Ok dudes!

Why getting the Arc instead of optimus 2x,SGS2...?

Here are the advantages:

-It's already bootloader unlocked (yesterday night) so root,custom roms and custom kernels will come like they did on N1.

-Build quality very close to HTC

-Upgraded screen in size and colors

-Totally usable outdoor under noon sun!

-Upgraded camera to 8mp with Sony's lens

-Upgraded speaker, loud and clear compared to the tiny one on N1

-Upgraded speed and we still don't have MIUI on it...

-Upgraded battery life,I am getting 2x more juice than N1

-Not expensive compared to dual core phones

-HTC has locked the bootloader of Sensation

-Optimus 2x is full of bugs (hardware)

-SGS2 will be very expensive

Yes I don't regret AT ALL to switch from N1 to Arc, and I recommend you to do the same :D
[Nexus One General] itay1:
SE? no thank you.

I'll just wait for the Nexus 3.
[Nexus One General] originlabs:
I received mine yesterday. I have to add that for me at least, the wifi and bluetooth reception is far better on the arc.

Will miss the N1 though....
[Nexus One General] teh_lorax:
Yeah, I'd never buy a SE phone. Yuck. Good luck with it tho.
[Nexus One General] EarthsiegeTA:
I had an SE phone once. Utter crap for build quality.
[Nexus One General] Meltus:
Non dual core means it will be outdated in months. Sorry, but i don't see the point.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
I will get a Sensation once it get rooted but till then I have 2-3 months to have fun with the Arc,perhaps the Sensation will never get root...
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
no dual core means it IS already outdated, not in 2-3 months... lol

if you are going to get a sensation then why get the arc in the first place? sounds like a waste of money side step to me but whatever, it is your money not mine...
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
ive seen a lot of software bug mentions on the 2X review, but what are these hardware bugs you speak of??
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
No dual core alone makes it not a Nexus one replacement and I've never liked the build of SE. Enjoy it if it's your thing...
[Nexus One General] jerichoholic:
you tried selling us on this Arc before and it isnt happening. The hardare is horrible. Lackluster camera. Feels cheap

there are better DUAL core, hell Tegra phones out now for the same price
[Nexus One General] player911:
I dunno. I'm pulling for the Tmobile LG Optimus GX2.

There seems to be several software related issues, I think, mostly revolving around the crappy LG overlay. The TMobile GX2 comes with stock Android. So really all of the issues might be a mute point. Plus with some of the big game developers moving toward it, I can't see this being an issue if it was.

The biggest player in my book is the Tegra 2 and HDMI mirroring. I love playing some emulators (SNES and PSX anyone?) but on a TV will be awesome. I have a bluetooth Wii gamepad that works without a wiimote, so gaming is already fun. It'd be like a mini console. My 24" monitor already has HDMI inputs, so this will be a snap.

Plus 4G and Dual AT&T/Tmobile bands will be super sweet. I have bought an iPad2 3G version so I could jump to an AT&T data sim if I was somewhere where Tmobile signal lacked. Plus with the possible Tmobile buy out, it makes it a little more future proof.

I dunno, I saw the ARC but the lack of Dual core really nullifies the reasoning from upgrading my N1. We all know the N1 has its problems but 99% of them don't affect the normal person at all. It is a perfectly good phone and the Arc just a sidestep like the Nexus S or Galaxy line.

The HTC Sensation, LG G2X, or the Samsung GalaxyS 2 are the really only big contenders in my book. Samsung has the screen, LG has the HDMI out and Tegra 2, and the Sensation has... ?

My 2 cents worth.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Optimus 2x is a failure, even Formel sold it because he said it's crap!

Arc has OS 2.3 out of the box!

As for comments about the camera and build quality of the Arc...it looks you never tried one.

Build quality is exellent, WAY better than cheap plastic of the optimus 2x, all the people who saw it told ''WAW it's a jewel, even better than iphone 4'' :D

As for the camera...not only it's an 8mp instead of the 5mp the N1 has but the difference in colors and details is like night and day :eek:

Beleive me I am a N1 fanboy and made the ''better camera MOD'' for CM7 so I know what I am talking.

Also I still didn't tweak the camera of the Arc as I did with the N1, the minute it will be rooted I will try it (it's unlocked only) so I expect even better photos thanks to reduced jpeg compression.

SE Arc is not a dual core but it's the BEST single core you can get now.

Desire S? Incredible S? even Sensation are not rootable! while the most important thing I loved in N1 is the tons of custom roms it gets.

Paul Modaco is planning to release a custom rom in less than a week for the SE Play and Arc, Cyanogen will follow and later MIUI will be ported too :D

Again all the attacks against the Arc are not based on real user comments, I loved the N1 and I am ready to take the HTC Sensation

if

it will get root because I can't downgrade on phone quality and use a cheapo optimus 2x, the Arc is a perfect phone actually because apart the dual core everything is upgraded compared to N1 and it has a very good quality.

