drive format complete !

Full Format

"flash erase" operation has been canceled because this device didnt support it.

Vol. info

File sys. = fat32

total space = 14.8G

cluster size = 32768 bytes

why does it take so damn long? How long does it take for u ?

why did i get this message ?

could i safely use this sd card to flash ? do I need to format again ?
[HD2 General] hayyaan:
This is pretty normal. This is the 'true' type of formatting where it erases every sector on the flash drive, overwriting all data.

The other 'quick' method just Re-writes the FAT allocation table or index if you like,and there is always the possibility of recovering data as a result.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Just amended that for you :D
[HD2 General] hayyaan:
Thank you.

positive feedback is always encouraged!
[HD2 General] losje:
This is also very dependent on the speed of your SD.

Some SD's only manage 1mb/s, others will do >30mb/sec
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
We have developer lift off!! ROFL

Paul @ Modaco has pretty much confirmed that he will get one.... hit up this link, http://android.modaco.com/category/506/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/ .
[LG Optimus 2x] MuggsDK:
Thats very good news :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] opusheks:
Good news!
[LG Optimus 2x] domi007:
Great!
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
Never heard of modaco before. Are his ROMs good?
[LG Optimus 2x] MaliciousKen:
I was initially wondering if I should get this device as it seems like there is lack of developers' support.

With support from paul, I am sure we can get a satisfactory custom rom.

Looks like I can order mine now.
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
Yeah Paul at Modaco is talented.... I have used his custom ROMs before on my Hero, must say i was very impressed! Hope the VillainROM team also get involved with this phone!
[LG Optimus 2x] peadarog:
He has also done some excellent work on the Nexus 1. He was the first to bring out a Sense Rom for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
I sure hope VillainRom will get involved. There work is very good

Cyanogen would be nice 2. All the superteams :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
Yeah ive been using VillainRom for my Hero for over a year now :) still keeps up with my girlfriends "stock" SGS! Pulser is the man, hes been saying how he doesnt like LG based on previous phones etc.... but i just hope he see's sense and starts developing for this monstor!
[LG Optimus 2x] Atomicman:
Yes!

Personally the LG 2X is the only interesting phone which is coming out now.

Galaxy S II -- too big

Desire S -- lol

Only the Motorola Atrix might be interesting as well, but the 2X seems to have better materials used.

With Paul on the phone, i'm sure the phone will get a great dev phone :-) and a lot of custom roms.. (ok, i only hope..)

Just waiting for the first Gingerbread 2.3 ROM running on the 2X and i'll get one.

Good bye Desire (even it is one of the best phones i've ever had)
[LG Optimus 2x] void88:
@Atomicman

i tested the sgs2 at the cebit few days ago and i was shocked how laggy this thing was.

maybe samsung will fix it until the official release but after that experience i'm 100% going with the optimus2x
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Also thought long about that, and chose the O2X.

As you say:

SGS2 - too big

Desire S - with dual-core would be cool, but isn't

Atrix - locked bootloader is a shame

Just hope that community support will bring O2X long life!
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
i just got mine LG Optimus 2x and WAUW!!! :D

LG has done a really good job, I'm so impressed with the speed of this device - no buggyness and no laggyness ;)

The stock is very nice although it's 2.2.1..

But I want custom ROMs NOW!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
Samsung are probably using their rubbish file system..... pfft typical
[LG Optimus 2x] De1v3c1o:
This sounds great!
[LG Optimus 2x] Gnuig:
Great news! :D

Can't wait to receive mine!

Cheers...
[LG Optimus 2x] uzirox:
Paul, with the Acer Liquid, buyed it and selled it like a month later for a nexus one (if I remember well). So we must "pray" that he will not buy a Galaxy S2 or something as soon as it comes available :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Yep, I remember that.

The difference is that Liquid was quite cheap device, I guess this time it won't be so ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] DocRambone:
Was the same with galaxy s... started kitchen and then abandoned it.
[LG Optimus 2x] larsn84:
Looking forward to Paul's rom. Hope it comes with 2.3
[LG Optimus 2x] jonnyair:
but how much dev's are going to get this phone besides paul? it's pretty quiet in the dev thread at the moment.

or are there any scandinavian forums out there, where the fun takes place? :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] dagrim1:
Well, the main problem is that it's not really available yet. It is in for example the netherlands but not yet widely.

