[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
well isn't it better to have the issues ironed out now rather than later? imagine if there were more windows phones about? how much more trouble would it be?

it's not nice having a bricked phone, that's for sure. but at least they got it sorted now meaning that when actual updates come, it will be more seamless than it was for the majority of people.

from the way i see it, it wasn't the features themselves that caused the issue but it was the update process (in backing up the information and that). so given that they ironed that out, i don't see why the introduction of new features would cause any issues.

only time will tell though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Maybe so, but there has to be a limit to how long a customer has to wait; how long the devs are allowed to work on the stuff. If 20 workers aren't getting the updates out fast enough, put 100 workers on it. There are resolutions rather than making the consumer wait that will accomplish the objective. Right now there has been news that Mango won't come this year. I love WP7 but am glad I have my iPhone for the gadget loving nature in me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
there is only so much that can be done. piling more workers in (in technology realm that's called "crashing") can only get you so far before it becomes a hinderence. And that "news" about mango not coming this year is merely someone's hypothesis, it isn't news. If you read, it comes from a thought from Paul Thurrott, not from Microsoft. Where as other reports are saying that OEMs and Carriers will have the mango update by fall (US).

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/oems-and-carriers-to-get-wp7-mango-by-early-fall

so yea, it's all heresay. take it at a grain of salt, nothing more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Ever the optimist :) I never said it was from MS. But everything that has been speculated so far about the updates has been true. If MS can't get a non-update update out on time...in Feb... then the likelihood a real update coming out on time is minimal. I seriously doubt Mango will be out this year. And I also doubt the first update...the nodo one...will be here before summer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ErikWithNoC:
I'm going to have to agree. A simple update like Copy and Paste (not cut as that would take an extra month :p) should not take this long to come out (like I said earlier 4+ months). Now Microsoft wants to implement multitasking, an improved browser, and other features all this year? Those sound like tough implementations to have ready in a year if copy and paste has taken this long.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
NoDo is primarily bug fixes, I think they tagged C&P on as an afterthought so that those of us who got working devices feel like we gained something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
nothing wrong with optimism right? :D :P.

I was merely pointing out that the kerfuffle was really just focused around 1 blog post, and then carried around like it was official news. but you're right, i would of liked them to pump it out in jan so that they can show that they really do stand for the customers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] edufur:
Considering how every iPhone user who has seen my EVO would rather have it over their iPhone... I would say the rank goes like this:

1. Android (they actually have controlling market share right now over WM and iJunk)

2. iPhone

3. WM

I used to be a WM fanboy... but I waited more than long enough for a good product and nothing was delivered.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
There's no doubt the 4.3" line of phones from HTC are incredibly attractive. The Evo is a sweet phone and the new Inspire at AT&T is equally extremely attractive. But I think a lot of it is, "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" syndrome...lol. No matter how well any product is, there will always be some other thing we don't have that will drive us crazy. The Nexus S is my current bug. I read the specs on that fine piece of hardware and am in want. 3-axis gyro, front-facing camera, SAMOLED, that new payment deal...forget what it's called...where you swipe your phone at a receiver, and other good stuff. The Nexus S is an official counterpart to the iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ErikWithNoC:
Thats a pretty broad statement you make there. My Dads friend just switched from a Droid X (not an EVO, but probably one of the closest to it on Verizon) to and iPhone 4 (my reading skills need work as I forgot to see the word "my" :p). Nevertheless like Marty said there will always be something one phone has that another one doesn't. I personally like the bigger screened devices and the extra buttons, but I like iOS a bit more than Android so I have to deal with it. There is no perfect device.

Also do you find it surprising that Android has a bigger market share? I mean I feel like that is a pointless argument since there are 2 main iPhones vs 50+ android devices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Android_devices).
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
i played with the htc thunderbolt today and im impressed with it front facing camera for video calls and 4g and still no sign of support of either of these features on wp7. im going to try out the trophy hopefully if verizon still releases it next thursday. but i would hate to get it then they release 4g phones with front facing cameras by the fall time in time for the mango updates
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Since I'm with T-Mobile, I'm eagerly looking forward to the HTC Pyramid. 1.2Ghz dual-core goodness with 960x540 res.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DeathLamp:
My personal ranking would be:

1.Android

because its cleary an allrounder and functional.

