teeter tottering.
any peopple coming from android in here? !
well, could you push me one way or the other please?
so basically, convince me to buy a hd7 and support winpho7.
I had an iPhone 4, then traded it in for the Captivate and then I sold the captivate for the focus and I am really pleased with the focus so far. My email syncs great, the GPS (which was a pain to have for the captivate) is spot on and accurate to 20ft on my phone. Xbox live is a plus and they have great games so far in the Marketplace some before android. The battery life is better than the captivate and I played Rocket Riot on my phone for 2 hours and only 15% battery used.
I really enjoy the stability of this phone and you should try it. You wont be disappointed.
thanks!
my pet peeves are no multitasking and wifi hotspot though.
i hate the lack of hackability, i do all kinds of my stuff to my phones .

Thank's closed thread.
i cant get an answer in the 3d forums so i will try here. wiimote does not work with the new 3d due to the new sense and or bluetooth. my question is can i use any bluetooth controller with my 3d as long it is bluetooth 3.0 or am i going to have to wait until it is rooted and only use wiimote? i am not fond of the wii controller so i am hoping i can use something else for my emulators and games.
Well considering this isn't an Evo 3d forum, we can't help you.

well considering you are a jackass, go screw yourself. 3d forum or not, someone with tech knowledge can answer and help. you obviously cant, so stfu and get off my thread.
you are a prime example of what has become a problem on xda in general, spitting out helpless and jackass comments on people's posts instead of trying to assist anyone. people like you bring a bad name to xda, luckily the good helpful people out number the negative people on here like yourself so far.

From the evo, it would only work on a rooted phone that was running an aosp rom. Wiimote controller is the app...idk if it will work for other though.

Wow! Answers like this piss me the HELL off! Wish there were dislikes. LOL
Well, what makes the wii controller not work with sense? What do they need to change in order to make it work for the Evo phones altogether? What isn't working? I have tried to get it to work too. but I just didn't spend enough time researching it.
Piss off you retards. I was simply telling him there isn't much we can help him with here, as this isn't a forum for that phone. That would be like me asking a question about my Mustang in a Camero forum. It doesn't make any sense.
And he continues to prove the point. Bravo

The Evo3D and Evo are about the same phones and run off about the same software. I have confirmed that you need a AOSP ROM to make it work... But still attempting to find out more and why's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrR68FR7Xu8
HOWEVER, the biggest thing is you don't want to start installing different roms onto your phone. then again, you can't anyway as we haven't figured out how to root your phone. lol.
But I bet you'd end up not getting the 3D part as most developers wouldn't have a clue on how to program that as of this time. 3D software is still new at the second.
I personally would give up on trying to make it work. That's what I did. I personally can flash my phone. but why on earth would I install a AOSP ROM? I like what I have.
Oh I'm not worried about 3d stuff. I just want a contoller to work wirh my emulators like n64oid, snesoid, gensoid etc...
Apple sucks ballz
then why on earth did you buy an evo 3d? and I thought we couldn't root those yet? can only do it on a rooted phone.
Well that answers my question then. I thought there might be a controller that would work without root is all. Thank you for your help guys

Anyone know of any good online multiplayer games that I can play with friends? Not looking for MMOs or anything super fast paced like that. I of course love WordFeud (words with friends too, but prefer wordfeud). Just downloaded ShipCombat which was recommended in another similar thread to this one, gonna give that a try later. Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions? Mainly looking for games that I can start a game with a friend, make my move, exit, and later on be notified that they made a move and go in and make another move. Stuff like that.
Thanks

i was thinking uno would be cool but i read that they recently messed it up with a recent update, putting tons of ads everywhere and basically making the game less good so i was reluctant to buy it without a demo to try.

