[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
God I can't wait!

I loved the production quality of this game on iPhone, but controlling anything but strategy/role-playing games with a touch screen is simply garbage. I'll finally get to realize this game FOR REAL on my Xperia PLAY!

...once my 32GB comes in... my 16GB has about 113MB free lol.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
YES!

Been wanting to play this since it came out on iOS. My iPod Touch couldn't run it xD

When is it out!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:
I would pay $5 for it...looks good and reminds me of uncharted!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] subcu1ture:
Gameloft games are ripoffs of most games... I was wondering how long the game play is. It was really annoying with sacred odyssey because it didn't take that long to complete the game.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
Agree.

But......this doesn't make them bad.

Alot of Gameloft games are very good. And besides, all games follow the same format anyway. They all rip each other off.

Modern day gaming gets on my nerves alot too. Look at the original Megadrive versions of Sonic the Hedgehog for example.

They are still better than every other 2D platform game released on any system since.

Most of todays 2D platform games (or 3d side scrolling platformers) are terrible in comparison.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Super Magnetic Neo, Sonic Adventure and Loco Roco are vastly superior to the Sonic 2D titles. I would say SMN and LR could enjoy a second chance in mobile due to its gameplay mechanics.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
+1 sonic adventure 1 & 2 are by far the best games in the series :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
These are 3d games, when i clearly stated 2d (or 3d side scrolling) games :)

(Never played Loco roco so cant comment on that though).

I personally think Sonic Adventures were amazingly crap compared to Sonic 1/2/3
[General Questions and Answers] CADCAM:
I have a Gtab 1.2 firmware and rooted it with Brilliant Corners. Seems to work great. My problem is that I bought a 16GB class 4 Micro SD card and copied several movies to the card. The movies are almost all avi, with two mp4 movies. I tried to use the default video app that came with BC but it wouldn’t play any of the movies. I downloaded a different app called mVideo Player and the movies played but suddenly all the movie files are gone! I copied them all over again this time making a movie folder to put them in but the same thing happened, all the movies get deleted somehow. Any idea of what the @#$% is going on and how to resolve it?
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
try using moboplayer (which supports all video formats) from the market and see if your movies still get deleted
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zanywood:
Is there any way to change date and time on optimus? In my settings I have option but no way to change.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
under settings>date&time settings, deselect "automatic". now you can set it
[Optimus One, P500, V General] zanywood:
Don't have the automatic feature.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiccuphell:
i got zapped by the dreaded broken power button.

ive read up on a lot of soln from app/widget/rooting work around to solve the lock/unlocking. these work great.

but

my phone wont charge the battery any more.

this happened the same time the power button stopped.

the charge light is red not orange.

ive tried a plug in charger, car charger, usb, and my desk charger.

the desk charger saves my butt because i have two batteries and i can charge one while the other one is used by the phone.

so my question is:

is this simply a flex cable replacement fix?

ive read lots about the power button problem but i have not seen any accompanying issues with charging that im experiencing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Sounds like two unrelated problems. If you fix/replace the power button you would probably only fix that and not the charging. You could check where the short is by backtracking from the plug with a multimeter.

Is the device visible with usb plugged in and doesn't charge? If that's the case you probably just have a short in one of the pins. But if not, that would need to be replaced.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiccuphell:
hey EK,

thanks for response.

yes USB connectivity works great. and yes it wont charge while plugged in. When the battery lowers to a certain percent like 90% - i assume thats when the phone starts to charge it and when it begins this charge cycle, the battery light is red instead of orange.

ill give the multimeter a shot. i havent looked but wondering if there are any instructions out there for this check?

HH
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
The battery won't charge if it is plugged in between 90-100% as that can cause batteries to age quickly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiccuphell:
yup, knew that.

an update. both batteries do in fact charge. it just doesn't register as in charging mode for about 5 minutes - weird!

I can live with this. I'll just do a flex cable swap.

thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] stantaur:
Can't get Mobile Hotspot to run > 5-10 minutes tops, whether I run the stock config from VZN with Mobile Hotspot enabled (incl packet data and roaming enabled) or if I run the aftermarket apps / ROMs listed below. 4G LTE in Portland with 5 bars and 20 Mbps down / 6 up on Speedtest.net app on phone. Similar speed when connected on Hotspot to Laptop. Current system info today (after doing the info listed below last night) is:

Firmware version 2.3.4

Baseband version

i510.06 V.EE4

SCH-1510.EE1

Kernel version

2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514

Build number

SCH-I510.EP1Q

Calls to VZN tech several times about the Hotspot dropping signal; no luck. Sent me replacement phone, which (big surprise) did same thing. Level 2 tech said my next step was to "umm, you didn't hear this from me, but check xda developers and a process called rooting." Confidence inspiring as that was, let's just say I was willing to give it one last shot since I love the phone's screen, size, batt life. Shutting off WPA2 helped extend the time a bit, sometimes to 12 minutes, but that's as good as it got. After drop (laptop shows Wireless Connection Unavailable when searching),

Tried tethering apps (PDAnet, EasyTether) too while still stock. Same issue, but at least it lasted longer. Combined with aforementioned longer time btwn dropping when WPA2 is disabled, I'm thinking it's a software issue at this point.

