[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The N8 does not have 64 GB storage. I'm pretty sure it's 16 GB + SD Card Slot, just like Galaxy S phones...

Yep, just checked... 16 GB Internal Storage with support for up to 32 GB SD Card.

I used to install all my apps to a Class 2 SD Card in Windows Mobile as well as put all my music and videos on it and never had any issues with performance.

In any case, that's not a factor. SD Cards for for media storage, and you can get a high class card if you need it. As long as the phone has a decent amount of internal storage it's not gonna be a problem

I just rather the phone come with at least 16GB internal so I don't feel like I have to splurge for an expensive big SD Card on top of an already expensive device. Plus, it makes a lot of sense...

With the way WP7 works with SD cards, they're better off putting in a large amount of internal storage. SD Cards are how swappable storage and when you make them unswappable it defeats the purpose of even having the slot - especially when you have to factory reset your phone everytime you want to change it (which means you're need to get the biggest card possible off the bad, or deal with a ridiculous inconvenience later on if you want to upgrade it)...

Also, until Microsoft mandates storage types most manufacturers will continue to use SD cards. It allows them to spend VERY little money putting lots of storage whilst charging consumers a ton of money simply because there is a lot of storage there... SD Cards are ridiculously cheap compared to NAND, but you'd never know in the pricing...

Also, if an SD Card goes bad, the phone is much easier to repair than another with a NAND chip soldered in. It's as easy as opening it up, replacing that card, and factory resetting the device then sending it back... That can potentially lower support costs as well :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Looks like the 64GB N8 was an april fools gag...I fell for it :O

I wish my Focus had 16GB thats for sure. I chose it as it had the best form factor, best screen, and Samsung's Chipset/Memory was also top notch. Why they chose to only put in 8GB is beyond me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 104552:
How can I add widget/shortcuts to sense 3 lockscreen, or is this not possible yet? Flashed sense 3.0 lockscreen from leedroid 3.01 ROM.

Thanks for any help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter9991:
I haven't really received any responses when i asked but i think these are the things you get:

The Ring Unlock

A new music control widget (when music player is active)

A different look when you have an alarm (you have to drag the ring onto snooze or dismiss)

SMS/Missed Call notification

I don't think any customization is possible with the version you can download at the moment (correct me if im wrong)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 104552:
Yeah all that is right. I thought I could customize it to show apps that I could then open straight from the lockscreen. Guess that is coming later on?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter9991:
well that's really the cool feature i was hoping for when installing it. Sadly this is not implemented yet.

I'm not even sure where these Sense 3.0 Rom parts came from. Are they from the leaked Sensation ROM and resized for the DHD? That would mean, that the leaked ROM didn't have the customization feature either (or it's in another file which isn't included in the download for the 3.0 lockscreen).

I'm just rambling here, i don't really know much about these things :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty_ice:
The leaked lockscreen everyone is using in their ROMs is not from the Sensation but rather from the Espresso leak (because the resolution was correct), which doesn't have the feature to add widgets to the lockscreen.

The devs are still working on resizing the Sensation ROM.

Hi all

Very happy with my transformer so far. Glad I waited to buy this. I have been trying to get the zinio application to work. Downloaded the apk files off the xda forum however the application crashes every time I try load. I can get as fa as logging in. Anyone had more success.

The press reader AP was pre installed on the transformer but I can't uninstall it as it says it is a system application. My Asus is not rooted and is running the lastest firmware.

