hey guys.. i'd like to contact motorola and tell them ...
-> what a great phone they built (DEVY) but I also want to ask them
-> what they hell did they tried to do when building MotoBlur? and why they don't create anything more appropriate for such a great phone?
so it came into my mind.. just to get a number of people.. (just the number - no nick- no realnames) which agree to my opinion.. to tell them, that I'm not alone... :=)
a plan?
best regards,
-
I Like the idea behind motoblur, but i think it could have been implemented better. Also, i have a suspicion that Motoblur is the reason that we wont be getting android 2.2 unti Q2 next year, and thats a terrible thing :O. If they could speed up the android updates then i would love it :L
Well, after spending 3 years with iOS and 5+ months using SenseUI Motoblur came as a real shock. How a company can spend so little on software development/support in this day & age is beyond me?
It's like they got halfway through, realised it was rubbish/pointless and stopped. Mixing stock menus/calander app etc with the ropey launcher/lock screen/'my first widget' design is very confusing.
Still, at least the multi touch keyboard is good and errr.. DLNA and wifi hotspotting I guess.

I know what you mean lol. The thing with the wifi hotspot app though is that it makes you doubt if you can use it. I turned it on and it said to make sure my network allows it??? , This part of motoblur caused a bit of a panic haha. The swype keyboard is brilliant but it took me a while to understand how it works haha
Blur is generally crap especially the launcher, however some of the apps - the email app for instance for me is very good, its the best email app I've used.

but i have to confirm.. and also explain i also do like some apps the music app, the gallery, the keyboard (like sarge78 told us above) works perfectly -- the text when a new word is added to the user dictionary stays a little bit toooooooooo long , but typing is perfect...) so some applications are really great.
but the whole theme^^ really strange..
(i also like the general design, black and the red background when something is pressed.. but one thing the sms button on a contact, is big enough but I think it's optimized for chinese people, or at least the smallest fingers in the world out there )
Gosh, Captain America! Is this poll loaded or what!?
I feel divided for Blur.
The launcher is not bad, but there's better elsewhere... lot better.
I don't use all the social stuff (don't have facebook or twitter account, etc) so I can't really say if it's good or worst than a stock android.
But I like some apps loaded with Blur: DLNA, Voicecall, music player, etc
What I really dislike: all the blur services automaticly loaded even I don't want to use all this stuff...
I want the choice to load what I need

This! I like my new Defy. but I hate that i starts lots of stuff that I don't want/use. I don't care about the stuff that come preloaded but don't start because the phone got loads of space for my apps
I definitely have mixed feelings about Blur. Some of it I really love, but it bogs so much and in the end I would rather not have it if everything is going to run so slow and our updates are going to take so long. All in all the defy is a great device, but if Moto doesn't step it up this time with updates I am done after this.
Voted dislike. The very first app I downloaded was LauncherProPlus. Bye Bye blur!

Quoted for great justice.
I just don't use Blur, which would be fine and wouldn't bother me either way, if only it didn't insist on loading all it's processes anyway.
Uhh just checked the number of processes motobloat is running...
52!
My stock desire is running 28... No wonder it lags so badly at times.
+1 for installing a different launcher (LauncherPro for me, thanks!) as the first thing after getting the phone
Dear MotoBloat: Please go to hell.
If I ever meet the guy who approved Motoblur I'll tear out his kneecaps with a rusty... no wait... I'll force him to use a stock Motorola phone for 24 hours! MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

personal preference i suppose, the stock android email app doesn't let you move mails between imap folders the blur one does, thats something i need.

Have you tried adding your email(s) to Gmail? I have done that for all my other email address', and it works great. I only have to check one inbox to get all my emails from four different screen names. I use @Gmail, @AOL, @Hotmail, and @MSN.com. If you have to reply, or forward from one of your other address's you can choose to send from Gmail, or the one that it was sent to. You can also tag them, so you know what email is what in your inbox. Very handy.

yeah done that in the past. i only really use 1 email account with various aliases (blueyonder.co.uk). Via gmail i could view my mails but wouldn't be able to file them/transfer between my imap folders. i suppose i could just create imap folders in gmail but cant be arsed lol. Cheers for posting the tip.
oh and i dont need push email really, a check once every 30 mins is good for me
Great hardware but after several months with 2.2 on my magic, 2.1 with motoblurp on the defy is a big disappointment give me stock android 2.2 any day.
Is there any way to install the stock android calendar rather then the samsung calendar? The samsung calendar does not handle overnight events that span multiple days well, which I have many. Thanks for the help.

