We are doing the best we can to deliver Froyo/2.2 for Fascinate owners.
about 3 hours ago via web
I'm a little frustrated but I am also still willing to give them a chance. It is surprising that the Froyo/Bing/CDMA/Google or whatever is causing the delay is still an issue, and I do think there is an issue..either a coding problem, conflict with Bing, the CDMA radio or even a small skirmish between Verizon and Google.
Unlike some others here I have a Fascinate that is working great so my reason for wanting Froyo tends to be somewhat different.
I am the network admin at the corporate office I work at. I am also the Alpha Geek for my friends, family, etc... I have learned through hard experience what not having timely updates can do. Android now has 1/3 of the smartphone market, it will become a target for exploits and remember everyone - Linux isn't exploit-proof it is just harder to exploit and it hasn't really been on the bad guy's radar. The people who compete at Pwn2Own and the other contests will tell you nothing is unexploitable. As our financial worlds become more intertwined with our phones the criminals' desire to access smartphones will become overwhelming.
The entire cell phone industry needs to understand and get into the mindset that smartphones need to be updated regularly, just like desktops and laptops or in the near future using a unpatched cellphone will be like going online with a Win98 computer - when you go offline you probably won't be the one in control of your device.

And may I ask what is wrong with Bing? Answer that one  GPS 10? You can still use Google on phone
I for one could care less about Bing being on the phone. I just don't use it. I think the point being made here is that Google may be pi**ed off about it, after all all, Android phones are supposed to be Google phones. Maybe that is what is holding up the update(?) Hard to believe that is the reason, at least I hope it's not the reason. I hope the reason is they are trying to release a stable update, not a bug ridden one.
Ironically then one could say the IE problem on computers back in the day when people complained about it can be applied to Android devices.  Android is supposed to be open source and that's one of the problems with being open source.  Fragmentation at an accelerated level.
Not all Android phones are supposed to be Google phones.  IF Google wanted them to be all Google phones they could have licensed them different, but allow the source code.  They chose to go "Apache Software License" which is part open and part closed.  Welcome to Marketing which is slowly backfiring.  Give it a few and then everyone will slowly migrate to Meego(a lot of developers already switched that used to work on Android).
That's what they are probably doing.  The one major bug people are having and affects ALL samsung CDMA devices is that it looks for GSM signal and that eats battery.  It still plagues the Epic 4G, and Verizon may be delaying to increase battery life and to get rid of it.  Who's to say...  Rather have them do it right the first time around...

  • For what it's worth

    Literally. A few days ago, while sitting at my iMac, the familiar start of Buffalo Sprinfields- 'for what it's worth' began thumping from my speakers. Pretty soon I noticed there was no Steven Stills. It was the music and the background. Not a problem, reload at some point in the future. I have a copy synced to my iPad. It played fine. Today while listening to a radio station via iTunes the same song came on. No lead singer. Odd. I found and inserted my old CD and imported the song to iTunes. No lead vocals. Played the CD in iTunes. No lead vocals. I took the CD out to my car and played the CD. Works fine. Everythings there. I've checked some of my other old music and this song seems to be the only affecte song. Anybody else have this problem?

    I had something similar happen to me once when I was using my computer routed through my stereo.  I had a faulty component in the wiring setup and it was just sending a single channel through both speakers.  For most music you barely notice it because the stereo channel split isn't all that great.  For this one track, however, all the vocals went through the channel that wasn't being played.  I had never heard this track before so it wasn't until somebody else heard me playing it the 5th time  and asked what had happened to the vocals I even knew there were some!

  • Im debating whether i should get the 8GB or 32 GB itouch. There's a 100 dollar price difference, and I wanna know if its worth it for me. Im 13 years old and I dont think ill need as much space as a 25 but i want it to last. HELP!

    Hello!
    I have a 8GB Ipod touch. I the other ine is worth the difference, because the simple ios 5.0 takes like 3 GB!!!
    Another reason is that new  some apps take 500 MB. I'm going to ask for the 32GB model for Christmas, and I am very disappointed with the amount of files you can have in the 8GB Ipod.
    Hope it helps you!

    To add to what others have said, the three prong plug allows the charger to be grounded, the two prong plug that can plug into the three prong cord assembly does not. There are situations (such as this) in which Apple advises grounding the power adapter to solve problems.

  • Perfect? No. But hey, thanks for what does wo

    I think I've been pretty even minded regarding Creative's progress with their Vista support for my Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro. Yeah, lots of stuff doesn't work and some things that worked with prior beta driver versions or even using XP drivers no longer do. Weird needing the earlier non-functional MediaSource software installed for the new one to encode mp3's (unless buying the new codec, which I did to avoid needing to install that old stuff). Limited Soundfont support and only in MediaSource Player. No more AdvancedEQ. No more Dolby Decoding (well, PowerDVD 7 does it). However, I have never had audio not working in Vista. And I have never had less than exceptional sound quality. Now, if I just turn up the bass and treble in Vista's AudioControl it still sounds great even without Advanced EQ. (I would like that back though. No real fine tuning the hardware, just software player eq's this way.)?I've read of lots of problems folks have had, but my headphone jack on the breakout box works. The AudioConsole successfully switches the audio between my headphone being plugged in or my 2. speakers, etc. The CMSS does give me proper seperation with my headphones, speakers. So the basic stuff with slight extra (jack detect, CMSS) work. No audio glitches. And the new driver does fix any problems with accessing the Vista AudioControl, whereas with older beta's the control would only open once and wouldn't remember settings. It now works fine. I only adjust the configuration in Creative AudioConsole though. The documentation said not to use the Vista Speaker setup so I've never opened that. I really have no complaints except to please give us back our advanced features that really make the card's purchase worth it. And do something about MediaSource not knowing we already paid for mp3 encoding when we spent $300 for our retail card. It shouldn't need to have the unoperable cd software installed to know this. So, thanks for not leaving us barren of quality sound like your M-Audio competitors have. Their policy is we have nothing for you and please don't ask us about it. But feel free to keep buying our cards!?Creative could have kept its development entirely in house and not released anything until, or after Vista is in retail outlets and installed on OEM computers in stores. They did not. They could have deleated any forum post references to Vista and simply announced that support for some cards may come when Vista is released or some time thereafter. They did not. They have shared the information regarding the new Vista API's and have related what they will be doing to get things adjusted so they work for most features most people still want from soundcards. Pretty good communication, in my view. As well as pretty darned good support during the beta Vista period. I just hope more is coming than what is provided now. I can switch to my onboard and get similar at the moment. But, thanks for what does work!

