Smartphones compatibility

Hi!
I've been using arch for a few years now, and everything works perfectly. However, I plan to get a new phone in a few days, so I've started looking for informations about their compatibility with linux (and more precisely, with arch).
Currently two phones have my attention, the iphone 4 and samsung/google's nexus S. There doesn't seem to be any doubt that the first one wont be recognized on any linux system. For the nexus however I thought there wouldn't be any problem (since it's running android), but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've come across a few messages from archlinux users saying their nexus wasn't recognized, these posts are a bit old though, so here I am, wondering if there's been any change to that yet?
So, is there any news?
Thanks,

My experience with an ipod touch :
Without jailbreaking :
- Gtkpod is theroretically capable of copying music and updating the ipod's db.
But it does not work well. (actually it is quite bad for what I've tried - I still use itunes for music)
- It is possible to have acces to the filesystem by usb with libimobiledevice (actually only to the user's home) but it does not make any sense since no app store program is able to access the filesystem directly (!).
You cannot even see your notes or anything since they aren't plain text.
I haven't tried contact/calendar/mail sync since I also use gmail.
As far as I can see, it could work with libimobiledevice.
With jailbreking :
Now it becomes a little bit more interessant. You finally have root acces on *your* device (/ included).
- You can ssh(fs) to it to sync for example notes and use some cydia program to edit them (very usefull)
- Sadly they aren't any good music players to read music from filesystem (meanig that it should be compatible with apple's double-click on the home button to change music, not be too buggy, etc.)
There used to be one (pwnplayer) but it has been abandoned and apparentely does not work at all on iOS>4 (no, it is impossible to downgrade your firmware, too)
-- Rant --
I just don't understand why all manufacturers spend that effory into making it very difficult for users simply to install what they want on the device they bought.
I thought it was only Apple, but apparently every mobile device is likewise limited.

Blackberry curve 8330 smartphone compatibility with windows 7

Hi, Could anyone please provide me information whether Blackberry curve 8330 smartphone compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 operating system?

Hi and Welcome to the forums!
Compatibility is a function of the RIM Desktop Software more so than the device itself. See here:

Mail For Exchange - Compatability/Downloads menu i...

Using N79
SW 31.002.205.4.
Up until this morning running MfE 2.9.158. Just been offerred 2.9.160 via App.Update. Post install check indicates this has been available for months - why the delay in pushing it through to App.Update?
MfE 2.9.160 still not fixed old issue of being unable to open MfE settings following phone restart - why not? - threads dating back to 1st quarter 2009! but this one explains the issue precisely:
/t5/Messaging-Email-and-Browsing/Mail-for-Exchange-corrupted/m-p/603626/highlight/true#M21922
It's the only app on my phone that cannot be routinely opened - not good.
Notwithstanding this idiosyncrasy email syncing is more hit than miss but falls way short of my iPod touch which is 100% rock solid regarding Exchange compatability. Does Nokia want Exchange Server based customers- my guess is not enough. Generally speaking if I notice emails hitting my iPod but not my N79 it's time for a phone restart. But that kills the ability to open MfE settings So it's back to a re-install.
If the above isn't bad enough Nokia has just made it worse. This "current" link from the N79 support page is dead;
http://businesssoftware.nokia.com/mail_for_exchange_downloads.php
and after much dead-ending find that the Ovi Store now contains MfE - no problem with that it makes sense to consolidate. But no mention of N79 being supported by the latest greatest MfE and Ovi only lists 3.0 as supporting FP1 phones - so wht about FP2?
Is my N series phone supported anymore - I've got no idea.
Wake up Nokia it's 2010 not 1990 - we shouldn't have to put up with this **bleep** in basic functionality.
Judging by lack of action over the past 12 months have no hope Nokia will put this right but that my dear Nokia is how you lose customers to your rivals Apple and RIM. Pull your finger out.

