[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Seriously just found it today (after reading an article that says its $50 on there), I gave it a shot and if you do a new VZW contract or do it as an upgrade the phone is $0.01 . Of course I STILL can't get it because my upgrade isn't for another month and no matter how much I ask VZW to do it early they won't (my Motorola Droid's keyboard is literally falling off as the glue holding the keys on melts from the heat of the processor, I tried gluing back on with no luck it melted away).

I'm sure this deal will still be around then but I'm getting antsy, and picking my keys up off the ground is annoying.
[Xperia Play General] JasonKnight:
On a side note, the earliest that VZW will let you upgrade early is 1 week before your upgrade date.
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
Try and ask them that if they can hold the offer price for you when you upgrade in a month.

My carrier had an offer that saved 380~ dollars plus the savings from contracts, and it only lasted a week. Good thing my brother and I got ourselves brand new phones each ;)
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
My courier let's you upgrade 4months in advance if you threaten to cancel the contract and resign with another company. Maybe that's what you should do.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Spoke to them today and they are giving me an early upgrade (good news) but I need to do it at the VZW store (bad news). VZW currently has it for $99 which is still a good deal (and I will probably get a $30 credit bringing it to $69) but to get it for a penny would be better. I'm going to call Amazon in the AM to see if they can see it on my account and do it for me, otherwise I'll head to the store and see what I can do. Considering how annoying the keypad screwing up on my droid is I may just eat the cost to have it a month earlier than planned.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Just to give an epilogue to this story, Amazon would not do the early upgrade (I don't blame them, it wasn't their authorization). Went to the VZW store, paid $150 with a $50 mail in rebate, no new every 2 credit (would have had to wait till Sept) so I lost $30 there, then sold my OG Droid to a recycler for $61 so my net cost is $39.

If I had waited I would have gotten the phone for a penny and made back the phone recycle cost (however I noticed those fluctuate a lot so who knows if I would have gotten $61 in a month, It was $80 2 months ago!). So really my net cost could be more, but my old phone was pissing me off to no end, so the price and the fact I'm having a blast with this phone already made it worth it.

PS I almost walked away from the deal because of the difference in price but realized in a month I don't even know if this phone will be available. They literally had 1 in the store, covered in dust and the Verizon guy said hes never even had anyone ask about the phone let alone buy it.
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
I bought my XP from Amazonwireless for $50, renewed my 2 year contract several months ahead of time

Amazon wouldn't let me do the purchase until I called VZW and told them I wanted a new phone and would get it through Amazon. My contact/every 2 wasn't over until 10/15/2011 or so. I called VZW, they lifted the resitriction and I purchased the phone from Amazon for $50. All I told Verizon was that I was going to get a new phone and renew my contract, I guess it helps that I'm a 10+ year customer.

Then I sold my OG Droid with GPA15 on ebay for $120. :D
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Hmm I've been with them for 10+ yrs as well, but they wouldn't budge on that. You must be more persuasive than me. Ohh well, for $39 I can't complain.
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
true, a deal is a deal

They did this for me when I purchased my Droid from Amazon a few years ago also. I'm not aggressive or anything when I call, I just bring up a few facts (never late, long time, renewing) and they cut me some slack.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Ok cool well at least now I know for next time I will definitely try this approach, I don't recall that i specifically mentioned that I wanted to buy through Amazon. Well anyway I have 2 years until I can do anything about it, but I will definitely try it then. Hopefully we have the "Play2" by then...

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyboards:
Gave the one touch root program a try, and after it said it had pushed busybox psneuter etc. the phone never booted into the bootloader. So I deleted the IMG that was pushed to the SD card. Now to try this again, do I have to delete the busybox, psneuter etc.? or can I just run the process again from the beginning? If I have to delete them, where can they be found?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Not to sound like a weenie, but is there a reason you're not doing it using jcase's guide? It tends to really eliminate the guess work when something goes wrong. And something did go wrong. I can tell you from experience not all guides or "one click" scripts work right. You shouldn't need to delete anything. Pushing the same files will just copy over them. If you try again, use the ADB method by jcase. It's not that hard, its easier to trouble shoot, and you can easily get support right from the dev on IRC if you have an issue. If you've got any questions about it, I'll be happy to answer them if I can.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kschwarz88:
Used the search function before asking btw...

So now that we have these Sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid roms out there, we've been getting things pretty stable. Problem is for me, I can't find a rom with a pure 2.1 lockscreen with call answer screen that works. Most of the roms (if not all that I've found) have the 3.0 lockscreen with the 3.0 answer screen.

