[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArthurSkoll:
sorry if there is an answer somewhere, couldn't find it.

my power button on the N1 broke and yestarday I had to turn it off. the battery trick (plug in the phone, take out and re-insert the battery a couple off times) worked once before but now the phone simply stays off.

warrenty is not an option anymore for me.

Is there any another way to turn the phone on without using the power button?

thanks in advance :)

Edit: just in case, my N1 is an SLCD model and its running 2.3.4.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RisingRider:
Wow, I'm having the same problem and was about to make a thread like this.

Running CM7, the phone crashed on me last night and I had to turn it off. I tried the battery trick, but it's never worked for me. The few times I've had to turn the phone off, I was lucky and the power button worked after mashing it for a couple of minutes, but now it's completely dead.

I'm under warranty, but right now I'm without a phone and and need it back up ASAP..

(Mine is also the SLCD model, if it makes a difference.)

Edit: Managed to mash the button to life once again; My phone is back. I think I need to give HTC a call.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Try pulling the SIM and SD, as well as the battery, and re-inserting them all...

The other option - I read a post by a guy whose power button was stuck in the closed position, and he had to open the phone and separate the contacts to get the phone to start...

Also if you are anything into some DIY repair work, there is always a spare part for this http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_kw=nexus one power flex

With the right tools, it shouldn't be to much of a problem replacing this part.

Hey people i found a site which does skins for the dell streak. so all the people who loved the idea of the different colour dell streaks which seems to be non existent can now personalise their streak

remember to hit the thanks button if u like :P
[Streak 5 Accessories] Alexanderbooth:
I like the idea but none of them are nice hahah
[Streak 5 Accessories] mikeinessex:
most of these places if you contact them through email they will do a design of your choice. send them a picture of what you would like and they will send back a image of what it will look like. im new to streak so not yet bothered getting one from istyles but when i had a galaxy s i went with diabloskinz and he personalised mine with my name and the image i wanted for no extra cost. but he doesnt do streak
[Streak 5 Accessories] msgnyc:
lmao, Yeah these are nice. Got mine from http://www.decalgirl.com tho.

If you take your time you can get a perfect fit. The material is a little stretchy so you can get it to cover every little corner and edge if you take your time.

I've had the old school Composition Notebook style skin for awhile now. Matte finish.

Love it. When I'm not using the nc i have it in its case flipped around and people actually think it is one of the old notepads. hahaha
[Streak 5 Accessories] mikeinessex:
lol thats pretty cool
[Streak 5 Accessories] madmax85812:
go to skinit.com. much better designs, awesome quality, more expensive than istyles, but hey, quality comes at a price. ;)

n yeah, if you somehow still manage to dislike the designs, it has an online onsite designer. u can upload your own pic n create a skin for yourself in 5 mins. njoi.

What is your opinion in this?

Is 16GB enough? Or is it wiser to get the 32GB model?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
I got a 16GB and am happy with it. I won't keep that much media on it anyway, and if I want more space, I have the microSD card slot. The difference between 16 and 32GB is $100, but you could get the 16GB and a 32GB MicroSD card for less than $500.

Oh, and with the keyboard dock, I can get SDHC cards for even cheaper. I already have a 16GB MicroSD in it... If I should want more space, I'll just get a 16 or 32GB SDHC card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kilmar:
FYI, you cannot install or move apps to the microsd/SD without rooting (yet). Even then, you'd be hard pressed to fill up the 16GB with apps. Let's say an app avgs 10MB, that means you can have 1600 apps. You've got other issues if you have 1600+ apps installed.

For larger apps, the data portion can be installed on the external media. I have World Series of Poker which installs about 10MB to the internal memory and 380MB to the external when launched.