I'm hoping this fix works for me long term and post as is.
Multiple phone calls to Nokia Tier 1 and 2 phone support heavily supplemented by some determined Google searching led me to the following solution.
First off the bad news. To fix the MfE issue requires a hard reset of the device. There's no way around this so resign yourself to it early.
The good news however is you can dramatically reduce the time needed to return your device back to its pre-reset condition by backing up your device using Ovi Suite. Forget to do this and you'll be re-installing your apps one at a time.
My issue was made more difficult because the usual hard re-set code (*#7370 #) would not reset the device i.e. full recovery of phone memory, complete wiping of contacts etc. Ignoring Nokia's advice to return the phone for repair! I turned up an alternative method which achieved the hard re-set I was seeking.
As follows:
Hold these three keys down - *, 3 and green accept call - whie the phone is off, then power on keeping them depressed until the Nokia logo plays.
On the N79 this involves an usual amount of manual dexterity but nevertheless worked where the re-set code failed. Hopefully this won't be necessary for most users.
Once re-set you will be presented with the Set up menu as per a new phone.
With a fully recovered phone memory you can now restore your earlier backup via Ovi Suite, which for me did 90% of the work needed to get my phone back to its earlier personalised condition. I took the opportunity of checking for any programme updates of essential apps and updated as necessary. Re-installation of Speed Dial settings and permitted Bluetooth devices amongst other items was required but all in all all my data and file structure was faithfully restored first time around.
I am now running MfE 3.0 (actually 2.09.208 - see initial thread posting ) which Nokia support advise is not supported for the N79 - given the varying level of advice received I'm prepared to run with my own view that it works fine. If you wish to play safe you should be running 2.9.160.
I have re-booted the phone multiples times over the last two days and on only one occasion (which I'm going to pretend never happened) MfE has been rock solid. In addition Ovi Maps which had stopped opening - and was fundamentally what set me off down the road of a hard re-set - is now working perfectly.
I'm hoping this cures the irritating MfE problem long term pending Nokia sorting out whether they even support the N79 any longer as far as MfE is concerned.
As a sign off I will just say for my purposes the N79 is the best smartphone I've ever owned and supplemented with an iPod Touch is a fantastic work/play combination. If you are allowed tethering on your contract I contend Walking Hot Spot is THE killer app and so confident am I of my choice of phone I've just bought a second N79, at a much reduced price, which I'm going to use as a backup/extension to my existing N79 when it dies and goes to heaven.
Hope this post saves someone else some timeand effort.

Reasons why the E72 is NOT a 'smartphone'