2.WP7

because of its great design and great software-developing-environment.

3.IPhone

Also I think that WP7 has a great potential, but Microsoft has to give more power to the developers. Currently you can't even create good networkapplications due to the lack of socket-library (as far as I know, its there but not accessable).
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
1. WP7 as it's the only one that feels like a modern OS and incorporates all my needs without overkill

2. iOS as it sort of set the bar for phone OSes and unlike android it's lag free and has decent default apps. Too bad the UI is ugly as sin and the hardware selection sucks.

3. Android... it's slow, most of the phones have terrible battery life, the UI is a nightmare, and the phones are always outdated because OEMs have no real drive to update the devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ErikWithNoC:
Whether or not you like the iPhone 4's hardware (I personally find it to be one of the best looking phones to date) it is rather convenient. By only having one phone Apple can release updates fast, while Android and even WP7 are having issues with updates. I will also say this again: If you think the iPhones UI is ugly (which it is in default) jailbreak the thing and theme it! My iPhone looks 10000000x better now that I've themed it :D.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Oh no it's a beautiful device, I just need a bigger screen and keyboard. I'd get one and put the WP7 theme on it if it had either a hardware keyboard or just a bigger screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Have you seen the keyboard hardcase? Operates off of Bluetooth and act like an iPhone 4 case with sliding landscape keyboard.

[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I still wonder what drives you to repeat this false mantra about Android. It's totally not true.

Anyway my rank?

As for today:

1. Android

2. iOS

3. WP7

Why? Because of the features. Nice UI wears off after month or two, you need features after.

But my rank is a compromise of course, since all of the OSes lack something definitely. The thing is the only aspect Android is failing is the UI which is more or less messy. Other than that it's the king.

I use WP7 however beacuse it's the growing ecosystem. I mean the ingredients are there, to make a full experience for powerusers too. In a basic way all of the things are supported.

I rely the decision of staying with WP7 on the MS statements regarding the tempo of the upgrades and the features they will bring.

I'm already tempted by some Androids. The thing which keeps me with WP7 is the whole metro concept. However the issues start to annoy me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Oh wow... that's actually sort of awesome... I may have to get the one I gave to my fiance back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] greenbrd:
I manage a website in the US for a consumer product. The site isn't optimized for mobile, but we get some visits from mobile devices anyway.

I think this Google Analytics report of our mobile device traffic dating back to around the time Windows Phone launched is pretty interesting commentary on how the average person ranks WP7 vs iPhone vs. Android.

The high points on the chart coincide with an ad campaign we ran in print and online (no mobile ads). Interestingly enough, some of the online ads ran right here on XDA.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Unless the Windows line includes WinMo devices, that really wouldn't be indicative of WP7 because of it being so new. It would be interesting to view a chart like this in about a year, giving WP7 time to gain in the market.
[HD2 General] rocket69:
Hi every one.

Having strange issues with the HD2 some calls come through to my phone but some just ring twice then get hung up on without showing any info on my phone.

At the moment im running MDJ nand rom radio 2.15.50.14 alos having same issue on a nexus one with aribic os installed.

I have reinstalled and whiped but still same issue no call blocking apps on the phones and its only sum numbers that are blocked some att numbers can get through others cant bolth land line and cell

bolth phones are t-mobile and on difrent contracts and names
[HD2 General] chochoking:
Same issue
[HD2 General] rocket69:
Strange wonder what it could be whats your rom, radio,provider.

I dont like it one bit as this phone is my biz line and dont know howmany calls im missing. they cant even get my voice mail.