I'm comfortable with swapping files and APK files around in zips, however I'm not sure which to pull and from what roms?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Try grabbing htclockscreen.apk from newt's incredible 2 rom. That's pure sense 2.1

Hi!

Does Wildfire get the bootloader unlock as well from HTC when it is time for it?

Or is it not included in their policy?

[HTC EVO 3D] hpcolombia:
I was installing some apps on my phone and suddenly the screen turned off. When I tried to turn it on, nothing happened. I then let the phone sit for a minute and still nothing would happen until I noticed the buttons turning on and off. I tried swiping where the unlock would be when the buttons come on and it worked. I could tell from the tactile feel. I then rebooted the phone by pressing and holding the power button and guessing where restart would be. The screen works again.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? First time for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I had it happen to me once, when I first got the phone. Exactly as you described, except I had to battery pull. I was using an app called Screen Filter, so I could dim the capacitive lights. I figured it had to do with that app, so i removed it. I haven't had it happen since. I'm not sure if it was Screen Filter that caused it or not, but I haven't had it happen again since I removed it. Either that, or just a coincidence.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Happened to me once when I was messing with a root script that had a bug. Ended up clearing some of my app data too. Seems like a common "brain death" state that the phone can get into. I'm pretty sure it's software related and nothing to worry about.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] GhettoBSD:
it happens to me often, and I too have screen filter... but that isn't the cause of the problem (i got it to dim the buttons but it doesn't work on those yet).

I'm not sure what the problem is, but you can eventually turn the screen back on and reboot it - just keep at it. Do you have anything plugged into the headphones jacks BTW? If you do, and you try to reboot, it'll hang. It's done that to me a few times so I unplugged the headphones everytime
[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
Started happening to me after i installed either switkey x or the amazon app, i am not sure but i think that's what caused it
[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
SwiftKey works fine for me... try reinstalling it. Same far any other apps that cause issues, make sure the download was good and reinstall.

If the phone freezes, remember that the only ways to get a try restart is a dead battery or battery pull. Wifes phone froze and shut off, would not restart until a battery pull.

Good luck!

I'm overclocked but the issue @ hand is software related. When I had the OG Evo, certain kernels would cause the screen to act in the same matter stated in the op. A lot of bugs that people report would be resolved once we get perm. Root.

Okay, so I was going to pick up this phone for my wife at Best Buy for $1 on Saturday, but I guess I'm having second thoughts after reading these threads. It seems like everyone is unloading the Fassy. Are there still people out there that would suggest this phone (she is coming from an old Blackberry!). Thanks for your thoughts!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchell:
I still have the phone and I love it. It's fast, responsive, and I believe it has a bright future in terms of developments on gingerbread and beyond. That being said, it's worth considering your budget and whether it's worth it to get a newer phone (possibly on a 4G network, if that applies to where you live and the usage of the phone). For $1, though, any alternative phone options may have to be extraordinary.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotsflat4love:
I bought mine for .01 on amazon in oct 2010. It has been a rollercoaster with development (meaning with the lack of source, NOT our developers.) For most of the people who have been here a long time, its a love hate relationship with this phone. Just know there are some developers here who have completely transformed our phones. Without these key people we would be where the continum is... wait... too early.

Buy it.
[About XDA developers] desiprince92:
Ever since I started flashing ROMs, I never did a full wipe before (because of my laziness to get all my data back). Most of the time, the end results were fine and if it didn't work, i'd just restore and try another ROM. Sometimes though, the ROM would be just fine except the wifi doesn't scan or 4g doesn't work anymore or HTC widgets FC all the time. Why is it that this happens and will there ever be a fix without a full wipe?

* This is just a question I have. I do full wipe now before every ROM. *
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Try to think of your disk space as a linear thing with five blocks occupying the same space each.

|a|b|c|d|e|

Now, say you flash ROM X on your device and it takes up enough space to cover blocks a, b, c, and d.

|X|X|X|X|e|

Let's say you don't like how ROM X operates, and prefer the look of ROM Y from the screen shots you see. ROM Y uses less space and different apps, so it only takes up blocks a, b, and c.

|Y|Y|Y|X|e

Now your system has to interpret which of these leftover files from ROM X actually belong in there, and which are just pieces of information left over. Since there isn't a way for he ROM to do this, it will see and try to understand what these leftover pieces do and incorporate them into the file system as best it can. This may mean that these files are parts of other applications that are already installed on the new ROM, so they are only partially overwritten.