Tried rooting, with CWM, PBJ kernel & Froyo EE4 debloated. First root experience for me; super careful. Great instructions, no problem going through the process. When I pulled down OpenGarden and Barnacle, they said they didn't have root access though.

Fine, let's step a little further away from stock. Flashed up the GummyCharged 1.9 EE4 Froyo. Nice interface, this time OpenGarden and Barnacle work HOWEVER (here's where maybe someone can tell me how to fix)

Both OG and Barnacle show up only as ad hoc, not full WLAN icons on my laptops (Win7 Latitude, and Win 7 XPS Studio 13), and it cannot connect to the internet with them. Are there settings I need to tweak to get either app to work?

I then tried the $4.99 WiFi Hotspot app. That one looks very much like the stock VZN Mobile Hotspot app, and showed up as a regular WLAN like VZN's Mobile Hotspot does. Worked about 20 minutes, then dropped.

OK, another step down the rabbit hole with Gingerbread this time. GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC2 Beautiful interface. $4.99 WiFi Hotspot no workie at all. Tried OpenGarden and Barnacle as well - still get that stupid ad hoc network thing.

Someone please let me know where I'm missing a step on any of these apps. I love the phone, big fan of GummyCharged Gingerbread look/feel, but frustrated beyond belief that I can't get simple mobile hotspot (or even tethering, which I enjoyed 2 yrs of blissfully slow 3G on my old iPhone 3GS before it was stolen from my truck / forcing me to re-evaluate my carrier & hardware options at that time).

Thanks again - ideas welcomed. Really want to try to make this work on this phone instead of turning it in for a T-Bolt (which VZN tier 2 tech suggested if rooting didn't resolve).
[Verizon Droid Charge] stantaur:
Welcome ANY ideas here. While I love the GB GC setup / speed / batt life, I'm open to going back to Froyo GC if you think that would help. VZN's also willing to let me turn in my Charge for a T-Bolt which they say has fewer tether/hotspot issues (albeit bad batt life).

Flashed a new radio yesterday - still drops Web after 2-10 min. Drops ping too, just f-ing useless as a hotspot or tether. New config is

Firmware version 2.3.4

Baseband version

i510.06 V.EP1

Unknown

Kernel version

2.6.35.7-EP1Q-CL397514

Build number

SCH-I510.EP1Q

Very, very disheartened. Dig everything else about the Charge, but I need tethering or hotspot as part of my job.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stantaur:
Bueller? Bueller? Buellllllller?

OK, for those of you who are suffering the same issues, here's a stopgap fix, hopefully VZN or some stud developer here will drop a wireless hotspot / tether solution that works on this phone. Maybe the issue is that VZN's Portland LTE is a POS implementation that bumps everyone off after 10 min of tethering. I bought the darn service to stay stock and would have used it - IF it worked.

PDANet seems to be the only real working solution if you want to stay tethered more than 10 minutes. You'll want to do the first level of Tether Hiding for more stability. And no proxies, using Chrome browser. That stayed running for 45 minutes. Woo. hoo. Still though, it's better than nothing. Once browser stalls at 45 min, you simply turn off PDANnet on the phone, go into airplane mode, turn airplane mode off, bring up 4G again, then turn on PDANet again.

Download speed was 6Mbps and upload around 1-2 Mbps, so it's kind of an improvement over the iPhone I came from (1 down, .5 up, but would tether or hotspot for days without a drop).

This is using the GB GummyCharge setup mentioned in the original post, with the modem flash mentioned in post 2.

After rooting and trying GB GC, I really didn't want to go back to stock. I haven't even done the lagfix - still using the stock file system. Phone is more stable than stock, faster responsiveness, much faster boot, far superior interface, phenomenal improvement in battery life. I used to drop to 20% battery if I got up at 5 AM and didn't get a charge by 10 PM, minimal 4G usage or navigation, just a few phone calls. Now with GB GC, it's 40% at bedtime.

That said, if anyone finds a cure for this crappy tether/hotspot solution which seems to be with VZN in Portland area on Droid Charge, please follow up with a post here or somewhere in the forum.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You can download the 3-files XXJVR firmware and use the CSC file of your choice, please use a GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 CSC file with this firmware:

I normally don't deodex or post provider firmwares as you all know, but since many of our members have been asking for the deodexed version so I could not keep refusing.