In short, I think 16GB is fine. Just make sure the music/videos/pics stay on the external media.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicpork:
16gb is more than enough with the microsd slot on the tablet...if you need extra storage, the two usb ports on the docking station can help...you can even use external hard drives like western digital passport..

by no mean I'm saying the 32gb is bad..I just think it's hard to justify the $100 premium
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Ah, ok - thanks guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Daedalus:
Personally, I'm going for the 32GB model. I plan to have a lot of movies/TV on my TF, and though I can fit a fair bit with a 32GB microSD and a 64GB SD card, I'd still like to have as much storage from the get-go as I can.

[EVO 4G General] sjhanson:
I have an EVO that I got back in November. I started rooting in January and I started with Sense based ROMs. I switched to AOSP ROMs and I noticed that whenever I try and send a SMS to an email address, it is auto comverted to an MMS. I do not like this, since at work we have an old school paging system (I work in a factory and there is no phone signal inside it) and I can not use my phone to send pages to people when I am outside the factory. I have tried to use a few AOSP ROMs but they all seem to do it. So I have switched back to a sense ROM, MikFroyo 4.6, and the SMS function is back. Anyone know if there is a why to stop the auto conversion on GB ROMs. I really like CM7.

Hey guys

I was just testing if my phone has the Recovery and Download mode

Recovery mode : checked then reboot

Download mode : I got into it by pressing Volume Down + Home button + Power button

But now, I'm stuck with Android Robot in the yellow triangle + "Do not turn off Target!!!" and I don't know how to skip it !

Do I simply remove the battery and reboot ? or will I brick it by doing that ?

please help me I don't know what to do :(

I will be traveling next month and always like to back up my pictures (from a Canon EOS) during the trip.

I can do this with my ipad using their camera connection kit and it works well.

Was wondring if there is something similar for the Tab so I only have to bring that with me?

Do any of the android tablets support this?

No you can't on SGT.

Every Tablet with USB host (such as Acer Iconia) can do it i think.

[G2 and Desire Z General] shady503403:
well welcome to the community. don't mind the haters here.

and miui owns all.. ive no issues and battery life is amazing. cm7 was good, but when i would actually use an app or play a game i could watch my battery life drop.. was ridiculous.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
I gotta agree with ya, meXdroid rocks my face off. I dont understand how anyone could say it lags, cuz that rom SCREAMS on my phone. For the past two days i've been running Virtuous Fusion cuz....(drumroll please).... working Netflix!

This right here.

Welcome to XDA! And yeah, ignore the people whining about grammar.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Never gave mexdroid a chance. That annoying ass startup sound was unreal. The bloody gore was a bit unnecessary also. I guess i'm not a typical guy in that i'm not into all that. Couldn't really give it a chance after that. Yes yes i know all that can be changed.

CM7 is the best imo, ONLY after you get rid of POOP launcher (adw). That launcher brings that rom down so far it's not even funny. ANY other launcher is better. Stock ginger launcher by eugene turns it into a powerhouse. What does adw stand for? Unadulterated Disastrous Waste?
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
People whining about grammar are not haters. They just understand that the world runs smoother with punctuation. It isn't that hard to hit period or comma. And as to the above comment about adw, really man? It runs buttery smooth on my desire z. It looks sleek and is easy to use. What is wrong with it?

[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
ADW launcher is crap.

ADW ex, on the other hand, is a brilliant thing. the newest update's 3d drawer is hands down the best I have seen, basically looks and feels like the stock launcher (which was one of my biggest gripes with all of the custom launchers, their 3d drawers all blew... not anymore). of course, it's also not free.

different strokes for different folks... but mexdroid is fugly. looks like something a three year old would have fathomed after watching transformers.

(no offense to the dev of course, I appreciate every dev's work even if it's not my cup of tea)

also, op, you will find that fixing permissions will come in handy maybe once or twice the entire time you own your phone.. it is not the fix your phone button.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Not everyone's first language is English. I understand how it can be annoying, but chances are they're using a translator from the web and copying it over.

Are you talking about the Vertical 4D option or Vertical New?