This is the best I can explain this, and is the reason that most people recommend that you do a full wipe, or task29 for some people, before flashing a new ROM. This is less important for ROMs that are exactly the same as the one before and are only and update to the previous version. When switching between completely different ROMs, it is always important to do this to avoid "ghosting" or "phantom" issues that other users are not reporting.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Will there be roms that don't need a full wipe? Yes. Will a full wipe ever be not needed? No. This is the price you pay for flashing roms. If you don't like setting things up all over again then find a rom you like and stick with it.

Hey, just bought the app.

It looks really cool and plays nicely with my Asus eee pad.
[Android Apps and Games] MichellBak:
Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying it! :)

@All

I'm working on a Lite version of the application, which will be free, but limited in functionality. Think of it as an appetizer for the paid version.

Edit: The lite version is now without any limits, supported by ads.
[Android Apps and Games] Metastable:
I don't have a tablet but just wanted to say it looks very polished from your screens. Nicely done!

Hi everyone

Just updated Mizuu Movies to version 1.1.1 - it's a small update, but it'll have a huge impact on the performance of the application, as I've enabled hardware acceleration, so the scrolling will be ultra smooth.

Version 1.1.1

Hardware acceleration enabled [no more sluggish scrolling]

Theme improvements

And like I said, I'm working on a Lite version of the application, so you can all try it out before buying. I know 15 minutes isn't a lot of time to try an app like this.
[Android Apps and Games] MichellBak:
Hey everyone - again!

Been working most of the day on Mizuu Movies, and just finished the next update. Sorry about all the updates, but rather fast than slow, right? Here are the details:

Version 1.2.0 (July 24)

Added favourites

Added sharing

UI improvements

Improved manual identification

I've also added a LITE VERSION of the application that's totally FREE to install. It's limited to 8 movies that are more or less picked at random, and the user specified themes have been disabled.

Please go ahead and try it out if you've got a Honeycomb tablet - thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] decepticon:
Bring on the updates, this app can only get better. Skipped the lite and went straight to the paid. Just to add, would be great if the widget would allow you to flip through all the available movies but not sure how that would play on the resources
[Android Apps and Games] Doktaphex:
By the looks of the screenshots it looks as though you've put a great deal of work into this, Im impressed, really slick. You deserve praise indeed. Like Metastable if I had a tablet, I would be buying this app.
[Android Apps and Games] jcarley0830:
Just downloaded to my Acer Iconia and it is an amazing looking app. Wonderfully designed interface. I downloaded the trial and have a question. Does the paid version read the files from the sd card (called external sd card on Iconia) or the usb drive that can be attached to it? The internal memory is actually called sd card. Kind of weird.
[Android Apps and Games] MichellBak:
Thanks - much appreciated! I was actually thinking about doing that, but my main issue is indeed the memory resources. 10 movies take up around 3 MB of memory, which is quite a lot. I'll maybe add it or somehow improve the widget with more customization options. :)

Thanks a lot! :) It's been great working on this little project of mine!

Thanks a lot! None of the versions currently support scanning the external memory, but it's coming! The reason is that there's no official way to get the external directories, and each manufacturer is using their own naming convention (i.e. "Removable/sdcard" and "mnt/external1").

Cheers guys and thanks so much!

Please consider submitting this to the portal :)

Hey, thanks a lot! Every little bit helps :)
[Android Apps and Games] MichellBak:
Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know that I've released an update, which adds support for external SD cards. Here's the change log:

Version 1.2.5 (July 25)

Added support for external SD cards

Added a new theme (Wallpaper Theme)

Minor bug fixes

If you're using the Lite version, you may not notice the added support though. The application prioritizes the internal memory, so if you've got eight or more movies on the internal memory, you won't be seeing any files from the external SD card.

Also added a new theme in the paid version, which will use your current wallpaper as the application background.

I've just uploaded it, so it may take a few minutes for it to appear on Android Market - please be patient :)

Hope you'll like it!

Some hours later:

I found a few bugs based on the errors I've received in the Android Market Developer Console, and I've fixed two of the three errors. The third... Well, I can't seem to reproduce it no matter how hard I try. It's basically a NullPointerException in my search algorithm and I can't understand why it's happening. I'll continue working on it, but for now I'm sorry if you're affected by this bug.

Version 1.2.6 has been uploaded to fix bugs.
