DPI is just like the screen resolution you change in windows, the more the screen resolution the sharper the screen looks.

Similarly anything below 200 and less DPI in mobile makes things look smaller as if you have switched to a higher resolution.
[Galaxy S II General] virani_joush:
Can you please attach a screen shots comparing default and the improved dpi?
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
These images were taken in my galaxy i9003

You can see the visible difference between 240 dpi and 200 dpi

Hello

I buy my self new Xperia X8 - locked in UK (O2). But before I try to unlocked, I update it with Foryo v20. Now I want to put unlock code, but I don't find where to write it.

I never try to unlock phone and need some help, please. :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
What do you mean unlock? can you be more specific?
[XPERIA X8 General] Danko:
I mean that I can't use this phone in Bulgaria with other operator.

Is locked for use only with O2.

The problem is that i can't find where to put "unlock code" with Frpyo Rom.
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Hmm can u post the unlock code?

I'll figure it out, since i never tried it.

Sent with love!
[XPERIA X8 General] Danko:
I registered in the site code, but I see no reason to pay for the code if a can't put it - as per their instructions.

I think I found in stalemate position.

I only need to know how to get to the introduction of the code !?

Regards
[XPERIA X8 General] IO ME MEDESIMO:
Is possible have the site url? i need a code for my italian locked x8
[XPERIA X8 General] Danko:
I will try here
[XPERIA X8 General] ferraripassion:
Insert a sim card that is not accepted and turn on the phone.

As soon as you power on your phone, you will be asked to enter the SIM Network unlock pin.
[XPERIA X8 General] Danko:
This happened before the change of the Rom.

Now with Froyo - this option missing, and this is exactly my problem
[XPERIA X8 General] ferraripassion:
You can go to the secret menu and enter the code.
[XPERIA X8 General] nspfdn:
hi, sorry i cant understand engish so much, so i couldnt find my answer on the forum. Can anyone tell me how to unlock x8 sim pin code ( 3 mobile) .thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] tgunator:

I have GingerDX installed, i have change operator, and the unlock code option doesn't appear.

Hi,

Does Samsung Galaxy Ace has Gorilla Glass.? On corning site they have mentioned it has Gorilla Glass, but anyone here can confirm it. Have any users scratched their screen? or any other experiences to share?:) Any using a scratch guard?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] downloadonlyaccount:

Anybody else have an issue where it takes forever to charge the phone? The past few days I've been charging my phone overnight and it's only been hitting 85% and coming to a stop. I'm assuming its 100% but the display is lying to me, but I could be wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] jzmjr:
I have the same issue. Even if I charge the battery on a dock still won't reach past 85
[HTC EVO 3D] trentonite:
Seems like it just sits at 85 for a while, as if it's really 100 and just waiting to drop below 85 to update the status

Battery Issue.....

Having a similar problem. Mine seems to stay @99% it hits 100% rarely . I've tried w/phone on and off (which charge to 98% win I turn on after charging overnite. Went to the Sprnt Store they couldn't find anything or didn't bother to check it out. Anyway they gave me a "Brand New Phone" GUESS WHAT SAME ISSUE Hmmm???. Next Step Will Contact HTC. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
Erm, that's how the phone works.

It charges to 100, then drains to 90, then back to 100, over and over. You're just not pulling it off when it's at 100%. It only sits at 100% for about 5 mins.

As for the 85% thing? That's not something I've seen before... Run it for a few minutes at 85%, see if it drops like normal. If it sits at 85% for too long, it's probably a display bug.
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I am not having the same issue, but didn't want to start another battery charging issues thread. My evo3d isn't charging overnight. I will put it on the charger and it will show charging, but then when I wake up it will either be shut off or at something like 12% . I am (currently) on infected eternity 1.41 no tweaks. Taints kernel oc'd to 1.44. Does anyone have any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] vampirefo:
The kernel is panicking and shutting your phone off, try another kernel or stop ocing your kernel until after phone is charged.

