@ george232

You have no idea what you're talking about and just spouting pure nonsense. Talk once you have either device.

I have both devices (and a desire z and a milestone and an sgs) and there is no day that i'd take the arc over the o2x.

The o2x reboots are the fault of the people who installed battery juice type apps on their o2x The leaking backlight are specific to some units and many have gotten replacements. I never had either issue with mine.

You want battery drain? I left my arc on the table for a couple of hours yesterday and when I got back, it had just 43% left even thought it was 98% before that. Sure, the o2x doesn't have superlative battery life but it is more than adequate and certainly not too shabby compared to the arc.

If I regret getting one of the devices, it's the arc. I should have waited for the sgsII. The more I use it, the more it occurs to me that arc is a phone for the masses and really won't have much going for it once dual core devices flood the markets.

I mean, who even ships a phone with 512mb of disk space (of which only about 270 is available out of the box) these days? Also, the so-called reality display is washed-out as hell. By all means, if washed out displays are your cup of tea, the arc is your holy grail.

Moreover, why are you even bothering with xda when anyone with a pulse here knows paul o'brien has created a custom rom for the o2x that not only resolves the lag issues but allows the o2x to clock 3,100 on quadrant. Besides, anandtech ran tests with the o2x and it fared better in the majority of tests compared with the sgsII.

Next time, before you start typing, do a little better research rather than just reading reviews from apple fanboy sites like engadget and bgr. Same goes for all of you. Speak only when you've actually used both devices extensively.

Let try and keep this thread on topic. It looks like its about to start getting out of hand.
[Xperia Arc General] mariosx:
anyone else has both and wants to comment?

would be really useful for someone (me :D) who's trying to decide which to get...
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
pollpix has both..

[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Yep, i have both, what is your question?

Arc looks better, after getting rid of the junkapps quite fast, colors are better, more natural and after a while I hit two full days with one charge...

Lg is fast like hell, and there are some good roms available here at xda.

Still I am using the arc most of the time, I am a graphic designer and photographer for my living and I prefer good looking over brute power. So in the end its personal....

If you have questions, please ask...

Can I have your Optimus 2X? :p
[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:
god knows what you had running on your arc but that is far from the usual. I can run gps apps for a few hours and only lose 20-30%

Its obvious you prefer the O2x but its not really fair to those needing to make a decision between them if you giving comparisons like that....
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
lol... If you wire enough cash to my account its yours...:D

Don't mistake, I really think the 2x is a beast, and there are far more things over here to play with. Atm its to quite in the Dev section here at the arc.

[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
I just have no time to digest all your input above. But at leat what you mentioned about the battery time is completely sh*t. Let me tell you how my battery performed from yesterday morning:

42% left after 25 hrs and 38 mins, 3G on and BT on all the time

display 1 hr and 57 min, 30% ( including about 45 min web surfing)

phone call 48 min. 29%

standy by 14%

idle 13%

BT 6%

...

Before barking to others, please check out what is going on with your phone first. It's fine that you dislike SE. Go ahead with your choices. Stop distorting SE here! What you have done would only make us look down upon you.

[Xperia Arc General] doministry:
Well I have my Arc for 1,5 months.

The battery life is not great in a way it is bad on any smartphone....

Considering batt usage while doing something is totally fine.

The only thing which is **** is it's idle usage sometimes. Just too much.

But I would never say it's **** in general.
[Xperia Arc General] Ptvinh:
I have Arc for 1 month now, the more I use the more I love it. Battery is fine. It can take me through the day with heavy usage

- 1hr talk time

- 2 hr surfing and wifi

- exchange on push mode

- 3G on all the time

- imo running all time

- 30 min chating

- 1 hr music...

I think that is all you can squeez out of the battery with 4.2 in screen.

[Xperia Arc General] flemminghave:
As far as the battery goes I have had the arc for 2 weeks now, and it runs 2 days with all apps on auto update and WiFi on for approximately 8 hours a day.

The first day I got between 6-8 hours before it died.