I have only made an Odin package of the deodexed firmware, that leaves you the freedom to flash using the CSC file of your choice, please try to use only GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 CSC files.

As usual, the firmware is deodxed, zipaligned, rooted and have busybox pre-installed.

Her is the stock XXJVR Kernel for those that needs it:

The deodexed firmware has Daily Briefing included, if it does not show up then it's because the CSC file that you have chosen do have Daily Briefing included. XXJVQ does not install Daily Briefing application on /data/app but on /system/app, I did not try all CSC files but they used to be installed on /data/app on GB 2.3.3, however, if your device does not show Daily Briefing then use one of the following steps to install it:

Using CWM:

If you have flashed your device with a Kernel that has CWM build in the Kernel then just install this CWM file:

Using Root Explorer:

*Download and extract XXJVR_Daily Briefing_Apk.zip at the end of this post and copy the extracted InfoAlarm.apk to the Internal SD-card of your device.

*Look for InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex in /system/app and delete these 2 files, if they are not there then you can find and delete them at /data/app.

*Copy InfoAlarm.apk from the Internal SD-card to /system/app, reboot if Daily Briefing does not show after completing the process.

Using ADB:

*Download and extract XXJVR_Daily Briefing_Apk.zip at the end of this post and copy the extracted InfoAlarm.apk to the Internal SD-card of your device.

* Since you have chosen to use ADB then you know how to use it to gain root...etc. Excute:

Now see if InfoAlarm.apk and InfoAlarm.odex are there, if so execute:

And you are done.

If the files are not on /system/app then execute:

See if the files are there, if so execute:

And you are done.

I wish you all good luck flashing your devices :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssdd48:
Thanks Ramad been waiting for this and will flash tomorrow using CSC_OXAJVQ.tar.md5 from your JVQ release :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
You are welcome :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadow27b:
Thank you for this Ramad
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
@Ramad---thank you for another piece of great service to the community.

Would you happen to know if the notorious 'phone fc' and 'browser lag' issues have been fixed in this 'official' release?

Best wishes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] senotrius:
same question here too..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
@Ramad

In your stock release, is the PDA and PHONE tar same as samfirmware release?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] got-petrol:
Has this got 3 files to install or just one if its only one how do you install a different csc
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
there are 3 files;as advised by Ramad,you need to pick your CSC from any other 2.3.3 OR 2.3.4 entity that you must already possess.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
The firmware is not based on samfirmware links. I have downloaded it directly from Samsung servers.

Both stock and deodexed linked firmwares are 3-files firmwares, as I already wrote at the first post.

I have been using the deodexed version since yesterday morning, made some calls and used the browser too, I did not see any trouble with the firmware yet. The browser is smooth, and to me, everything works as it should.

My advice is to try the firmware for a day or two and see if you get problems, (which I'm almost sure that you wont) before applying your favorite Kernel or modified apk files or themes, if you do it this way then you will know what causes your trouble, if you get any.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SGS_elko:
Does there apear the Swisscom Startupanimation if I use an another CSC file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssdd48:
No, I used CSC_OXAJVQ.tar.md5 from the JVQ release by Ramad ;)

Hi Ramad. Thanks for uploading these. The hotfile service from samfirmware is somehow stopping me from downloading. Thanks for sharing.

One question though, can i confirm that i could use the DXJV9 csc that you uploaded with JVR? I understood that JV9 needed some special way of flashing, so just wanna confirm.

Thanks!

whats the difference between the Stock and deodexed jvr
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZioGTS:
Thanks Ramad, this is exactly what I was looking for! I will try flashing the odex version with latest italian CSC from Samsung (ITVJV1) and let you know if it works.
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
I was stock ROM, S-OFF and rooted...Clicked yes to install OTA when prompted..Phone reset and then that came up and its doing nada...

Am I screwed? What should I do?

Can I do a battery pull? Am I bricked?

I pray someone helps me and doesn't flame. I know there are some good people in here still.

I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] xSunny:
You are not bricked you should be able to do a battery pull and boot up normally if that doesnt work since you are rooted get a tmobile 2.3.3 ruu and runn that..
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I believe your mistake was doing the OTA WHILE being rooted. Good news is, is that most people here tried the same as you and all are fine now.

A beer would be nice, huh?

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Thanks!

Doing battery pull now. Will update If any more problems.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
It's not root that kills the process, it's the custom recovery.

I assume you have CWM Recovery?

You need the stock recovery to make the OTA work, hence you have to use the RUU to get it back. Instructions are here:

After that, you can re-gain root by reading here:

Apparently there voice dialer is now working on the most recent update on the Sensation. Anyone mind posting the .APK?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ludovicianul:
I've just managed to make VoiceToGo work perfectly. Copy the so files in /system/lib and the apk in /system/app. Very cool app!!

