[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wyn6:
That would depend on if MS wants to support a rival gaming platform. Possibly, if they wanted to draw more people into the phone and thus the ecosystem, picking up new xboxers along the way.

Possibly not if the benefits/profit/new users versus the detriments are not heavily weighted toward the beneficial side. But many who own the PS3 also have an Xbox. I, personally, have neither. But, if I ever bought one, it'd be an Xbox. I'm just not gonna pay $500-$600 for a video game console (PS3).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessiethe3rd:
I don't think there is anything stopping someone from creating an app but as far as native support I believe there is no chance in hell it's going to happen. This is about ecosystems and Microsoft has their own.

Eventually as WP7 gains traction Sony will have to address it with some type of App. I wouldn't expect gaming integration with PS3 because XBL is deeply rooted in.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderintruder:
I think he meant the PlayStation Suite App, just like the one for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android. The only thing the app does is let you see who's online and what are they playing, some news, blogs, and media stuff.

It depends on either Sony and Microsoft whether they should build an app for WP7, but the PS Suite app you see on iPod/iPhones doesn't let you play PS games, its rather like a social app, so Sony might develop one for WP7 and Microsoft might approve it as well since it will less likely/have no affect on gaming on WP7.

Just think of it as the IGN app on WP7.

[Galaxy S II General] holydire:
Hi there,

Is there a guide available for the SGS2 camera? i received my device with no guide of the camera and I really want to know about "beauty shot", "action shot" (which im having a hard time getting useful shots with) and "outdoor visibility" which seems to brighten up the screen but not the resulting image.

anyone can shed some light onto those features and maybe post decent "action shots" made by him?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Have a read through the attached manual. It does talk about the camera modes that you mentioned, as well as lots of other stuff.

Hope it helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] holydire:
thanks alot man!

i still would love to see some "action shots though" from other people :-)
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
"Action shot" just means high shutter speed to freeze action, it's also called "sport mode" on some point 'n squirt cameras... Not always the best way to shoot action actually.

Outdoor visibility is so that you actually have a chance to see the screen when taking pictures in bright sunshine for example, it doesn't change the picture.

I just wish they'd put fully manual controls too, I hate using the pre-set modes...
[Galaxy S II General] holydire:
you are not right here my fried.

action shot is some kind of a panoramic shot (am i confusing options here?) that involves the camera tracking an object across a certain area while it is moving.

it also takes a few shots and not just one.
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
Ok so high shutter speed combined with multiple shots and possibly some kind of focus tracking (though that last bit would surprise me in a phone camera - will check it at some point!) As I've said, I'm not a fan of pre-set modes, they never quite do what I want! I'm a photographer btw so I'm just used to shooting in manual, including motorsport, I'm not sure I even know how to put my cameras in auto lol

Edit: actually it *is* different to the sports mode (which is under "scenes") - my bad. Not quite proper focus tracking though, you have to follow whatever it is that is moving and then it combines the shots into a single picture :) quite clever really. Will have to try it for fun though my usual test subjects (the cats!) are asleep right now.

Edit 2: had a play... it's a bit weird :p you take the first shot, then follow the subject and the camera takes more pictures as and when 1) it has decided that you've moved enough (like with the panorama mode) and 2) thinks that whatever you're following is in focus (it failed a bit on that point tbh). That's what I don't like about auto-stuff... camera decides when it should do something, which isn't necessarily when I want it to do it. It is quite fun though. More testing needed :D have all day free tomorrow so will do it then
[Galaxy S II General] Isadora:
Right, best result so far... Not great tbh, I've found that if the object moves too slowly, pictures don't get taken because the camera doesn't realise it should; if the object moves too fast then the focus is a bit hit and miss. Then when it does manage to do what it should you have the problem of [ insert swear word of choice] auto exposure so in the attached pic you can easily tell where the pictures are joined.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimas.94:
Hello, so as I stated in the title, I want to flash a custom rom to my X1, I have already installed HardSPL, .72 version, and tried to flash an Energy rom.

The SDCard method won't work, I get the "Image file not found" with my card, and the same error but with some red letters appearing on top of the screen with the other 2 cards i tried. I tried to use KovskyAdvancedRUU to task28 (flash the phone regularly) and as soon as it gets to 1% I get the "Invalid Model ID" error.

Any ideas? Seriously, I don't know if this has been answered before but I have been searching for days and found nothing.

