I contacted their live chat today and asked about the Silver color. They said that they plan on selling the silver color soon and he advised me to check back next week.

Just wanted to share this info in case people are interested in the silver like I am. :)
[Xperia Arc General] rajeshr:
I spoke to the SE folks last month and they mentioned that they did not have a release date for the US. They mentioned that it was going on sale in Canada towards the end of April and that an unlocked version would be available in Canada towards the mid-end May timeframe.

Hopefully, the information I got was incorrect and you guys get your phone soon!
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Well, their website says "In Stock - Ships within 24-48 hours". So hopefully you should get yours no later than Tuesday.
[Xperia Arc General] ajftl:
YEA i spoke to them this morning and he told me the phone was in stock. i asked him when is my order being ship he said 24/48(ordered mine last night) hours to process orders so looks like im getting it next week ... i also asked the guy for the SGS2 he said it was schedule to arrive this week or latest next one...

[Xperia Arc General] ajftl:

[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
I am sure you can exchange it, can't you?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
For whoever ordered this, I should say what they are selling is Rogers branded phone.

+probably no US warranties.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpman:
I wanted the new community rom and the ED01 Modem. I was on superclean 2.9.2. I followed adrynalyne's thread on "How to Get to ED01 (Official Froyo) Quickly"

I downgraded to Dl09, then flashed the EA28 Update.zip and flashed the ED01 Update.zip all successfully.

His instructions then said to FLASH cwm. I had a CWM rocovery-for all roms that was 6.1 mb on my sd card and saw that the one listed at, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021, was now bigger. So I copied that CWM Recovery-all zip onto the root of my sd card, overwriting the old one. I tried to flash this using the stock blue recovery, but there was no option to "choose a zip" like in cwm.

So I downloaded the tar file and tried to Odin that tar. I chose PDA, like I have in the past. But it failed in just a few seconds. Then I tried to flash the update.zip, I think, and bricked my phone. I think that was what I tried to flash. It was about 2am last night. I don't remember having the option to flash anything else.

Now any button I push, including trying to put it in download mode by pushing the down volume and power button, lead to all black with an image of a small cell..(dot dot) yellow triangle with exclamation point..image of small computer. If I plug it in I do get the battery charging image.

Someone please help. I don't know what to do.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHoLyx:
Its call soft brick. Re-odin di01 all in one
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpman:
Thanks. I just figured out how to get back into download mode. Pull battery, plug in and volume down. Then I odined DL09 again. Seems to have worked. Figured I'd try adrynalyne's instructions again. Is that ok? I'm hoping I Don't mess up the CWM flash again.

These phones are pretty nice about not bricking. As long as the screen turns on at all your ok (well 999 times out of 1000).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpman:
Thanks everyone. I'm ok now. I did adrynalyne's instructions on how get to ED01. Then, I flashed CWM through odin. I also flashed the community rom and the 1.2 patch after my initial CWM install through odin.

Question: do I also need to put a zip of CWM on my Sd card if I can get to CWM after Odining it? Also, can I use the bstats.zip on the community rom?

This is my attempt to create a basic Linux TV server for mobile devices. A poor mans slingbox alternative (with a channel controller). I started tinkering with a simple android webview apk that I haven't posted yet because I want to create one that would support ssh tunnels for the server. So for now this example can run from any www client with flash support (I'm running 2.2.1 firmware and Flash Player 10.2 in the demo) It's not as fancy as slingbox but it works for me.. maybe it would work for someone else too.

My phone and my wifes were getting hot while not even in use. So we called tmo and they replaced them no problem.

The phones were getting very hot in our pockets. For no reason. With that and the data issues I had to replace it.

Tmo was great. No problems getting a new unit. You may want to try.

I'm in my second G2X and my first ran a bit hot but this one doesn't get hot at all. It seems that from the different posts I've read that either you get gold or you get crap when it comes to this model.

Since I rooted and froze all the TMO junk my phone runs much better than before. The biggest difference is that since rooting and freezing my hourly percentage drain is now only about 2% with data and wiring turned off.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cbram12:
Hi, I tried to install the Lite'ning ROM through Clockwork Mod. Only just recently got the Galaxy S. I know about rooting and as such, but this ROM really stuffed up my phone. I can't go into any menus, I can't enter recovery, all that appears is a green/blueish frozen screen. I have tried to reset it through Odin, by installing Darky's ROM, but it is stuck at Setup Connection. A picture is attached.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks.

[Atrix 4G General] spacev:
I got pretty bad battery life today.

