Re: [FRIAM] Wow. 6 whole days without a Nexus 4 post.

2013-02-28 Thread Eric Smith
Don't mean to thread hijack, but it seems this thread was pretty far gone 
anyway.

I must say that the English phonotactics are really on display here.

Googlezon sounds like something big, heavy and vaguely dangerous, a kind of 
Golem but somewhat clunky and difficult to take seriously, like the monsters in 
old Japanese semi-animations.

Amazoogle sounds like something from a Douglas Adams book, with a long wiggly 
trunk and lumpy multicolored skin, probably involving purple and green 
coloration and perhaps spots, and even more difficult to take seriously.

Now why would that be?  Syllable-initial stops versus vowels and sibilants?  
Stress on the final versus the penultimate syllable?  A reduced final vowel in 
the latter that kind of dribbles away?  Must ask my psycholinguist friends for 
a breakdown.  I'm sure they have nothing better to do.

Re: [FRIAM] Wow. 6 whole days without a Nexus 4 post.

2013-02-26 Thread Owen Densmore
Doug: I've been thinking about the google difficulty with managing their
own hardware.

It occurred to me that its history .. i.e. Apple didn't just invent a phone
out of the blue, but instead had a long history of small personal devices.
 Their mp3 players.  And they eventually evolved into a the iPod, a very
sophisticated mp3 player plus much more.  Then the iPhone.

This is also true for the Palm Treo.  Palm had the PDA .. the Palm Pilot
which had years of evolution and maturity.  Only then did they attempt the
jump to a phone.

In google's case, nada.  No hardware history to speak of.  So its not
surprising that they did not succeed.

Also, google as a company lacks the coherence and focus that both apple and
palm had.  They knew their markets and they knew their customers.  They had
considerable experience directly connecting to the customer.  Apple even
went so far as to have stores .. very direct connection with their
customers.

As much as I love the google ecology for mail, docs, search etc .. and
admire their 2-factor authentication, I don't think of them as a single
entity .. but a bunch of loosely coupled, tightly aligned services.  But
the internet is not a market, its a utility like water.

So a google phone is sorta like a Facebook phone, or a Twitter phone.
 Indeed, because they are both greatly engaged with communication, they
make more sense to me than a google phone.

Android came out of google's several attempts to gain traction in the
web/internet world, a web os.  But even there, they really didn't go the
extra mile.  I'd expect Comcast to build a more effective web device ..
internet is a core competency for them.  Google uses the internet and has
data centers, but they are not in control of the network aspect.

So google has an identity problem.  They apparently make their jack on
advertisement.  Would you expect an advertisement agency to build a good
phone?

Where I think google does have identity is in the browser.  Chrome is abs
fab, must have, and way ahead of the pack.  V8 redefined javascript.  So
they do own their destiny there, although unfortunately for them, chrome is
not pre-installed on mac and windows.  No problem for us but quite an issue
for others.

Google really should be called Google Group, LLC with several separate
competency centers that go whole hog after single, focused markets.  G+ is
a winner, but they need to treat it like Facebook, not part of google.
 Android is an OS.  Sun found out selling OSs doesn't work.  And worse,
android, in the phone market, is split between the Unholy Trinity of
carrier, handset provider, and google as OS.

So either google catches up with history, slowly, as done by apple and palm
.. and plans for that type of evolutionary progress, or google will
distract itself into other ventures like big media and even banking
like google wallet.

Here's a question that focuses: which industry would google do best to
acquire dominance?  Should they buy Verizon or Comcast to own the internet
they so well understand .. google fiber to the home?  Should they buy
Disney or CBS or MSNBC or Sony to become a media giant?  Should they buy
Amazon to become e-commerce giants?  Should they buy AWS to own internet
IT?  Amazon is actually a great example .. I really do get Amazon and
understand their evolution.  Kindle, sure obvious.  AWS, sure why not
outsource IT if your already the best?  Cloud music?  Sure, already sell it
so make it a library in the sky.

Google refuses both history and evolution and focus.  They say they're and
advertisement company.  Would you buy a phone from an advertisement company?

Until coherence, no success.

God, thats amazing speed.

