Q and iPhone - Fossil Q Founder

I'm looking at getting the Marshal, and was wondering if there is any way to load apps and faces from my computer with the adb or another way? I know that the iPhone won't do much so, I am trying to see if I can side load or something similar? I would like to get the watch now and hopefully AW 2 makes things better for iOS users.

[Q] Anyone familiar with Livescribe smart pen??

Let me start by saying I received my gtab on Saturday and all I can say is WOW!!! I love this device. My question (and forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum) is I was wondering if it would be at all possible to sync my livescribe smartpen to the gtab. The pen has a usb cradle and a desktop application that I have loaded onto my laptop. This would make my life so much better if I could only have to carry my gtab to school everyday instead of my laptop I was wondering if anyone out there has the pen or even knows what I 'm talking about. I would be willing to pay someone if they could make this happen.

I have one, they can hold quite a bit of information so I don't see why you need to carry your laptop. Can you please clarify what you are doing?
I love both the gTab and my Pulse Pen, and while there is not as of yet a way to directly sync the two devices, Livescribe desktop does allow you to upload directly to Evernote, and there is of course the Evernote client for Android.
this is how I do it every day.
I was talking about running the livescribe desktop on my gtab. The audio isn't that good out of the pen
Quick answer is no.

[Q] Few Questions about the Galaxy S II...

Hey there, I'm pretty new here. (first post ) And I got a few questions about the Galaxy S II.
So I'm thinking about getting one, or actually I am deciding between this or the iPhone 4.
Well I know the Galaxy S II beats the iPhone 4 in nearly every point, except for resolution of the display, but i think its good enough.
I currently am an iPhone user, and I do love all Apple Stuff, call me fanboy.. BUT! I think I'm not dumb
I dont want to be blind and go out and just buy an iPhone, because I know there are better phones out there. Well the iPhone 4 came last year and all this stuff is developing pretty fast, but nevertheless I do like the iPhone. So my decision will be made after I got to know, what I didn't get about the Galaxy S II.
1. When the phone is locked, and you press the Home Button, does this really, completely unlock the phone, without the need to do an unlock, like sliding the picture away, or doing some gestures? I saw this in a review, and thought, this is not good
2. Some users here in the forums were posting things like, their phones getting hot, or that its lagging while browsing through the homescreens sometimes.. and i was like: ?! how can such a beast of phone even think about lagging?!^^^'
So have you had problems using it, like overheating or lagging?
3. I really do like the iPhone's taskswitcher. And I think that the one coming with touchwiz is the only one (as far as i know) that does something similar..
So can you access the taskswitcher in EVERY app by longpressing the home button?
4. I actually do like, that every app must be confirmed by apple before entering the app store. so there are no apps that crash or stuff like that.. i know that most android fans love that android is an open platform. but when i'm reading reviews of apps in the marketplace, most stuff i read is: bad, forces restart, crashes... stuff like that.. most of all the facebook app, this would be something i really need, but i don't want it to be buggy and crashing all the time..
I can't belief, that Android is getting so famous when the apps are as bad as they are said to be in the market...
So are the apps you are using reliable? Or do they crash and stuff..?
I don't want to be offensive or what, but i won't get this on contract. I'll have to pay something like 600€ for it and i dont want to do this if i'm not 100% sure.
Thanks
Sorry for so much text

Not until its customised in the future its swipe to unlock screen .

No lag at all

95% reliable and most are updated frequently and MANY ARE FREE
Really its a move from a closed but carefully controlled environment where you do what Apple wants you to do and Flash is bad for you .
To a more open environment where you are far more free and not as tightly controlled .
Plus of Apple is that for many it is tightly locked down a child can use IPhone as its all simple .Thats actually a plus point as well as a negative point .
For me its a simple choice IPhone top class phone but compared to SGS1 dont mind the SGS 2 it is vastly overpriced . I want music in my format not Steve's etc . Apps got all the apps i want and none that i know of from Apple i am missing .So a simple choice but somebody else may well be willing to pay the premium .
Some IPhone user do find it hard to adapt to a different method of working .

