[Xperia Play General] gwaine:
Icebear...FPSE runs awesomely on the Verizon Xperia Play (r800x). I've only played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Destruction Derby and Nectaris but I get 60 fps on all of those without a problem. I had to slow down Destruction Derby because it ran too fast.

I too was deciding between getting the absolute fastest phone available versus the Play with its controls. If you plan on using emulators, then there is no question, get the Play. I can't imagine trying to play Castlevania or Destruction Derby with my thumbs covering part of the screen or without any kind of tactile feedback. Trust me, this thing is awesome with emulators and the controls are just as good as any dedicated gamepad (except for the analog pads(vs. the analog joysticks on the PSX controller) which I don't use anyway...but are supported with the latest FPSE release). I am beyond happy with this device because I'm into classic games and this plays most of them flawlessly (some PSX games have sound issues...check the compatibility guide on the FPSE website. The developer is always updating the emulator to improve compatibility).

The GPS works great using Google Maps...much quicker to lock on than my iphone3g that I used previously.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
If you are a gamer, grab the play.

The battery life is awesome with or without root compared to my old htc phone. I'm have 3g turned off most of the time though, but I'm a heavy brwoser on opera and it will last more then 10 hours

Hey guys, I really need your help.

Long story short, water splashed on my jeans while my HD2 was in there and now it doesn't work. Been drying it in rice for the past couple of days and hoping for the best. However, that splash turned the water sticker under the camera slightly red. Thing is, I didn't know what is was and scratched it off. Now I'm hoping to find a new one. Is it round or square? it's the sticker under the camera after you take the battery out. PLEASE, i would really appreciate some help.!

Hello

I have a captivate running continuum v4 (ecliar/froyo) bootloaders

I have tried Odin 1.3 with the secure.zip to not flash the boot loaders, my phone is recognized in normal mode on both my desktop running window 7 and my laptop running ubuntu 11.04, I can not get either to recognize my cappy in download mode trying odin and windows 7 I get unrecognized usb device I plugged my usb cable directly into the mother board no hubs changed ports no good same error

Tried on my laptop with heimdall and get failed to detect compatible device, I have flashed with odin before to return to stock to change roms with no issues i can not get these computers to see it in download mode I know I am in download mode it says download mode and has the yellow digger guy

any help would be great

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
Holy punctuation, batman!

This may seem like a silly question to ask, but do you have your device in download mode and already plugged in before you open ODIN? If so, it won't detect that way and you need to have ODIN open first before you plug it in. If that doesn't solve anything then try the regular ODIN that does flash bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyzz:
Thanks I did start Odin and heimdall first then I go to download mode ans plug the cable in. I also tried Odin one click and nothing windows does not recognize the USB device

Error happens

I have 4 motherboard USB and tried them all
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
Huh. I'd reinstall the phone drivers along with ODIN and try it again, maybe you got a bad download. If that doesn't do anything, then I can't figure out what's wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyzz:
I will try that funny thing is that is the same machine I have used before to flash and the same Odin one click I've used before my only windows machine all others are Ubuntu Linux also in Linux if you type lsusb it shows the USB devices connected but in download mode it does not show anything Samsung

thanks for your help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan_maran:

I posted this in the general android section, but no responses so I thought I would check here. When using the dock, if one were to take an SD card from a camera with RAW image files (.dng, .pef, etc), would android be able to interpret that? I'm mostly interested in just viewing images on a tablet instead of having a laptop with me all the time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
A fellow Pentaxian, eh? Own a K-5 myself, what're you shooting?

I'm not aware of anything that will touch PEF raw files on Android, yet. (There's a geotagging app, but it does the tagging on a PC, only records tracks on the Android device.)

There are two apps I've seen in development for DNGs:

http://www.anthonymandra.com/RawDroid/

http://www.uwe-software.de/

I've yet to try either, though. Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
Rawdroid handles PEF files just fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Great, thanks for the confirmation. (Don't have my tablet in front of me right this minute, and couldn't find any mention of PEF from the author, only DNG, so didn't want to assume.)

