Seriously?? Thats it? Man believe it or not being one of the company having most of android shares Sony is lagging behind in hardware as well as in software ... Just photos are out which are still not confirmed by Sony whereelse companies like samaung, Lg already got dual core .. Shame Sony you are just losing your fans ..i have been using Sony mobiles since 5 years used many mobiles but now I have to think before buying Sony..
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Wow, that looks sexy. Altough I know it isn't official I like it. I also hope that the 4.5 inch will go to 4.3 inch or lower. It's to big! Defintely my next phone. It something ''original'' instead of copied.
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
Top part does look like a HTC, whole thing looks fake.

What are the chances of Sony Ericsson using ST-Ericsson processors for their upcoming dual core phones? Apparently the U8500 and the NovaThor Processors are pretty powerful and very power efficient.
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
Looks ugly.

I have always hated how SE moved the 'XPERIA' wording from below the LCD screen (X10) to below the hardware buttons (Arc), it just doesn't look right.

The proportions of the 'Duo' look messed up.

Submit it to SE. Who knows?! Looks very nice.
[XPERIA X10 General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Wow!that's cool!how many months have past since the arc is out?now we are getting a new xperia!!haha SE is getting really ridiculous! Would be better for them if they recall the arc totally and keep investing on the x10 till this "duo" is coming out! I foresee a really short lifespan for the arc!

Hopefull it will come in April 2012, because I just ordered the Arc and want it to be SE's flagship device for almost a year...
[XPERIA X10 General] innov:
whoever design this, they better sent this design back to drawing board or facing the consequences of low sales for this phone :D

If this is to be x8 segment price I still can understand, but for dual core flagship smartphone, it made lg optimus 2x looks like a state of the art design.
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
I think the design is pretty good. I mean how many ways can you design a phone that's basically made up of entirely of a touch screen? There is a new pic going around with the Duo right next to the Arc that can be found at the bottom of this link:

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/new...-preps-a-dual-core-smartphone-xperia-duo.aspx

From the looks of things, it might still have an "arc" form factor.
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
Its looking pretty decent from the front wonder how the back looks and it seems to be solid from the pics im looking. I mean it could have been worse!
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
I agree. We need to see the back of it to make the decision on whether or not it looks ugly. I'm hoping it doesn't follow the htc battery cover design choices....
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
They need to get rid of hardware buttons and use capacitive

Sup, i was blogging and i found this picture i can't remember the blog where i took it sorry :confused: i think it is more probably to be duo 2 or something but is this thing real??.

[XPERIA X10 General] unknown13x:
I'll just warn you guys that don't let the word Duo take you off track ;) Keep your expectations low please
[XPERIA X10 General] Lovrium:
Anything else then a Dualcore device would be a real disaster!

I don`t believe that SE would do that. They all are coming out with

Dualcore so why wouldn't SE do it with a phone called DUO?

It`s Dualcore, 99,99%
[XPERIA X10 General] sopdogg:
Low expectations?!

How much lower should we expect? Should we be thinking Xperia Arc with a bigger screen and front facing camera? Duo = Dual cameras? I hate to speculate but...ummmm.....is SE continuing it's trend on being visual trendsetters but technologically behind the curve?
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
1. It looks ugly.

2. It's a whole new hardware set = a whole new nightmare.

3. I have no trust that SE will be doing the right thing since i got the x10 "that has proven that"

4. Dual core or not i CBF. it's a SE phone... not smart phone "they have no idea what smart means"
[XPERIA X10 General] frankie99969:
it cant be dual cameras, seeing as neo and others already have that, if its not related to processor im lost, dual sim maybe? in any case my upgrade is coming up and i need a phone to at least wait for from se or il be forced elsewhere
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Its obviously dual core since every other company has dual core phones announced. But it looks like a bigger xperia arc. The arc was sexy yea but the look is played out and honestly looks rubbish now.
[XPERIA X10 General] teslavio:
I'm very keen on switching to Arc from HTC but will hold off for dual core release. Reading other owners experiences here it is obvious that Arc needs more power, more memory and more battery. Hopefully Sony will address all 3 issues in Duo.

What the heck...????

rumours about specs... these are unbelievable

-4.5 inch screen (that is really big)

-screen resolution(720p) (1280x720) ( definitely beats i-phone)

-super amoled+ screen ( its better than super amoled)

-processor will be clocked really high ( may be 1.2-1.5 ghtz)

-Ram obviously is 1.5GB

-camera is ....12Mp ( some different technology) ( capable of making 1080p vids)

-battery (2500 mAh) more than any phone had yet

-gingerbread or ice-cream sandwich...??? yet a doubt
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Let me correct you.