Contrary to what Nokia says in its marketing blurb and what the dealer claims, the Nokia E72 (and by inference, others in its ilk) is NOT a 'smartphone' by any stretch of the mind. Yes, the E72 (and its predecessor the E71 and to a lesser extent the E63) are designs of beauty, good form factor, full QWERTY keyboard, brilliant screen, good camera and wonderful media compatibility features. But a 'smartphone' is more. The following are some reasons (having owned - and regretted big time - an E72 for the past 2 weeks:
1. Top of my complaints list is the fact that the E72 does not have a good desktop suite. The Nokia PC Suite that it ships with is a poor substitute. For one, it merely allows the phone's contents to be viewed on a PC screen; it does not allow for the phone's data to be viewed or manipulated offline. What this means is that the E72 must be connected to the PC for you to be able to see the contents. What a 'smartphone' needs is the ability for its desktop suite software to be able to be used even when the phone is not connected to the PC (ie offline). This requires a full copy of the phone's data to be stored on the PC and one is able to view, change, edit, etc this data.
Reasons why one wold want to work offline on the PC are many. Firstly, it lets you edit the data on the PC (much easier to work on a full PC than on an E72). You can input all your contacts data, etc on the PC then sync to the phone. Similarly, other data (such as diary events, notes, etc can be authored on a PC and then uploaded on to the E72. Additionally, one can use the PC Suite software as your main PIM (personal info management) software. But I suppose Nokia doesn't want people to be able to do that. What a shame, if that's what the modern day executive needs then he'll just go elsewhere.
Another reason why the PC Suite software should allow full data manipulation is ... what if your phone is lost, how would you access all your info (contacts, calendar events, memos, notes, etc)? Even if you have a daily backup, the Nokia user would actually need to acquire another phone (similar model or equivalent) and then do a restore. Until then, the backup file is of no use (because it cannot be viewed or manipulated). Such backup strategies (in proprietary flat files) are from the dark ages of computer technology! Nokia still believes it is cutting edge!
2. Nokia's PC Suite software is a joke. Not only does it require that the phone is connected to the PC for it to work, it actually handles data quite differently from the way the phone itself handles the same data! You can change the fields on the phone but not on the PC Suite, eg you can edit the field on the phone from "Mobile" to "Mobile 1", you can create a new field called "Mobile 2" but on the PC Suite, all you get is the standard "Mobile" and the second mobile field you create is not found! Wow, what synchronisation!
3. On the phone itself, a true 'smartphone' gives its user a multitude of options to do things his/her own way. In calendar events mode, I may want to set alarms 15mins before or 30 mins after! The E72 only allows before, that too only with a set of predetermined figures - ie I cannot set an alarm 23 mins before.
For some events, I may want to repeat the event and its related alarm on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. A professor may want to set a weekly alarm (starting from week 1 of the semester to week 14 of the semesster) for his lectures. Another person may want to set an alarm on a certain day of the month for his loan repayment to the bank. The Nokia allows you to set an annual anniversary alarm only. I cannot set an alarm for an event 3 days ahead (say, to give me advance notice to buy a present for a loved one!)
When editing calendar events, if you change a field but then decide to not keep the new figure, there is no option to cancel. Only the DONE button is present. You have to save (done) then re-edit the field. Silly.
Similarly the Snooze buttin ought to give the user flexibility to put the alarm off for any set of time. The phone may remind me of an upcoming event say 4 hours beforehand, I then need to put if off (snooze) for say an hour before it reminds me again. That's what a 'smartphone' does, remind you politely like an english butler!
4. The synchronising cable that Nokia ships with the E72 is another joke - its no longer than 6 inches long. Coupled with the requirement that the phone must be hooked up to the PC when doing any work on the PC Suite (see items 1 & 2 above), what if there is an incoming call? How do you answer the call with a 6 inche cable connecting the phone to the PC? Sure Nokia want's to make savings, but it should be practical.
The above are the main grouses that I have with the E72. As any reader can aappreciate, they are all related to the software side of the phone. At the moment - and with my unit being still new - I have not come across any issues related to the build quality. Yes the design of the battery cover seem flimsy. Its ok so far but I can see its not going to last that way for very long. Yes there is a bit of light leak directly under the Home key but I can live with it. The rear battery cover smudges easily and is a pain to keep clean, but hey, you can't have it all good.
But as far as the software side is concerned, yes, I do expect it to perform well in handling my data. We live in a modern world where most of us have an information overload in our daily lives. That's why we look forward to a 'business smartphone' - a device that is better than a personal assistant and one I can carry in my pocket. But when we have major global corporations such as Nokia promising you an 'advanced business smartphone' that actually falls three steps short, then I believe the public is being cheated for good.
I hope other readers would read this post and are better informed about what kind of device they'd be getting should they decide to purchase an E72. I also realise that Nokia may decide to edit (or even delete entirely) this post, but hey, if that happens, then I'd be promptem to post a copy of this review in a dozen other public forums.
Have a great day!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'

You are correct, well done - it is my view.
But no, I am disabled and don't work for anyone, but I was a programming consultant.
If I'm buying or bought anything in the past such as an E71 or E72 then I make sure it can do what I need it to before hand. The E71 surpassed my requirements.
Mine came with a USB cable over a meter long, however I use bluetooth and need to do nothing - if my PC is on it knows my phone is there and visa versa without me doing anything (smart!).
The phone can access any of my PC files I require using the phone even when I am out and the PC is switched off. The phone tells me which bus stops to get off at and which way to go when I do. The phone can manage all my calls right down to tailoring for specific numbers and depending on my GPS location do different things. I can automatically order my repeat prescriptions from anywhere and watch live TV or stream my favourite radio stations wherever I am. I can use msn or any messenger, wherever I am - I could go on and on - my phone is definitely 'smart'.
Ovi is similar to PC suite but much more. You can sync contacts with the ovi server and then access them from any PC. I don't need that functionality so I don't know it very well but I have used it a few times. Ovi is Nokia's mobile web service, go to 'my nokia' to find out, its not difficult.
I have no need to read your post again, none of what you said justifies the heading you gave this thread.
If your beloved Palm is so great then go buy another one, why would we be bothered about them in this thread.
Bottom line is this, you have NOT given any good reasons why the E72 (or any E series phone) 'is NOT a smartphone'. What you believe we think about what is excellent is irrelevant.

