[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] diesburg:
It think plenty of right is reserved for someone to instruct him to take the ad down. As said above, a certain % of what he makes should be donated to developers, then it would be okay. But we know damn well that he won't donate anything. So I don't think it's right or should be done unless donations are gave to the developer of whatever software is being used. If you took all the time to make such a good rom such as typhoons cm7, I'm sure you wouldn't like someone selling it on an auction site.... but the ones who say this is okay I don't think are developers so you don't understand..... I'm not a developer but I would not be happy if I saw my rom being used for these services if I were the developer.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
Wow, you still don't get it. They don't sell any roms, they offer a service...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] diesburg:
Wow, I do get it. But I still feel like it shouldn't be done without a percentage going to developers.... at least cotulla.....(and I'm not even a huge fan of his work) it would not be possible for someone to sell such a service without the hard work of developers, at least the bootloader dev's. When someone charges to install windows... well, windows must be purchased first(at least for it to be legal) So microsoft gets their share for their work.... no dev is getting a share for his hard work when someone sells the installation service.... and I feel this is not right...... that is my opinion and I am entitled to it just like you are your opinion.......
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WorldWide60:
That's right, you're not a dev, so why are you tripping? Is Best Buys ripping off Microsoft because they charge someone to install windows? C'mon dude, you cannot be this dense.

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, but you're not entitled to instruct someone to remove an ad off of Craigslist, or to post some random dudes phone number on a message board.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
this is such an old topic!!! I've been seeing this since I got my first windows mobile phone(Tmobile dash) 3 years ago, shoot you can go to ebay and find tons of ads on buying roms and install services with tech support, and all it is someone online or a text file with step by step instructions on how to do it yourself flashing and modding.

Just because we know XDA and we know how things should be done in the mobile hacking world , it doesn't mean everybody does, or everybody cares, I agree the devs deserve a donation or a percentage of anybody making a profit but it's not going to happen, at least from those people!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] diesburg:
I did not post some random dudes number to a message board, I copied and pasted the craigslist ad that this thread is about. Yes, the ad contained his number but that is info you can find on the internet anyways. (craigslist.org)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
This topic and all the millions of variations of it over the years are absolutely ridiculous.

This is 100% exactly the same as somebody providing a linux installation/setup/configuration service and anybody who says otherwise simply doesn't have any common sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WorldWide60:
It's F'ing retarded to post his info with the intentions of getting him harassed. Where is the "no thank you" button when you need one?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Imaginary Enemy:
Goddamn WorldWide60, STFU! This topic may be old and we all have different opinions on the subject but no need to jump down this guys throat on every single one of his post!

I think it's rather shady that he's talking about installing "4g". What the hell is this loony talking about? That's the real issue here.

[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
On my Palm Pre it was possible to enable network-based or network-assisted location without using Google services and without agreeing to let Google collect information about you and your device in the background. On the Shift, this doesn't appear to be the case: apparently, you can have pure GPS satellite location only *or* you can enable network assistance, but to do the latter you have to use Google's services and agree to Google's terms.

So I was wondering whether this is something that developers of custom ROMS and mods are able to do anything about. Would it be possible to tinker with the framework, or whatever part of the firmware controls such things, to allow for more finely-grained control over location services for the end user? Ideally, you would be able to choose:

1) GPS satellites only

2) GPS/aGPS (assisted location or rough triangulation)

3) The above, plus Google's network/Wi-Fi based location services (and agree to whatever terms Google requires for the use of same)

Interestingly, the Galaxy Tab already seems to have the sort of control that I'm talking about.

If I'm misunderstanding something about the way our EVO Shift devices handle location services, please let me know...e.g., could it be the case that selecting only "use GPS satellites" already enables aGPS? If so, you couldn't prove it by me. None of my applications, including Google Maps, seem to be able to use rough network location when I have only "GPS satellites" enabled, although the device itself clearly knows what tower it's registered with at any given time.

Anyway, I just thought I would bring this up to see whether there is any developer interest in tweaking this stuff, and also whether there are other users who are also interested.