I will be really grateful if someone can provide help, and really sorry if there's already an answer on this.

My already installed rom is WM6.1, stock, Greek.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techno79:
How easy is it to read PDFs on the tablet where you're viewing it a full page at a time? (PDFs that are designed to be printed on A4 sized paper or technical book sized paper).

I've got a ton of ebooks, manuals and other such documents in PDF format. I would love to use the Tablet as a PDF reader but only if it can be comfortably read while viewing a whole page at a time. I don't want to be doing any zooming/panning around the page.

Just to clarify, this is when holding tablet in portrait mode. Also, assume the PDF pages are like that of a typical technical book.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itaintrite:
Depends on the PDF no? One with large margins and tiny text won't be as legible as one with bigger text. But I find most PDFs look good in portrait mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehighhat:
I bought the GT 10.1 primarily for reading tech docs. It works very well for this purpose, but a few things to note:

An letter sized page is a bit small. But after zooming (Acrobat PDF, or QuickOffice) in to eliminate the margins, it is still smaller than normal, but only slightly.

An app that automatically cropped margins and allowed inverted image would be perfect. I have not found one yet.

Landscape mode is effectively same size (width) as letter. So 100% reproduction, but you do have to scroll.

Long story short... You gonna have to do a SEUS repair and start all over, you shouldn't be messing around with the system folder, especially when you are changing permissions. Did you make backups? If not, let this be a lesson and start making backups. Do you have xrecovery installed?

EDIT: I looked at the app you tried installing and you should set /system/apps/"whatever the app is".apk to 664. Not the folders, just the apk... catch my drift?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Satch09:
Have you used SEUS yet? It's the same steps as upgrading your phone except you must chose to install the FW even if it tells you that your phone is up to date.

Download it: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...bject/updateservice/xperiax10mini?cc=gb&lc=en

follow the steps and let me know if theres problems

Then once you have your newly flashed phone up and running, download Bin4ry's flash tool:

http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G

Connect your phone with debugging active and click "Root"... the phone will reboot, then once the flashtool sees that the phone is connected, click "Ask Root Permissions" look on your phone and allow the SU request then click "Install xRecovery". You can also use it to enable JIT and remove useless system apps.

Good luck and if theres a problem let me know :D

The weird thing is i log into my account as per normal on my PC and username / password is fine.

I checked my mobile settings in my account and the correct device is listed.

Also same issue trying to access the market place - does not match, so now i cannot install any apps through the market :confused:

Well a re - flash did not work.

Also did another system reset - did not work ,.

But all is well ! What i did in the end was change my password online with my PC and turned off that 2 step verification method. Signed in with my Phone and -

Its all working again.

Dont know why it stopped in the first place though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Haha!

sorry I have to laugh. If your using 2 step verification then your standard gmail password will not work on any third party applications including your android phone. You have to go to setting on your google account (on a pc) and tell it to authorise a new application, remove any you have already for your phone, and add a new one.

It generates a one-off use 15 character password. You need to do this each time you flash a new rom if your using 2-step.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I don't have this problem, and have never had it, but you've sparked my curiosity since I've never heard of that. I assume it's an optional method of authenticating your google account, but that's obviously a guess.

I've had a look at my google account settings and can't see anything that appears relevant. Where are the settings for this?

hello everyone on XDA-Developers

i recently bought a Viewsonic Viewpad 7, i really like the tablet, but yet it annoies me alot due to i can not install flash at all!, i have tried every diffenent methord to try and install flash on the tab, everything from the offical market, the adobe website (both which when i try and download the file for it, says that the page is unavalable, basiclly means its blocking me) i have tried installing as APK files, diffnenent markets, rooting the tablet, everything! but i am still unable to install flash player on to the tab. i have read online that their was ment to be an offical version of it going to be released for it, but due to some legal issues or something they stopped it, even though they finished development for it. so i am wondering if anyone has been able to install flash onto the view pad 7 through some methord, like i have the tablet rooted incase it will require a methord being done through that, but yet i have currently tried evvery methord i have thought off and researched about. if anyone can help, please do, like i would not mind that if their was a app which can play SWF files without adobe flash that i could download from somewhere. like all flash operners require adobe flash to run, so they are abit silly.

anyways, i hope someone can help me then, i really do not want to get a diffenent tablet, like i really like the viewpad 7 compared to the others i have tried.