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • HT204088 I accidentally purchased 500,000 coins for Slots app worth $99.99.

    Hi,
    Last June 4, I accidentally purchased 500,000 coins for Slots app worth $99.99.  I'm a senior citizen and a first time apple iphone user. I've only had the phone for less than a month as it was given to me by my nephew who was upgrading to an iphone 4S. I didn't even realize what I had done until I received a receipt for my alleged purchase in my mail today. I'm unemployed/retired already and this amount of money does not come by easily for me. I wish to return it and request for refund. The coins are still intact.
    Details are as follows :
    Order Number MHH4YJ82SS
    Receipt Number 114034855255
    I've been trying to "Report a Problem" through the Purchase History in my Itunes acount but everytime I click that button, no form appears for which I could write my request. I've been going around in circles. I don't know why apple customer support makes it so difficult to actually give support.
    Please assist. Hoping for your favorable reply at the soonest possible time.
    Thanks.

  • For what is used the Serializable?

    Hi! I'm wondering for what can I use the Serializable interface. Since it do not have methods or fields. Can you tell me for what it is used and provide a little example of it?
    Thanks a lot!
    Raul

    Please tell me if the interface Serializable is having
    no methods and variables. Then whats the use of this
    kind of interfaces...
    Marker Interface Pattern
    The marker interface pattern is a design pattern in computer science.
    This pattern allows a class to implement a marker interface, which exposes some underlying semantic property of the class that cannot be determined solely by the class' methods. Whereas a typical interface specifies functionality (in the form of method declarations) that an implementing class must support, a marker interface need not do so. The mere presence of such an interface indicates specific behavior on the part of the implementing class. Hybrid interfaces, which both act as markers and specify required methods, are possible but may prove confusing if improperly used.
    One good example of a marker interface comes from the Java programming language. The Cloneable interface should be implemented by a class if it fully supports the Object.clone() method. Every class in Java has the Object class at the root of its inheritance hierarchy and so every object instantiated from any class has an associated clone() method. However, developers should only call clone() on objects of classes which implement the Clonable interface, as it indicates that the cloning functionality is actually supported in a proper manner.

  • I'v downloaded a tv series,paid for it, its in my itunes but with exclamation marks next to it, every time it tries to download the series it says "part of the file seems to be corrupted" and tells me to redownload it.Tried that and it comes up the same.

    Clear the contents of ...iTunes\iTunes Media\Download and try one more time.
    If the problem recurs use the "report a problem" links in your account history and explain what has happened so far. There may be a problem with the source rather than your download of it.

  • How can I compensate for what a transition takes from a title clip?

    I'm putting together, in iMovie 4, a slideshow, consisting entirely of clips from the Photo Pane. I imported my clips to the Viewer, then added cross-dissolve transitions, except where I wanted to create a title. Some clips have the Ken Burns Effect.
    Here's the problem: after I add a title clip, then add transitions in front & back of it, the title clip's duration reduces. With the title highlighted, I go back into the Title Pane and increase its duration, but the transition bleeds off the increase, as it re-renders, every time. There's no problem updating a photo clip between two dissolves.
    The cross-dissolves are about 1:20 in duration. I want my title clips to be about 2:10 or so. There's also the problem with title clips that their total duration is a combination of speed and pause. So adjusting their duration is complicated, once I get the total duration I want, but then have to try compensating for what the transition will take away.
    Has anyone solved this problem for themselves, & if so, what do they suggest?
    HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    David

    What if you put a photo down for a set duration, and
    then put the same photo down back to back with the
    first one, and use the second one to make the
    transition with? Then of course, use a "transition"
    photo for the next clip, and then back to back with
    it, with a secondary clip of the same photo to last
    the desired duration before you go on to the next
    clip, with a third but same photo dedicated to make
    the transition with? And so on...
    Your suggestion has helped me in other ways by introducing me to the concept of adding clips to solve problems. I won't get into the details. Lennart, some time ago, suggested the same thing in another context, which worked, but I didn't transfer that knowledge, until now. Thanks.

  • I would have been happier with the final if FC did what its supposed to do...WORK!

    So I can say I finally got my site up and running….JUST. It was created in Flash Catalyst CS5 and I have to say the program made it pretty easy to build until the file started to push 15MB. NOTHING close to the 40MB FC seems to have issues with. At the end of the build I was getting extremely frustrated with the program continuously shutting down claiming it was out of memory. I spent two hrs this morning trying to add the final touches. This would have taken 15 minutes max if the program was running correcly. Its not a weakness in my computer either, this machine is more than capable of creating this site.
    The site is www.christianmichaelphotography.com. For now its going to have to stay the way it is as the last time I tried to work on the file I got an error message saying “This FXP project is invalid and cannot be opened”
    Luckily I had saved a version to upload to the web so rolled with it. Its not finished and some links don’t work but If FC doesn’t run…for now the site has to stay as it is. A very bitter sweet moment for me. Adobe….you really need to sort this memory issue out.