Speed is quite good, I have around 60 apps installed, 100mb free space and the phone is still running smooth. :-)

I cannot compare it to the 2x but I don't need the extra speed.;-)

Try turning locationbservice offin setting, reboot, turning it back on, reboot, and see if it works then.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] aghnokneemoose:
I have a similar issue. It finds my location ok most of the time, but loses connection often. Yesterday I was using the App Drive On to directions to my destination and while I was on the Highway traveling 75 MPH, the app was showing me going 30 MPH. While I was at a red light, it was showing me going 15MPH.

Today I was riding my bike and using runkeeper to track me my calories burned, however, it lost me several times and it was doing the same speed difference. I was biking 17 MPH, but the app had me as traveling 4.3 MPH. This particular app worked fine in past days.

What is different from yesterday and today other than I rebooted this morning. I didn't install anything or change any settings.

Now I recall one more difference in WP7 performance today while riding my bike. That is bluetooth. I use a motorola stereo headset everyday while riding to listen to my music. Today it had horrible reception. I normally keep the phone in my pocket without any interruption at all, but today I had to hold it in my hand and still had a lot of interruption and while in my pocket virtually no music thru headset.

It's like the signal strength for bluetooth and gps has been altered or reduced randomly. Some days are good and some are bad.

Anyone have the same problems or solution?

Cheers!

Hello everyone! My name is Brian. I have a samsung gt-s5250 lite wave with Bada. I wanted to know if anyone was able to put Android on this smartphone!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmayo01:
Hey guys,

asked this question in the wrong section so I'm asking it here.

Is it possible to extract an old nandroid backup to view memos I may have had?

I don't want to restore the backup, I know something in it is wrong as it would freeze on bootup after I tried a restore, that isn't important. What is important is there were memos stored on that backup that I need back.

I used unyaffs to extract system.img, but everytime I try and extract data.img (which is where I'm guessing the memos are stored) I get a popup in windows 7x64 that says unyaffs.exe has stopped working.

I copied data.img off my sdcard and am trying to extract through windows terminal.

Can someone tell me if I am correct in thinking the memos would be stored in the data.img and where they might be located and why I am unable to extract data.img?

Thanks in advance!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] keimadix:
sorry my English (google translator)

I have a problem on my a5 (ZTE Blade), had the trial version of VPLAYER working well, just when the days of experience uninstalled and then buy the full version, but to buy the full version I have installed the trial and here's my problem started, I can not reinstall the trial version and have experienced several versions.

the original rom is 2.1 and have installed a new android to 2.2 and continues to give the same error "application not installed".

I was watching the log and gives this error:

E / PackageManager (239): Package me.abito.vplayer has mismatched uid: 10077 on disk, 10084 in setting.

I have the recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-blade installed and it has fix_permissions and run it, then I reinstall VPLAYER and not installed, "Application not installed" and log the error remains the same.

How can I solve this problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] keimadix:
any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manlisten:
Hi, I noticed that the trial version for this app was missing from the market a few days ago, that might have caused the problem you experienced. It is now showing up in the market so you should try installing it again.

is the any way to eliminate the dialer.apk so that my 4 year old doesn't call 911 again with out the force close loop when i uninstall it

thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjayman:
Did you ever consider waiting another decade to give it to him/ her ?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
wait..let me get this straight, so you want to have a phone that doesn't have phone calling capabilities? :confused:

Put a lockscreen on the phone to stop him/her from accessing the dialer. Or keep it out of reach when it's not on you.

Then, most importantly, explain why dialing 911 when not an emergency is very wrong. Then take desert away for say.. a week and a half to get the point across.. and so on.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey1230:
she like to play the games and use the wifi to look at you tube and this is an extra phone it does not have service. yes i know she is spoiled rotten but you have to train them young so one day she will be smarter than i am.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Ah, I understand now ;) I thought it was in service which is why I was confused about not allowing any calls out/in.

Well I have a few ideas:

Download titanium backup and "freeze' the dialer application - should allow the phone(device) to run properly while disabling calls.