Any others fell free to chime in on what could be the issue
[HD2 General] rocket69:
Aww WTF i fell like a noob Settings>Call settings>Blacklist dont know how the numbers black listed on my phone and my buddys bolth are using cyanogen V7 mabe some back door in the os or some other app
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You know it is kind of odd you would say that seeing as all of MDJ Cyanogen Mod stuff just resently got pulled from XDA. Hmmmmmmmmm.
[HD2 General] rocket69:
why did he get all his stuff pulled ?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Something about not revealing his sources for some of his work, but that is all I really know about it right now. I just learned this information yesterday.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Its you as the user, not paying attention when ending the call :) :) :)

MDJ failed to make his stuff available I understand, and that is in conflict with the open source stuff so until then - its sad as his work is fantastic :(
[Nook Color General] joefadone:
I upgraded my girl's Nook Color from Rooted 1.01 Autonooter 2.12.25 to Rooted 1.1 Autonooter 3.0.0

Everthing is working fine but she says that she preferred the bootanimation from Autonooter 2.12.25 better.

Does anyone know where I can get the /system/bin/bootanimation and /data/local/bootanimation.zip from Autonooter 2.12.25 ?

Alternately, can you tell me if/how I can extract them out of the Autonooter 2.12.25 .img ?

EDIT: Never mind. I got the files I needed.

Please try again

It can still detect the USB connection, however it will always timeout. Can anyone help me out with this? I am new to this; So if you can be as detailed as possible it will be great. Thanks in advance.

Update:

So far i've tried loading rom from sdhc card formatted FAT32. With Matbee's version and also Cfays wm6.1. Both however are stuck at Loading after bootloader.

I've tried connecting it to windows but since it won't sync, I can't do anything there. At this point, anything I can do or try is worthwhile.

Thanks.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge13:
I'm running KaosFroyo v39 and am able to run a few live wallpapers, but not all. Is there a fix for this? I have the nexus one wallpaper apk. but it wont load. It just gives me a blank screen. It does this for many of the wallpapers. Can anyone get it to work? If so, what rom are you running?

thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew951:
Live wallpapers are resolution-specific and many are unable to run on the droid eris due to the slow speed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emaninthenation:
This is very true but there is the 2.1 nexus launcher rom that allows to use the rest of the wallpapers but I doubt you would want to roll back.

I had the same problem with the Nexus live wallpaper, but then I found this thread and it is now working flawlessly.

[HD7 General] atlaswing:
friend w/ new HD7 asked me to find out 2 things:

1. Can you increase text size of the buttons in the bottom pull-up curtain like options/dialpad/menu/phonebook/answer/settings/ etc etc? those virtual buttons that come up when you click on the corner 3 dots are almost unreadable, especially for ex WindowsMobile users. Same for the tiny and transparent call/answer buttons that pop up.

2. Does apn change matters at all for the TmoUS tzones? i.e. can different apn profiles be saved like in WinMo? When trying the 3 T-zones apn's wap epc and internet2, I have to input and test them one by one and can't find the option to save them. Does not seem to matter which apn I use, as I can put my cats name in it and t-zones still works, but just in case, i've left the wap one on there.

Searched w/ various keywords, could not find these answers for the HD7 on TmoUS Tzones. I myself still have the HD2 on WinMo and Android dualboot, don't know anything about wp7, nor have any intention of using it myself, just trying to help friend out. thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] student.driver:
I have a T-Mobile US Tab that was only rooted, but running stock firmware. I liked it and it ran well enough for me. However, last night it started lagging and locking up a lot, to the point I tried to reset. Well, it appears this has a bad load because wiping it from in the OS or in the recovery didn't do anything but make it worse to the point where it wouldn't get past the lock screen. I have 8 Android devices, and this is the first that didn't wipe correctly.

Fine, I figured I'd go ahead and try Overcome 1.2.0 with CWM (3.0.0.0 it appears) and make the move to EXT4. CWM is on it, but it isn't mounting /data correctly (complains about arguments and acts like it's still RFS, which it may be). So, what do I do now? I wouldn't mind going forward with the Overcome ROM and EXT4, but at the same time I'd also be fine with a working stock ROM. I downloaded Rotohammer's deodexed stock ROM for T-Mo Tabs, but I didn't think it would work since some of the partitions are likely EXT4.