Want this specific model with digital TV.

Anyone can help me to find one?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Unlocked, from DoCoMo, the cost would be approx:

3000 contract fee

3000 unlock fee

9800 contract cancellation fee

60000 handset cost

= about 75,800 yen or somewhat over USD900
[Galaxy S II General] Sharpshooterrr:
Does the Korean version not have this Digital TV?
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
No, the SC-02C tuner is one-seg ISDB-T (used in Japan, Philippines, and most of South America). The TV tuner in the korean models is for a different broadcast standard (T-DMB).
[Galaxy S II General] Sharpshooterrr:
Any idea where we can buy one online? Without having to be physically present at the DoCoMo store.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
DoCoMo shop or secondhand (mainly Yahoo Auction or Rakuten) are the only options. Only official source is via the carrier.

You can order online here but you'd still need to be physically present in Japan.
[Galaxy S II General] SnMSlrC:
grr! that makes me mad.. i was in a Docomo shop for 45 mins waiting in line then when it was my turn, they gave me a phone so i can speak to someone who knows hot to speak English (apologize for not knowing Japanese)... then she tells me i cant buy the phone by itself with no contract.. she says i need to start one..:(
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Technically they can't sell you a no-contract phone but what you can do:

1. Establish new contract (3,150 yen, choose SS Value plan with Hitori demo, SP-mode, and the Pakehodai Simple data service for simplicity (make sure to turn off data service before they set the phone up so you don't get charged for background data before the cancel is processed))

2. Buy handset, full retail price (59,598 yen)

3. Unlock handset (3,150 yen)

4. Cancel contract (9,800 yen penalty plus maybe 1 month of service fee, don't know if its charged if you cancel it first day)

All the steps can be done immediately one after another.

Your cost should be 75698 plus possibly 1295 if they charge you the full month rate for the one day.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
You cannot flash Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs with MAGLDR.

On your PC, you should install Windows Mobile Device Center to get the correct USB drivers. Then, you should flash first the official TMOUS ROM to delete what´s on your device, re-flash HSPL (using HSPL3 or HSPL4) and then the custom ROM you want.

This way, old stuff incl. MAGLDR any maybe a wrong Radio ROM will be gone.

For all you need to do, please check the stickies in the ROM thread (how to flash your first custom ROM etc.).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayyu3m:
Man. You are lucky all those flashing with MAGLDR didnt really screw your phone for good.

Here is an eye-opener and best method in my opinion you shud follow.

1- Find the original ROM for your HD2 (This is easy using your serial number located under the battery). Google for T-Mobile ROM update and eventually you will be in T-Mobile Update site.

2- No luck in step 1? No Problem. Just read the sticky on how to install HSPL 2.08 by Cotulla. Then install the radio version 2.15.50.14.

DONT FLASH ANY RADIO WITH THE VERSION 2.15.5X.14 (X being equal to any number) In plain ENGLISH...dont flash a RADIO with 51. Only flash with 50 for TMO HD2

3. Now reboot your device in Bootloader mode and install any Windows ROM you want. Just steer clear of MAGLDR and flashing until you have proper knowledge and patience. Else you might end up with a dead HD2

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
You could seriously damage and brick your phone flashing a non-US ROM onto your device. Why didn´t you check the ROM threads more carefully? Or the hint the previous poster gave you?

Maybe the fact you don´t get the driver thingy right saved your HD2.

And also, did you try flashing from the normal bootloader then? Another option would be to use the SD card method.

But then again, this would require some reading from your side. If you don´t like reading, you shouldn´t start flashing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenshin1870:

Did you know how can i get a official rom that come with a higher spl version and be exceted from booloader or magdlr??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Where from did you get the bootloader version information? As far as I remember, that is the version which comes from WP7. Strange, somehow.

Original Windows Mobile ROMs cannot be flashed via MAGLDR at all.

You must enter the standard bootloader, which is loaded *before* MAGLDR.

To do this, turn off your device, turn it back on pushing vol. down and power on at the same time - * and keep them pushed* until you see the multicolor bootloader screen. In this screen, you should be able to read what SPL version is on your device.

I do again recommend to flash an original ROM via SD card method (using a 2GB, FAT32 formatted card), please check here for the how-to. The ROM should be available here (be careful not to flash a test ROM, but a stock ROM!).