BTW, I am aware that this is a "Google phone." No need to point it out. I just want to be able to use the same kind of network-assisted location services that I was able to use on my other, non-Google phones on Sprint. :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] ahager88:
Not much of a help, most likely.

All i know gps wise is theres a couple of ## codes for the dialer in Sense roms. I think one is ##gpsresetx#

There are gps apps too, which GREATLY help lock and accuracy. Check the market.

Hope somebody knows more than me :P

Sent from my HTC Speedy (Gonzalez)
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
Well, although I started the topic in the hopes of starting discussion about how to use network location without being locked down by Google...now that you mention it, it would also be cool if Speedy ROM developers could find a way to fix the cycle of "acquire fix, lose fix, acquire fix, lose fix" that is all too common with these devices...
[General Topics] GamerJake0:
Which one do you guys suggest? Which phone is better long-term?

I just want a phone that's worth getting on a 2 year contract.

If you have any better suggestions for me, Please only suggest phones between Sprint and Tmobile.

Thanks.

I much prefer the samsung screens, so the galaxy gets my vote. Everyone I know with an EVO has terrible battery life, as well.

[General Topics] vbetts:
Either phone you're gonna have terrible battery life. Galaxy S devices, 4 inch super amoled screen, plus 4g.
[General Topics] heygrl:
The Galaxy S 4G is nice but app storage is low. The Evo is far worse long term.. it launched in June and it was already lagging behind the competition a month later. It's processing power is way below that of the Galaxy S 4G.
[General Topics] vbetts:
Core for core, Snapdragon is actually faster than Cortex A8. Now it's the rest of the chip that you need to look at, such as the powerVR chip inside hummingbird being faster than the Adreno chip inside Snapdragon. Really though, their performance cpu vs cpu you'll only really notice a difference in synthetic benchmarks like linpack. Dev community is amazing for the Evo.
[General Topics] heygrl:
Really? Benchmarks or real world performance? Because the Evo can't even handle TeamLava games without falling on it's face at the stock 1GHz clock.
[General Topics] realtobaqo:
Good news
[General Topics] GamerJake0:
Well the majority of you guys are going with the galaxy s 4g.

Are there anymore suggestions/opinions on what I should get?
[General Topics] Michael_robert:
Hi,

The major difference between these two smartphone is “Data network”, Evo use “4G/WiMAX network” (Sprint) and Samsung Galaxy S use “3G GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HDMA” (T-Mobile). The screen size of Evo 4G is greater than Samsung Galaxy’s screen. Evo has 8mp camera and Galaxy has 5mp. Due to these features, my vote goes to “HTC Evo 4G”.
[General Topics] ashjas:
i like samsung more
[General Topics] LordLugard:
Everyone and their grandmother knows that Samsungs 5MP camera is a billion years better than Evo's 8MP camera. You're one of those megapixel numbers persons...bigger number, better shooter.

Your lack of knowledge in that area alone disqualifies anything else you have to recommend.

Also WTH is "HDMA" ?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traiviet:
hi,

it seems like there are not many custom ROMs built for the P1000N version; and not many people here even mention about this model version. Can someone please tell me why? Are the Latin (L & N) versions any less inferior than the other models, like the European's and Asian's?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] km2783:
It was my understanding that the Latin Tabs were in the same general boat as the Euro/non-carrier GSM Tab.

Overcome doesn't mess with your modem and works really well on my Euro, FWIW.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Yeah you should be able to flash any EU rom afaik.

btw this is the dev forum for developers to post work etc, not asking questions unless its in reply to a thread, hence why we have a "Q&A" forum.

Re: Maek_this_happen (the guy in the video and starter of this discussion) ::rolleyes::cool:

Hey Alex3305 , Ear_O_Wax,

took a lick'n and kept own tick'n!!!!

Not so fast!