[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
you can also try battery calibration app. shows the batt % and voltage and lets your recalibrate on the fly if your rooted. but yeah the batt will charge and discharge. if it's in discharge phase just unplug it and plug it back in and it'll start going back up.
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
So I bought SetCPU, and set up a profile for charging which is below the normal clock. This seemed to work as my phone charged all the way up last night. Thank you again.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wirelessgirl:
I wonder why HTC did this. My EVO 3D won't charge to 100%, it will only charge to 99%. When I see the green light I thought it was fully charged but see it at 99%, so I leave it on my charging dock. Then I check later and it's down to 96%

This is my 3rd EVO. The previous EVO's did charge to 100%. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try this. What ever your battery stops at unplug the charger and then plug it back in if you guys haven't already. This is what worked for me. Maybe it will for you as well.

Turning off background data? Is it good to keep off for battery? I know if its off I can't use market until I turn it back on, but will every else function? Please give pros and cons thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Background data is needed if you use any widget with updates also. So if you use sayyyy the weather widgets it won't sync, same with email. As far as battery life it will not make too much difference. Most items you use this for are able to be customized to an extended time.

Go in accounts and sync and adjust them. I don't use any facebook twitter or news feeds so I just turn the sync off. It will still update when you open the app.

If you want to save battery life then I suggest turning off Data when you aren't using it. Calls and texts don't use 3/4g so leaving it on only causes the battery to drain because it constantly searches for a signal. Turn data off and hook up to wifi whenever available you'll notice a HUGE difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fierceeagle2003:
Thanks man, so if I'm home on wifi with data off will I still get calls and text or no? Cause I use my phone for business and can't miss calls.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Mobile data has nothing to do with calls or text. It is strictly for internet, market, widgets ect... Today or tonight before bed. Disable data, wifi and gps and leave it unplugged. You'll be amazed at the 5-7% difference. Unless of course you have a wake issue lol.

When I worked at my last job I had no real time to sit on my phone so I walked around with data and gps off unless I needed them and no matter what Rom I flashed I got great battery life.

Edit:

If you get emails for work though remember they won't go through. Neither will MMS.

Did you already try searching for the error code listed, or clicking the links in the error message? The error code states that you have some essential services disabled on your computer that help with the updating of your system. These should be turned on.

Try a Google search for tons of solutions.

i've clicked on the link that the installer provided to me, it directs me to re-download the installer again.

so how is it? any other solution?

btw, do we have to install zune on genuine window?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Not the download button, the microsoft support link, or punch the error code into Google/Bing to get a long list of results and solutions.

clicked on it already, but it just keep on directing me back to download the 2 installer setup that i showed in the pic.

any solution?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
You have update services disabled.

If your Windows is a pirated copy, as you seem to be suggesting,

"btw, do we have to install zune on genuine window?"

you probably have the update services disabled to hide your illegal copy from the Microsoft servers. Unfortunately, you need the update services to install certain windows options and services, like ZUNE.

I suggest you get a legal copy of windows.

but 1 more thing, my bluetooth can't connect / transfer anything to laptop even other electronic device. is it the problem of window again a?

Yes it will. Root is not removed by resetting your device. Try researching for how to unroot your device if that's why you want to do.

Have you found a multi boot loader for any other Android phone? If yes, please tell where it is because I'd love to take a look at modifying it for the X5 / U8800.

There's an earlier thread at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1043898

in which I posted:-

Now that we have Recovery and Overclocker boot images, can we make a menu based bootloader like GRUB that could chainload a chosen OS from a chosen storage device?

In our case, we could choose to load, say, our choice Froyo, Gingerbread, Generic Linux or even a FreedomBox kernel during recovery boot. This from the SD card instead of internal Nand if we choose!

Much less likely to wear out our irreplaceable internal 4gb internal nand storage than all this flashing that we will otherwise be doing.

i am still not sure i want to by the Acer,,, or the Asus..

be honest with me.. why did YOU buy the Acer.

it doesnt have to be Asus vs Acer. it can just be why you got the Acer.

was it the usb port?, the expandable memory? price? (target has them for $399 so i am really tempted.)

so what pushed you over the edge to buy the Iconia ?

i also am still not sure if it cna see dSLR cameras on the USB port to read the images off the cameras memory card so if someone says it works for their dSLR then thats a huge game changer for me.

i own an ipad and its really really a tough choice given the app and game availability on the ipad, but i am an android phone user so i am very familiar with Android.
[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:
USB Full

All the features, mainly usb
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
To be honest, it was down to the Acer or the ASUS for me although I did like the fact the hardware was working at launch (SD slot, USB etc).

