Same rhetoric from SGSII owners with no proof to back up their claims. I tried to be open minded to both sides.....now, not so much.

Is this part of your great build quality? From the first few page of SGS2 XDA general forums.

You show me one forum under a catergory that doesnt have these problem/issue threads the first 2 months of release. I guess you believe everything you read. Its about 15 users posting the same threads here and at androidforums with problem threads. If you read the threads theres maybe 5 actual people with that problem.

One user here has 3 different usernames rbc
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Judging by your defense tegra/atrix threads theres no point in talking to you. At the end of the day the sgs2 overall is better than the atrix. Out of the 20 phones Ive had since last year, atrix is in the top 3 worst. I give it a plus because of the samurai 2 game. To make you feel better it out performs lg2x/O2x. Anything but motoblur running on the atrix causes lag. Atleast my experience with launcherpro/adw/go and greyblur. Atleast I was able to get 430 for it used, I suggest you do the same while it still has value. I sense buyers remorse.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
You have to laugh at the multiple references to 'Atrix Fanboys' in this thread, before the poster goes on to say how crap the Atrix is in comparison to the GS2 without going into any detail as to why. I wonder if the irony is lost on them?

Personally I don't have an Atrix so wont be offering any comment. But I think it's clear half the people in this thread don't have one either.

[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Also what is the "issue" rate of the SGSII. Just because you see a small number of owners posting in one location, it reflects the entire population of the SGSII owners?

I actually skipped out on atrix just because of the lag issues reported by a few very tech savvy friends and my hands on experience with their devices weren't too pleasing.
[Galaxy S II General] eallan:
I've owned 2 different atrixes(?) They both creak and feel cheap. The screen is crooked often having one side higher. The fingerprint reader is often crooked.

The cover is neat in covering the sides. That's about it.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I had one for a total of 3 weeks. I really only bought it to sell it. I got it for 120 including box and accessories.I made 300 profit off of it. I also found a lg g2x for 180 in new shape. Had that for 2 weeks. Sold that phone for about 300 profit. I love craigslist.

Atrix is not a bad phone by any means. I've owned the sgs2 for about 3 weeks and my experience has been great. For a little bit of craigslist selling/fleabay I got my sgs2 for 40 bucks.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
To be frank, answer is simple. Atrix had its days. There is no contest between SGS2 and Atrix.

Atrix users need not feel the need to upgrade to S2 yet, but if you are in market to buy new phone without money constraints, SGS 2 drives around in circles around Atrix. Its simply put better device out of the two.

I still have my atrix thanks to its call quality and actually selling my Nexus S to keep it after getting SGS2, but only fanboys can defend it against SGS2.

And btw Motorola have not committed to unlocking bootloaders on existing devices have they? They just said they will do it for their devices launching in fall.

Atrix seems destined to stay screwed over by motorola.
[Galaxy S II General] emorej:
Atrix is Android 2.2 while SGS2 is 2.3.3, SGS2 wins!:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] ccrows:
Wow that sucks!

Normally I would laugh at this, but the amount dropped on the SG2 is no laughing matter plus I'm a big believer in Karma.

Is your SG2 even repairable?... :(
[Galaxy S II General] tjjensen23:
Thanks you gave me quite an afternoon chuckle
[Galaxy S II General] logey18:
Atrix needs to be modernised otherwise not a bad phone Motorola needs to get with the times viz;its 2011 not 2009
[Galaxy S II General] y2whisper:
I am interested in this as I can get the SGS2 for about $625 would look to sell my atrix/car dock if its that much better. The fact that the SGS2 is unlocked is a big +. the main concerns that I have is that I didn't like the build quality of the SGS1 felt very plasticy like my ipod touch with the rubber case, only lighter and the battery life issues. I have push email/services on all day and don't wish to have turn stuff like that off just to get a days use out of my device.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You need this.

http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Tough-Cases.asp

I got one from the UK and and I don't think running the phone over with a car would hurt it.
[Galaxy S II General] Mitty1990:
There was nothing better about my Atrix compared to my SGS 2 II.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
If any xda'ers would like to test the sgs ii in nyc, i would be more than happy to provide some hands on time
[Galaxy S II General] MaelstromXC:
How are you able to test the SGS2 for only $625? I am from Canada too and I would like to know :D
[Galaxy S II General] Shocky2:
Then your phone is defective or your doing something wrong, I'm lasting over a day easily on my Galaxy S II and I play games allot. so not light usage at all.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I'm getting 14-16 hours with moderate+ usage which is about what I got on my G2X which was also dual-core. I think signal consistency has a lot to do with it. There are a lot more complaints from the EU where I think signal strength/availability varies a lot more than for those of us using AT&T. My phone's not been off 3G since I got it.

Sending by email an exe in a zip file we are able to run it...

WP7 can run explorer.exe also coming from WinCE 6.0? If no... Why?