My guess is that support will grow once this is the case because it seems to be a great piece of work (after using it for 2 days now).
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
Hmm well if you think about it most devs would have had the G1 yeah? which means that they would be on T-Mobile, there are quite a few people looking at getting this phone after looking at the comments on this blog..... http://androidandme.com/2011/03/car...-revive-the-g-series-with-lgs-g2x-optimus-2x/

correct me if im wrong :)
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
It will change significantly if the G2x is popular in the US (where 80% of English language Android devs are).

If it's not popular in the US (read: North America), it will not be popular with developers. Period.

Fingers crossed eh?
[LG Optimus 2x] Moonie17:
One can only hope :)
[LG Optimus 2x] peadarog:
Modaco (Paul O'Brien) got his 2x tonight :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Goddchen:
I'm going to get a 2X too when it is available in Germany. And i'm going (try) to port CM if noone has done so before then...
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
I don't know when the 2x is gonna be available in Germany but if you want to speed things up, you can order it from Denmark and it'll be shipped the same day (:

If you want I can find the cheapest deal for you and send the link ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Would be cool if you could give a ling to retailer which ships to whole EU ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
If he's in Germany he can get in a train for an hour (or so) and buy one in Belgium, France or Netherlands... ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Novek:
I've had mine since Thursday...

There is not going to be any custom ROMs before a custom recovery is in place (Paul has managed to get cwm to run on his star, so hopefully he'll release it soon). So not much for the moment, but I can tell that there already is a little team working on CM7... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
For sure :) I will post it when I come home tonight :)
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
Or to Denmark :) Denmark is connected geographically to Germany ;)

But there's about a two days delivery time to Germany from Denmark, so it will be stupid to jump on a train..
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
here you go:

[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
It seems that a lot of people are willing to do roms for 02x, the problem is that they dont have the phone yet. Faster lg faster!! :)
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
My link to a danish web store ships worldwide and as I wrote earlier, the LG Optimus 2x has been available here in Denmark for 3 weeks now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] El Norupz:
Update to the good news:

Paul from Modaco announced on his twitter yesterday that he was uploading ClockworkRecovery beta and it'll be available today ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
So we can get CWM on our LG's?

[LG Optimus 2x] fen_nyc:
When will LG lists some sales data on the 2x? I know a bunch of my Korean friends have it & they've told me it's pretty popular. What about Europe? I suppose we'll need to wait for their quarterly earnings report...?

Its out and working fine. Check out the development section.

I want to be able to turn off the Radio only so that when I'm Wire-Tethered to my PC and playing a game I don't get any calls or texts to slow down my connection or be disturbed.

I found a thread in general where someone advised using tasker but it's $6 and I just want to be able to disable radio only. Airplane mode kills everything.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
There has to be a way...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesprivateaccount:
There might be a way to do it via dial pad commands. I know that I was able to do this on a Droid in the past. I'm looking into, but make no promises.

edit:

Ok, this is what I've come up with.

*#INFO*1111# - Testing mode

Go into Phone Info...

Scroll down to Set preferred network type:

CDMA only

This should make it so the only cellular connection would be a data connection.

For my phone WCDMA Preferred is the default, which should be what you want to go back to to allow phone calls again.

Let me know if that works for you?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkechitkid:
There's an app I used when I was on Eclair called Widgetsoid. It was the ability to toggle pretty much anything u can think of on your phone. I havent installed it since upgrading to Froyo so I can't verify that it can do what you need but its free and probably worth the download in any case. Check it out and let me know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesprivateaccount:
details of what this app can do are on the developer's website:

http://jaumard.android.free.fr/widgetsoid/

Doesn't list being able to disable text/voice while keeping data alive.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
Thanks guys I'll check out both of those!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
No it doesn't but I tried it anyway and found that no, it really doesn't. Thanks for trying though. I'm having a brainfart on typing letters into the dialer... how is that done again?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesprivateaccount:
Just goto the phone dialer and type in those exact *,# and numbers (info is 4636)

once you put in the last # it will take you to the "testing" menu.