Do not flash with CWM. Just unzip and copy in the above locations.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bundi22:
cool but you can just download the vlingo app from the market which is the same thing and gets updated etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] progene81:
How is vlingo app from the market compare with S2 VoiceToGo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ludovicianul:
Better looking, In cat mode is not beta and probably more efficient. The only disadvantage is that it cannot be updated...
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
Kind of makes me sad though. The device feels good in my hand and I like it overall, but the battery performance is unacceptable for me. I went to bed with it having something like 93% (dropping from 100% after like 15min of play). Not even 6h later I wake up and when I look at it, the battery is already drained to 85% only from standby (Yes,always-on mobile data is deactivated, power efficiency is on). After playing with the unit in train and some browsing while commuting for 30min, its already at 70% or something. During the next few hours, while working, I was just checking mails, using whatsapp from time to time and writing a few messages. No surfing, no videos no games.

By 3PM the battery was at 15%. Even worse, the damn thing takes some 4h+ to fully charge. That's just too damn long, my iphone 3gs charges fully in about an hour. What is also very frustrating is that the Sensation discharges a good portion of its current as pure HEAT. Never saw a phone get this warm afer 15min of normal usage.

I knew battery wasn't going to be stellar but this just sucks. Most of all that a full charge takes 4h. fail :-/

EDIT: Ok guys the 2.3.4 update did the trick! The battery now chrages fully within 2h and battery life has ridiculously improved!

I took it off the cord around 8am this morning. Now it's 2pm and my battery is at 83 with some 46min screen time and slight usage. Also the heating seems to be gone.

Apart from that, everything runs smoother with the new update. Guess I'm gonna keep the little guy after all :P

However, I did order 2 extra Ankers + charger (25$!) as additional mobilty is never wrong.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
Before you return it, I recommend that you call HTC support and request a warranty exchange for the phone and battery.

You may have a defective unit.

While my battery isn't stellar, I get a minimum of 10 hours before I drop below 20% life (always-on mobile data off, manual syncing, not too many widgets).

Your phone battery performance is not indicative of Sensation battery performance for the overall majority.
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
Most have said that the battery gets better after a few full charges/discharges, and the todays new update is supposed to improve battery performance. Many people say the Sensation is better than most other 4G phones.

I dont play games and such, mostly phone text and email and it lasts me a day and a half. There is also a better battery you can get.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
That charging time is ridiculous, which leads me to believe that your unit and/or battery is defective.

Mine charges from 15% to 100% in 2 hours. Same for almost everybody elses phone.
[HTC Sensation] Birdsfan:
You might want to reconsider and try warranty exchange mentioned earlier. Also, I would suggest the ChiChi battery. I'm running from 7:30 to about 4:00 with my WiFi hot spot turned on for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I'm using my phone for calls, texts etc., my battery still has about 30% left when I leave work.
[HTC Sensation] Pinball_:
Dude , custom rom and anker / chitec battery.

My first time with my new anker achieved almost 24 hours on battery and almost 4 hours screen time with quite alot of use during that time.

Totally destroyed my oem battery in every way.
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
Also I would do a Warranty Exchange and with the new update I have seen a big differance in 2.3.4 vs 2.3.3 in terms of battery life and speed of Sense in general. I purchased a Anker 1900mah battery for $10 and fully charged to dead I get on average about 17-20 hours and I would say I'm a good moderate to HEAVY! user. Switching back to a stock battery after calibrating with the Anker Battery has also improved battery life seeing that I get between 12-14 hours with stock now. I would charge to 100% go to bed and wake up with about 97%-98%
[HTC Sensation] Darkmx2000:
+1 I agree 110%, Try this though Calibrate the Anker Battery then fully charge your stock battery and see what battery life you get.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Get a anker battery and download leedroid/android revolution/insertcoin. I guarantee you won't want to return it than. When I first got my device I was thinking about doing the same thing but after I looked through the thread I saw people were getting better results with the anker or chichi. Don't be discouraged that its a third party. It actually out performs the stock battery and embarrasses it.

Also download calibrate battery from the market.
[HTC Sensation] ProximaC:
I had terrible battery life for the first week or so. 6 to 8 hours max, and 2 hours screen time if I was lucky. After conditioning the battery by fully discharging then fully charging on the AC adapter for a few cycles, it corrected itself for the most part. Yesterday I had 15 hours with 3 hours screen time and still had 20+ percent left. I have a chichtech battery sitting in my mailbox right now waiting for me to get off work.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
After I got my anker I sold my OEM and got two more. I also have a evo3d battery that I haven't used. I also have been hearing good things about it.