Another proof of SE new will to please us is that they planned to release the unlocking keys website in the coming weeks but they released it a couple of days later only :D
[General Questions and Answers] Enrico3:
Hi,

Today I added my work's exchange account to my CM7 Nexus One.

This was done using the "Corporate" account type in "Accounts & sync".

When adding the account I gave it some administrative permissions it requested, They are: "Erase all data, Set password rules, Monitor screen-unlock attempts, Lock the screen."

I was wondering if there is some way (assuming using some su command/app) to block any attempts to use these actions (mainly erase all data) without blocking the usage of the account..

Thanks.

Hi,

after months with FolioMod i tried the CM7-Mod.

Due to many lags and freezes i wanted to go back to FolioMod but after a clean install with wipe the tablet hangs in a boot loop, the screen blinks every 30 seconds shortly.

Any ideas?

Edit:

Used Clockwork Recovery and everything´s fine.

Use:

fastboot reboot

Then enter in recovery and install update.zip from sdcard.

This works for me

Welcome to the N00b Crushing defence guide.

Things you will need:

To know the rules (Here) - You will not be tested at random

And to use PROPER ENGLISH

Things I don't like:

Spam posts in ROM Dev, IE, Q's

Posting in wrong sections (Unless you ask (In proper English) to have it moved)

Asking for ROM Dev posting permissions from me, or any other Mod to press a magic button and fix it, as we don't have a magic button (Or one that lets you post in ROM Dev :rolleyes:)

Posting a Q without the Q tag (Worse than posting a Q in ROM Dev, or is it :confused::p) - See illustration

Posting in bad English - See illustration

Patience, not everyone is online at the same time

Good luck, and I hope this helps all relevant :rolleyes:

Sensation

Well; I am brand new here, as well as to Android, (in depth) really! Yes; I owned a Samsung Epic on Sprint, and a LG GX2 on T-mobile, but the GX2 will be going back today. I had some issues with the sim which was replaced, then it happened again and I fixed it. It worked good for a day then started it all over again so they ruled it the device itself.

So I will be learning of course, and then on June 8th I will get my HTC Sensation. Even though I have only had the GX2 for about a week I am dreading reactivating my old Verizon (no contract) phone for 27 days!

However I will be watching here as well as several other sources to figure out as well as get accessories and advice for my Sensation during that time. My GX2 also did not work at all with my Square CC reader, and this specific unit had some other issues as well.

I guess I could go all negative (on LG and T-Mobile) but don't see much point in a focus on that. Plus I will get a better ( I know that's a personal outlook device wise really) phone in the long run. I like the sensation better so it worked out better in the long run.

OK enough rambling this is my initial post here so I am just saying "hello world"! :eek:

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] edwin3210:
I installed one of the custom roms (could be cyanogenmod7 beta) for Wildfire 1-2months back, and come across a very handy app/tool, where I can sync contact with my older phone via bluetooth. To do that, i dont even have to select all the contacts from my older phone and send it to my Wildfire. I only have to pair it and connect, select the phone model that im using and press ok, and see it magically sync the contacts over from my Sony Ericsson K610 to my Wildfire.

But the rom wasn't stable, so I restored the original rom back to my phone. I couldnt remember what the app was called, or is it a build in function/tool for stock Android rom? Recently I install the stable version of Cyanogenmod 7 and couldnt find this tool anymore, been searching all around android market and Google too but to no avail. :(

Anyone come across this wonderful bluetooth contact syncing app/tool?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
It's a feature present in the Stock ROM's. It's called Data Transfer (Or simply Transfer, can't remember exactly)

EDIT: Transfer Data, thanks to this YT video. :p

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Tidbits:
opp(object push profile), obex(object exchange) are the two commonly used protocols.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] edwin3210:
THANKS! thats what i was looking for, how come this wasnt bundle with Cyanogenmod 7 :confused:

By the way, where can i get this app?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Its an HTC App, so it wont be bundled with CM.

If you specifically want to use this app, you will have to get a Sense ROM.

Or, you can use one of the many PC Apps which can backup your contacts from your K610 and import them into your Wildfire. (Including the SE Suite which is included on your disc)

EDIT: Someone has posted it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970907

Although it will probably not work with CM7, you can still give it a try.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] edwin3210:
The custom sense ROM i used previously doesn't comes with Transfer Data. probably being removed by the ROM developer. Anyway thanks for the info, the TransferData.apk in the link you posted earlier is not workable, with error message "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES" :(
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
In that case, just use a SAFE RUU. They are untouched Releases, with only the Radio and Updated Bootloader Removed.