Canon and Nikon shooters also have a couple more options, incidentally:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.holst.nefthumbnailerdemo

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.holst.cr2thumbnailerdemo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
I had to go back to my Samsung GX-1S to find some PEF files since both my K20D's are set to DNG by default. Haven't shot PEF in a very long time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slapnutz:
Sure am! I love being the minority out of the people I know that shoot, with canon and nikon stuff. I have a k-x, but looking to go to a k-5 next year and start teaching the old lady a thing or two about photography so she will get my k-x. I did finally come across RawDroid after a little more digging, so I will definitely look into that once the thrive comes out (not do dis the transformer in any way, but I want a tablet that handles full size sd with no dock).

Once again, more love for canon and nikon....I wonder how many canikon owners know that pentax really started the slr scene.

I successfully have my mt4g rooted, it says s=off in the HBOOT. It allows me to go into the recovery menu, but then if i select anything it freezes and all that's left is an image of the clockwork logo, any ideas on what is going on??

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3p4145:
First of all I should say I am a noob when it comes to this phone and Anroid in general...

So here is my silly question(s):

Currently the T-mobile G2 is rooted but is still running the T-mobile stock ROM

I do have a Full ROM BACKUP

Now I want to try a few ROMs for the phone (mainly to get the latest fixes etc) but i do not want to loose:

- Contacts

- Gmail/Facebook

- Games

- Apps

1. Is there any software that will back all these up and store them on SD so i can move it to PC?

2. Will this work if i have "App2Sd" installed and have some apps running off the SD card?

Titanium Backup

3 more words

pay for it

if you buy the premium version it will save you TONS of time with its one click restore....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
If you have your account set to sync you won't lose contacts or Gmail, Facebook you can just redownload (all your apps will actually redownload when you boot into a new ROM) but for games (I'm assuming you mean saved games) then you would need a backup system.

Like the poster above said, Titanium Backup handles things well just be sure to only restore apps and data as the system files often differ from ROM to ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3p4145:
Thank you guys!!

This is exactly what I was looking for :o)
[Captivate General] super coffee:
Actually, not my phone but a friend's. I was trying to restore it to stock with Odin in order to flash Cyanogen, however Odin was being a real PITA. Through numerous attempts, Odin would refuse to finish the restoration process, often hanging at sbl.bin or Setting PIT file. I tried at least ten times to get it to flash correctly. The final time I decided to let it sit overnight and flash, just in case. When I got up this morning though, it was still hung up. I unplugged the phone and pulled the battery like I had done multiple times the night before, so that I coould give it one last try before I went to work. But this time, the phone wouldn't go into download mode. I had been using the USB and 3 button combo method, but nothing this time. The phone shows no signs of life at this point, and I really don't have anything short of a JTAG left to try on it. Now I have to buy my friend a new phone.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of terrible performance from ODIN? And is there anything other than JTAG I can try. If there is someone out there that can fix it with JTAG, I would also pay money for that. I don't have the soldering skills necessary to fix this thing.
[Captivate General] little8020:
They sell the pre made jigs you can buy, just search for it and you will find plenty
[Captivate General] studacris:
The battery doesn't charge in download mode, the battery could very well just be dead. Pull the battery, reinsert it and plug in the phone to charge it, if all it does is get really hot and never shows any sign of life that is a brick. Check your PM.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Can't really blame anyone but yourself for that one.. If it hung at sbl.bin and you managed to not brick it, you dodged a bullet.

Anyway, sounds like you dodged several bullets and then the inevitable happened. A jig won't help, and you're correct in your assumption that JTAG is your only way out. Fortunately for you, one of our fellow captivaters is still offering (at least to my knowledge) a free JTAG service. You should contact him to see if he'd be willing to restore your device, his name is connexion2005.

For future reference, don't flash back to stock unless you really need to. And when you do, don't flash an image that includes bootloaders. If you have bootloaders that work (3 button combo enabled on 2.2- bootloaders or 2.3 bootloaders), use a non one-click odin with an image that doesn't include sbl.bin or boot.bin; otherwise you're just taking unnecessary risks.
[Captivate General] rmal0:
I got one off eBay for 10 bucks. Probably the best investment I've made as I have encountered about every brick situation you could imagine.
[Captivate General] Superalpaca:
This may sound stupid, but maybe trying to flash GB bootloaders with ODIN(not one-click) could work? Exhausting all options before sending your phone in or having somebody JTAG would be preferable.
[Captivate General] brettchuck:
+1...they are well worth the money if you do any ROM flashing!
[Captivate General] lawbo:
I have same problems before. 3 button combo method didn't work at all. No JTAG at that time.