If it's anything like the vibrant, dropping the stock calendar might not work. The main framework caused glitches in the actual stock calendar app itself. There are many 3rd party apps that might work for you.
I have the same/similar issue. Overnight events (my gf's night shifts) show up as "all day" events and not as blocks like in the regular Google Calendar.
I've downloaded and tried Jorte, but it had the same problem (and no matter what setting I use, my eyes strain to read it).
I've done a few google searches, and on this thread, but couldn't find any resolution, besides rooting.
Any suggestions?
I was able to drop in the AOSP calendar from the CM7 repo into /system/app and remove TWCalendar.apk. There was a display glitch, a number 0 obscured the top left corner but it did not effect functionality.
FWIW, I was also using the AOSP email app.
Thanks for the response,
Maybe I'd be considered slow to most other people, but I'm only a month into my first smart phone and still not quite ready to play "Operation" with its innards...
I did, however, download the Business Calendar (Free), my third calendar app attempt, and whaddya know, it shows my calendar the way it should, including overnight activities(!).
I don't know what it does that the stock app can't, and I certainly don't like its look and that I can't change it (prefer the stock look, actually), but it works for now, until I figure something else out...
Hello,
I flashed the rom last night. It is amazing! But there is some problems for me...
1. Problem:
I am now trying to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts... But there is no facebook contacts syncing... No facebook id in the people's contact menus...
I used htc sense roms before and i could've sync the facebook contacts.
And there is no contact sync menu in facebook App's submenus?
So do you know what the problem that i have?
2. Problem:
I can easily use the "phone pad keyboard types with t9" but i can't find a second keyboard type other than the miui keyboard in the miui's settings menu...?
Is there a way to change the miui's orijinal keyboard type to phone pad type ?

For facebook you will need to download the facebook app or any other app that syncs your contacts. A reboot may be needed. If you want to sync your facebook contacts with whatsapp along with your phone contacts, let me know I'll upload an app for that.
Or you could manually input your facebook contacts
I didn't understand your second question/problem.
Edit: heck, the app I mentioned.... you can find it if you scroll down a bit.

First of all,
Thank-you for your fast response...
1. & 2. Photos,
As you can see from the screen shots,
I have all ready install Facebook App. And it's showned at Acounts menu. But in the contacts menu, there is only Google and Exchange Acount showing..
So, the people in my contact list have not sync with my Facebook or Twitter Acount.
3. & 4. Photos
I installed an. Htc keyboard App. From the forum as you can see, i have just wanted to change orginal miui keyboard to phone pad type..
I think miui must have 2. Optional keyboard as standard..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
That looks like miui ics. I haven't flashed that in a while. If I remember correctly there might have been problems with the contacts. Read the thread, yes, the 100+ pages or you can use the search function.
Before doing that you can try clicking on the sync off and then on to see if it resyncs and reboot if it doesn't show. If you already tried this then you can skip it.
With the keyboard, sorry I still don't know what you want to do. Coffee still hasn't kicked in.
Click on qwerty keyboard to see if that is what you want. But then again that should have been the default so you ahould have seen it.
If it is that you only want a dial pad, only numbers to show, that will show up in a few places, how to select that only, no idea.
Sorry if this is confusing, I just got up and coffee hasn't done its magic yet.
Edit: I think I see what you mean.
You want to use two different keyboards at the same time?
Or is it that you want to use only the t9/dial pad all the time?
The most I know is that you can change the theme for the keyboard, however, Im not sure if that is working in ics yet.
Sent from a dream.
hmm,
i've just came at home and saw your reply...
i just want to use the dial pad keyboard style for all time... and i have used it with my old htc sense rom for along time...i installed an htc keyboard .apk from the forum as you see.. but miui doesnot have the dial pad keyboard style, it has only qwerty keyboard... am i correct?
i really liked miui, but the keyboard and the contacts sync issue is really important for me...
For facebook problem use (facebook sync application) is the best for now
and for the keyboard i don't get your problem but you maybe would to try perfect keyboard application

Try HaxSync it works a lot better than the facebook app with syncing facebook contacts to your phone plus it also downloads a better photo from facebook than the fb app does.