802.11a/g/n optimizing for compatibility

How to ensure maximum client compatibility and stability in 802.11a/b/g/n networks?
I am running a Wireless network based on the WLC 5508 6 SW version, (with WCS mgmt) and 1142 APs. I would like a broad variety of clients, old G clients and new N clients to experience a stable connection to the network. I see Apple Macbooks, Lenovo-, Dell- and HP laptops in addition to HTC smartphones and iPhones on this network.
I am having issues with some types of clients experiencing "unstable" connections. They are able to get a link for a variable ammount of time, then suddenly loose connection for a short period of time before reconnecting. These clients mostly use a third party SSL-VPN link over my wireless, therefore the loss of connection can be quite annoying. From time to time some of these clients seem to be flapping between access points but not seamless like roaming should be, rather with a short stop in connectivity before reconnecting.
Previously we had a 802.11g Aruba wireless network in the same location. It had no such difficulties. This points me toward the config parametres in the controller.
Which 802.11 b/g/n and WLAN parameters can affect this? I am looking for a document describing a best practice for setting up these parameters, or if someone here has input to a successful stable setup as the configuration guide only says e.g. "Enable if you want Aironet Information Elements" does not help in deciding if I want this
My WLAN is set up with WPA2/AES PSK
and a guest network with web auth
Examples of parameters:
which Radio policy (bgn or gn)
Aironet IE?
MFP (disabled or enabled)
QoS profile?
can CCX location measurement affect performance?
Which Data rates should be set mandatory/enabled/disabled?
MCS (data rate) settings for 802.11n
anything I have forgotten?
The goal is:
A simple, no hassle network providing maximum compatibility with different clients with a plus of 802.11n speeds for compatible clients

Hey! I implemented your suggested improvements and the first impression is good!
on 802.11a and b/g I disabled lower datarates, set 12Mbps to mandatory and the higher ones to supported. The instant improvement was the RTT measurements I made (previously they averaged at about 13ms (to an internet site) after the change they dropped to about 3-4 ms on average! I would say this is a very significant improvement!
I have not been able to get any feedback from the user community yet :), but it sounds promising...
I am still looking for some more insight into these issues, so if someone still has some ideas, please let us know!

Best PDA/SmartPhone for Macs (iSync)?

I love BlackBerrys and have had quite a few. Right now I'm on the BB 8800, but recently I have been trying to sync simple--though lengthy, around 1500-3000--word documents (not attatchments, just copy and paste) using both the Stickies app (which only seems to be able to hold just less than 1500 words per stickie) as well as PocketMac with Entourage (which results in the title of the note appearing in the memos section of my BlackBerry, however when I open it there is no text at all, even when everything appears on Entourage.
So, if you can't help me with that issue above, I'd really appreciate it, but if not, WHICH SMARTPHONE IS MOST COMPATABLE, RELIABLE, EASY TO USE WITH MACS? (similar to the blackberry 8800 would be convenient, but not necessary) And please, I know the iPhone is obviously the best but that is not available yet. So, please HELP!

thanks for the (not) help!