Usually I make it through a day with moderate use.

Today though, it was really bad thanks to "tcmd".

Thats all the info the battery usage page gives me.

55% and 2h:40m CPU time !!

What is that process? First time I see that problem.

My display time was just 55 mins today.

I am rooted on 57.

In terminal, "ps" gives me mot_tcmd /system/bin/tcmd

Anyone seen that before? What is that?

Thx
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
Me too! I used to use one battery charge per day and all of a sudden my battery is dead. Batter shows tcmd using 40%... I thought it may be related to the 1.8.3 update I applied over the weekend. The internet says tcmd is total commander app which I dont have unless its bunded with another app. I dont see it in the task manger either. Any info would be great. Thanks!

[Atrix 4G General] shamdawg:
I had this problem once also. But it was before the update that I just did. Wasn't able to pinpoint what it is though.
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
My battery was dead in under 5 hours this morning. I restarted the phone and recharged and it seems fine now. I dont see tcmd in the battery list either. Ill see what happens in the morn.

[Atrix 4G General] 187therapy:

Are you all using Gingerblur 3.1? I flashed Kenn's new update and my battery life was total crap today. I dunno if it's related or not...
[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
Im running stock 8.3 no root. After I simply restarted my phone I havent had the issue resurface again. Weird fluke I guess. My guess is that process must connect or do something over the wireless network and att may have been having issues with whatever that service is causing the service on our phones to use up all the battery while retrying. That theory but who knows.

[EVO 4G General] freeza:
Same, this is annoying, and my ringtones are now significantly shorter because of it.....
[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
I have my Google voice ring my work Cell as well as my sprint phone, And for some reason my work phone rings a full ring before my Sprint phone rings. Wish there wasn't a lag or way to extend the rings.

Also does anyone know how to shut off that stupid press 1 to accept call.. i hate it, today I pressed 1 And then was told the caller hung up( cause phone rang to many times) And to press 2 to call back..
[EVO 4G General] chr232s:

[EVO 4G General] Ep3n3wp:
If I turn that off what happens to the people that call from private unknown or numbers not stored in my phone.

[EVO 4G General] MrMentallo:
There is no call screening option. I'm having this problem too and have no way to turn this option off.
[EVO 4G General] chr232s:
Are you sure? I'm looking at it right now, but to be honest I haven't integrated it with Sprint.

Google.com/voice>sign in>click on your phone number in the top right>click on the calls tab>the very first box is call screening>turn off.

If you turn this off, it will not announce the caller to you and make you press one. However, you won't know if this is someone calling your google voice #, or possibly your work cell # (as is my case).
[EVO 4G General] UnlnvlslblE:
GV and your desk phone are both land lines so the connection is instant. There is always a delay to cell lines regardless if you use GV. There is no way to get rid of the delay; this is completely normal.

To get rid of the press 1 to accept, go into GV -> Settings -> Calls and turn Call Screening to Off.

The funny thing is that I have a Droid X (Verizon) linked to my GV and it always rings before the Evo. I'm now thinking of switching to Verizon so I don't have such a long delay / lose calls.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
LOL, dude, just tweak your EVO's MSL/EPST settings, thats all thats going on in the Droid X.

Set SCI to 2, ACCOLC to 2 & turn EVRC-B to enabled in Advanced.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
That will fix it. It has been posted before.

[EVO 4G General] JoshuaAlba:
can i do this using CM7? i have the same exact problems with some phone calls. and the checks in settings didnt work. google voice is awesome, love answering phones and texts from my laptop while my phone is charging. really dont wanna get rid of it :D
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
The stock settings tell the phones radio to check with the tower every so many seconds. I don't remember what the default is so for sake of the explanation lets say 8 seconds. Your phone just checked the tower and nothing was coming in. Then someone begins calling you. Depending where in the countdown you are at your phone wont check with the tower for another 8 seconds or less. The person calling you will hear the phone ringing even though you have yet to receive an incoming call.

Changing the settings shortens the time between checking with the tower and thus reducing the time your phone will start ringing.
[EVO 4G General] UnlnvlslblE:
You can not do this with any AOSP or 2.3 sense roms.

Nandroid, then flash to a 2.1 / 2.2 rom, make the changes then nandroid back.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rocheau:
Don´t know if this have been posted before, but I have not entered here ( HD2 forum) for the last 3 months, I was busy with the Galaxy Tab. Ok going directly to the point, after having problems with my Android Build in HD2 I was looking for something new in the Hd2 Nand Developtment forum. Most releases, and developers advises to create an ext3 partition before to flash any rom, or at least for those with a 512 LEO one.