Our other dell streak took a 2 foot drop onto vinyl tile and it messed up the display they aren't indestructible try dropping it on the corner of the device and see what happens............
[Streak 5 General] yosemite_sam:
we know nothing is unbreakable but the guy in the video was just showing the stress the gorilla glass can take. now i saw this back in june last year and it helped make my decision to get my streak.

does it hold up? of course as ive tried it many times and ive not seen any scratches or marks or any signs of damage everything works as it should. i dont have any protection bar the cloth bag it came with its in perfect condition. ive used keys to try and scratch it running it back and forth frantic but its fine. stabbed it many times like in the video with no damage either. its just up to people to take care of these devices added protection is always a good thing.

i didnt want another device that i had to treat with kid gloves thats why i dumped the iphone. ive replaced more iphone screens than i care to think about so being given a nice bright screen that can take a knock is a god send. as said tho dropping it is a different matter not worrying about keys or coins scratching it is one less worry for me.

i wouldnt be suprised if some where white lines were being chopped up and made on streak lmao
[Streak 5 General] trexc832:
This is deff bull**** cause I just dropped my streak and the screan cracked
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
scratch resistance != shatter resistance

(i didnt watch the video, but by the comments i assume it's of him trying to scratch it?)
[Streak 5 General] yosemite_sam:
its definitely scratch proof and I never pierced the glass when stabbing it with a ball point pen. my lcd never cracked and i could see how well it withstood the impacts it was getting. its definitely NOT drop proof, I only added this point because someone asked me to prove it after i showed them the video lol

the only advice i can offer is if you are being mugged, slap the b*****d about the head with your streak, just dont throw it at them!
[Streak 5 General] Rico ANDROID:
I will do that, Yosimite ;)

I'm an experienced computer user in Windows and (X)Ubuntu, but some things I don't know I search online... but this problem I get only gets me somewhat upset by "Search Overload" (See some United States commercials).

## My computer setup ##

OS: dual-boot Windows XP; Xubuntu 10.04 LTS

Boot Loader: grub

In the partitions:

- Windows XP

- Xubuntu 10.04 LTS

- swap

- factory OEM partition

I need to reinstall Windows completely. I can either...

1. get that ISO of "The Windows 9x Project" burnt (I have an XP upgrade version),

2. borrow my friends OEM disk (I DO have a legit XP CD but it is only an Upgrade version :( ), or

3. try to get that special partition to install EXACTLY the way I want it to (most likely impossible)

Also, I've been trying to reinstall the grub bootloader (which originaly comes with my Xubuntu disk) manually, but it has been unsuccessful so far.

This will also be able to help me in case a Windows program rewrites the MBR (or I need to do this task again).

What I don't want to do unless it is the only possible way:

- Reinstall Xubuntu 10.04 LTS (plus install all of those updates and change Firefox... again!!!)

==================================================

Current Status:

==================================================

Will try to use the Windows 9x Project .iso and use my legit XP upgrade CD+key

- will take a lot of time to accomplish, IF successful

- I hope that Windows ME will work with my system -_-'
[Off-topic] PartTimeLegend:
"I'm an experienced computer user in Windows and (X)Ubuntu"

I lol'd a little.

I don't get what you're asking for. Advice on loading grub? Telling you that XP needs to die as an outdated OS? Ubuntu should be illegal under computer misuse legislation?

You state your current progress and methods to get where you're going, there is no "where now?"question to your post.

Have you considered virtualisation as an alternative to your lack of understanding dealing? This way you can still have the "I'm cool I run ubuntu", without having to try and understand it.

For the record, ubuntu is an abomination and should never have been made. Debian is good, don't mess with perfection.

[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
For the ones that receive emails with pictures and find out that the picture ends up in your gallery, there is no solution according to ATT. Any picture or email boarder that I received through email, it automatically sends a picture into my gallery. So anytime I received a pic through email, I had to go to my gallery and delete it. Another example is when I bought beautiful widgets and downloaded it, every scene, skin and picture was placed into my gallery. I had over 300 pictures in there from beautiful widgets alone.

Anyway, I called ATT and they acknowledged that they heard of this but HTC has no complaints about it. In turn they are sending me a new phone. Mine was only 1 week old. They even call HTC for me to see if there was a patch or something, but then again, HTC never heard of this issue.
