[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Just wanted to pass this along as I asked the question but no one answered it...

I was one of the people selected to test the 4.1.57 update. I had added several notification sounds to my /system file, as well as changed to the beta version of Swype.

For Swype, I used RootExplorer and changed the names of the stock Swype files to .bak. This allowed me to install the beta version of Swype (that I was also signed up to test previously).

Anyway, I got sick of the update notification popping up on my phone so I just ran the update. I did lose root, as everyone knows. However, the custom sounds I added to the /system folder, and the beta version of Swype, are still there and still work, and had no affect on the update. My version in the About Phone page reads "Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US" so I did get the update successfully.

Yes, it sucks that root is lost (hopefully temporarily) but it is good to know that you can install sounds and Swype and other apps that need root (to install but not to use) prior to updating and they'll still work after.

I'd like to know as well!

[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Guys this totally depends on Sync, not the phone. Depending on which version of Sync you're running will affect whether you can do this. The Sync website has a list of phones that work.
[Captivate General] BudMan1:
I am currently running the latest version of sync gen1 v3.2 .The ATT phones that are listed at Ford site, you can no longer get From ATT,That allow text. I have a Captivate, it is not listed because under bluetooth settings there is no box to enable text.the phones that work have a box to enable text in the bluetooth settings.Like the HTC Phones. So it does matter what phone you have. so my question is there any roms that have text in the blue tooth settings for the captivate?
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
Interested as well, my gf has a newer Ford and would like to see if my phone would work with it on Ford Sync...
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I have an '08 Focus with the latest version on Sync available for it. I have yet to have any phone that will support the text features provided by Sync. But I have had success with apps that will read the texts out loud over the bluetooth. It's also a built in functionality from Froyo itself in the Voice Input and Output settings. Just turn on "Driving Mode".

Hello everybody!

I got a chance to play around with an Xperia Arc (preview version, NOT final) and I've created this short review and comparison of the new features.

[YOUTUBE]tniez0_HlDM&hd=1[/YOUTUBE]
[XPERIA X10 General] eizonuts:
absolutely amazing!
[XPERIA X10 General] Flo95:
Thanks.

You should say that your X10 has JIT. Mine even beats the Arc, I get 34.974 in Linpack, but overall the Arc is faster and smoother.

I'm looking forwad to the 2.3.3 update for our X10s.

Then we can make a fair comparison...
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
I bet you guys 20 bucks that if SE removes the FPS cap in their 2.3.3 update, the X10 will be just as smooth.

Edit-

Nice video by the way! Though it really shows that you're using an early model of the arc since it seems to lag so much, especially when pinching in the homescreens. I've seen it run buttery smooth on other videos.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I've seen tons and it always looked pretty laggy..
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuGjoOSDCCw

1.21 onwards, buttery smooth.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
It's sped up, why? If it was so smooth, show it at regular speed
[XPERIA X10 General] ooidort:
Umm, sped up? :confused: No it isn't. Had to actually check if I had linked the wrong video, but no. What makes you think it's sped up?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Hmm I watched it on my phone but it looked it to me.. Il watch again on my computer when I'm home.
[XPERIA X10 General] GPdhillon:
I think I'll be sticking X10 for another year now that 2.3 coming out. I wait quad core processors before upgrade :)

[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Hey BluechipJ,

Nice video. Do you still have the Arc? Could you run the Neocore benchmark? I think a lot of us want to see if that 32fps is lifted or not. Hopefully we get like 50+ fps =)
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
yeah and there is definitely some lag there... Just a couple times though, for the most part very smooth. Much better than prior vids I've seen. Hopefully our official 2.3 will be that smooth
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
The guy made an effort to compare his X10 to an Arc, and you decide to argue again :p Come on!!

Most of the videos available have the uncompleted 2.3 similar to the one showed in the first video, that's why you saw many lags. However, the polished product will be smoother and better, it's always smoother.

Of course you'll have lag here and there once or twice, especially if you're running something for the first time while it caching...

I think we are two steps away from having lag-free android OS. Even Honeycomb has some lags from what I tested

Edit: Look at the Japanese version "SO-01C", you'll notice it's much smoother than most of the videos you watched since it's polished and finalized ( released already )

Link1 Though the guy who is testing seems clueless and first time to use Arc

Link2
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I'm not arguing at all...

Just want to see an unbiased video in action, and the second vid he posted was just that.