1.5GB of RAM

1.5 GHZ dual-core processor

12MP Camera

qHD screen with Bravia Engine

Give me link to a official source and I will believe you.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Just some simple math here.

The x10 burns thru it's 1.5A battery in about 3 hours using 3G

So if the Duo's radio is anything like the X10's radio and it's using a 2.5A battery.

That would = about +-5 hours of battery life using 3G.

But then we also need to compensate for the dualcore usage so i would say about 4 hours 30 mins tops.

Wow, what's wrong with your phone? If I'm on my phone with 3g or wifi CONSTANTLY loading something I get a good 8 hrs out of it. If I'm leaving it in my pocket and only using it as a phone I get several days between charges. Something is eating your battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Go find a location with low signal "1 to 2 bars" ENABLE 3G.

Now imagine that signal is almost everywhere you go.

First phone i ever had that does this.

Now imagine your other phone says 5 bars and is right next to you.

Now imagine going to a SE service center 5 times.

Wi-Fi is not the issue.

[XPERIA X10 General] Hzu:
GSMArena, if I'm not mistaken, said its going to be 1.4GHz. The gpu is the a combination of Exynos and Snapdragon(the one used in Sensation). Not sure if this had been posted in this thread but what will be named for the gpu, and plus, if they really do that, its gonna be a beast.
[XPERIA X10 General] exsulis:
I've used my X10 in mountainous regions with 1 bar, and it lasted a day before it died.

Yes, it would bounce between Edge, 3g, and H. And most of the time I would have zero bars but it would connect, and notify me with txt msgs when it would reconnect.

The main part that burns power is the screen, and that is usually 60% of my phone's drain.
[XPERIA X10 General] leo5111:
compareing the xperia x10,s battery life to the xperia duos,s is impossible to do, because the duo, will be based on newer tech, so who knows what the battery life will be? no one knows untill some review site gets a hold of one and posts their findings :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Athir13en:
may i hav quad core pls...
[XPERIA X10 General] viulian:
Unless I am mistaken, even if you put quad core on the phone, the animations won't match the ones from iPhone for example, due to Google choosing not to implement GPU acceleration for the UI. Even existing S2 lags and has the 3 seconds wake up delay.

But anyway, since there's not much they can add to Android itself, the producers will have to fight on 'hardware' level. I'd like better cameras though...

I like the 3.6 revolution, can anyone show the way to flash.need someone who can advise.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
probably best to odin to 2.1 but can do it without

go to recovery

wipe data/factory reset

clear cache

flash 3.3 first and reboot

then flash 3.6 straight away with the CWM app as an update (no need to wait 10 min or whatever)

let it do its thing then your good to go :)

he's releasing an update sunday (3.8) so could just wait till then

same way if you dont have bootloaders

3.3 there if you need it then flash light/med/large through rom manager
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyyew:
i dont understand your reply :-

3.3 there if you need it then flash light/med/large through rom manager

is it i can choose light or med or full package rom

or

flash light rom first then med rom then full package rom?

sorry for asking.

then do i need to disable lagfix before flashing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:
when i did it the light had to be flashed first but i think you can just flash whichever now

could always flash the light first anyway then whichever over just incase, it wont wipe :)

you can leave voodoo on but i disabled it just to be sure

he put 3.9 on last night but pulled the DL link because people were having problems, think hes going to put it back tonight :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mugiey:
Since last night (maybe even the night before) I've been experiencing service problems with my HTC Inspire. It'll recognize I have a SIM card at times, and then It wont. I rooted my phone following this thread (specifically this video) I've had my phone rooted for briefly a week and after I finished that video, I left it at that and didn't follow the next video on how to flash a custom Rom. Any ideas on why this problem is occurring?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
The downgrade rom is an older Desire HD rom that is used for the purpose of rooting. It really doesn't play nice if you leave it on the phone. You need to flash attn1's updated stock rom and radio from the developers forum if you want to stay stock rooted. Otherwise, just flash a custom rom and matching radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well apparently he used bubby's simple root, which if he at least followed that through to completion, meaning the stock rooted ROM got pushed to the phone, then he shouldn't be on the downgraded ROM.

OP...

Under settings > about phone > software information > baseband, what number is specified?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Hmmm. I'm not sure what rom the one click leaves you with, but the hack kit left me with a pos Desire HD rom that obviously didn't belong on the phone. I had to go somewheres between the time I rooted and flashed my current stock rom, so I got to play with it a bit. Mms didn't work, it wouldn't allow me to setup email, and, despite connecting to wifi, it wouldn't open web pages. Mobile internet did work, but the speeds were horrid. After booting it took forever to get a signal. Idk if this was the downgrade rom used to get root or a different rom flashed afterwards, but to me it was still a downgraded rom regardless. Once I flashed attn1's stock rom, it was all fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] biglittlegato:
The Rom installed at the end of Bubby's method is very usable. It seems like a stock Rom. I didn't notice anything missing, but I didn't use it that long.

