Hey everyone

I am currently on Trip's IRIS rom, and even though it is quite brilliant except for the 720p recording. No matter what I do, closing down every process I can, the 720p recording lags like no tomorrow. When previewing AND playing on my PC, it pauses on multiple frames for 5 seconds and then skips onto next ones. Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Get a better SD card?

But it shouldn't be a problem, I have a very basic micro SD card and it doesn't lag or skips too many frames when recording at 720p, and I'm also on Trip's ROM.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasan10:
Nevermind

Never mind people, the camera was by default set to Infinity focus which was beating the living soul out of the hardware. I changed it to Continuous and its working brilliantly.
[Droid X General] rld187:
I have a Droid X that I have rooted using z4 Root. Will I have any problems if I un-root and then download and install Gingerbread? I realize that z4 Root can't root Gingerbread yet, but I was wondering if I could just un-root and then install the update and just wait to re-root it when z4 Root can do it? It seems like people are having issues with the X even though they un-root before they update. Why is this? Thank you all for your time. I appreciate it.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
People usually have problems updating because they have deleted or frozen bloat in their system folder.

If you unroot, and replace any bloat you may have removed, you should be able to update without a hitch.

After you download the OTA Gingerbread you won't be able to gain root again. The only option is two flash a two part prerooted install of .596 Gingerbread provided by Team Black Hat.
[Droid X General] rld187:
Thank you much. I shouldn't have any problem then because I haven't frozen or deleted anything. Is the z4 Root developer going to try to make a version of z4 Root that will root Gingerbread?
[Droid X General] bluxart:
I for one hope so. I want to be on Gingerbread, but the OCD in me wants the OTA. :p
[Droid X General] rld187:
Question- OTA? What does it stand for?
[Droid X General] pool_shark:

[Droid X General] rld187:
I unrooted with z4 Root and did a wipe and a restore to factory reset. I tried to update to GingerBread 4 times but all four times it failed. Somehow, even in the return to factory wipe, ClockworkMod Recovery stays on the Droid X. Why? I think it is the ClockworkMod Recovery that is preventing me being able to update to GingerBread. Do you think that might be the cause? In other words, resetting it to factory condition doesn't really reset to factory condition. How do I fix this? Should I just stay rooted with z4 Root and wait for a way to update to GingerBread from you guys? I'm just not sure what to do. Thanks for your time. I'm running Android Version 2.2.1 with a System Version of 2.3.340.MB810.Verizon.en.US.

Follow the instructions below to return to froyo or upgrade to gb rooted or not.

Check out these links.

Link 1 makes a linux CD that you can use to SBF back to Froyo in about 10 minutes. This is a very easy method to get back to froyo. If you can burn an iso file to a CD then you can do this method.

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html

Then you can use z4root and install pre-rooted GB using the 2 flash method at link 2. Make sure that you use Droid 2 bootstrapper and not Droid X bootstrapper to install the rooted GB.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/

Follow the instructions closely for ensured success. :)

This can all be done in about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your computer skills.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
I have a Vibrant not on contract but under warranty. Its one of the early models with GPS issues that can be attributed to hardware. The best T-mobile will do is swap for a refurb, which they did already and ended up with the same early manufacture date and the same problem.

Since they can't find a late model refurb Vibrant, they now have agreed to swap it for a refub GS4G.

What I know about the GS4G vs the Vibrant is

-- No internal SD in the GS4G. In the Vibrant I had 12 GB internal + a 16GB external that I bought. I guess I will go from 28GB to 16GB with the swap.

-- There is a better chance the GPS will work in the GS4G, at least compared to the 7/2010 Vibrants.

-- The GS4G has a HSPA+ modem compared with the HSPA in the Vibrant. This doesn't matter to me. I use wifi + Clearspot wimax hotspot + T-mobile paygo voice sim.

Are there any other advantages/disadvantages I should know about?

For example

Is the GS4G more likely to get official Ice Cream then Vibrant?

Is the FM radio issue (no FM is USA models) the same?

Recovery 3e on Vibrant makes trouble installing CWM. Same on GS4G?

Is battery usage the same?

