Database Info

Anyone ever take a shot at the Samsung M7600 beat dj?

I know its not a smartphone but does that matter? is android at all possible on this device? It looks like it has soo much potential at least for andro newbs that dont require wifi or anything. the stock firmware sucks and ive scoured the internet for updated firmware and its all deleted like the device isnt supported anywhere anymore .
anyone here ever take a crack at it ??

Neat phone; I would assume, if Android was never on the phone, and the phone was comprised of hardware parts that have never been in another Android phone, that there wouldn't be enough base information to compile a working image (no driver info for hardware, among other things.) Just a supposition though.

What if every phone had vanilla android?

I just dont get why the manufacturers bother with spending so much money on developing a user interface and then keeping it relevant with the latest android versions.
People say that they do that to differentiate their phones. When I see samsung, HTC, SE, motorola and LG phones I can clearly distinguish them on hardware.
Does google not allow them to release a stock phone or what? Basically it will be like we have several different versions of a nexus phone. Look at LG what good does it give them to have their user interface? Nobody says anything good about their software, they are so late with updates. LG makes respectable hardware for the price but because of the software thing I will never consider their phone.
I honestly think it will actually give the manufacturers a competitive advantage especially struggling ones and the money they will save on software development they can perhaps use it to lower the prices or something.

The vanilla interface is a bit rough in my opinion, i'm glad my HTC has sense

i find samsung contacts and dialer much better than vanilla one, i really miss them in cm7

Alright, I will go over this issue again. The members of this community who like to hack and tweak their phone are the gross minority when it comes to the consumers. The average consumer does not understand the hardware or anything about the phone. They see a phone with a pretty clock that can open an app quickly. If the manufacturers didn't offer their personal touches, there would be nothing to differentiate themselves from their competition. Consider us lucky though, we have a great community offering us any flavor of Android we choose for our phones.

That's the reason why some people chose the pure google experience.You know the Nexus One, Nexus S, and now the Galaxy Nexus. It would be nice that other manufacturers would make phones without any costom UI and other things, and the updates would be rolling out from google over the air. Welcome to reality...?

This was a thread for general discussion, there are many threads at the forum with a "?" in the end. This is the second time it's happened I really dont get it. I wasnt merely "asking" something for me but just something for general discussion.

Yea, it is stupid. Some people don't understand the English language. The Q&A section is not meant for questions without a definitive answer...those questions are meant for discussion. Some of the mods are real geniuses though.

I think he just sees a question mark and moves it. Its happened to me before and it is kinda irritating.

Rather than having manufacturer skins forced down peoples throats, i'd like to see a unified Android Theme Changer integrated into the OS. Manufacturers could then release devices with their own selection of Themes, including an option for 'Vanilla'. That way everybody has a choice.
Any additional software should be released through the Market for those that want it. One Nexus release a year is not enough for those of us who like our Androids unadulterated.

should I get the N9?

I can get the N9 on the cheap $29 plan here in Australia, but I am not too sure about the future of Meego, should I get this phone for the sake of this phone and assume Meego is dead, or will Meego have a future and I will be reward with N10?

go for it..its very smooth and stable..i tried it myself...and on the other hand there will be android apps on meego so they say.

I think MeeGo hasn't got any future and it's a dead platform right now.
As I watched couple some videos, it's not stable. Many of the apps don't work normally, e.g. maps. Sometimes, the app crashes.

May be there's a small chance that Android will be ported to N9
Save your money.
But it's only my opinion. It's for you to decide.

Thanks I have decided not to take the risk, and stick with Android.

OS Version Display Tool?

I'm working on a project where I need to interview many people who are not smartphone savvy and most likely will not know what phone OS they are using or even if they have a "smartphone" (Android, iOS, WP7). We need to determine if they really do have a smartphone and if so what version OS they are currently using. Does anyone know of something like a web-based site that would give this information to the user? I found systemdetails.com, but it didn't seem to work for iOS devices. I'm looking ideally for a simple to use and widely available tool (something the user doesn't have to download) to determine this information. Getting version numbers on iOS and WP7 devices isn't too bad as we could give the users directions, but with the Android devices it might be more difficult with the skinning. Thanks for your help!

Well let's try this again. My apologies for posting this in the incorrect forum. Anyone have any ideas on this? Figured I'd give it one last shot. Thank you for the help.

What about browser useragent strings?

sorry For the failure.
I don't wish the post was not in Q&A

No, not as an end user. The dev could if they were willing, but probably would have done in the first place if they were going to.

Totally different languages of code being used between the two makes it difficult...like the other user said not really probable to be done as an end user of an app...requires the dev to do it themselves...though the process has become slightly easier over time for some devs as there are more tools available and even now companies offering the specific service for porting apps to other platforms...helps those other companies that don't have the staff to handle the port while also supporting the current device app.

Try using AppBrain...it will give you recommended apps that are really useful...
And I know there is an equivalent Android app for every iPhone app that's out there
