plus I couldn't simply send videos from my Android phone (without going through the BS of manually compressing them) so my data plan went through the roof.

I don't get that one. Last I checked the iPhone 5 records 1080p30 just the same. And an iPhone 4 is retarded, recording at some crazy bit rate (20+ Mbps for that shit camera). Videos now shouldn't be bigger, so nothing should be different data wise?



Don't get me wrong, if you wanna go back to an iPhone for some reason I fully understand, it's just that these 2 "issues" I don't understand.

Ah see, that explains it Wink

iMessage never took off here, not even amongst Apple users so dunno. I've not used it even once on my iPad.

With an iPhone you pick a video, attach it, hit send and put the phone back in your pocket. It automatically compresses the file very quickly.

Hmm I find that doubtful, surely it doesn't do the transcode *on* your phone, that would be quite a battery drain Laughing

Can't help you there, no idea how iOS goes about that, I've never bothered recording any video on my iPad! Perhaps Leo does though, sounds interesting. I personally don't send videos over 3G anyway, I use WiFi for that.

Quote:
Also; I'm not sure where the fault here belongs, but I could get my Exchange emails through every email app I tried but Aquamail... which was a shame because I would have otherwise used that.

That depends on your Exchange provider's setup.

Aquamail does support it now, but obviously the developer doesn't have the ActiveSync license, so he had to resort to using EWS (Exchange Web Services). That SHOULD not be an issue with 90% of all Exchange implementations, but some IT admins fuck with that and screw it up.

Is the Exchange account you were trying to use an Outlook/365 account by any chance? Because I think for EWS you need a different endpoint then.

Nope. I've never had an iPhone myself and fuck recording with an iPad - looks stupid and the iPad (3, btw) camera isn't particularly great Laughing

2:05 onwards

You can select ~30 seconds (last I used it, duration could be longer now) of video and it will compress it (9 times out of 10 my videos aren't that long anyway). If you open the compressed version on a desktop it's noticeably worse, but it gets the job done for mobile use

Hmm interesting, so basically they just run a really quick, but equally terrible algorithm on it? Razz

I wonder if that's not possible in Android tbh, like I said, I never send emails over 3G so I've never really given a fuck about the size. I'll have a play later Very Happy

There's such a thing called Trillian which supports most kinds of chat programs but of course, it doesn't work with Apple crap Laughing That's the problem - people are idiots and fall for Apple's proprietary crap. BUT, what's wrong with sending emails anyway to iPhone users instead of messages? It's not quite as convenient but it works and is free.

About the second problem: there's loads of Android apps for recording vids and I'm sure there's some that do compression with ease. I know it's not quite as easy but lord, who has the habit of mailing vids around anyway? There's a gazillion things Android has that iPhone hasn't that is far more common and useful anyway. Little stuff like setting the volume of calls which apparently, is too tough for Apple to program.

So, Android KitKat 4.4.3 is out Very Happy

I didn't waste anytime and it's already installed on my N5. Did a dirty install, only wiping cache/dalvik-cache before flashing the ROM, then radio. Working great so far after a few hours, it even feels a bit snappier (could be placebo as usual).

Full changelog (huge thing) :

https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KOT49H-KTU84L.html

Most noticeable are:

- Redesigned Dialer App, which is looking very slick!
- Improvements to the N5 camera, which according to some feedback from power users is now faster in autofocus, among other things.
- Improvements to Wi-Fi performance.

But the update files are not out yet or?
Was looking yesterday on some sites, and only the full version seemed available. Means it will delete everything when flashing?

(and i am rooted, so no OTA update Embarassed )

Nope, if you don't explicitly wipe your data partition (or modify your bootloader) you won't lose any of your apps, settings, contacts, etc Wink

The 4.4.3 update includes the system files and updated system apps, new kernel and a new radio (normally flashed separately after the rom).

Depending on the pre-packaged 4.4.3. rom you choose you might need to root the phone again (install/flash Super-SU).

Android KitKat 4.4.4 released (only Nexus devices for now).

Changelog here:

https://funkyandroid.com/aosp-KTU84M-KTU84P.html

Mostly a security update related to the recently discovered SSL exploits.

Just like with 4.4.3, only System and Radio updated. Bootloader remains unchanged.

First:
WTF, why is the last post here from June?!

Second:
I am using the Cataclysm ROM (Android 5.0) and the Code-Blue Kernel since nearly two weeks.
The ROM is still AOSP but with more and more features getting added slowly (thanks Lollipop). It's very stable, as it's declared by the dev as a daily-driver ROM.
And the Kernel does wonders to the battery life. Pure Standby is about 8-10 days now, while turning the phone regulary to just see the time or if new message arrived. When using it, i had about 4h display-on time. Looking at the percentage still left and the info showing remaining power, it would probably go up to 7h!! I also don't notice any worse performance.

THANKS FOR READING, MAYBE YOU WILL CONSIDER ONE OR BOTH!

Both Rom and Kernel seem to be pretty good but I'm not willing to sacrifice extensive customization thanks to Xposed for a slightly higher battery time

My cousin had a similar problem with his Nexus 4 and it was the custom keyboard app he was using (SwiftKey I think). He removed it and problem gone.

I don't know if that's your case though.

Thanks for the heads up 4treyu Very Happy
Too bad Android 5 is still a failure userinterface wise, IMO
For example i still am not able to add the email-account of my university to ANY email app i tried so far. Always getting some connection or authentification error

I liked it from day 1, especially the notification improvements (notifications are my day-to-day) I just thought it still wasn't worth ditching the shitload of features you get by using Xposed, but now of course that has changed Smile

About that problem with the e-mail account, did you try to add it in the Gmail app? Also what type of account is it? POP3? IMAP? Exchange?.

Yea i tried it with the Gmail app too, same error. It's an IMAP account. The error is about some handshake failing when trying to authorize. I already googled about it, and seems it's only a problem with Android 5, as Google is forcing some newer technology for the email. But my university still seems to use an older variant for authorization. But well