Error "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"

I have a Curve 8300. With OS v4.5.0.81. And I am on a BB Social network plan through my cell providor "Fido".
I mainly use it for Facebook & Twitter and have no problems using either app. However I was prompted for an update for my twitter recently but wasn't near a wifi spot to update. Just decided to update today at home where I do have wifi. However when I go to do the update, it gives me the following error:
"Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones"
I have scoured for answers but haven't had much luck. I tried checking for OS updates. I apparently have the most current one that my phone will support. I uninstalled twitter and then tried to reinstall it via the twitter Icon on my phone. Got the same error. Tried reinstalling it through app world, it installed just fine. However it installed the version that I had previously had. So I went to twitter's settings and checked for updates. It prompted for one as I expected it would. And when I tried to get the update. It gave me that error again. I can use twitter as it is, but I don't see why my phone shouldn't be able to get all the updates for various apps. Is it a software compatability issue? Is it a hardware compatability issue? Is there anything I can do to get the update or do I just have a phone that won't take some app updates?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
The 8300 is not listed in the device upgrade table for Blackberry device OS v5.0. The newer versions of apps like Twitter and Facebook require device OS v5.0 to run correctly. Might be time to consider a new device!

Camera Window for Android -- Compatibility update ETA?

I have an SX280 HS which I bought specifically for its WiFi features and the great Camera Window app. As you may or may not know, it is completely and utterly incompatible with the now standard Android 5.0 Lollipop. Although the software development kit has been available since October 2014, there has been no update from Canon and no communication from Canon regarding an update.
Considering that I bought this camera for its compatibility with my smartphone, I am understandably annoyed at Canon's incompetence in something as simple as up-to-date software. Does anyone have an idea of when an update will actually come? I have contacted Canon but received only a very generic, cut-and-paste reply which tells you absolutely nothing. I'd be less bothered if there was some kind of ETA to look forward to but at this point I might just look to another manufacturer instead.
Cheers for any information you might have.

Having the same problem in Argentina. I've tried downloading a VPN program first but still ending up in Google Play getting same response. Have you been able to solve this?

Compatibility CK-15W

I've been purchasing Nokia phones and genuine accesoires now for over a decade, usually from the top of the line.
Since my N95 is now failing bit by bit, I am looking for a new device, I was looking at a N97, C6-00 or N8, but suddenly I remembered to check availability for my carkit.
I have the CK-15W now, before I had the CK-1W, which I could use for many of my blue-tooth phones, but since the N95, it didn't pair properly no more.
So I got the CK-1W out and replaced it for the CK-15W, to make it compatible with my N95.
But to my suprise, the CK-15W is hardly any compatible, or so it seems, with the latest Nokia phones. I did notice the N8 and the C6-01 are compatible, but do I seriously need to buy every time with a new phone, new blue-tooth accesoires?
There was a time that Nokia was well-known for its compatibility, but i've been wondering in the last years why I should stay with Nokia, and now there seems to be another reason to go with a generic carkit and any other bluetooth smartphone.
But before I go that way, can the Nokia-buffs tell me how compatible the CK-15W is? Why is the C6-00 not compatible and the C6-01 is?
Why is the N97 Mini compatible, and the N97 not?
I would be grateful to hear if the problems can be solved.

Thanks, it does help.
Is it possible to publish that list? Like I mentioned, the consumer lists are not up-to-date nor complete.
In the past, my N95 8Gb was compatible, but disappeared from the list.
And there would be a huge difference between not tested and not compatible.
Why is it, that the phones are not backwards compatible? It just seems software that keeps a modern phone from compatibility.

Documents about mobiles compatibility with J2ME

Hello!
I have to develop a J2ME application and before, I'd like to write a document about all compatibility aspects I must consider in order to make this application compatible with all (or at least the most of) the existing mobiles handsets (simple cell phones, smartphones, blackberries and so on...).
I'd like to write a document containing, for instance, for each brand of mobile, the available APIs, JSRs, fonctionnalities, etc.
Can someone, please, lead me to where to find such a document?

Verizon Palm Treo 700w and Jawbone bluetooth compatibility

I'm having problems pairing this bluetooth with my smartphone. Has anyone else had this problem? Were you able to resolve it? If so, how did you resolve?
Post relates to: Treo 700w (Verizon)

This headset is not compatible with the 700w. I have tested this on the 700w and just cannot get it to work. Here is a link to the 700w compatibility list
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/700w/verizon/solutions/article/43763_en.html