The download provider apk handles your downloads from the market, browser etc. Don't delete both make sure you at least have one of them. You can delete the lower case one but keep the other. To be honest I'd just leave em alone lol.

I assume the "UI" portion is the "Downloads" app that shows up in your drawer. If you use a non-stock browser it'll probably appear empty all the time anyway. I'd assume you need the backend to it though. Don't delete that.

[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Just wondered what everyone thought of the CPU GPU and RAM in the Xperia Play?

My personal thoughts:

The CPU:

I know the CPU is the fastest single core they do on the snapdragon and if it can be overclocked to 1.5ghz-2.0ghz I would be very impressed and it would make the device last a lot longer, I do think this phone should have had a dual core cpu but nothing we can do about apart from overclocking!

The GPU:

The Adreno 205 CPU is classed as a top spec gpu for CURRENT mobile devices at the moment, this gpu out performs the iphone 4, ipad, the adreno 200's, power vr's (up to a certain model) etc so am more than happy with the GPU and graphics the phone can produce.

The RAM:

My only other disappointment is the RAM on this phone, if it had 768mb so it had a full 512mb available for use after loading the os then it would have been fine but that isn't the case, 1gb would be been perfect.

The Play only has 340mb available to it and a lot of this is used by system processes, on mine I am lucky to see 240mb spare on idle and this is rooted with the bloatware removed,

I think this will be the major bottleneck of the Play and could affect some of the better looking games arriving later in the year and this is meant to be a Playstation certified GAMING phone! :(

My questions:

1, What are your views on the cpu gpu and ram?

2, How does the Play compare to the other Android phones out there? is this classed as a mid ranged phone due to the new dual cores out?

3, What are your concerns about the Play?

4, What would you like to see in the Play 2?
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
I wont get a play v2. It ends here for me so bring on the custom roms and make this phone shine.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Keep in mind that free ram for games is not comparable to pc's. The current gen consoles have 256MB if I'm correct.
[Xperia Play General] :
PS3 = 256 MB x 2 (one is dedicated to the CPU the other is dedicated to the GPU

Xbox360 = 512 MB

Nintendo wii = 24 MB
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Correct and you can see the leap in graphics between the Wii and 360/ps3, could this be what will happen with the Xperia Play against the Galaxy S II? :(
[Xperia Play General] waz000000:
It takes a whole lot more than just the cpu and mem To make the differences between xbox 360 and nintendo pi$$

Shader cells polygon counts resolution pipe lines hell of a lot really not to mention hasn't the 360 got like 8 cores?

The dreamcast was quiet low spec but the games where coded to use the hardware resulting in fairly high fps
[Xperia Play General] :
I would have liked dual core. I can live without dual core though.
[Xperia Play General] crispyduckling:
well yes the play hasnt got the best specs

theres dual core now and the adreno 220 instead of our 205

but none of the newer higher spec phones have a dedicated gamepad

so they will be playing better quality graphic games

but still be pissing around on the touch screens trying to play them properly
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
All of which require memory to run, without the ram there would be no resolution bump or being able to process so many polygons via the gpu, look at the many multi platform games on 360 and ps3, the 360 version is 90% of the time the better version as its easier to develop for, this is

partly

down to the dedicated 512mb ram.

And the 360 is a triple core PowerPC CPU with two thread processes per core, so three true cores and six total cores if you include the threaded cores.

However, just cannot find the solution. Please help!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1) You will need to be more specific, what step are you stuck at, and how are you stuck? Are you still S-On?

2) For ROMs that are not rootable, the downgrade process involves going back to a rootable ROM. It negates the purpose of you flashing the new ROM to begin with. So flashing this ROM and downgrading was a complete waste of your time.

Were you rooted and S-Off before flashing the official Gingerbread update?

A bunch of people still don't seem to be getting it. Don't flash the official ROM if you want to be rooted. If you are rooted and S-Off, there is a rooted version, and that is what you should have flashed (just flash from ROM Manager or Recovery):
