And if apple didn't provide the update, the apple community would as well. Not sure what the point is here.

Edit: and how is this different than your "what Android can do that the iPad can never do" post? I wish I could ignore all posts posted by a particular user. I think you're would be on my list.

We need a "Public Shaming" button next to "Thanks"
[Xoom General] richardjr:
I sincerely don't understand why you come here if it's just to denegrate everything android, why ( and no I really am not trying to make this personal), but whenever someone points out an advantage over IOS we have some fan boy coming in to "rain on the parade", what you can never say anything positive about the android operating system nor the community, on a frigging ANDROID board. You know your right I might almost like an ignore user button, if it weren't for the fact that I actually enjoy an OPEN system.
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Great and right next to it a Apple fan boy button that integrates with every android board, hey we could almost be as closed for forums as IOS is in their operating system.
[Xoom General] tjleeland:
Actually, you're right. XDA has a big enough problem with public shaming as it is. We don't need a button to make it easier.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Dude, you made a retarded statement and people called you on it. You literally said that one of the reasons you like Android more than iOS is that on Android your device won't get updated for 8 months after the public release of an update, and then the community would have to patch together a competent update to fulfill the needs of the users. Compared to Apple where you would have had the update as soon as the update was available and you would continue getting updates on the day of their release for 2 years after your device was released.

How does that make any sense?
[Xoom General] richardjr:
Th point I was trying to make, and granted it seems I might have failed, is that we in the android community do not live in a closed system, if either the the OS doesn't do what we want OR the hardware has been artificially limited by the manufacturer we have a large community that has the opportunity to change things based on the overall openness of the operating system, apple's IOS does not have that because they have a closed oppeeating system, granted they seem to not have needed it near as much due to the overall completeness of their operating system, but this might not always be the case.

I prefer an overall open operating system to a closed one, at least when it comes to mobile technology.
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
Seriously man. This makes no sense. When does Apple not update their devices. I'm an android fanboy and I still think this comment of yours is retarded.

You need to get off this forum.

There are threads made by you in here that have nothing to do with the Xoom at all.

If they did make an ignore button you'd probably be the most popularly ignored.

If you want to thank the developers go through the appropriate channels. Its people like you and the people that are on here complaining that is making me think about switching forums.

I don't see why people have to be harsh on this forum, the guy made a post, if u don't like it just move on, if the mods think its a waste of space or not in the right section then they will move it
[Xoom General] mattdb:
I so agree, the xoom forum sure is harsh....
[Xoom General] burden010:
The Xoom forum is harsh. I think it's because of all the crap topics and FUD spread by fanbois recently.

OP's post wasn't exactly brilliant, nor even about the Xoom tbh but although it is blatant Fandroidism at least he's on the right side ;)
[Xoom General] RadDudeTommy:
I don't want someone on my side that's going to make me look like an idiot fanboy.

This Thread is a waste, and quite honestly i'm surprised it hasn't been closed.

Not only was the OP's post not "brilliant" it was straight retarded.

He basically said he prefers to have Android over IOS because Apple updates their devices, and Android doesn't get all the updates because the Sprint and Verizon don't keep up with their ****.

It makes no sense, and when people post things like this in public forums it makes Android Fans seem stupid.

Lets also bring this to the attention: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE XOOM WHATSOEVER.

I'm just going to go to Apple and be like, I don't choose you because I hate how your devices are always improving with no need of the community to do all the hacking.

Then I'll go to Sprint and tell them I want an Android phone because I love how you don't update it.

We stopped ignoring these posts on this forum because they are all over. I can only see a retarded comment so many times before I have to intervene and tell them what it is.

need help xda...

I was flashing to stock 2.2 using odin one click.

My phone will NOT

turn on

boot to recovery

or boot to download screen.

I have currently sent it to samsung to get it fixed, and it is under warranty.

But i believe they will return it without a repair because ive heard this voids the warranty.

Help? any suggestions
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
well I guess you just wait and see...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
You should (have told?)tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and the power went out, crashing your desktop PC. This will not void your warranty.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rww265:
yeah.. i did i told them i was doing an ota update and the power went out. hopefully it works out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g8tes69:
you cannot brick a galaxy s phone..... you should have done some research on this forum... i just now got thru making a jig and forced my phone into download mode , ou could have easily done the same.... i also had a failed flash with odin on my captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
I think, Samsung will repair it or will give you a replacement (refurbished)...if not than..

If it is from ATT then tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and followed instructions on the ATT website...but some how it was dead in between....as you have warranty on it for one year

They will replace (will give u refurb phone) it..I got two replacements lol

Refurb phone are better then dead paper weight...so try your luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
you are wrong, it can be bricked. I was doing Odin and my battery went dead (a very stupid mistake done by me)..There is no hope if the phone is completely not responsive....not even Jig will work...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rww265:
well, i wanted to see if samsung would fix it first, and if they do for free its something i wont have to worry about...