Tried it, contacts started force closing, had to refalsh!! (
I'm making the switch to the GS3 from several years of iPhones. Its been a while since ive had an android phone and it looks like a lot has changed. I had a few questions I was hoping the brilliant minds at xda would be able to help me out with. After being on the iPhone for a while theres a few features I have become attached to that I cant seem to figure out on the GS3.
Firstly I have gotten attached to the security features on the iphone. Setting a pin code but having a proper delay on its activation. So if pick up the phone and use it gain within 5 minutes the lockscreen still works but it doesn't prompt for the passcode. however, after that 5 minutes it will start prompting for it again. Maybe its just me but I have not found an effective way to get this working on the GS3. I have tried the delay settings but not matter what is set it seems as if the power button makes it prompt for the code again. Does anyone have a good solution to this? another small thing that annoys me about the pin unlock is having to hit the ok key after entering the pin.
Secondly I have become accustomed to the email client on the iPhone. While I do like the priority inbox and other features that the gmail app has on android I really miss the unified inbox. I have about 6 email accounts that I keep synced with my phone. Some gmail and some not. Can anyone recommend a really good email client that has unified inbox. of if there is any way to achieve this using the gmail app. I would prefer to use the gmail app because some of those gmail accounts sync with other parts of the phone such as contacts and calendars it seems kind of unnecessary to have accounts set up in settings to sync everything else and a separate app to just sync all of my same accounts for email.
Thanks for anyone who responds. I am also open to any custom rom options that people have to suggest that will help me solve my problems. I have been playing around with CM10 and I like it but theres still a few kinks to work out. I hope I am posting this in the right area.

First, welcome to android For the lockscreen thing, you have it set up to delay the lock screen 5 minutes after the screen times it, go under your lock screen settings and make sure that where it says "lock instantly with power key" is unchecked. For the email client, I haven't used them as I have made the switch over to having all of my emails as gmail. Have you tried the one pre loaded with the phone? If not then I'm sure a simple search on the market will provide what you need. Just keep in mind that the best part of android is the customizability and the freedom to change everything if you are willing to put in the time!

In regards to an email client, try checking out K9 Mail in the Play Store. I believe a unified inbox is one of its features.

Thanks for the reply. Happy to be owning an S3 now. That seems to solve my problem with the lockscreen. Thanks for the tip. I don't know how i messed that. lol As for the email most of my accounts are gmail, but 2 are not. The issue is just switching between 5 different inboxes every time i want to check my mail. I hope google adds unified inbox to gmail soon.
Does anyone recommend any good roms to try out? I would like to run something based on JB, but it still needs to be reliable for the most part it is a daily driver. I would like to add google wallet and check out google now. I do like a few of the features of the stock rom and am curious if anyone is just running a debloated stock rom and installing wallet and google now on that inorder to keep sbeam and a few other features that samsung baked in. If so hows the performance on that?
Welcome to Android, fellow previous iPhone user!
For the multiple emails: if you want to use the gmail client, you just need to add those other accounts to your Gmail. I used to do this with my school's Exchange email and my Gmail.
Basically, Gmail can attach POP3 and I think IMAP, too, accounts. This way you can send and receive from those accounts. It might be called forwarding. Look out up in the gmail settings.
But, if you don't care for archive or priority inbox (gmail specific features), then the default email client can combine inboxes (mine says combined inbox even though I only have one account)...
If you're looking for a stable JB ROM, check out Task650 and Ktoonsez AOKP 4.1.2 or CM10.

Yea i noticed that the email client that samsung baked in handles combined email well, but i don't think theres a way to use that client if I decide to switch to a custom rom. I'll definiteley check out k9 though.

I just put CM10 on my phone and I was going to spend a few days playing with that, but whats the word on any samsung features being ported to that? I know there arent many that are any good, but I do like sbeam's ability to send larger files (which i think is just wifi direct, correct me if im wrong), gimicky things like the swipe to screenshot, the calendar widget, that picture in picture feature(which i probably will only use twice), and some of those motion options.
You should try and read up over in the development sections. Those gimmicky features built into the S3 stock are from Samsung TouchWiz. CM10 is based on AOSP which is entirely different. So those Samsung features aren't going to be available on CM10, period.
I believe if you spend some time with the new ROM, you'll find yourself without a need for those TouchWiz gimmicks.