Cheers

I used zinio from g2x and its been working great. Here's the info and download links:

Thanks for that. I was looking around and had no luck. Those new files worked great. I just went straight into the Zinio reader.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markboi13:
Could someone (maybe someone with experience in this) tell me what the actual problem is with the motherboard that causes the CPU to overheat and also (if it gets there) the battery to overheat. This is so I can get it fixed by maybe one of my friends who is good at soldering (if its a soldering problem). Thanks in Advance. and please no stupid comments about how I should just get a new phone or something lyk that because i see that as trolling. and I am doing this because I have tried every solution I have thought of, such as trying different roms
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
Well all i can say is that many people have this issue the motherboards from the x10's are defective from factory i think you can send it back to s.e for replacing the motherboard or buy one yourself and do all the work by yourself :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markboi13:
im out of warranty. Not gunna bother explaining why. Buying a PCB for this phone i found just one ite and it was 159 pounds. Looked for a faulty cheap x10 on ebay, there were none. So I have to fix the PC myself.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
Telling you to get a new phone is not trolling. Starting numerous threads about the same issue and constantly bumping them is tantamount to trolling imho. There is no easy fix - if there was it would be all over there forums (and the rest of the internet). You phone is goosed. Sell it and move on. AND NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER SONY ERICSSON PHONE AGAIN. I am so happy to have got rid of my X10 after less than 4 weeks over ownership and now have a nice cheap ZTE Blade which will do until I come to the end of my contract when I will make sure I get a phone from a reputable manufacturer.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markboi13:
i never said that the fix would be easy. I know it will be hard but but I am left with no choice. Getting a new cheap crap phone is not an option since my contract ends in two years. There is definetly a fix out there and it may not be easy but i would still like to know it. If its a matter of something lyk resolder then I have people who can do that for me
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam22030:
Question: My Nexus S is 2.3.3 with the following:

Baseband: M200KRKB3

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-g1d030a7androidbuild@apa28#1

Build: GRI54

Which method can I use to just root it? I do not need the ability to

install any custom ROM at the moment.

I have read through several of the rooting threads but the builds are

lower versions and it is unclear if the Clockwork recovery or build.img

(depending on the method) will support the baseband and build listed

above.

I appreciate the help.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam22030:
Used GingerBreak

Ok, solved it. I tried and successfully rooted using GingerBreak.

Thank You!! Looked for GRI54 root and this is the first post.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
haven't seen any thread about this. someone already tried setcpu on the arc how about the play?

i want to overclock my unit cause most of the psx games (ie castlevania) tends to be slow and the framerate drops significantly even if it's fixed at 30 fps.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
so no one seems to be interested in overclocking the xplay?
[Xperia Play Android Development] tux880:
i guess when its been out longer ill wont an overclock but i haven't had any slow down as yet well after getting rid of the rubbish that was on there "bloat"

i would rather a recovery menu first ha ha if were wishing here..

but we need a custom kernel first i believe before an overclock
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
You'll need someone to cook up a custom kernel to OC the play or someone to make a script that runs it without a custom kernel. Had this on my HTC desire hd before I rooted/unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom kernel that could OC.

The first option will need a unlocked bootloader and the latter will just need root (if possible with the play).

Setcpu should be able to underclock as it is now, but that wont help with your gaming issues.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Android Development] brendanmurphy:
No need for unlcoked bootloader just need root and someone to cook up a kernel module to work with set CPU. It's a standard qualcom 8250 shouldn't be to hard. Contact the developer of setcpu on twitter or by email
[Xperia Play Android Development] emann56:
Sweet! I don't mind the skinned version that SE provided. I just wanna overclock it for my Zelda game on N64oid :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
will wait for any updates on this. Havent rooted my phone yet cause im after overclocking it for now.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
What were the apps that you removed? I might just do this while waiting for an oc. And were there any signifcant changes in terms of the unit's speed.
[Xperia Play Android Development] mehdi.moha:
hey owain

you already have xperia play !! you can do it

where are you man ?

did you forget xda site ?

why ?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
We need the sources of the xplay to create own kernels - at least to create one without minor bugs
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
The source is out for the play, forget where now but the link is on this forum, i think its the thread about starting to root it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
Really? Excellent will take a look at that :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Hey guys, i'm new to the play forum although ive been around for a while lol anyway just to clarify some points.