I wonder if the cell providers might eventually take over broadband to the
home?  I know there are cell  modem like critters that work as home
broadband (Carl uses one).  Currently they are expensive for massive use
(movies etc).

But with the failure of good broadband availability in much of the US,
anyway, it seems a compelling market.

 So your complaint at this point, now that you've rooted and installed
 a custom ROM, is that the phone can't do WiFi and Bluetooth at the same
 time?

 WiFi and Bluetooth both use the same frequencies (2.1 GHz unregulated
 band) and I've seen specs where they're implemented in the same radio,
 which would mean that you could have one or the other, but not both at the
 same time.  It wouldn't surprise me if that were the standard
 implementation of cell phone WiFi and Bluetooth, especially since I've
 never seen a spec that specified two separate radios for WiFi and 
 Bluetooth.

 My HTC Nexus One, the one that eventually went through the wash, was
 able to stream audio over bluetooth when you plugged it into its cradle.
  That worked fine if it was playing mp3's off the SDcard.  But if you 
 tried
 to stream Pandora from WiFi then you could hear the frequency at which the
 radio was multiplexing between WiFi and Bluetooth.  It was a magnificent
 attempt to make two digital systems stretch to create an analog illusion,
 but it didn't make it.

 There's two phones, Nexus 4 and Nexus One, where we've actually tried
 to run WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time and had problems.

 So, where's the list of phones that you've tested where WiFi and
 Bluetooth operated simultaneously with no problems?

Re: [FRIAM] Wow. 6 whole days without a Nexus 4 post.

2013-02-23 Thread Roger Critchlow
Doug --

So your complaint at this point, now that you've rooted and installed a
custom ROM, is that the phone can't do WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time?


WiFi and Bluetooth both use the same frequencies (2.1 GHz unregulated band)
and I've seen specs where they're implemented in the same radio, which
would mean that you could have one or the other, but not both at the same
time.  It wouldn't surprise me if that were the standard implementation of
cell phone WiFi and Bluetooth, especially since I've never seen a spec that
specified two separate radios for WiFi and Bluetooth.

My HTC Nexus One, the one that eventually went through the wash, was able
to stream audio over bluetooth when you plugged it into its cradle.  That
worked fine if it was playing mp3's off the SDcard.  But if you tried to
stream Pandora from WiFi then you could hear the frequency at which the
radio was multiplexing between WiFi and Bluetooth.  It was a magnificent
attempt to make two digital systems stretch to create an analog illusion,
but it didn't make it.

There's two phones, Nexus 4 and Nexus One, where we've actually tried to
run WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time and had problems.

So, where's the list of phones that you've tested where WiFi and Bluetooth
operated simultaneously with no problems?

Of course, that's the only other Android phone I've owned, so it's a short

Sorry for not collecting all my responses up into one email, but I guess
that technically, I do have one more complaint about the Nexus 4: battery
life is somewhat reduced from having to run the push notifications fixer
app to nudge the phone awake every 5 minutes, for those occasions that the
buggy Qualcomm wifi driver has temporarily defeated the workaround
described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072930.

2013-02-23 Thread Stephen Guerin
The Galaxy S3 has been good on wifi with bluetooth listening to Pandora
(doing it now). I can't hear the multiplexing you refer to, Roger (though
I'm deaf in an ear and tend not to hear high-frequencies well).

I am seeing a similar Google non response to a known issue having to do
with the Galaxy S3 crashing in Google Maps navigation mode.
https://productforums.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mobile/IlJDfMkgl3U.
Very frustrating/dangerous when trying to rely on it in heavy traffic
trying to make a meeting or flight :-)

Bruce, does navigation mode sometimes crash for you?

 So your complaint at this point, now that you've rooted and installed a

 WiFi and Bluetooth both use the same frequencies (2.1 GHz unregulated
 band) and I've seen specs where they're implemented in the same radio,
 which would mean that you could have one or the other, but not both at the
 same time.  It wouldn't surprise me if that were the standard
 implementation of cell phone WiFi and Bluetooth, especially since I've
 never seen a spec that specified two separate radios for WiFi and Bluetooth.