Try this one:

Or, you can install WildPuzzle. It definitely has that installed. (Just checked its install ZIP)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventer289:
This has happened to me a few times, but when I was flashing the Savaged-Zen RC2 today, my phone booted to the white HTC Evo 4G splash screen, the screen then went black, it then rebooted to the splash screen again before finally going to the boot animation and loading fully. Why is it doing this? After a successful boot, it never does it again, but all these phones bricking lately has me nervous. It did the same thing last week with Miui. I've noticed no ill effects, but it's done this with Mikfroyo (a few months ago), MIUI, and now Savaged-Zen. Ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamantypants:
We've discussed this before here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1028744&highlight=double+white

I have this problem too but I'm not incredibly concerned about it. It did go away for a minute for me, but it's back. Even after I wiped everything that AmonRa 2.3 would let me and did a completely clean install of CM7. No idea. I really do think it has something to do with flashing Savaged Zen though since I never had a problem with it before I flashed that. I may be a bit crass on placing blame there but that's one thing that we've all had in common.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventer289:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quenting22:
OK well I got out of it somehow.

In case someone else had this same issue, here's how I got out of it :

1) Install ADB.

2) launch Odin

3) go to adb folder in command line and type "adb reboot download" but no enter just yet.

4) plug the usb cable on the phone.

5) type enter in the adb shell in the small window of opportunity you have before the screen goes blank. This reboots the download mode and allows new flashing via odin.

I'm stuck with the same case...:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
Firstly it is not my responsibility if your your phone gets bricked or whatever.

On the lighter side, ive done this on my own phone and im getting a quadrant score of 1900+ :)

OK

1) You need to be rooted to continue so go here if you have'nt already rooted your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987169

you also need to have about 820mb free space

NOTE: do remember to restart your phone once after the rooting is complete

2)you need to get one click lagg fix by Kryptyx from the market

3) After downloading the app open it...it will check for the available options

4)Click on "Install EXT2 tools" and let it install the stuff

Now after the process is complete we need to go back to the options page

5) Now we have to choose ONE CLICK LAGG FIX V1+ (NOT v2.2) otherwise your phone will get corrupted.

let the settings be the default ones(leave them as they are)

Thats it!! Hopefully now you'll have better optimised phone :)

YOU WILL BE DOING IT ON YOUR OWN RISK AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE

feel free to ask any questions as this must be done strictly according to the instrctions

Best of luck :)

Thank me if i helped you ^^!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
frankly useless unless you want to spike your quadrant scores..........sgsl doesnt need a lagfix. :p

and be warned removing the lagfix might be a real headache.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] LukeOII:
thanks for guide :-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
Have you noticed any difference ?

i know there are occasional lags in i9003 does it remove them completely ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
there are no occasional lags unless you open too many apps together & leave them open, in which case the ram usage goes too high & any phone will lag.

I am on DdKb1 no lagfix applied.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
Personally my phone was getting to be a bit sluggish at the homescreen...but after the lagfix there so such kind of lagg!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
Isnt there an option to remove the lagfix in that application?

Plus why would you want to remove the lagfix?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sgsI9003:
I read somewhere here that updating another fw requires lagfix to be removed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ritvik93:
Hmm il try to remove it just for kicks and see if its easily removable!

plus if we flash the same firmware again it will undo thelagfix right? or the update wont be possible?Plus a factory reset would do the trick or not?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ybyb:
I read it in i9000 posts somewhere that lagfix should be removed while flashing else it bricks the phone.

I do see occasional lags if i have a few apps open but i never let my ram usage go over 368mb. is this normal ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
its hard to remove the thing totally.the process leaves traces.i did this quite sometime back. uninstalling the app doesnot help either when you reinstall it it shows you things are still installed.the fix changes the boot animation of the sgsl and even a reset from the recovery mode didnot get the old animation back.all in all i personally donot think the lagfix helped at all except for massive spikes in the quadrant score.i had to reflash to remove it completely mainly because it had some problem with my vplayer app.video playback on vplayer became choppy after the lagfix.

if you want a more zippy ui i would suggest you give a shot at more lightweight launchers.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jit_devil2:
really didnot notice any difference with the lagfix installed.....atleast on realtime performance.never had any lag issues with my sgsl till now(maybe because i use very few widgets) so didnt see any use for the lagfix at all.

but now according to ritvik antutu scores goes up.............so might be something to it.but contradictory to his statement i remember another sgsl user "trip007in" stating he didnot notice any difference in scores while trying antutu with the lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rex4u:
I agree. SGSL has already got few performance tweaks in place and is twice as fast as SGS was when launched. What we need right now are a study in kernel of our device so that we can do some hacking.