I am posting here as a way to ensure that in the off chance that they dont fix the phone that i have a back up plan...

plan c is to get the nexus one. lol
[Atrix 4G General] jasonruss3763:
Just got my atrix and really need some help. I've rooted it and put adeo v.1 on it but still in the dark about how to install *.apk and alot more other stuff. and help or instruction on general things like how to open a shell terminal to do some of this. I use to do alot of this kind of stuff on computers but have been out of this kind of stuff for a long time. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] daveop:
The easisest way to install them is to either download them direct to the phone or toss them on your SD card, and think of them as executibles. They need to be clicked on from your phone and installed just like an app on your computer. they may ask for superuser depending on what they do.
[Atrix 4G General] MattZ71:
So yesterday I got a email form att telling me that they would be doing cell tower maintaince in my zip code area. and I could have cell interruption from 5pm to 8pm cst. So my phone weren't crazy on searching for singal, no signal, h+ so on....and when I went to our cabin that night my cell service has always been on edge with 2 bars, when I looked at my phone I had H+ and did a speed test and I a upload speed of 900+ till it went crazy again searching for signal.

Today I called att tech sport and the guy I talked to was probley the nicest one I have talk to, and he spoke english!!! I asked him about my phone getting 900+ in upload for a few min and back to 300 today. He said that att was upgrading the cell tower in my area to handle backhaul, hsupa. And lte and so on... And won't be fully avaibile till a couple of months. And that it's in the radio of 4g phones is the reason of the upload speeds begin slow and that full hsupa. Hspa+, and lte was slightly differnt radio signals and when att has upgraded fully on the cell towers that hsupa, and hspa+ will be full effect in my area and my phone would auto pick it up, And that there shouldnt be no patch I do on my phone. And went on saying that 4g phones were realased before they should have been. Kinda like buying tires for a car that u aint bought yet.

That's just what he told me.???
[Atrix 4G General] alphadog00:
And while you were listening to this story did you ask why the iPhone has had HSUPA speed since launch?

Believe what you want, but when speedtest shows you HSUPA upload speeds, then report back.

He is talking 4G - we all know that 4G requires backhaul modifications - none of what he told you addresses HSUPA deficiencies.
[Atrix 4G General] goscrewsir:
Nice to hear. Hopefully its true.
[Atrix 4G General] MattZ71:
Just put pictures in my first post. All he said about iphone was that it was in contact from apple to att for att not to disable data performance. Dont know of any truth to it. And also to add that all other 4g phones radios were differant to keep from cell tower over load till cell tower upgrade is complete.

I'm just a messanger.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ctrl1122:
When I install an app that is just a widget or has widgets that come with the program they don't show up in the widget list. This has happened before after I flashed a rom. Only the apps I restored from titanium backup would show up in the widget list. And some widgets that I would add to the home screen would disappear after a reboot. Eventually it just stopped doing all this but it has started happening and I'm not sure what's causing it. Any ideas on how to solve this?

I have a D1, Liquid gingerbread 1.3-update1, and GO launcher.

Hi all,

Just like to be able to use a hardware key instead of a touchscreen button for the dhd, I'm on 2.2 on coredroid which I love, I like the normal HTC camera app but i loathe the lack of a hardware key dedicated to the camera (not good HTC)

So does anyone have any idea how I / we can map either up or down on the volume to the take a picture button?

Thanks and I hope someone can help, a zip or apk would be fantastic.

Cheers.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredkadet:
Hi,

So I've built myself a solar powered battery pack for my awesome Tab. Running into a problem though:

I'm using a 3.7V 10.000 mAh lipo battery and a switching regulator to boost the voltage to 5.3V through USB. The regulator is rated at 3A and my batterypack can do a sustained 5A discharge.

I've also built into the female USB the little resistors to "let the Tab know" it's connected to something capable of delivering more than 500Ma USB is specced to deliver (this thread). Problem is even with the resistors i'm only getting about 500mA of charge, much lower than when connected to mains...:confused: I'm thinking i'm still not convincing the phone it can pull more current, either that or something is wrong with my booster setup.

Anybody have any ideas??

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarlockM:
What sw regulator did u use??
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredkadet:
Hi WarlockM,

It was this one: http://www.lightobject.com/DC-to-DC-power-module-step-up-Input-35V28V-Output-535V-Ideal-for-solar-panel-regulator-P498.aspx

I measured the current coming out of the battery whilst charging: 500-600mA... Figured something wasn't right so replaced the whole setup with an all-in-one solution from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220712755881&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

This one really does a nice job, it charges the phone at 1.5A coming out of the battery so probably a little less going into the phone because of stepup (does require the resistors in USB though). It also smartcharges the lipo batterypack at 800mA straight from USB, or in my case solar panel aswell. What's more it indicates the charge level, so am pretty chuffed.

Will be posting pictures of finished product.