Well thanks for the fast answer!
I think i get what you meant with: "Plus of Apple is that for many it is tightly locked down a child can use IPhone as its all simple .Thats actually a plus point as well as a negative point ."
And thats one of the points, that may keep me from buying an iPhone. Because if i get the new iphone theres nothing really new. well its faster and got a better cam but its still the os im using already, which is not bad at all, but its nothing new and its sooooooo easy^^^' nearly boring
Don't want to call me dev, but besides writing apps, i like to get most out of a device, psp, ds, iphone... on iphone there are posiblities but i think android got better ones.
still gotta make up my mind a little, maybe wait what iOS 5 will look like, seriously apple has to catch up a little . SGS 2 launches May 27nd here and iOS 5 Event is on June 6th. Think i'll be able to wait a few days, but probably they wont get to where android is right now.
Good to hear, that theres no lag and apps are not that bad. Actually all the answers are good
thanks alot!

[Q] imessage-like app for android?

I did do some research but all imessage topics I found were really old.
So I have a couple of questions. Since my phone died last week, I had to resort back to my iphone 4 (I went from iphone to LGOG). So I was wondering if there an app that will allow me to text an iphone/osx user such as imessage does where they can receive on both devices and then respond to either one. Preferably, it would be my end doing all the work (android) and they (iphone/mac) don't have to do anything, but if there is a little work involved that would be okay. They aren't very technical so don't want to confuse them with complex instructions, just magic. I never realized people actually text through their computer, but since I went back to the iphone I've gotten a lot more responses because people are too lazy to go grab their phone if they leave it across the room.
Also, is there an app that will allow group chats on android, again without needing anyone else to install anything. Whenever I receive a group text on my android it would be separate conversations to each person so i would have to respond individually to each person whereas with the iphone it's just one message and sent to everyone and it's all streamlined very nicely.
If I didn't explain anything well enough just let me know and i'll try to better explain. Also I will be rooting and unlocking my phone, and I'm good for paid or free ways of getting things done.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Dude! You gotta understand the competition between iOS and android? How could android have such An app? I wish they do too but they don't. You can try other cool apps like viber,whatapp etc

If I remember right, I think Handcent has an experimental group message feature. Could be long past the experimental phase, could have been a different app. As for texting to a Mac, I can't think of anything

I know there is competition.But I don't like being tied to iOS as much as I don't like being tied to android or some other OS. I am a believer in that all the OSes should just work together somehow (perhaps with some fairy dust?) and just be amazing like that. I get that won't ever happen, but sadly I have 0 coding abilities. I was really hoping someone would have figured out a way to defeat the imessage authentications or whatever is stopping android from joining in the fun.

Okay thanks, I'll have to look into handcent. I'm surprised it wasn't a native feature. Is it that uncommon to want a group chat to be it's own thread? And yea...I figured texting to a mac would be a long shot, but thinking about it, I figure something like skype or googlechat would work so might just have to go that route.
Yeah I'm sure any IM client would work just fine for what you need, I didn't even think about that one.

Don't you think if android should develop something like that,The hating Apple might end up sueing it? I think they will,Android knows it boundries that's why,and I think its still fun with android even without any app like that.

I use Facebook messenger and Skype to reach people on either computers or phones. Don't have much use for a group messaging feature, so I don't know what's out there on that front.

Very specific questions about fonts, and Microsoft Word

I'm very interested in purchasing a Tab S7+ to use as a laptop replacement. I'll still have a Windows laptop for when I need adb, or just need to run specific software, but I'd like for the Tab S7+ to become my workhorse typing machine.
I'm a teacher that runs and operates a tutoring business, so I am literally typing for a good chunk of the day. I use Microsoft Word full time and am fully invested in it. One very specific thing I do is use a font that isn't default to Windows. I downloaded it and use it as a part of my default template for Word, and I use it across all my lessons, letters, and everything that's associated with my business. I'm a bit anal about it, but I like the uniformity. It's a normal font that can be downloaded easily and loaded on to Windows, so it's nothing special.
One thing that I am worried about is the inability to use the aforementioned font on the Tab S7+. Can we use non-default fonts on the S7+? I don't want it to be present across the entire device, but just need it for Word. And even if I could install it, could Microsoft Word use it?
Lastly, while on DeX mode, is the version of Microsoft Word similar to the desktop version? I need things like being able to insert an equation, and specific math-related things.
I asked Samsung's customer service live chat, and they were fairly useless (as expected). Was hoping anyone here that owns one already or will own one soon could educate me. Thank you!

