I've heard they were going to put out this magazine before, and to me, its pretty much a joke of a magazine.
Let me give you an excerpt from the first page which made me laugh:
"In a world full of roadblocks, rules and lame limitations, Droid has none. It empowers you to do life on your terms, in your own time."
I'm sure you are all laughing right now.
Lets see, Droid has no limitations..... I'm assuming they aren't including forced bloatware and forced custom UI's? Right....
"It empowers you to do life on your terms..."
Obviously except for not being able to remove apps you don't want on your phone, or to choose to have a pure Android experience without Motoblurcrap or Sense or any other (I don't really mind Sense, but it's the principle!)

Other than that, the magazine is just trying to sell you accessories and phones. [/QUOTE]
The only reason it was mailed out.
Doc

It was a complete joke and nothing at all like what they were trying to promote before it came out. Marketing bull.

Truly scary would be a magazine titled "BlackBerry!" Can you imagine the sorry crap an issue of that would contain?!

Magazines still exist? Damn.

i got the magazine in the mail also. didnt even open it up... i just tossed it in the trash.

ok, so is Carrier IQ on the sidekick?

I don't know where to look for it in my root folder, does anyone know where it would be or if it's on this phone?

CIQ is only on the new phone's starting the amaze to SGS2 not on the Sidekick 4G .

Update: I downloaded treve's app onto my broken Sidekick and ran it. it appears that it found no trace of Carrier IQ on the phone; however, as far as I'm aware, different OEMs may be able to install it differently, and we're just beginning to understand it, so there is the possibility that it's just installed in a different folder on this phone, or under different file names, etc. So we should probably keep an eye out for it.

do we know that for sure though? the company's been around since 2005, and apparently has made a name for themselves among the cell phone barons; surely they didn't just start shipping a product to the carriers. also, the Sidekick is only about 7 months old or so. and i think I saw a post saying it's on some older phones than that... this one may be ok, given that CIQ probably has to be modified for each modified Android version, and the one we're running is pretty unique, but it's too early to tell.

Best person to ask all that is sudvick pm him
Glorious+Overdose+V2+-+PDTsk4g

I'm telling you what i know , CIQ has been started on RECENT device's , i'm talking about 2 month's recent .

CARRIER IQ IS NO ON THE SK4G ONLY THE NEW BLACKBERRIES the amaze,exhibit 2, and the 3 new lg phones the mytouch and the doubleplay http://www.tmonews.com/2011/12/t-mo...rnal-quick-guides-for-carrier-iq-information/

One way to find out for sure. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.simplecarrieriqdetector Post results please!

I think we should still keep an eye out, especially if the device gets upgraded to Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich -- the newer OS may add Carrier IQ.
But thanks to all who did the research on this. I am VERY relieved this forced spyware is NOT on this phone!!!

From your screen pics, it looks like you are rooted/ROM'd -- ROMS will not have Carrier IQ. Are you ROM'd or are you running stock SK4G?

Adobe Flash for ICS Leak

Alright as we all know Adobe is dropping flash support for Android starting with 4.1 (aka. Jellybean). They are even going as far as pulling flash from the play store on August 15. They specifically say though they will support flash for 4.0.x devices (which should include us). The problem is though flash does not work! Or at least embedded flash video does not work. This is not just a problem with the ICS leak, after spending a couple of hours scouring forums I've found that pretty much every Moto device on ICS is having this problem (including the Razr, Razr Maxx, and Bionic). As am sure with a lot of you flash was a large selling point for Android over iOS. Even though HTML5 is emerging, it is still in its infancy stages, and not many websites support it; most websites are still using flash. So I am creating this thread as a "work thread" to get ideas and solutions out there to get flash working on our phones.

I had a back up of adobe flash with tbu and it will not install at all. It just hangs. Its frustrating.

I just installed it from the Play Store and loaded a flash video site in Dolphin and it worked perfectly.

What website? All sites I've tried don't work....

I believe XDA ToS may not allow me to post it here without being banned or something.

Yeah, but I can't get it to play embedded videos online. They just buffer, but don't play.

Thanks to all devs and contributers

After seeing some comments posted in certain threads I thought that it would be a good idea to post a thank-you "note" on the forums thanking all devs and helpfull people working on this already great device to make it even better.
I bought the one x knowing it to be able powerfull device but once I got it I pretty much satisfied with it except all the bloat att put on it and even worse there was no way to get it off. So that began my journey looking for a way to free my device from its useless load and I happened to have stumbled upon xda-developers just at the right time when xfactor was being released. I Immediately rooted via the help of all the wonderful folks on these forums. A few days later I installed viper xl and was blown away by the level of customizability of the Rom. Later I installed beastmode and overclocked up to 1.8 ghz. Now I had my dream machine....no bloat ,blazing fast, super stable.:thumbup:. There have been a few ups and downs and "oh what do I do now. I hope I haven't bricked my phone" moments but it always turned out ok and now I have a setup I'll never want to get rid of. I don't have any money to donate to anyone, but if I did I would, because it all happened because of them. Anyway typing this llong of a message on the phone is a pain so let me end it here. Thanks guys keep up the work.

Yea some good and knowledgeable people reside here. I hardly ever see negative attitude, never a flame. Browse around other phone forums.. There's some real DB's if you know what I mean.

Makes me miss the old hero days I remember having so many questions I never felt scared to ask I even posted in dev section no one flamed me or even mentioned it they just helped thinking of xda then and looking at xda now

All that's ot though. Thanks to the whole community!

I ask question all the time in the dev section. Generally always get a respectable answer.

Only people who get flamed around here are those who refuse to do their own reading and research, or who flash international roms when they should know better.
The only reason I do any of this is to boost my Thanks Meter anyway.

From what I know about the situation, the HTC One X should be safe.

Htc have the ****test customers service they have already been on watchdog and rated terrible this won't mean anything
Maybe if this was samsung it would mean something unfortunately it ain't

Let's all start harassing them on social networks! Tag HTC in your post along with #updateones hash tag and rant about it..
Let this be the beginning of a revolution..

The amaze 4G got only a SINGLE update even that was for ics sense 3.6 even tho it has much more better hardware specs than most of their newer devices, many patents were signed but they didn't change their mind!! They also cornered amaze 4G with twilink chip set which no other htc phone has so even porting roms wouldn't be successful htc is real assy when it comes to updates so even I signed to give them a hard time good luck one s users hope you'll get the update so we can port broken sense 5 least haha