Let me know how it goes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
OK, I see it... will let you know how it works... Also, aren't our phones supposed to be set to CDMA? It had unknown and now it shows WCDMA. Isn't this the cause of the TWS bug?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
It works great... Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesprivateaccount:
Happy to help. I'm not sure exactly why it starts with WCDMA and then goes to unknown, haven't really looked into it too much.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
It is the cause of the TWS bug. Our phones are constantly searching for a gsm signal never to be found. Causing battery drain. It has to do with the Galaxy S i9000 being gsm and samsungs poor ability to make changes to the coding.

Sent from my always stock, froyo Epic
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeODoubleD:
This actually assisted in correcting or at least varifying another problem's solution. I've seen forum discussions point to PRL updates solving the TWS issue but other say it doesn't. However I installed sprintzone and let it install the PRL for my area. In doing so it set the default radio search shown using steve's info trick shown above. And no more TWS after reboots.

Woohoo!

[Droid Eris General] Blkbty:
Just want to say thanks to all the devs for making me love my Eris again was about to throw it out a window till I found XDA. I've gone through a couple of roms so far and love tazzginger the best so far. Will be donating later this week thanks for everything. Also would of posted in tazzs thread but this is my first post
[Droid Eris General] CadsterMTX:
I second this post. Since I bought my Eris last May, I've really grown to love Android and the features that are tied in with so many of Google's services. That being said, I was starting to get a little tired of looking at the same-old, same-old HTC Sense and frustrated that Verizon discontinued the phone 2 months after I bought it and HTC stopped updating us after a wildly-delayed 2.1.

As the Verizon iPhone launch grew closer, even though I had no desire to leave Android, I was starting to get a little iLust in me. That's when I knew it was time to renew my commitment to the loveable little Droid, but to do so, I would have to turn to the mod community for help.

So about a month ago, I nervously flashed my first ROM, Nonseniskal v16.1. After a few weeks, I found and flashed GSB. It continually amazes me how this community works endlessly to keep bringing the newest Android OSes and new features to a device that everyone else has long counted out of the game.

The people of XDA and the rest of the Android mod community is what Android is really all about. Thank you all.

Welcome to rooting and the forum, both of you!
[Droid Eris General] TheGratefulDead:
Thanks to all devs. i had eris for more then a year never rooted till like last week im running GSB v1.9 and wow its a whole new phone this will hold me over till november upgrade thanks again xda and devs
[Droid Eris General] Decon1:
Hiyas!

Gonna jump aboard this thread. I am a carbon copy of the comments above.

I have had my ERIS from nearly the day it hit the main stream Verizon market. As my wife and children began to catch and pass me with all the new gear I still loved my phone. It's the Right Stuff! Slim, not to big or little, trackball for easy use and amazingly it's an excellent phone. I've had a few. AT 62 I had the first ones, the big "Brick"s".

Not like a lot of "old folks" I love this stuff. I'm a gamer and build my own rigs. As my ERIS was being left for dead I started to read here and other forums on rooting. A month ago it started. Once rooted, I began changing ROMs like my socks eventually settling on the KAOSFroyo but with GO Launcher EX which I believe to be the best of the best.

Last night was Gingerbread (Go Launcher EX) I love it! This is truly the "Little Phone That Could".

Thanks Devs, the support folks, and all the informational posters here. I am not in any hurry to replace the ERIS....it fits me :-)

Regards and Thanks,

Dennis

[Droid Eris General] mdeblaz:
I would also like to chime and say thanks to zach.xtr! xtrSense has been on my Eris since the day I rooted, and I haven't even had the urge to try another ROM.

Set cpu? Lol. Why pay for what your droid can do on its own?

Hmm the words foot in mouth come to mind lol see comment below. £:0 ← €≥√

Still I like cpu Tuner.. its a nice app if you don't have one ur attached to.
[Desire HD General] a33a:
A)Set to Smartass governor.

B)Clock MAX speed to anything you want to (make sure its below 1870MHZ or you will have crashes

C)Set/leave MIN at 245MHZ

Make sure you get a custom kernel ( Lee's Is good with his ROM - LEEDROID)

Also have a look at the links CitizenLee posted -Especially the last one about the governors.

Good Luck! :)

You need to flash a custom kernel - have an exploration around the Desire HD Android Development Board.