Is the wifi the same (2.4 ghz only)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thcnme956:
I upgraded from the Vibrant to the SGS4G, while I really have no complaints and am very satisfied I now know its just a more improved Vibrant but with 4G, a FFC and sadly way less internal space. I'd say go for a G2X or something newer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
same situation

i had the same problems as you did and tmobile let me upgrade from a vibrant to the vibrant 4g. i love the phone and i have no complaints. once you get the phone, root it and flash to bionix or ROM of your choice from the vibrant 4g development threads.

the vibrant didnt have a front facing camera, so you can't really complain that this one is crappy because having one is better than not having one.

the internal space issue is not a problem after the fota fix. you can gert a 32gb card if you need that much space.

i have not had any GPS issues whatsoever. its a great feeling to have the GPS working when you need it.

personally, i think that the battery last much longer than the vibrant. i'm pretty sure that the batteries are different, even though they are are same size. i could have sworn that the vibrant 4g battery has a little more capacity. you may want to verify that. i can go an entire day (16-24 hours) with moderate usage without a recharge.

i do not have an radio problems.

gb is in the works.

once again, i personally love this phone. if you could, get the g2x or sensation, as they are dual core and if you have the free option. if its not free, i would say this phone doesnt really have any faults, especially with the devs coming up with some amazing things.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] allthrottle:
I have a sgs4g on the way to replace my vibrant. I'm hopeful that it won't have the issues my vibrant did so I can enjoy it. The specs show it to have a 10% larger battery than the vibrant, which should cure any battery life issues (my vibrant was always decent on battery). Internal storage is the least of my worries, though it is a downer that it doesn't have the 16gb the vibrant does.

I've had a G2x for nearly 3 weeks now, and I can honestly say I don't recommend anyone to buy it until an update is announced. Horrible battery life, occasional sluggishness for no reason, and the random rebooting. The good news is that it's all software related issues, and the hardware is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kmandel:
Since they are only offering me a refurb, and I haven't seen any g2x or Sensation refurbs on their site, I doubt they would offer me one. At any rate they are not shipping new g2x's apparently due to problems with them.

I'm going to ask about them about the Sensation. though I'm sure they will say no. The hardware looks impressive. Are there any obvious drawbacks? I don't know much about HTC other than they use their own Sense UI which presumably makes it harder to track Google updates. On the other hand how could they be much worse than Samsung on updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] danstheman7:
Right now, Gingerbread GS4G has no CWM.

There's no FM Radio on any US model of Galaxy S from what I know.

Battery is said to be the same, but it'll probably drop if you intend to use 4G a lot.

WiFi is the same.

GPS still has a few issues, but that's a universal Vibrant bug.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Well I got my Play and got Eternal Legacy, which I beat today [Graphics were great, story was terrible, was also too short and lastly the ending was disappointing, or better yet - Non Existent].

So, now I need a new turned based RPG. I have noticed that all the good RPGs [and games generally] are on the Iphone with no android ports.

Can anyone suggest a good turn based RPG. Please don't say emulators, because the PlayStation emulators still can't get the games to run smoothly anyway. It's hard to go back to PlayStation graphics after playing Eternal Legacy.

Someone suggested Golden Sun 2 for Gamboid, however, I tied it and the sound is choppy [just like FPse] and it always restarts after the long text intro right when the characters appear on the screen for the first time.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
Final fantasy 7 works great for me on fpse. Best RPG ever
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
I knew someone was going to come on here and say that..Final Fantasy 7 does not work properly on the Play, that's why there is a bounty on cracking the code of native psx emulator on the Play so that games can be played using it. Final Fantasy 7 on FPse is a miserable experience in terms of audio and it slows down a bit, far from "great." And like I said, after playing Eternal Legacy, or just generally speaking, it's hard to go back to PlayStation 1 graphics. Playstation 2 Fine, 1...nononono....
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
If you don't want to rely on emulation, Symphony of the Eternity looks like a valid starting point, though it's not optimized for the gamepad. However, good stories are hard to find anywhere, and sometimes a further problem lies on bad translations (Zenonia's case).
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Forget those games get fpse and a rom called chrono cross.

If you own the game in the past of course.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Yeah I would def play Chrono Cross, it got a very good review from IGN and I loved Chrono Trigger, once again it's just that FPse has not been able to run ANY game smoothly [ie without sound or graphics problems] so I am a bit reluctant... As for Symphony of the Eternity, I guess I could try that, though it's hard to go back to those sort of graphics after just completing Eternal Legacy.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
Oh by the way symphony of the eterinty is optimized for the play, i was just playing it. It controls with the plays directional arrows etc.
[Xperia Play General] gwaine:
jdz...I know fpse isn't perfect, but the three games I play right now (Nectaris: Military Madness...which is an AWESOME turn-based strategy game, Castlevania:Symphony of the Night, and Destruction Derby) all run flawlessly or next to flawlessly so there are some that are there or really close to perfect. I highly recommend Nectaris if you're a fan of the genre. Playstation graphics obviously but if you can get past that you'll love the gameplay.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
thanks for the reply/advice, will check them out.
[Xperia Play General] Duramajin:
I can't find Eternal Legacy on the android market, am I missing something?
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
There's no slowdowns at all, only slight oddities in the sound, no where near unplayable.