Ok I'll definitely spend some time with CM10 and see how I like it. I read this morning that Stable releases have started showing up for CM10 for some devices. So hopefully it will be a good daily driver.
Thanks to everyone who responded and gave me suggestions.
Great questions.. I also switched from iPhone after owning every version up to the 4S... I miss it less and less every day. I currently use cm10 nightly build ROM and update every couple nightlies I also use apex launcher because I like the notifications on the icons and ability to rename icons and change their pic.
I missed the simplicity of ios when I got my gs3 2 months ago but after getting familiar and finding solutions for my individual needs I don't miss ios anymore.
I do find being left handed the gs3 too be a little too wide of a form factor and I accidentally hit the volume rocker often. I have contemplated getting a thinner android device but will hate it prob after being use to the screen size... I have been changing things daily and spending a lot of time trying things.. I enjoy it. Feel free to inbox me if you need insight. I use my gs3 for small business and personal needs.. lots of YouTube. Texting...Facebook.. and my scheduling invoicing company has a mobile cloud site I use daily to run business.

i too made the switch from an iphone 4
dont really miss it all that much since the benefits of swapping out the battery, roms, etc outweigh the simplicity of the iphone
it would be nice if theres a way to scroll to the top of a website like IOS did for many of its apps

I am so far enjoying the CM10 Release although honestly I miss a couple features in the touchwiz rom. I'm kind of torn. I definitely want to try out the JB OTA update and see if its enough for me to settle. The features I'm torn over are:
CM10 Pros:
Always up to date regardless of carrier holdups(bugs are fixed quickly)
a lot of additional options that allow me to fine tune the experience far beyond what is allowed in touchwiz
overall the phone is MUCH smoother without occastional hangups and whatnot(but im not sure how much of that is just the improvements of JB)
Google Now
improved notifications
pure google experience without all the touchwiz stuff slowing things down
love the sms app vs the samsung app(much cleaner and faster in my opinion and I don't like the market alternatives for sms they feel just as slow and cumbersome to me. The only one that comes close to being acceptable is gosms)
the sms popup is really nice even though it doesn't always work perfect
prefer the lockscreen style to that of the ripple effect on touchwiz
Touchwiz Pros:
Sbeam(only because my brother and a few close friends all picked up an S3 and I have been using this feature a lot with them)
Samsung Calendar widget(for some reason really like this specific widget)
I like the camera interface a little better in the touchwiz
The best shot feature in the camera is nice
strangely enough I have come to like the voice control with the alarm clock and phone calls
Smart Alert is nice but ive noticed its randomly going off while im in a phone call which is kind of annoying
I enjoy using the swipe to screenshot
I like the notification icons that are on the lockscreen for quick access to missed notifications
May just be a bug but I don't seem to get LTE service properly on the CM10 rom
Again I'm torn between the two but I've realized the only things that I'm clinging to in touchwiz are pretty much small interface things or gimmicky features that could possibly be solved with other apps from the market. I would like to try the JB touchwiz rom when it releases and see if it is enough to appease me but I don't want to give up my root and risk not getting that back if I don't like it and want back to CM10. What do you guys think?
Hey guys, especially devs,
Is anyone able to do a flashable zip for Custom App Notifications like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc.?
So that it pops up on lock screen like a sms notification?
I want to use it on all roms, so please dont write "USE VIPER".
Thank you

Is anyone able to do a flashable zip for Custom App Notifications like Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger etc.?
So that it pops up on lock screen like a sms notification?
I want to use it on all roms, so please dont write "USE VIPER".
Thank you

I join this movement. +1 Somebody should be able to look into it, this really has been my main point of dissapointment from the HTC one.
I'd like this too. Stinks we're limited to email, phone, sms and calendar.
Yep I also would love the tweak. really. It makes those apps more integrated into system.
Would be kind if these devs who already did it, will share it for the community.
Please post it in the threads!!
If I'm not mistaken.. viper have this feature.. and if I noticed right only they have it back in HOX day..

I don't like pop-ups that much so I use NotifierPro Plus from Google Play. That works with basically any app and is similar (but better IMO) to iOS' current banner notification system.

even i liked it when i was using the viper rom. Currently i am use trickdroid and i would love to have that feature in this... I have requested for that feature in the trickdroid thread. You guys too come and request. hope he gets convinced by the demand and adds in his next release...