Cheers, Fred
[Adam General] no6969el:
EDIT: I have fixed my issue by flashing to the EDEN rom, because of the size alone it must write over some files that the utopia and beast do not so this was my solution. :)

When I first got my Adam I tested HDMI out and it worked fine, used it on 3 different tvs with no issues.

I switched to Utopia rom and I lost the ability at that time.

I then did complete wipe factory reset and flashed The Beast rom 1.2 and the HDMI still didnt work.

I then flashed The Beast rom 1.3 without a wipe and still no success.

Everything else works fine.

If anyone is having an issue with your HDMI out not working please post and also note if it never worked or if not when it stopped working.

I really hope there are no hardware issues we have to worry about...
[Adam General] no6969el:
Edit : Fixed

Just as an update post I have fixed my HDMI issue.

I decided to do a full wipe/cache clear and flash to the Eden rom in an attempt to get my HDMI working. To my delight the issue has been resolved. So if anyone loses their HDMI out you might want to flash to the eden rom with enhancements.

Im sure I can flash from here on and still have HDMI but im done for tonight.
[Adam General] clockcycle:
I think these 3 lines would summarize the dismissal of it being a hardware issue.

Glad to see you got yourself fixed up. I would post and let the authors/devs of Utopia, of which Beast is heavily based on, about your findings.

Hi. I am a Sense fan and using v13 right now. I have problems with sign in/set up to my Coorp mail account. Everytime i get an error. I am absolutely sure that the configuration is right. I tried to find a solution but without luck. I also used/tried 2.2 Sense rom on my hero and had no problem. My Q is, is it possible to mod the 2.2 Sense mail.apk to make it working on 2.1 sense roms.? Also the 2.2 Sense mail.apk has the "peak time" feature which helps to save a lot of Battery time.

Hi guys,

Just did a titanium backup and noticed a new app that needed backing up. HTC sync 868.

I haven't installed this so was wondering if anyone knew where this came from?

Its a legitimate app allowing syncing between the and outlook.

Thanks paul.
[Desire HD General] a33a:
HTC Sync installs this app on your phone when you sync it. It's probably from a HTC update.
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
Curious to know why messages sometimes fail. I know if i dont have service, thats an obvious answer. Sometimes though I will see the failure notification and then i glance up and see that I have service. Did I loose service and it came back that fast / I didn't see it, or do messages just " some times fail" ??? Please point me to the reasoning of this, I am techy and am very curious why.

This happens maybe 1once every 1,000-2,000 messages, so not very often at all. And I have noticed this at home at my desk, driving ( passengering) in the car. ect.

As well as do the -DB account for the signal bars, ( I have a widget that shows signal bars and -DB) or is DB something that goes along with signal strength?
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
??????????????
[Captivate General] djnoicatse:
If this happens once every 1000-2000 msgs I wouldn't worry.
[Captivate General] GSMinCT:
I probably average one of these a day, half because of signal, half not. I think it's just AT&T. I wouldn't worry about it.
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
Well I'm curious why it happens.....?
[Captivate General] etewald:
happens to everyone. if it's not happeninga lot, deal with it.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
there definitely was already a thread about this. It is from a momentary network drop possible a corrupt packet along the way or some obscure system problem. Unless it is happening every message (which happens to me at home because of ****ty reception) just suffer through the 5 seconds and three clicks. There is not a magical fix all solution by changing a setting
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
Is this a cappy thing or AT& T thing? Apparently again there are. 2 towers down in my area...
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
...you just answered your own question. If your reception is so great with 2 towers then it must be your captivate. Most people don't go through perfect cell reception for several thousand messages so a couple of fail to send are not a problem
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
I said 2 towers are down. But I'm in a different area and I fail like. 1 outa. 70 with good service. This has just been a common problem today. Otherwise it is seldome.
[Captivate General] Fall0n:
I think we all have this issue, no matter the phone. All comes down to the primary factor - AT&T
[Captivate General] JJ133169:
Lol the irony. I came down south 70 miles from where my home is where the down towers are, only to hear there's down towers in this area as well. Haha
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Sorry did not see they were down plus the moonshine making had me a little loopy. With down towers in the area the other ones are being over taxed. Att already has problems with their networks being assaulted by iphone users

My wife is due for a new phone and is moving to ATT with me, she wants a smart phone but not an iPhone because it's not in the budget right now. I love my inspire but I like to tinker with everything. Does anyone out there have a significant other, not geek type with an Inspire? Do they like it?

Her expertise with smartphones isn't great but she does ok to use my ipad and iPod touch. I'm considering the Inspire or a *gasp* Windows 7 phone.

Thoughts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I would say an inspire is fine as long as she can live with the battery life. If not windows mobile.. My wife has a captivate, and refuses to let me root it and flash a custom rom. She likes my inspire a lot stock and rooted with core droid. Its an awesome little phone.

What I usually do to decide is just go to an ATT store where they have working models and just play around with a phone and decide if I like it or not.