I searched in Google for any software that could do the work in Windows. Although we can use a Linux Live CD to do this, we need to do some extra processes like downloading Linux LiveCD, booting your computer into that Live CD and so on, also you can use clockwork recovery menu but is a very slow process (for me).

Finallly I have found a great software tool called Minitool Partition Wizard Home Edition, that let to make any partition tipe from Windows in a couple of minutes. Its free.

The following video shows how to create Ext3 Partation

ive tried and tried and tried... seems like there are only mods to hide them visually meaning they are still on the phone.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cking122:
G'day all,

I am a high school senior about to go off to college next year and am looking for a new laptop for college. I currently have a 13 inch Macbook that is 4+ years old but still runs, despite some battery issues. Now, I am trying to decide what to do for college: either a) get a new laptop or b) get a tablet.

I have just got my first smart phone (Samsung Fascinate) and love it and I think I would like another android device. So my question is this:

Could I go through college with an Old MacBook, always plugged into the wall and a tablet or do I need a new laptop?

And if I can do the first option why is the Xoom better than an Ipad 2? I was the Xoom badly but I am wary of the App Selection in terms of word processors and such to use as note taking programs in lectures, where to write my papers, etc. My main quell with the iPad is not being to access my file storage system as I can with the Xoom so that i can choose how I save things, but as I said the app support there, seems much more uniform.

So I guess I am also asking what are some good word processors to go along with the Xoom if I do go that route?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flombs:
There's a thread here which may help.

I love the Xoom, especially once you get into tinkering with it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minhqp107:
I own a xoom and i totally love it, but i would wait a few more days for the transformer if i were you ,because the transformer has the same specs, more ports, has a laptop dock that can transform the tablet to a laptop while giving u 8 more hrs of battery life and its a lot cheaper than the xoom(if u can get a hold of one). Hope u can find ur tablet soon. Cheers!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siscim23:
There are a few very good apps as far as word processors. The best, IMO, is QuickOffice. There are also quite a few apps that record handwriting, which work well with a stylus. I don't have a stylus but I have tried a few of them just for fun, and choosing the best depends on your personal use. Some will take your writing and shrink it all to fit in lines on a sheet of paper, and others will just keep your writings as a picture, depends on your preferences.

Honestly, still a hard call on whether you will be fine with a laptop always plugged in and a tablet. I think it can be done, there just may be some minor inconveniences. Personally, I would go with the tablet and old laptop.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
Think I have to agree:

Old Macbook + New Tablet.

Four years on a Macbook is hardly anything. Just bought my Son one (3 years old) on Ebay and was shocked at how well they hold their value. Get the battery replaced in the Macbook and buy a tablet. You're good to go.

Zoom >>> than iPad2 for many reasons but that is another discussion: Main reasons for me: Open Source nature and FLASH Support.

The app's you are interested in (Word Processing, ETC) are abundant in the Android Market. Some great examples have already been listed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjank11:
xoom is a great choice and should get updated soon and possibly even dropped in price to compete with the Asus transformer. Honestly, if I was in school I would consider the HTC flyer since it will have some great note taking and recording abilities. You can also go the route with a netbook, will be more powerful than a tablet and would be fairly mobile as well as pretty much replace your desktop/laptop for academic purposes, they are usually pretty cheap. Lastly, most college campuses have computers to use as well with your school ID. That could save you some money if on a tight budget.

Hey all!

I'm just curious. I wanna know if it's possible to run Ubuntu (or any other GNU/Linux distribution) on our little G3 (Guess 256M ram is enough).

[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Like clarkkov said, there is not mouch practicality in having it on phones (except for geekasms), though I could see the potential usefulness on tablets, especially in a dual boot state. I find it kinda odd that no manufacturer is venturing into this, I think a dual boot android/ubuntu tablet would sell big time
[Galaxy 3 General] moikop:
Thanks for the explanation! :)

Yeah, see your point there. I was thinking that maybe, if we were able to run ubuntu on our G3, we would be able to use Eclipse and code on it (imagine how cool would that be! xD). But now that you point out the size of the screen (I didn't think it through XD).

by the way, the new version of ubuntu (cant remember if its 10.4 or 11.4, or something like that) takes up about 450MB just for the OS (gnome powered) and more for apps, obviously. we would have to use a massive swap partition, half a gig or more to be able to boot it... i dont like that idea. i can smell several sd cards burning already from it :D ;)