While everyone seems to be complaining on the Acer ROM update schedule, or lack thereof, I am happily running a custom ROM (of which there are several now) which is now at 3.2

What drove me to the Acer was it was available when I decided to buy. Otherwise, it would have been a hard choice. But, I think after actually looking and holding the ASUS I would have picked the Acer.

I use it primarily for business (sales) showing customers products by using well bookmarked PDF files, email (I moved my domain over to Google Apps for business and quick lookups while I am on the road (WiFi tether to my HTC phone) so I don't need a seperate data plan.

No complaints.
[Acer Iconia A500] v_lestat:
do either of you own or owned an ipad to give me your thought comparisons outside of the obvious massive App lead that the ipad has?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I got it for free... kinda... I traded some work for it.

I needed an upgrade from the Archos 101 which was only about three weeks old at the time I saw the upcoming Acer. Preordered it from BB.

I still would have gotten the Acer if Asus TF was available. I need the USB. Period. And I don't care about the TF dock feature.

[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Bought mine for simple reasons

I did the stupid thing and did not bother to do any homework before going out and buying my first tablet (apple I pad 2) - returned to the store the next day. Had no idea it had no native flash support (the "solution" was to use Skyfire for crummy flash support).

Went home, did my homework - when it came down to simple price/vs features the Acer Iconia seemed like the best choice - microSd, full size USB port (awesome for me - it works with a USB hub also, I have lots of USB devices).

Not sure we can claim apple has much if any "app lead" over android tablets - and once you consider how many apps are written for the Android phone but run great under Honeycomb as well. Don't feel much of an app shortage here, the Droid market is freaking huge.

All in all, very happy with my purchase.
[Acer Iconia A500] rchrdcrg:
I bought mine largely due to the full-sized USB port as I'm an avid retrogamer, so getting to play emulators with the actual controllers (I have USB adapters for them) on my tablet was pretty much a childhood fantasy come true ^_^.

Anyway, that and I really love the metal casing... it just feels solid and sturdy, not large or bulky at all even though it's the heaviest tab of the bunch. I'm sure in some instances, like holding it up over your head in bed or something, you'd notice the weight, but really, there are no heavy or bulky tablets in this category at all, only those that are impressively small like the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

I will note that Acer is so far the worst at getting updates out, but the community here seems pretty devoted, not to mention there's a ton of cross-developer action as the Tegra 2that all of these share means much of the software can just be transplanted from one brand to another. So, if you're going to root and run roms, software becomes a bit less of a concern. As far as the hardware goes, I love it myself.
[Acer Iconia A500] rchrdcrg:
I replied before reading the whole thread and missed the inquiries into the Apple side of things <insert evil grin>... imma hate me some on Apple, hoo wee. Android is slowly doing to Apple in the mobile market what Microsoft did to Apple in the computer market. What's amazing is that everyone always said Microsoft beat Apple because of developer support, because Windows had all the software, all the games. Now, we've seen the exact opposite, Apple with all of the software goodies and their competitor standing out alone on their OS alone... but what happened this time? Android is proving once and for all that Apple's walled-garden approach, their almost communistic approach to electronics just isn't going to appeal to the masses once they are exposed to the idea of choice, something Android offers in spades. We all want to do whatever we want with our devices... they are OUR devices after all, not Apple's or Samsung's or HTC's or Google's. Apple has made it clear that they intend to impose strict control over their hardware and software, whereas Google has opened the door wide and invited everyone in with a gentle wave. I, for one, after having had (and at the time loved) an iPhone for 2 years, will NEVER buy a single Apple product again.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
I'm not a huge Apple fan at all but in their defense they do have a huge "app lead" and it's not necessarily the number or amt. (though it certainly does have that as well) it's the popularity of the device. The iPad has had hulu and netflix forever and Android is just getting it now. It's not a huge deal but the fact is, apps will almost always hit IOS first, and that IS saying something.