So what's next? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] Adapt0r:
Sorry to hear that, but you can fix it.

I would recommend only something that I have good experience with, and this is Modako kernel and ROM developed by Paulobrien.

I also have Tmo Tab and after flashing these two don't look any further. No issues so far and the Tab has no noticeable lag with any application.
[Galaxy Tab General] student.driver:
That's a consideration as well. I'm going to check out his ROMs tomorrow when I'm more awake. :-)
[Galaxy Tab General] student.driver:
I wound up sending it in to the Samsung repair center in Texas, and it had a bad part on it (BGA, Ball Grid Array component?). It's due back on Wednesday, which is around 2.5 weeks after I sent it in.
[Android Software Development] ziggy_ua:
Hello dear users!

I really need someone's help in making the java app running on my Samsung Galaxy S, if possible)

I've tried J2me but it was useless.

The app I'm mentioning is the hand-made Live Schedule Manager, it is the following--1 jar file and folder "lib" with 6 jar files. When launched it downloads info from the internet.

Any way to run it?

I would be more than greatfull and donations are guaranteed)

Thanks in advance
[Android Software Development] vladistan:
Android environment is very different from j2me. You can't expect j2me programs to just run in this environment. You have to port it, which could be quite significant work depending on how complex the application is.
[Android Software Development] PsHegger:
I can tell you how to run java apps on android, but it doesn't mean you don't have to port it (maybe it works without modifications, but if it has a UI don't expect from it to work)

Here's a step by step tutorial (you need to have root permissin on ypur device):

1, download the android sdk

2, run 'dx --dex --output=myapp.jar */*.jar' (without quotes)

3, copy myapp.jar to your sdcard

4, I'm android terminal run the following commands:

a, su

b, dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/myapp.jar myapp.EntryPoint

Of course you have to change the entry point

[Vibrant General] hitman818:
I dont get step 6. How are we suppose to flash that using odin? In previous cm7 roms we didnt do that. We just flash efsbackup.zip, then flash initial kernel.tar, and last flash the initial zip. Also what if we went back to stock, how are we suppose to flash a 2.2 kernel?
[Vibrant General] Quiketaz:
This steps is for make a backup of your IMEI in order to apply the efsbackup.zip, this is in the case you are from stock, and don´t have any recovery installed, you can install only the kernel with CWM inside.

If you need to go back in stock, just flash an stock ROM via odin with partition checked.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
I dont get what you said. Cant we just flash the efs backup.zip, then the kernel.tar and the rom? Also I am already on stock.
[Vibrant General] Quiketaz:
If you can flash efs-backup.zip, that means you have CWM recovery, so you can skip the step 6.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
Also I heard the efsbackup.zip converts your filesystem to ext4. Is that true?
[Vibrant General] galobiela:
Problem with step 6

I have a problem with step 6.

This is the first time I'm doing this so I just Rooted my Vibrant and got Clockworkmod and made the backups.

I got the files and now I am in step 6:

These are the steps I took:

I downloaded the kernel for step 6 (cwk_5_color.zip) and copied it into the internal sdcard.

I rebooted to recovery mode and selected "install zip from sdcard"

I then go and select "choose zip file from sdcard"

I select the file cwk_5_color.zip

I confirm the install and as it seems to start the installation I get the error:

E:Can'tchown/mod /system/etc/init.d

(No such file or directory)

E: Failure at line 6:

set_perm_recursive 0 0 744 0744 SYSTEM:/etc/init.d

Installation aborted.

Any ideas why I get this error??

Should I just go on with step 7??

Any help is appreciated!!

I have recently bought an Incredible S, and it is a great device, but I would like to gain root access for certain apps. The development forum is dead, I presume anyone with the knowledge and inclination as avoided this phone (and is waiting on the dual cores) so I decided to look for myself, but I am stuck. Either the people who usually discover root on these devices don't like documenting processes and methods, or I am loking in totally the wrong place. Can anyone give me pointers on where to start looking or where I can find info on where to start looking, or am I just barking up the wrong tree and sounding really thick?