yes with the sony kernel source code we can make custom kernels, but without an unlocked bootloader we cannot flash unsigned images.. i only got my play 2day so i am unsure of what can or cannot be done, does the play have nand protection? if not and we can create and flash a custom recovery image, then an unlocked bootloader should not be nessesary. android has full R/W access by default to all the partitions while in recovery mode, so we should be able to flash things roms/kernels/ect. maybe someone should email clockworkmod and ask if they are or intend to work on a custom recovery :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
I can't find it, anyone know if the source is available?
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
ive googled it and can find nothing on sony releasing kernel source for the play :confused:
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
Only in the arc source seems released: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/search-downloads/android?cc=gb&lc=en
[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
I'll have a poke about in that for now, will be similar-ish
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
could it be that the kernel is the same as the one for the play?
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
pretty sure of that. They mention it's for their 2011 xperia gingerbread phones.

http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wportal/devworld/downloads/download/30a2181182tarbz2?cc=gb&lc=en
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
it's the same firmware package for neo/arc/play

check arm/arch/config

semc_zeus_defconfig is the play one.

So there you have it the source code.

booting into linux now ill have a look and try to compile it
[Xperia Play Android Development] svenk919:
Great, I was looking at this one: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/w.../download/so-01cgingerbread30d279?cc=gb&lc=en :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Ireas:
so whats the link to the sources now? lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
same link lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
Well it seems to compile ok, are we able to install custom kernels yet?

Actually a few errors at the end -:

warning: EXIDX section .ARM.exidx.ARM.extab(19) links to non-executable section .ARM.extab(8) in arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o

Hmm, lot different to board_bravo which I'm used to :) I like new things :)

This is our frequency table -:

static struct cpufreq_frequency_table freq_table[] = {

{ 0, 122880 },

{ 1, 245760 },

{ 2, 368640 },

{ 3, 768000 },

/* 806.4MHz is updated to 1024MHz at runtime for MSM8x55. */

{ 4, 806400 },

{ 5, CPUFREQ_TABLE_END },

};

Interestingly, avs code appears to be partly included, at least avs.c and avs.h are there.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
sony have released the kernel guide now, setting the freq will be a doddle! if my bootloader wasnt locked id knock one up with 1.4 activated to try it out but im not unlocking the bootloader yet on the new phone.

[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
Yeah might give it a go tomorrow, patched kernel up to 2.6.32.39 and added some other stuff.
[Xperia Play Android Development] blickmanic:
nice to see people are working on custom kernels :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
any updates :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
im tempted to build it with the CPU freq, but i cant flash it as yet overclocking is not a big enough reason as yet to unlock my bootloader.
[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
noob question: once you root your phone it will automatically unlock it right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] coutts99:
Yeah I'm holding off on unlocking bootloader for a little while as it's my daughters phone not mine, and if I brick it, I won't be popular :)

Got a kernel built, BFS/BFQ and smartass and interactive governors included, just haven't tested it yet :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
No to unlock the bootloader you need an unbranded sim free XP, you can then visit the sony dev website, give them your imei number and they will issue you a bootloader unlock code :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Id be happy to test your kernel for you lol :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] blickmanic:
not necessarily, use gingerbreak and your bootloader wont get unlocked :]
[Xperia Play Android Development] blickmanic:
same here, got an unlocked bootloader and know alot of C++
[Xperia Play Android Development] teckhwee:
Custom Kernals can be customised to disable the auto brightness?

any news on overclock? my friends galaxy s is beating me in quadrant/loading games faster......
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Erm... So what?
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Quadrant is completely useless for benchmarking on the Galaxy S. Ignore everything it tells you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AriStar:
Really? proof? i need to show him this....
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Go to the Galaxy S forums or google "spoof quadrant".

Some tidbits, Quadrant overstates the IO part of its score. There are tricks to boost this (ext2 binds, disable Stagefright, disable video format playback ) and other builds such as MIUI give idiotic 5000+ scores.

Benchmarks are useless, the phones should perform roughly the same, the Galaxy S has a more mature firmware under its hood.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
take it from someone who just sold theirs, the play is far better that the S smoother, no need to apply lag fix, no ****ty RFS filesystem, no GPS failure.