Sorry for bad english....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gatt088:
ciao, se ho capito bene la tua domanda, no, non è possibile eseguire i file .exe del vecchio wm6.x, perchè wp7 è stato completamente riscritto volutamente senza pensare alla retrocompatibilità (ci sono di mezzo gli interessi del marketplace), sicuramente sarebbe possibile creare un emulatore ma non è ancora possibile senza le nuove API, e IMHO non ne varrebbe la pena (anche se mi piacerebbe :) )

hi, if i understood your question, no, isn't possible to run .exe files from the old wm6.x, because wp7 was been completely rewritten without thinking at the retro-compatibility (marketplace business...). can be surely made an emulator but isn't possible yet due to the new API's issue, and IMHO don't worth it (altought i would like it :) )......

sorry for bad english too :p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxXPachaXxX:
Hello! thanks for the reply, but the question was different ;)

I read that Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE 6.0 kernel (and Windows Mobile is based on CE 5.0 kernel)... So I thinked that we could try to run WinCE 6.0 executables (like explorer.exe) a bit like an hack of the ZuneHD...would be interesting ;)

is it possible?? i'm trying without succes :( i think there are missing libraries.

----------------------------------------------

ciao! grazie per la risposta, ma hai capito un pò male ;)

ho letto che windows phone 7 è basato sul kernel di Windows CE 6.0(mentre Windows Mobile è basato su quello di Windows CE 5.0)... così ho pensato che si potessero eseguire degli exe (come explorer.exe) un pò come si fa in un hack per lo ZuneHD... sarebbe interessante ;)

è possibile? sto provando, ma senza risultato :( mancano delle librerie secondo me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
In theory, it's possible. However, strange though it sounds, users don't actually have permission to run EXEs directly on WP7 - they have to be launched by the system in response to specific user behaviors.

There are ways to gain more permissions via homebrew, though, and this might work. On the other hand, it's possible that Microsoft signed all their EXE files and made it so that the phone won't run any unsigned EXEs, which would block that from working too.

Does anyone out there have their browser video playback running smoothly? I have cm7.0.3 stable and of kernel 04/24/11 flashed. Oc is at 1300. Playback is choppy still. Anything else I can do?
[Atrix 4G General] Bracemg:
I know that the Atrix will not be compatible with AT&T LTE. When comparing Verizon's LTE with ATT's HSPA+, Verizon blows it out of the water. While I know that HSPA+ will never be as fast as LTE, does anyone know if there are plans to improve the speed of HSPA+ on ATT? I think it's able to perform speeds of 14 mpbs but the reports I have seen actually put it at 2-4 mbps.

Thanks,

Matt
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
They could very easily increase our speed, but the real question is "will they?".

It might be they are going to keep HSPA+ where it is because the network won't handle the volume of traffic, or might be because they want people to jump on LTE when they start that, (enthusiasts buying new LTE phones so they can utilize the faster speeds). in reality, we don't know, but can hope!
[Atrix 4G General] estenh:
AT&T is slowly improving backhaul from what I hear. This should increase it pretty significantly, as T-Mobile is making similar improvements and seeing speeds in the 5+ mbps range. The most I've seen is 4.7 Mbps on my Atrix (up from 1.5 on my old Aria), so I know that the phone is capable of pretty significant speeds. The HSPA+ 14.4 radio on the Atrix is likely to top out at around 7-10 mbps once all the network improvements have been finished.
[Atrix 4G General] roharia:
Most of the towers are fast enough already but they get bogged down easily by many more people using it than it can handle, when they increase bandwidth you'll see improvements
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I almost broke 7 Mbps down this morning. Upload is a steady and consistent 1.2 Mbps.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
I get 3.5 down and 1 up... I have no 4g here, at least that's what it says in about phone.

SIGH.
[Atrix 4G General] Bracemg:
Appologies for my ignorance, but what app are you using to measure speed?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Speedtest, pretty much the standard we all use:

Speedtest Mobile

If you use it, make sure to check settings and select the server closest to you. Speedtest can have a habit of picking a very distant server for you. Also, it sometimes pays to try different servers, as speed results will vary depending on the server and who runs it.
[Atrix 4G General] vinay427:
Just as a recommendation, if you get consistently varied results on the Speedtest app you can try different servers but also try http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. It seems to give me far more consistent results, but I'm not sure about anyone else. The desktop page should load fine with that strong Flash support! :)
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Yup, Speakeasy is another good one!

Well I just got a data plan and i want to update my xperia x10 and get the most of it.

My xperia specs are:

X10a

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband 2.0.46

Kernel version 2.6.29

Build # 2.0.a.504

I want to know which roms are compatible with my device pls :confused:

Another question

If I update my Android version, can I download the 2.2 market apps?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bird40:

I recommend CM 6.1.3 [V006] [13-05-11] [Tweaked+Theme+Extras] (Android version 2.2.1)

I use this ROM and is very happy ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riginal:
yeah but since your baseband is 46 for CM 6.1.3 [V006] [13-05-11] [Tweaked+Theme+Extras] you'll need patch which is on its first post

you can also try Cobrato's MIUI:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041524

fast & stable & it should work on 46 without patch
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
this is not a negative post, but perhaps some people that would be able to cross platform network across this site that might think this is a good idea.