This is not the tool you're looking for.
It will use some custom fonts, but not others. It will do some equations, but is limited.
All day typing is a laptop thing.
Sounds like you're trying to justify a purchase ... it is a very nice tablet b

You're not wrong! I just placed an order for a Mystic Bronze S7+. As it turns out, someone on reddit told me you can't install custom fonts but Microsoft Office does open up documents with the font you're already using so.. I'm not so sure. We'll see though! I might make a YouTube video detailing my experience in case someone else has the same question.
I have decided to use it for drawing and writing with the actual S-Pen than anything else. I can type all day on my actual ThinkPad X1/PC and draw the things I can't actually type (coordinate graphs are a particular pain in the arse) on the Tab S7+. Should also be nice to use the tablet for media consumption since it's relatively lighter. Hard decision to make which finish to go but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to match my upcoming Z Fold 2.

Yes, I'm not regretting my purchase! It has even got me playing a few games. Integration across devices and windows is excellent!
I'll use mine most of the time for presenting talks from and I like to journal and plan days with the pen

Updating my G5 but too 'noob' to do it

Right. I'm sorry to have to post this up but I'm out of options and time.
Before I shell out £500+ on a new premium phone which I normally do every few years I thought I'd try and re use my old phone as I'm now old and hate spending money.
I've replaced some tired parts from my old g5 and it's looking good again.
It's running Android 8.0 which I believe was the last official update for it?
I'd like to get android 10 on it as I'm a big vanilla Google fan and my research led me to lineage18?
Read a few posts, installed ADB/fastboot on my Windows 10 laptop. Got lost, watched some videos, got confused and then frustrated and I'm now at the point where I advertise the phone on eBay and uninstall the stuff on my laptop and just buy a new phone.
The problem is I'm a 40 year old father with 2 babies and **** all time. It takes me ages to get my head round stuff and when I've only got 10 mins before one of them wakes in an evening I'm back to square one and even more pissed off I don't understand it.
Sorry for the sympathy hunting rant, but really would prefer to chuck someone some cash to get this done. The stubbornness in me wants to succeed though. So anyone who wants some £££ speak up. Anyone who can also link up specific instructions would also be appreciated. Remember, I don't understand jargon, abbreviations and I haven't used a pc properly in 5 years and where I was once pretty good at building my own gaming pc I'm now a full time consumer who needs spoon feeding instructions like a toddler (Apple iPhone user) because I'm so impatient.
One video I found which had the most detail in for setting up the install and then putting it on your phone assumed I'd done it before. Which should explain my problem better. I need my hand held, I need to be able to pause and repeat. Don't tell me to "open the command prompt" then move onto the next task because I'll spend 40 minutes googling how to do that. Heck I'd even consider allowing someone to remotely connect to my laptop to do it while I watch.
I hope this post isn't too pathetic, I really like this phone and have had it since it was released, but will understand if it seems too much work.
I really am looking forward to the day my kids are old enough to entertain themselves and I can think straight for more than 5 minutes at a time
Thanks in advance
@theblueflash you don't say which phone exactly you've got.
For H850 you can get unlock codes from LG easily.
I know (and did on three H850) how to unlock the bootloader (kind of BIOS like on PCs).
Without ADB and Fastboot you can't do it so you gotta find someone.
Mine is running now on Android 11.
I attach 2 files which are not up-to-date but describe very good what to do.
There is not more to do exept take a newer TWRP and (if root needed) Magisk instead of SuperSU.
But it will take longer than 5 minutes.