Honestly it's hard to find good new rpg's on any platform.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
You have done somthing wrong to your play then m8 FF7 8 and 9 all run perfect for me with no slowdowm and perfect sound, i let my brother run around coral for a bit in FF7 and his responce was "wow this runs better than it did on the playstation"
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
It's not "optimized" for the Xperia Play so you have to download a version from gamelofts website thats made for the snapdragon processors.
[Xperia Play General] m3dteam:
Two words: Spectral Souls

It got everything, story, graphics, xperia optimized... etc
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
IGN gave spectral Souls a bad review:

http://psp.ign.com/articles/742/742395p1.html
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
It turns out that the bad score was given mainly due to the long and frequent loading moments. If that is not an issue on Android, and it doesn't have to be if they did a good job, then it may make sense. But, man, 10 euro for a ported-to-phone game... it's hard to justify.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
If you read the review they gave it a lower score because of loading issues, which is no longer an issue in the Android version.

The game is pretty good all around. Not spectacular, but still good.

Video of it running on Xperia Play

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQPUyzd63w0
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Holy crap, that's some good music actually! It's getting better and better. Maybe I'll try and give it a try. How much space does it take?
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
On your phone it takes 5.77MB and downloads a gig worth of data to your SD card.

If you are a fan of that style of game play (final fantasy tactics, disgaea) then this game will be right up your alley.

Story-wise so far for me it has been average, not as good as FFT, but it's decent enough. It provides a way to play both sides of the storyline, so that adds to the overall enjoyment.

I didn't mind paying 1200 yen for this game. It shows it has a lot more production value than the average mobile game.
[Xperia Play General] jdz7t8:
What really surprises me is that Android doesnt havent more quality RPGS, I mean mobile devices should be a haven for turned based RPGs because they are actually easy to control with the touch screen. Why is it that more big "well known" RPGs are not on android? Why for example is their a Final Fantasy game on Android? It's on 360 and PS3, so it's not to say that it's an exclusive title to one of the consoles. Come on, esp for a device like the Xperia Play, Sony should be well aware that this device could be the RPG gamers dream come true.

I have had a idea about this for weeks and the soultion

http://www.maplin.co.uk/conductive-pen-33837?tabid=1&criteria=usb&c=so&u=strat15

As This pen is used to re-place broken conductive tracks on circuit boards etc

(for those want to know exactly what its for, read on the site)

my idea is to coat the back of the plastic where the wifi and gsm aerial's make contact with the board to amplify the signal, instead of the little tracks that htc have provided.

But my problem is finding a video showing the camera area removed without damaging it (where the wifi arial is)

I have been in the gsm repair trade for years, and i take this idea from the old nokia 3210's and the aerial's on those which used to just clip of and where the same idea.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i remember someone saying that the heated their phone to remove the cover near the camera (not sure how he did it)

you might want to try the software fix that is already available,many people said that their problem has been fixed after applying the software fix

but if you manage to open it can you report if there is any improvement in the signal attenuation in dbm?(using some app like wifi analyzer)

edit:found a video but how to open the back is not shown...

Hi I've looked at numerous videos,but none show removing the top,and I don't want to heat up my beloved phone!! :eek:

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:

[HTC Desire S] bleach1:
Right i'm now on

coredroid desire s v1.1

radio 38.03.02.11_m (FLASHED SEPERATLY)

and mdj's kernel

I flashed v2 of the wifi fix after installing all of the above (even if the rom all ready instaled it) and i'm happy with result,even in the death grip i have 1 bar and that will do me fine,so no need to open up the phone:)

hope this helps any one out there

Hey,

my gf just got an Ace and as the resolution makes stuff way to large one of the first things we (read I) did was change the dpi from 160 to 140.

Surprisingly this resulted in the dialer app crashing whenever trying to make a call. It's not just the dialpad (DialerTabActivity.apk), although that crashs as well, but also the real dialer (Phone.apk) that just fails.

Anyone got the same behaviour? Any ideas on how to solve it? I haven't experienced such an issue on any other phone. Using 2.3.4 XXKPH firmware.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] AkshayHegde:
Same problem

There is a similar post somewhere here. Yes the dailer crashes and when we googled some say using alternative dailers like dailer one etc works. Im currently using Villian rom 2.3.3 and i tried almost all the dailers out there. IT DOES NOT WORK lol :) Does anyone know a work around to this problem cause for me so far its only the phone apk that crashes

I just came from t-mobile to check out the Sensation and so far i'm pretty impressed but one thing I couldnt seem to find is a panoramic mode for the camera.

I have read about apps from the market that do panoramic shots but I'd rather have the option built in.

It's worthwhile to do the update. But you might have better luck if you download the update.pkg from xda's wiki and doing the update manually rather than relying on Dell. ROM 351 is a good choice.