Sent from my Inspire using the power of the dark side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol.

That ROM was never intended to be left on the phone. It shouldn't have been some mystery needing to be solved, as from what I recall, it pretty clearly tells you that a new ROM needs to be flashed to restore the Inspire to a fully functional state.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
It is usable and it is stock... Rooted stock with the shipping radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Yes, I do recall it saying something along that line. I just didn't expect it to be that non functional. I was hoping to use it for a few days until I made a final decision on what rom to flash. Fortunately, I came across attn1's rom later that day. I do recall when researching Bubby's one click method, it stated it would take you back to stock. I just wasn't sure if it was meaning stock Inspire or stock Desire HD.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaikokujinkyofusho:
This is kinda a two'fer post. One part about the HTC desire's upgradability/speed and second part about Android/HTC desire abroad.

Upgradabiloity:

I currently have a HTC Kaiser and while it was pretty sweet at the time (hardware still is, albiet always kinda slow) i have kinda hit a wall in terms of OS upgrading for the obvious reason that winmo stopped at v6.5 but also speed, it's somthing between glacial and turtles-stampeding-through-peanutbutter so even if there was a v6.6 it would be painful. So, how is the Desire Z in terms of speed now and what does its future look like for future releases of android? Should i perhaps wait for something like the doubleshot? (or some other dual-core android/qwerty phone) or will the Desire Z last me say 3 years? (educated guesses welcome)

Abroad (admittedly more general android than Desire specific):

I live and work outside of the US about 10 months a year (most of my time abroad) so I need a phone that is good for travel. I have found posts about using different carriers etc abroad but not so much about using various android (google) services outside the US, things such as google voice and maps. Having a unified number or even a US number for forwarding would be very useful and google maps is great but seems to not be as useful outside of the US and I am sure there are some other services I am missing. So how useful is Android abroad compared to using in the US (Also considering the only other phone i am considering is the iPhone v4 (always though iPhone was a bit limited hardware wise though) so it may be the case that these services aren't useful outside the US but iphone services would be equally as usful(less) outside the US.

Thanks in advance!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regius:
I used to have a Kaiser long time ago. It was a great device. While the vision is definitely an upgrade in terms of speed, display and even usability , if you haven't got it yet you should wait a couple of months (probably) for a dual core slider.

However, I got my desire z 2 months ago and I'm very happy with it. The move from Winmo- HTC Raphael - to Android wasn't too painful. I didn't have the guts to root it yet as it seems it's a little more complicated than flashing a custom winmo Rom, and I am still reading the forums to make sure I don't mess up when I start fiddling with ADB and the other stuf. Even unrooted and with stock sense rom the Desire Z is very capable as a mobile office.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedkunich:
I've noticed this a few times now and is starting to get annoying - my phone occasionally forgets what application I have set as the default. Examples: Choice Dialer vs native voice dial, LauncherPlus vs HTC sense, Stock browser vs Opera. This is most annoying with the dialer, as I constantly use Bluetooth voice dialing and always have to fish the phone out of my pocket while driving to either re-enable the default app or just manually dial - kinda defeats the purpose of voice dialing.

This is an unrooted Aria with the ATT Bloatware enriched 2.2.2 software.

Has anyone seen this before? I have not updated any of the aforementioned software recently, so it puzzles me that the OS would forget that I set a particular program as a default.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
Not sure if this is your problem but everytime you install a new app that can be set as a particular default it will reset your defaults. e.g. if you have launcherpro as your default home and you install adw launcher, your phone will remove your home app default and you are forced to re-set it.

Sent from my cm7 Aria.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedkunich:
Yep, I'm aware of that nuance, but that is not the case here - no apps were installed in the intervening period - specifically, having LPP "losing" its default status and being prompted to use it or Sense happened overnight with nothing going on in between. I have never used or downloaded any other bluetooth dialer as Choice Dialer works extremely well for me and have no reason to change - it is an app that routinely "loses" its default status.

Just a strange quirk that has been mild annoyance - it will all go away once I root this phone and ditch Sense all together.

Thanks,

T
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I think simply updating one of the apps from the list will cause this to happen as well. If you aren't even updating any apps when it happens then I don't really have any clue what's going on. Could be some poorly written app you have installed that keeps resetting it? Dunno.