Remember how in High School or College you would have to DO YOUR RESEARCH to find your information before turning it in to your teacher or professor?...So far in the past 12 months this XDA School Research Skill and Overall GPA has dropped. In this SGSII class of the school, we are bringing our GPA up, and now we are on a level thats "considered passing". I was a new student in this class about 2 weeks ago and everyone made me feel like I was at home, but the rest of the school im not to sure about. XDA school was the one everyone went to about everything Android. Now since the teachers and students are slowly turning in degrees, we are loosing a lot of our students and teachers to other schools. We cannot let this happen because this is where it all started. We have to start gaining the quality of our school back, our prestige is dropping.
So lets get started...
Instead of teachers having to spend extra time assisting students, students should learn to RESEARCH and Experiment on their own time. Teachers only volunteer at this school. No paychecks, pensions, workman's compensation, just breaks and retiremen. Teachers should help students more and explain things more in a detailed fashion. XDA School is changing so we have to change with it. Dont fight it, go with the flow and make it work for everyone. There has to be a line to draw in the middle, where students can help one another, troubleshoot, and have fun with the teachers. Im a teacher myself and comming up with lesson plans that will hold everyone in the class over until I write a new one is not easy. Sleep is lost, donations are good, but overall not good enough to deal with the stress in our personal lives because we all go through it. Competition is always present but thats no excuse for teachers to critique other teachers. We may not be together in reality but we are a community, so lets act like it.
:-D

good luck. Popularity of this site attracts the people in school who just want to get by and have all the answers given to them. I can't see this thread going in the right direction. These threads just make things worse to be honest

I just thought it more people were aware of the issues we would be able to fix them together. Ill just have the principle close the class down if students and or teachers start to bring it down.

I miss people being go getters and trying to learn stuff themselves. I think everyone is willing to help a noob but only if they are willing to help themselves. That's what we have a lack of, people trying to help themselves.

The worse part about it is, the quality of the issues people report in threads. Most of the time they are "non issue issues" Meaning its not a bug in the ROM just a problem that they are having.
They will post their problem and hope for someone to get a fix for them and get upset when people flame them. The people who can fix the problem have no right to flame either. Fighting fire with fire has become way to common here. The people dont say things like "I looked online in such and such place but i dont understand what its telling me, or this method is outdated any updates on it", nothing like that, that shows they were putting fourth an effort in the first place. It was such a joy for me to research and learn because it led me to create ROMs and themes. I felt a lot better when I figured out how to fix my own problems and it made me a better Rooted android user.
I think te problem is "free stuff" attracts those type of people. Google has done a great thing with the open source stuff. I wish there was a system in place that encouraged organized companies to produce ROMs, granite that means those roms would be pay only and the current system doesn't work with it. You can choose to stick with the stock touchwiz rom OR you could pay to run aosp made by company X or you could download a free rom made by thursday. How much has this community donated to various devs in "hopes" they dev something good?
Android has blown up recently and people like to customize their phone. Old days of only tech geeks using roms are gone. People need answers fed to them. If they paid money for a rom they should be entitled to those answers given to them.
Agreed..

Yea brother, i mean ill say yea again to that one. If people actually paid for me to deliver week in and week out id quit my day job seriously to work right here from home.
if you want money just have sammy start a thread for you
I was here from the start with the G1, granted out was a few months after the release, buy nonetheless I did my own research asked questions when I was TRULY stuck and solved my own problems by searching the threads/forums. People come in here (XDA) and "flame" one another for asking a question and folks that come in here creating threads and posts REPEATEDLY about the same topic. It honestly needs to be stopped and monitored more closely because all it does is clutter threads and makes it difficult for those trying to do it on their own.

I haven't been here as long as most but since I joined when I purchased my evo it went from thank you to gimme gimme. Not to mention the flame fests,including entire threads filled with pics about the ensuing flame fest. Infractions should start being issued a lot more frequently and even to the point of issuing them to the members who post nothing questions over and over again and get in a tiff when they don't get an answer for "why is my phone crashing after I didn't wipe from cm7 to sense"anyways just wish it would go back to respect and appreciation.

as ridiculous as it seems, Maybe their should be an entire thread dedicated to a Roms "Issues" - I know creating another thread means another one to view, but jesus think about how many times a market error question could be answered by the title of a thread there and the amount of pages it would save on any given rom. I know this is literally bending to the will of noobs who won't research, but if you can't teach them, at least try to confine them

I see what your saying but that defeats the purpose, if i create a market error thread, then theyll ask for just about everything, the flood gates would open right up. If people would stop being lazy then everything would be ok.