I don't see how being a smart consumer is considered argumentative.. I'm actually quite happy with SE since they announced 2.3 for x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
I wasn't talking about being smart consumer or not, or even whether to attack or defend anything... I just replied to your post about seeing videos with lags, and wanted to make it clear that lags you saw were due to the incomplete OS that the Arc had...

That's all :cool:
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Why the hell would they switch the back and settings buttons?! That will be so annoying trying to get used to if you switch to the arc! Dumb move!! :mad:

I was one of those that said it was laggy with the first firmware versions, but now the ARC is very smooth, i think you haven't seen a lot of the newest videos, and these aren't sped up, because you can hear the voice and the ambient sound:

[LG Optimus 3D] dutchtrance:
Thats the question: will Lg release the optimus 3d in time?

Is there a time limit for it to be released?

Well before the HTC 3D phone, no there was not, the speed and 3d feature meant Lg could take their time, but now there is the HTC3D.

This phone has the HTC sense software (which i was impressed with on my mates HTC phone, inc the online storage software) and a better screen (qhd). Whilst the Lg is reputedly more powerfull, the end user, and in this case me as well, is not overly concerned with this, a dual core with HDMI out is a Dual core with HDMI where most apps are concerned.

So to go back to the question, will Lg release the phone in time or will its sales be canibalised by the HTC 3D which has many features buyer can tangebly see and want.
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
No further delays have been announced, since the last one that delayed it one month from may to june.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Anyone else here using Google Voice? And I don't just mean for the voicemail part. I just set up a number online with them and I'm considering dropping my unlimited SMS with VZW and using the Google voice SMS instead.

I'm just curious to see if anyone else has tried this? The number I got is the same last four as my current one, but the prefix is different, so that's not too bad. I figure I could drop my bill almost $30 by no longer using VZW's SMS service.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrillerbee:
This is one of the first reasons why Android interested me. I've never paid for txt messages & never will.

Limitations:

1. You can't send an email-to-txt to a GV number

2. You can't receive MMS

3. You can't send txts to short numbers (like "Text REDCROSS to 90999")

Unless those features are worth $360/year, I think it's an easy decision...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Been using GV as my primary number for over a year now. My most recent VZW bill shows 0 text usage even though any of my friends would tell you that we exchange tons of texts :D

The biggest shortcoming is the lack of MMS support. If your friends aren't in the habit of sending you picture messages though (my circle just uses email), then it's a non-issue.

It's also great that using the Local Google Voice Settings Plugin with Tasker allows me to tweak GV call forwarding on the fly. Call me while I'm at work and you'll hit my desk phone. Call me in the evenings and you'll hit my cell.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Ok everything sounds pretty good to me then, the lack of MMS support is kinda weak though, I do that pretty frequently. I was considering just straight porting my number to them, but then I decided it wouldn't be worth it with my ETF. I'll give it a shot though with email instead of MMS, with Androids and all the options to share media, I'm sure I could live without it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
Afterthought: next question about GV, anyone have a way to integrate the incredible's messaging app with the SMS of GV? Mostly because I like how I have my widgets set up and would like to continue to use them. And secondly because GV isn't the most aesthetically pleasing to me at the moment
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Well, you can choose to have your GV# forward text messages to your cell#. That way you could still use your stock messaging app/widget. The problem with that approach is that people's numbers won't come through looking like their number. Instead, you'll see another number that GV is essentially using as a proxy.

Before I had an Android device, I had my contacts set-up to take this into acct. So Johnny Smith might have phone number 444-555-6767, but when he called or texted my GV#, my phone would show incoming from 999-111-2323. I would store both the regular number and the 'proxy' number into someone's contact.

Your life will be a lot easier if you just use the GV app/widget. I'll take functionality over aesthetics any day, but that's your call.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
But the problem with forwarding the messages to my current carriers number is that it defeats the purpose of dropping the unlimited texting. I'll give it a shot, I future dated the change on my online account to start next billing cycle. Should give everyone enough time to take down my GV number. Thanks for the help guys! Anyone else that has something to add whether they're pros/cons please let me know.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Indeed. But you asked how to use the stock messaging app with Google Voice. That's how.

No stock messaging system is going to integrate with Google Voice while also keeping your text usage at 0. Your phone doesn't 'think' it's receiving SMS. An SMS app isn't going to 'see' the GV text (unless you have it set to forward to your existing #)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refthemc:
I was actually thinking about this the other day....interesting responses, thanks guys
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
One thing great that has gone unmentioned is the browser accessibility of google voice....phone issues? Can text anywhere you can get internet via browser. I've used that a fair amount. The way the number can be routed to other phones is always a useful thing as well. I like not being attached to my physical phone numbers anymore.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersobbie:
I just got a google voice account the other day. I am still trying to figure out if I like it. So far it is pretty good. The voice to text is not that accurate yet but I hear that it improves over time. I have not given it out to people yet so not sure how it will work once I do that.