Google wants to have 18 month support from the manufacturers. Great love the idea and needs to be there.

Ok how about a stipulation that makes manufacturers unlock the boot loader after that time. By that time the manufacturer has most likely moved on to something else. Then allow the user to service their device

yeah or nay?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kos26:
I am unable to download from the market. If i search for an app and find it in the results list and tap on it the screen flashes black then to white and says loading and then right back to the results list. Ive tried clearing the cache and data in manage applications with no luck. It was working fine a few days ago and the only thing ive changed was to turn journaling on. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
Try clearing Market cache and data under settings/applications, and then clearing all apps' cache with an app2sd type program. This may have helped me when I was having another type of market issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kos26:
Thanks for the reply but i've already tried that. I believe the market got messed up on a freeze and battery pull. I was able to replace it with a themed version and all is good. Just need to source the oem apk
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megabiteg:
Was this a market that you got because it came with a ROM or did you push a new version. I would suggest flashing a new market to the device and trying to see if that can solve the issue
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kos26:
The one i replaced was the original. The market I used to replace it was not from a rom, its one in the themes and apps forum

Hi everyone! :)

I use FPSE 0.10.45 to play Final Fantasy IX (PAL - Italian) on my X10 (Android 2.1) and work very good!

Over 50 FPS everytime, except when there are the fights with the monsters!!!

FPSE work around 30 FPS, very slow... :(

If I setup the frame "up to 50", work around 50/60 FPS, perfect! But the statistic and the menu for fight (attack, magic, object, ...) disappear (become invisible)...

There is a solution?

Thanks to all! :D

Greets :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] shinnsan:
Same problem here. And my framelimiter always seems to unset itself sometimes without reason. I think fpse works fine without frameskip in custom kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lux@:
Up! :o
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Alakasam:
I use Psx4droid v2

I prefer it much better than psxe

im not playing FFIX

but FFVIII (the best one ;) )

I'm getting constant 60fps even with the transition effects from world map to battles or anything like that :D

supeerrr smooth :)

I don't have sound though, because with 32fps cap, its jumpy

hope that helps!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fanfanito:
Easiest workaround is to bind square to your snapshot hardware button and keep it down during battles whenever not using the menus, this will hide the menu and bring your fps back to 50+

Otherwise the custom kernel or build prop line removing fps cap may do the trick, tell us how it goes if you try that!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lux@:
I tried to use Psx4Droid v2 but this don't give me constat 50/60 fps...

I can try again! Thanks! :)

Yes, this is a solution, but it is very uneasy! eheh

Thanks :)

I don't understand... You can tell me how I have to do this? Thank you very much! :D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fanfanito:
You can edit your build.prop to remove the 32fps cap on your x10 (use root explorer)

more details in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082692

this will greatly enhance FPse's performances - tried this this afternoon, works great on FF7, 8 ( about as close to the original game as you'll get with an emulator ), on FF9 with no sharp overlay drawings, no frameskip nor slowdown emulation or enhanced 3D rendering, you'll get about 53~ fps in battle with menu displayed, not perfect but still very playable.

I have yet to try with the new kernel but not being an expert on the subject I am not ready to do that just yet.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] lux@:
Fantastic!

You're my Idol!!! :D eheh

I edited my "build.prop" and now work around 55/60 FPS in battle!! :)

The quality is more low, but it's not impotant! :D

Thank you very much! :D

If you have another suggestion, I will grateful if you can tell me! :D

ps.: Sorry my bad english!! I speak italian! eheheh

That's all I have for now, glad I could help!

There are 2 menus to go through.

The first should have the following options:

- Reboot system now

- Apply SDCARD :update.zip

- Apply SDINTERNAL :Pupdate.zip

- Wipe DATA/Factory reset

- Wipe CACHE partition

- Install zip from SDCARD

- Backup & restore

- Mounts & storage

- Advanced

- +++++Go Back+++++

The second should have the following options:

- apply sdcard :update.zip

- choose zip from sdcard

- toggle signature verification

- toggle script asserts

- choose zip from internal sdcard

- +++++Go Back+++++

If you aren't getting these menus, I would reinstall Tenfars CWM and try again.

All you do is open up the icon in your notification, which will pop up the dialog of either waiting for upload, completed, failed, or pending. Just hit the one you want and another dialog pops up, and you hit clear

I use Go SMS on CM 7.0.3 ROM. I frequently (2-3 times a day) get a weird text alert as you can see below.

As you can see, it says 7pm (and always does regardless of actual time), has no sender, has no content, and does not show up when I actually launch either Go SMS or the regular messages app. It is like a ghost alert with no real message attached.
