Can you confirm the Skype and android OS version your device is running? Furthermore, even though Microsoft will not come out with a device of its own, it will exercise a lot more control over them. Microsoft sets the minimum requirements and will write all the device drivers, and OEMs are no longer allowed to include custom user interfaces.
This effectively means that the software experience on all Windows Phones will be similar. In other words, Microsoft wants better QA. It will borrow heavily from the Zune HD, and come with a completely revamped Start screen. Apparently, we will be surprised by how far ahead Windows Phone 7 is. The first devices are expected to ship by September Well, no multitasking might not be too bad, seeing as how windows mobile never did get it right in the first place.
Microsoft do like to copy, but in this case what works for Apple is likely to backfire on them. No custom UI? No carrier branding? Over-the-air updating would be good too. Zune software required though? NO way. No frigging way. Gimme MTP support with all of its compatibility too. Skype is a waiting application; if I may.
Unless one is calling out, Skype sit in the background and waits for a call in. Any number of programs could be called waiting applications for the same reason. Something I noticed with the Iphone. One can install and use Skype but only when in the foreground.
My wife will only be available by Skype when expecting a call in so I have to pay to text message or phone before I can use a free phone like connection. This same type of problem will likely exist on Windows phones if they deliver it without multitasking. This sort of problem can be solved.
Multitasking the whole app is just not practical on a mobile device. What Microsoft and Apple too need to do is provide a global event queue that apps can subscribe to.
This way apps do not have to be running in the background at all, they are merely queried in the background when a message comes in and then decide if it wants to load the UI and start fully. The only example I can think of that would be difficult is background media like music players , but again this is just an API problem. It seems to work fine on my Palm Pre.
So, what you are describing is pretty much push notifications. This is almost exactly how they work for the iPhone. Apple Server sits in the middle, app subscribes to push notifications, developers server pushes notifications to the Apple server which then notifies the user.
Apple have not got it completely right, yes, but it does pretty much exactly what you described. The second section of this concept — launching sub process to decide what the message means — why? You simply define a set of push notifications in your app. The notification holds all the salient info for the end user. This either pops up a message or opens the app — depending on what the phone is doing.
Why not spawn another process to handle messages? Because that is costly. You either need to farm out all responsibility to the App or the push service on the phone, else there are too many probable clashes going on.
If you start the app every time a notification arrives, the performance of the phone will dip. What if you have apps that all receive push notifications and they all get a message pushed at the same time?
Who wins? I doubt it is quite right on the iPhone though. One could also argue, the push service running on the handset is completely in the control of the vendor, whereas, spawning a misbehaving app might stall the handset, crash the system or corrupt data. Basically — do exactly what you are attempting to avoid. I think this is better than auto-launching since the user has more control. Well, open up to the bare minimum where Apple allows notices for Google Voice, Skype and other applications that compete with there own offerings on the device.
Apple continues to be more closed though with the most recent being disallowing the mention that an app had been nominated for an award. On my N, I regularly have more than one application.
My Palm T5 had great battery life and the approach at that time was to have everything essentially running. Just look at android. Phones need real multitasking. But trying to do everything with Apple-like push notifications is very limited not really anything like multitasking.
I want an OS where an app can download something and I can make a phone call or surf the web or whatever. Seems to me you want a laptop. Why the hell would you want a torrent client on a phone? Well my next phone will be a Nexus One or more powerful with a data flatrate.
Not everything on torrent networks are illegal to download. Well, a phone is a whole lot smaller and can thus very easily be carried with you wherever you go. Oh, and as phones nowadays have 30Gb storage space, or even more, then why not? If it is just a phone, it only needs to make calls. Even the iPhone is overkill if it is to be just a phone.
The phone as we knew it is dead. These days we carry a connected, personal multifunctional gadget around. One of its functions is communication, be it phone, text, e-mail or social networking. Windows going off multitasking is a huge step back. It brings WinPho a step closer to being only a phone. MS better hurry and develop a micro-NT and use. NET as the environment on top. If not, I see a very bright future for Android based gadgets. The only non-sense here is all the people like you that forget that phones are designed for larger subsets of the population.
I want to run my own custom kernel on my phone and plug in a keyboard and plug in my toy robot and whaa whaa whaa give me what I want!
Because only people who compile their own kernel use file sharing or listen to pandora while surfing or whatever.. You said you wanted an ssh server and a torrent client on your phone. N will allow you to roll your own kernel.. How lucky are you little man? But streaming audio? You can play audio while playing a game or surfing the web. Streaming in the background is supposed to be in the new version:.
True, although my understanding is that only applies to the built-in, first-party audio player FStream is a separate application, it receives AND plays the stream. Maybe someone will port Android to the iPhone hardware one of these days. How about streaming audio and voice navigation? You know, like I do on a regular basis on my Android phone in my car. I suppose if someone else was driving, I could be surfing the web or playing a game too.
It was practical hardware-wise for me three years ago on the Samsung Blackjack. I kept the email client, SMS client, calendar, and web browser all open at the same time. I could for example download an application or stream music while playing a game. Multitasking is practical on my BlackBerry c. The main applications are constantly running and loaded into RAM. It prevents applications from being triggered based on location, time, etc. It also results in the user having to wait for applications to load every time.
This is a problem for some iPhone applications. The problem with multitasking is in the user interface, not the hardware or kernel, at least on WM and BlackBerry devices.
We'll explain how it works: Open the recent apps through the navigation bar or via gestures if you own a Pixel phone On your app of choice, tap the icon above it. If the application can be used in split screen mode, you will see the Open in split screen view option. You can then simply open the second application of choice through the app drawer. You can watch trailers for upcoming movies or listen to music while browsing dinner recipes. If split-screen is not for you, pop up view is also an option.
Use multi-window on Android Nougat or Oreo On version 7. Now you can navigate through the open applications and choose a second app to view. How to use multi-window on Android Marshmallow and earlier versions Unfortunately, not all smartphones have the multi window function with versions earlier than Android Nougat. Multi-window on Samsung smartphones You can still use the multi-window function on some older Samsung smartphones.
Go to Settings. Look for Multi-window. If you have the function, simply activate the corresponding switch to enable it. Once the function is activated in Settings , you will need to add two apps to place next to each other: Press and hold the return key for a few seconds.
A menu will on the right side with the list of supported apps. Drag the first app in the top half of the display. Drag the second app in the lower half of the display. Only some system applications and a few third-party apps are supported. Not all applications work in multi-window mode.
Now it's possible with Multitasking Split Screen. Don't switch between tabs, split your screen and open them all on your desktop. Work in multitasking mode and use your desktop for several tasks at the same time!