I agree with you though, I don't feel a shortage. I have every app I need (and many I don't, lol) so I'm not worried. With Hulu and Netflix now on 2.2/2.3 and heading soon to 3.1 I can safely say I'm completely happy with my purchase as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
I don't, my daughter and son-in-law do (Ipad 1 & 2). I had enough time to use theirs but to each his own they say.

I like being able to read/write office files (Polaris) and maybe you can do that in the App Store?? I also don't like needing to use iTunes for everything (and maybe you don't?).

Like I said, no regrets on my part.
[Acer Iconia A500] captfx:
If I was going to be torn between devices it wouldn't be between the Acer and the Asus it would be between the Acer and the Toshiba Thrive.

I have the ipad2 32gb 3g Verizon. Stood in line on March 11. It's nice I play w/ it occasionally. I really like my Acer a500 though. It does more than the ipad can. Imo the Acer is a better machine.

I have the Nikon d3100 dslr. Both tablets will display the jpegs. I pop out the SD card and use a card reader, in the Acer, or the adapter, in the Apple, to access the pictures.

Also, starting tomorrow, the Acer is $350 at Target ($399-50gc).
[Acer Iconia A500] MrBoingy:
Like most people, full size USB. All Android tablets are pretty much the same... this had full size USB so easy choice.

However, if I had to make a choice now, it'd be a bit harder cos the Tosh Thrive has it as well but that looks massive! But you can get it in pretty colours.. oooh!

edit: Oh, I also see it has a full size hdmi! I've already broken 2 micro-hdmi cables on the Acer cos all u need to do is put a tiny bit of pressure on the cable and the end snaps off!
[Acer Iconia A500] Torisen:
For me it was all about the SD expandability, if I had known about the Toshiba Thrive, I probabbaly would have waited. It's not all about micro-weight and thickness with me. Acer tab has micro SD up to 32 G, Toshiba has full SD up to 128 G I believe.
[Acer Iconia A500] tdn327:
has anyone compare this acer iconia a500 to the viewsonic gtab, which have similar hardware. only difference is the older android 2.2. it has usb and hdmi and etc... i am debating between the two. also gtab aonly cost 260 buck at amazon
[Acer Iconia A500] rchrdcrg:
As far as the gTablet goes, the software isn't a concern since roms for all of these Tegra 2 devices are becoming plentiful and easy to install, so finding 3.0 or 3.1 on the gTablet is likely a piece of cake. Now, as far as the SCREEN goes :eek:...

The aspect ratio on the gTablet is just off... everything is squished just a little, so round things are slightly ovular, squares are slightly rectangular... I got a Pocket eDGe off of woot a while back and it was the exact same way. The screen on the gTablet is also off-center with that thick-ass bezel along the bottom. Personally, I originally wanted a gTablet until I saw that screen, but if you can live with it and wanna run a custom rom, it's the cheapest way to get a Tegra 2 tablet, and it even has a full-size USB port on there, which was one of the reasons I'd originally considered it. As for how it feels in the hand, I played with one and it feels like a cheap Xoom... similar thickness and feel to the edges, but obviously a lower (though acceptable) build quality. I still think the way my Acer feels in my hands is the best of all those I've tried, including the Xoom and Galaxy Tab 10.1 (oh but the GTab 10 is f-ing sexy... my bf has that one). If you can afford the Acer, I'd still say go for that one, but if money is your primary concern and you're not bothered by the screen, go for it. Just remember, the screen's resolution is slightly lower (1024x600 vs 1280x800 on the rest), and there's only 512MB RAM in there vs the 1GB the others have... also only a front facing cam, none on the back, but I never take pics with my tablet anyway... that's what my phone is for. Otherwise, it's Tegra 2 all the way... it's definitely worth what they're going for these days, but so is the Acer even though it costs more.