You could try uninstalling again and wipe cache/davlik in the recovery menu after - this might help eliminate the FC's
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey1230:
freezing the dialer worked like a champ thanks:D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
You bring up an excellent point. With the new dual core coming out, most of us will make the switch. I wonder if there is a ROM out there that transforms our phone into just a multimedia device?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkey1230:
thats what im going for. when i get some time im gonna take a crack at rewriting the rom for just multimedia.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Sounds like a good idea. Personally, I don't have so much media that I can't bring it from phone to phone, around 2 gigs of music, 30 or so videos, and about 150 pictures, so having a dedicated device just for my media is a waste of pocket space for me. With that said, once I get my 3d or whatever, I'd imagine that my Hero will be converted into a game player for my kids. That is, if I can't sell it to someone. :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSlack:
You can just put it in airplane mode and turn on wifi,right? Or does that somehow leave you with 911 access?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldjackbob:
No, airplane mode completely disables the phone radio.

it does disable it but i guess i have taught her well cause she managed to turn airplane mode off
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fowenati:
Titanium backup, force uninstall. Not sure why that would cause FC problems. Or try freezing it with TI backup. You could also get launcher pro, and hide the Icon and change the stock dock from launcher pro.

Just watched a video of a CPS2 emu running Marvel vs Capcom on the Play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V29sb73bhKI

[Xperia Play General] matknny:
You will not be able to pick up n64oid as it has been taken off the market to work better. Developer put it up on his twitter I think I remember reading.

There is a dreamcast emulator in development but it may be past the capacity of the Xperia Play.

what is yongzh's twitter?

DrkRaziel (the dreamcast dev) current target device is a galaxy S, the xperia play is comparable to a galaxy s in performance.... check his blog

hopefully something drop from him soon, according to the video nulldc is in an alpha state.

Version 1.1.4.

And you can get any of the emulator's I have from other source's hint Google search engine is your friend.

Doesn't the xperia play come with its own ps1 emulator?

I heard that there are official ps1 games in the market.

Also if it has its own ps1 emulator does it play ALL ps1 games?
[Xperia Play General] Zub7:
yes there is an app or function to play ps1 games already on the phone but SE are using some wierd setup/format for their games to run with it, i've checked crash bandicoot files already, never seen the format before. so its not a case of drag and drop your old ps1 classic ISOs on the mem card and be done with.

try FPse for ps1 emulation. not as good or compatible with all games like the official playstation pocket app is, but until someone finds out a way to port games from ISOs to the format SE are using, its our only option.

New to Droid.

Hey guys, I'm sitting here with a brand new Xperia Play and I just converted from iPhone. I'm a rather experienced jailbreaker and have been on the iPhone train since the first model. I'm feeling so lost on Droid that I just barrely managed to change the wallpaper, haha, just so u know what kind of situation I'm in.

So, I downloaded a couple of emulators but I can't seem to get them to run games.

I figure this is because my device isn't rooted?

If that's the case, can someone give me a dummie guide on how to root the xperia play? I'm on gingerbread 2.3.2. Thx. :)
[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
At the moment, there's no way to root the Xperia play. However, you will most likely not need root for anything you want to do, as this is Android and not iOS. :P Root on Android is usually used to install custom roms, themes, to overclock the device or tune CPU settings and the like. Everything else, like emulators, works right out of the door.

Every emulator works differently, some of them require a bios rom. You'll have to look around to find out how to get them.

since the roms themselves don't require serial numbers, i guess you want a blackstone serial number to enter on the htc site, in case your device was branded differently and can't access their shipped roms. in case nobody posts their number, you can always download roms from the wiki shipped rom archive or shipped-roms.com or if you know the full name of your desired rom, just google it to find more mirrors

Welcome!

When I was rooting my phone, it had froyo 2.2 . I rooted it by unrevoked. It has hboot 0.92 and I want to unroot...

I was searching google all I found is that I have to downgrade it to 0.8 then unroot? Is it true? Do I have to use goldcard if my phone is unbranded?

And quick question... how to save paid apps from the market after wipe?

Please help me, I searched a lot but couldn't understand much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mosaka:
I don't know the answer to the first half of your question (unrooting).

But regarding purchased apps: I just installed a custom rom and when I logged in market again using my same google account it showed the applications I purchased as "Purchased" and allowed me to download them again. I didn't authorize any payment so I am quite sure I was not charged again for these apps and they are working fine now. However, Proceed at your own risk and don't blame me if you lose your purchased apps. Also it is many times a life saver to do a full rom backup before trying anything funny on your device (I used Rom Manager from the android market for backup)