The list is endless the play is far better, ignore benchmarks they mean squat
[Xperia Play Android Development] AriStar:
allright. good to know.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
quadrant is a stupid benchmark and easy to trick, even before devs made kernels to trick quadrant, quadrant could never destinguish between the galaxys s's CPU & GPU, mistaking processing power for 3D performance.

How about NenaMark?

[Xperia Play Android Development] bewrong666:
any breakthroughs?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TettZor:
How lovely to stumble upon this! Yes stock samsung FW with "lag fix" is useless for benchmarking. This I wholeheartedly agree to. But lets say you happen to run CM7 on your Galaxy S and that mod uses the exact same filesystem as the Nexus 1 (ie. movienand + yaffs2 and no silly ext2 binds or other cheats) and get a non OC score of 2000 minimum in quadrant? In my case I get scores well beyond 3000 on my stable 1.4 ghz oc. But hey, screw quadrant and run a more respectable benchmark like Smartbench 2011. I scored 3200 in gaming the last time i used it. What does your experia play score? No offence guys but I had to defend my phone's honor. Beacause I'm a filthy, filthy fanboy....

[Xperia Play Android Development] Krislawl:
high benchmark scores for gaming don't really matter when you can't, you know, control your games.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AriStar:
exactly what i was going to say.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Tettzor my play gets 63.5 fps with sound and no o/c on neocore, thats a proper 3D benchmark lets see you SGS beat that :) lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
There is no argument the samsung can't bee run stock it lags like mad.

Or phones are running stock yours isn't simples. I've had two galaxy s they both sucked.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
63.5 is the hardcoded frame limit in Neocore and I was hitting the same number on my Galaxy S Captivate.
[Xperia Play Android Development] TettZor:
Of course, how silly of me. Now that XPlay have revolutionized the way of playing games on smartphones by taking the tap and slide away from the screen and put it on a frail little pad UNDER the screen I will now be super PWNED When I'm playing Modern Combat online, the angry birds will be ALOT angrier at me compared to XPlayers and my highscores on fruit ninja will now be obliterated...

Thank you for straighten me out. I will now sell my SGS and go out and buy an XPlay the first thing when hell freezes over...

Now THATS sarcasm
[Xperia Play Android Development] Krislawl:
the pad isn't frail and try playing any non rpg psx game on a touch screen.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I did that :p And as someone who dealt with the phone quite intensively (beta-testing DarkyROM, mainly) I think you'd do well in heeding that advice: don't pay attention to benchmarks, since, at least for the SGS, they're buggy and unreliable at worst and irrelevant at best.
[Xperia Play Android Development] waz000000:
Once of course youve installed various kernals as they come out each day, converted the filesystem, added a fix for gps. prayed for the day cynogen would be suppored, and then found it was and repeated all the above steps to get the phone woking as well as all the other android phones out there.

what we did was switch on the play and ermm we played it. oh and then i went on a journey and the GPS knew where i was it didnt think i was suddenly in the air or on the next road.

hmm your right sgs way better!

I also remember reading many posts by developers explaining how the sgs sucked compaired to other phones and the RFS fielsystem was a joke. your phone cannot be used as stock it lags seriously a lagging phone?!?

that's also sarcasm

Prior to my x-play I have owned a whole bunch of high end devices (Samsung galaxy s, LG optimus x2 etc) and even if I have been able to run all my favourite games in emulators and native android the truth is I have not been able to enjoy it due to the lack of hardware controls. The play is a godsend for a retro gamer like me :-D
[Xperia Play Android Development] crispyduckling:
Lol

How funny was it reading this thread.

We as play owners know and understand that there are more powerful phones out there

Just as anyone with a new dual core phone will know in a few months there phones wont be the fastest phones anymore, as newer more powerful phones come out, so is the way of mobiles it will always be like that.

We play owners have our phones in one thing in mind GAMES and being able to CONTROL them properly like on the games consoles.

A more powerful phone with touch screen controls is like

Driving a BMW m3 in the snow with slick tires with out traction control