 My HTC Nexus One, the one that eventually went through the wash, was able
 to stream audio over bluetooth when you plugged it into its cradle.  That
 worked fine if it was playing mp3's off the SDcard.  But if you tried to
 stream Pandora from WiFi then you could hear the frequency at which the
 radio was multiplexing between WiFi and Bluetooth.  It was a magnificent
 attempt to make two digital systems stretch to create an analog illusion,
 but it didn't make it.

 There's two phones, Nexus 4 and Nexus One, where we've actually tried to
 run WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time and had problems.

 So, where's the list of phones that you've tested where WiFi and Bluetooth
 operated simultaneously with no problems?

Re: [FRIAM] Wow. 6 whole days without a Nexus 4 post.

2013-02-23 Thread Roger Critchlow
Now that I think on it some more, there's really no reason that a radio
should not be able to receive and transmit WiFi and Bluetooth at the same
time.  It's a little trickier than doing one at a time, but the tricks are
in the software, or in the DSP hardware part of the radio.

There are a whole slew of phones running the same chip as the Nexus 4,
listed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_S4#Snapdragon_S4 in
the APQ8064
row.  The LG Optimus G runs the same processor as the Nexus 4, but using
Android 4.0.  The HTC Droid DNA runs the same processor, but using Android
4.1.  The Sony Xperia Z will run the same processor, but using Android 4.1.
 Hmm, you can see how requests to fix Android 4.2 drivers might end up at
the end of the queue, assuming that any requests have been made.

And I misspoke,  the unregulated band is at 2.4 GHz, not 2.1 GHz.

 Not only can we not get them to acknowledge that the bad wifi / bluetooth

I only tried navigation mode once, briefly, so I can't really testify to
what happens with my ATT Galaxy S3 in that respect.

My main beef with Google currently is that despite major complaints,
including a person pointing out the dangers to someone as a result of
revealing rather publicly with whom they've been hanging out, is that it
is still true that Google+ logs your hangouts in your list of activities.

Re: [FRIAM] Wow. 6 whole days without a Nexus 4 post.

2013-02-23 Thread Douglas Roberts
So, after bitching about WiFi on the Nexus 4 earlier today, I'm now sitting
in the Airport Hyatt in Abq getting 14 Mbps down, and 2 Mbps up with a
solid HSPA+ T-Mobile connection, and guess what: everything works. Google
is an idiot for not fixing WiFi on this phone.

 Yep, that's my one remaining complaint, Roger.  And my list of phones
 that can run wifi and bluetooth simultaneously is the following:

 1) My previous phone, HTC Thunderbolt, running Android Gingerbread 2.3

 Of course, that's the only other Android phone I've owned, so it's a
 short list.

 So your complaint at this point, now that you've rooted and installed a
 custom ROM, is that the phone can't do WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time?


 WiFi and Bluetooth both use the same frequencies (2.1 GHz unregulated
 band) and I've seen specs where they're implemented in the same radio,
 which would mean that you could have one or the other, but not both at the
 same time.  It wouldn't surprise me if that were the standard
 implementation of cell phone WiFi and Bluetooth, especially since I've
 never seen a spec that specified two separate radios for WiFi and 
 Bluetooth.

 My HTC Nexus One, the one that eventually went through the wash, was
 able to stream audio over bluetooth when you plugged it into its cradle.
  That worked fine if it was playing mp3's off the SDcard.  But if you tried
 to stream Pandora from WiFi then you could hear the frequency at which the
 radio was multiplexing between WiFi and Bluetooth.  It was a magnificent
 attempt to make two digital systems stretch to create an analog illusion,
 but it didn't make it.

 There's two phones, Nexus 4 and Nexus One, where we've actually tried
 to run WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time and had problems.

 So, where's the list of phones that you've tested where WiFi and
 Bluetooth operated simultaneously with no problems?

 After looking at the FixYa report I posted earlier

 http://blog.fixya.com/pr/feb2013/smartphone-manufacturer-report.html
 .. it made me wonder what the relationship between the Samsung
 Nexus and LG Nexus is?

 The report felt it important to distinguish between the Galaxy
 line and the Nexus line.