Thanks for the info...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2faroffroad:
I use GV as a business line. Complete with a business VM message. I love the fact u can screen the VM live then chime in if u wana talk. MMS is the only reason I will not use ot as a vzw replacement #.... Other wise I use it daily.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2faroffroad:
So if I have fowared on, will the phone company still charge for the txt message from my GV?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
that's correct, you will be charged if you have texts forwarded to your carrier phone #. Think of the google voice app on phone as a chat interface that is linked to a phone #. I have also thought as mentioned it's not the prettiest app...but there are some themed versions out there to be sure.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Yes. If you have forwarding on, your phone treats it the same as receiving a regular text, since Google is forwarding a regular text to your Verizon phone #
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsupersonic:
I just use it to see how transcribing works. It is funny on many people but it usually gets the numbers right, which is awesome
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spatton:
I am with you 100% on the transcription - it is hilarious. It has no idea in the world what my wife is saying - 1 in 10 words right, I would guess! I only keep it on for the entertainment value.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
So far I'm pretty happy with it. It does have those neat screening features for incoming calls. One weird thing I got was a voicemail recording of the phone ringing and my mom picking up and going "hello? hello?" Hopefully bugs like that don't happen too often. The one thing I will miss is the MMS ability, but hey, I have a Droid Incredible, there are many ways around that.

As for the themed versions of GV, can you point me in the right direction? I'd like like to see what I can find. Thanks again for all the responses, definitely made the decision a lot easier for me.

The best part of GV thus far is that I dropped my bill almost $30 a month. Sprint can suck it with there $69 simply everything plan....mine is Simply Unlimited Everything for $55 a month.

EDIT: Nevermind I found some solid looking themed GV inboxes. Thanks again everyone for responding!

I have a omnia 7 which was on T-Mobile UK but it's unlocked and I'm using it in Pakistan. Just wanted to know if a phone like that is eligible to be updates or do I need to be on T-mobile?
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
I don't understand your question.....

But Ill try----chances are you'll update faster if its unbranded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
what i mean is, the phone is originally from T-Mobile UK and it was locked on that carrier. I got it unlocked so I can use it all the way over here in Pakistan. The phone still has a T-Mobile logo show up during start up.

So my question is: if I have a phone thats on T-mobile UK and is unlocked, and its being used in Pakistan, will I get the update? Considering I'm no longer on T-Mobile
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Your phone is now carrier-unlocked. By all accounts, you should get the update before people who are locked to T-Mobile UK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
its carrier unlocked despite the fact that it still shows a t-mobile logo on startup?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
Its still Carrier branded so most probably you will get the update along with the TMO UK users. Although you can still unbrand it using the registry edits posted on this forum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Unbranding doesn't remove the startup logo.

I unbranded my Focus to get the pre-update, but it still showed the AT&T logo when it booted before I re-branded it.

I like the news feature which includes recaps of the tv shows nice

I wish instead of today and next week I could get a individual day of the week break down ex.

MONDAY

Being Human 9PM

Celebrity Apprentic

Rupaul Dragrace

TUESDAY

the Office

WED

Modern Family

Glee

THURSDAY

That way the shows would be visually easy to scan through.

Hello !

TVShow is a victim of its success and I exceeded my upload quota of my push server. So that's why I submitted a version 1.3 on Sunday with my new servers inside (logically it should arrive tomorrow), so do not worry, the push will come back tomorrow with the 1.3.

For the list, still good news, I just implement it in 1.4, it will be possible to fully customize the application : wallpapers by tv shows, but also the display of the list.

Two modes:

- today, tomorrow, this weekend, next week (current)

- Monday, Thurday, wenesday, etc. ... (your request)

TVShows is your application, I try to add up the features you ask me. So ask!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] rudyhuyn:
Unfortunately there is no cooperation, they just pumped the design of TVShow instead to keep their current design.

Their current version does not look like TVShow, but if you watch their videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs4ULdkcxgg), all features that highlight is copied from mine ... It's an honor, but I appreciated that they invent rather than copy.

And a gift for sayonical : I will add SpoilerTV rss in the next version ;)

Even here we can have doubts :