I have formatted my SSD and hard drive.... I am running a clean install from disk of 8.1 pro. I cannot determine if it is a compatibility

issue or hardware issue. I had run a memory test and scan disk for bad sectors from the bios. As administrator, I enabled automount in diskpart to allow windows to assign a drive name.
From the bios, I can see both drives and only the ssd. I have not pinpointed when the harddisk is unmounted. It is formatted as NTFS. I can hear it unmount either during boot or upon waking from sleep mode. The bios sees no bad sectors nor does windows.
However, when I had the intel compatibility software installed, my hard drive never mounted. I did a restart and inorder for windows to see my hard drive. I disabled the intel software for the 4th gen i7 processor. This problem is happening less often. I do
not think I have solved the problem. Intel or Windows... I think a bit of both.
If there is a software patch, please guide me to it. I am in school and use my laptop ALL the time. I believe it is a compatibility issue. I have attached this from searching intel's site for downloads and windows is up to date.
I am quite concerned because I can hear my harddrive unmount. It is labeled as healthy NTFS partition. I have checked for hidden volumes and done everything I know to do to check the integrity of the hardware as administrator. I have searched microsofts
libraries and forums and have done everything I can find as suggestions.
I have checked for malware, viruses, etc. My only clue this is going to happen is the hard disk spins up and I hear the fan, then I hear it unmount the drive. Of course, after unmounted there are other issues which I have ruled out as the cause of the problem.
Basically, I am experiencing a lack of swap space after my hard drive unmounts.
Any suggestions, are welcome! I would really like to know if this is a known windows issue. I should not have to disable intel's processor software. I paid for the features of the i7 and would like to utilise the processor.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

"Enable Swipe" don't work and Tablet Layout on a Smartphone

Hi there,
I have two big problems with my own site www.mhgrafikdesign.de:
1. I have different slideshows in my tablet version of my site. I created the slideshow before one of the updates with the feature "Enable swipe" came out. However, it worked well on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1n. Now I have a Microsoft Surface and it's not working anymore although "Enable Swipe" is enabled. I don't know if the Microsoft Surface has problems with the slideshow or one of the updates has "damaged" my slideshow. Please help me! Any ideas?
2. I have a HTC 8S smartphone and if I type www.mhgrafikdesign.de my smartphone always show me the tablet version. Any idea why? P.S. Swiping there is also not possible.
Many thanks for quick help. My website is my flagship in the web and it's a little bit embarrassing if my slideshow on the tab don't work... = /

This is now a slideshow created with Muse: Homepage
The slideshow uses fullscreen mode and was build with the latest version of Muse. On my Win8-Tablet, it is not working. I tested this with the IE11 in desktop- and in modern-ui-mode.
Next to this problem, I also run into these things:
1. Using the buttons to go forward and backward in the slideshow will select the text-arrow inside the button when touched.
2. Clicking the forward- and backward-button behaves different. Windows Desktop -> slideshow does not roll back, so you can click forever in one direction, no feedback that you reached the end. On iOS -> slideshow will be rolled back and you get the visual feedback to start over again.
3. Zoom into the fullscreen-slideshow will result in strange and not really controllabel behaviour. Zooming in does not allow to pan.
But I am not talking only about the phones. It is more about windows tablets in general. So, content can be viewed in the InternetExplorer11 in desktop-mode and also in modern-UI-mode (touch does work in both modes). But it is also possible, that people use other browsers like Firefox and Chrome. I think, it would be a quite a good idea to translate the movement of the mousepointer into gestures. This javascript library shows what I think is a good aproach: Hammer.JS - Hammer.js

A problem with hyperlinks in my Interactive PDF on smartphones...

I hope someone can help... I exported both an interactive and for print PDF from inDesign. When I view the PDFs on my pc the hyperlinks that I've made in the document work perfectly fine. When I view the PDFs on my smartphone, the hyperlinks don't work. I've gone through many forums to make sure all my settings were correct and have tried many different things to try to get them to work, but still no luck. Has anyone come across this issue? Is there any way to get these hyperlinks to work on a smartphone?

Interactive PDFs on mobile devices are nothing short of a crapshoot.
The readers are hit or miss and the better ones require payment.
I wish I had better news for you but right now, that’s the way it is.

hiya!
if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
Resetting iPod warnings
do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?
love, b