When you plug your phone to computer, make sure it still can detect "SAMSUNG Android USB composite Device", but not "Unknown devices".

Even I wasn't on download mode or recovery mode, the odin able detect my phone as COM port then I was using Odin3 v1.8. then I put "galaxys-bootloader-JVB.tar.md5" to bootloader since I already have 2.3.3 rom before.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Another "dad, my friend has this problem" thread!?
[Captivate General] Reamer09:
For future reference, use Heimdall and read instructions thoroughly and multiple times. I just started using Heimdall when I made my move to flash gingerbread again when the KF1 ROM came out and I love it. Regardless how well a program works though, it's only as good as the person operating it. There are TONS of people here far more educated than me when it comes to flashing anything, but I have never bricked, or soft bricked even (yet) and I flash a decent amount.
[Captivate General] EricRN:
If all else fails, I did have good luck with Josh @ mobiletechvideos (haven't posted enough times to be allowed to post the link, but he's on youtube. He's also here as connexion2005) he was able to unbrick my phone for $50. The post office does not seem to like to deliver mail from him to me, but I'm typing this on the phone he unbricked.
[Captivate General] suedely:
Josh @ mobiletechvideos rocks!

He unbricked my Captivate!
[Captivate General] megatronisabeast:
There is not a problem with odin! Why do people always say don't use odin because it will brick your phone. You have to use it correctly. Make sure before you even open odin that the computer recognizes your phone and you have all of the correct drivers, etc. installed BEFORE even messing with odin. Also be sure to connect to a usb port that is connected to your hard drive to limit the chance of the computer not recognizing your device.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Your hard drive has usb ports? :confused:

You mean motherboard? ;)
[Captivate General] megatronisabeast:
Yes, the motherboard! Was in the middle of a tech class when I posted that! Guess I can't multi task! Thanks! :)

[Captivate General] kimchi0400:
I've had odin fail a few times in a row on me when flashing gb bootloaders for i897. I had odin flashed countless times on multiple devices and computers. I'm pretty sure Odin isn't foolproof. Not everything can be contributed to pebcak, although the vary majority of problems posted on xda are... :)
[Captivate General] rmal0:
everytime odin has 'failed' for me, it's been a user error on my part. you need to follow the steps sequentially otherwise you have a higher probability of failure/brickage.
[Captivate General] dan_maran:
I honestly think that a lot of information here on XDA is only partial and this will get some into trouble. I know people say "search for it, it's here" and it is but the problem is that 10% of the time the information that someone is looking for is buried in a thread and the other 90% the search results list the same question being asked and answered with "it's here search" or "Did you search??"

There honestly should be posting guidelines, for everyone, I mean people take all the time to write disclaimers why not proper directions? Is there a standard Template? If I'm missing it please feel free to point it out.

For example:

This is a 9000/897/896 based ROM

This ROM needs the following bootloaders: ....

This ROM contains Bootloaders: Yes/No

This ROM will change your product code: Yes/No

This ROM requires a Davlik wipe to work: Yes/No

This Kernel is 9000/897/896 based

blah blah blah.......

If the information is readily and easily available then the amount of "dumb" question should go down dramatically and then there will be a "standard"

But then again it's Android/Linux, being fragmented is half the fun..

[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
By 1080p I mean 1080p.

1080p just means 1080 horizontal lines, displayed progressively (ie. line 1, then line 2, then line 3, etc).

I don't know what you mean by "HP". Never heard of it. 1080p video can be a number of different video formats (mp4, h.264, etc.) and a number of different FPS (24, 25, 30, etc).
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
h.264 is a codec, mp4 is a container. They are different things. Just y 2c :)

I believe blu rays use 1080p high profile and stuff on the web is as well. I would prefer not to convert videos that I don't have to.

Its so hard to find any technical information about the adreno 220. I remember Qcomm boasting how it was 2x the power of tegra. Obviously that is a huge lie, but it would be nice to know what it officially supports.