Its an inside joke (a good one too) based on the amount of bounty threads he does and how quick he is to start them.
Reading this thread bummed me out. I'm somewhat new to all of this, and in the last couple of months have learned an INSANE amount about the android OS and how to make it "mine". I would have never been able to do so without the much appreciated help of all the knowledgeable people here on XDA. Yes, I agree, there are a crazy amount of duplicate posts, and pricks, and mindless idiots who for some reason have no issue posting a bash on a hard working dev for no apparent reason (f#& k those morons). Here is my question. What do you think of someone like me, who asks questions when he is stuck, and probably will continue to do so whenever he is hopelessly stuck, but always shows appreciation for valuable help received? There seem to be plenty of people here who enjoy helping noobs like me. I've helped a few, and it felt pretty good.

I know this is a question no one can answer at this point, but what do you guys think? Will there be at least as much development for this device as compared to the nexus tablets?
I've never owned an android tablet before, and was waiting for this opportunity, but if there will be very little development, i don't see the point of getting the pixel c.
Any thoughts?
Where do I start?
1. A question does not belong in general
2. Asking this sort of question is disrespectful
If you want development then pay someone to develop for you. Or take a crack at it yourself.
For all we know some badass dev is working on a badass rom for us in the background.

Your questions is about the equivalent of asking a a dev when there will be an ETA for an update to his/her rom. Its almost like an unspoken rule, that Googles devices will be getting custom roms, and some of the BEST ones at that. I am sure the pixel line up will be just like the nexus when it comes to having a great development community.
@Jhonys I think people are being a little harsh to you, man. It's a legitimate question that I have been wondering myself. There has been a lot of negativity towards the Pixel C. There are a lot of people on here complaining about issues with the Wifi and touchscreen. Also, it hasn't been getting great reviews. I don't know how I feel about the reviews because, save for PC Mag, all of the reviews just poopoo the fact that it isn't great for productivity. I understand that it is more focused on productivity than general tablet use, but that doesn't mean it isn't an absolutely fantastic tablet. I just use mine to read and play games while I poop, as well as the occasional in-flight entertainment. I think it is by far the best Android tablet for my usage scenario and I really want there to be a large community for it. Regarding ROM development, I know that @BeansTown106, who makes the absolutely fantastic Pure Nexus ROM's, has said in these forums that he plans on getting a Pixel C and developing for it. I am really looking forward to his ROM. I also hope TWRP releases a recovery soon and we can get a basic root going.

Thanks for your answer. I too think it's a legitimate question and was quite surprised with the attitude, but that doesn't really matter atm.
The thing is I really don't want to get a tablet which will die slowly because of lack of development. I already did that mistake twice with my smartphones (most recently the HTC m9 which has 2 great AOSP roms but that's about it). Just got the nexus 6p for that reason exactly and want the same with a tablet.
Regarding the usage, I'm also not looking for a productivity tablet. More to read pdf books (student), and watching movies while flying (which I do quite a bit). How do you find its performance? Does it lag or stutters when you try to watch full HD movies or browsing the web etc? All the reviews I've seen so far focus more on the productivity aspect of it.
Thanks again :good:

Performance wise, it has been a dream for me. I have streamed some high bitrate 1080p x264 movies over my wireless network using Kodi 15.2 and it was smooth as silk. Web pages scroll just as smoothly or smoother than on my Nexus 6P or when I had my Nexus 9. I have some issues with the design of the tablet, namely the placement of the speakers and front facing camera, but otherwise, it is by far the best tablet I have ever owned.
I'm assuming it won't be long before there is a full linux distro running on this - as well as a way to run chrome. Hard to be sure if or when though - its not something to _expect_ when making a purchase now...

This post single handedly pushed me into hitting the "submit order" button on the Pixel C. Had it in my cart for two weeks... was just waiting for a sign. Thanks man, if it does half of what it did for my Nexus 6 I am a happy person.
