The simplicity of apple and lack of customizations is boring.

However i do like there ipods and ipod touches

they have lots of room, good battery life and have many apps that android doesn't have and probaly wont have for a long time.

I have a 64gb ipod touch 4g and i love it for all my music, putting music on my phone is just not for me.. :D

I'm a portable audiophile enthusiast and have a collection of many different brands of DAPs (MP3 players) and IEMs. Among the best for cleanest and best sound quality are my Cowon D2, Samsung P3, iRiver Clix2 and iPod Nano 3G. I have a few Sandisk DAPs that aren't too bad either. But the iPod Nano 3G produces outstanding SQ. Many iPods are excellent for the SQ and the iPhone started out as a DAP with phone function. That's what separates it from Androids and other smartphones. The iPhone started out not as a smartphone, but a media player and the smartphone part was included.And when the iPhone was first introduced, it used a high-end audio chip from Wolfson just like the Nano 3G and Cowon D2 use.

Apple got away from the Wolfson chip in the iPhone 4 but what it uses is no slouch. I find the audio quality of the iPhone 4 to be quite good. However, the latest Samsung smartphones...like the Infuse 4G and possibly the upcoming SGS2...have superior SQ. My Infuse impresses me to no end how wonderful it sounds. I believe it is using the Yamaha audio chip. But previous high-end Samsung smartphones...like the Galaxy S...used the Wolfson chip. But the latest stuff from Samsung is purely excellent.

Apple needs to rethink the iPhone's history and improve it with ever cleaner and richer audio quality. I'd suggest they return to using the Wolfson chip or contract for the Yamaha chips.

My main concern with Apple products is the ridiculous way that they come out with a "new idea", like video calling that has been around for years, and doesn't need wifi like their version, and then they shove advert after advert down your throat, telling you that if you don't have an iPhone then you don't have it!

It basically looks like they're saying, "Anyone who falls for this crap doesn't deserve anything original!"

I'm not a fanboy of anything (maybe my PS3, a little), but I sort of feel sorry for people who hear an advert that states, "If you don't have an iPhone then you don't have a phone with an 'i' at the beginning of the name, followed by the word 'phone'" and think it's a really great idea.

Great products - truly - but marketed for idiots. I'd feel like a child buying one.

I'm not knocking anyone who has one - I'm saying that's how their marketing makes me feel, not what I think of their users/fanbase.

I don't care much about the love. I've spent the past years amongst them, and I can't help noticing that the proportion of threads dedicated or turned into apple-slacking is more important on Android forums, than the other way round. It's all a question of "respect".

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mraahh:
Hey, I'm a noob running the kingdom shooter sense 3.0 rom on my evo. When I try to install more apps i get a message saying that the internal memory is full. I only have about 70 apps which take up 197.9 mb after some have been moved to the sd card. With system data taking up 237 MB, that leaves 251 MB of "free space." And yet I get the internal memory full message. I did a little research and found that my problem might be that I'm running out of cache space for new apps. But clearing caches with cachemate doesn't seem to help. Does anyone know what I can do? Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, I couldn't find anything that helped.

Can any one make a android 2.3 rom for the china phone Star A3000 which is using the mt6516 and it can only run at 207Mhz

Also for the mt6516, it can run at 416Mhz in windows mobile but why can't in android
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teract:
I could be wrong, but your request doesn't seem likely to be fulfilled. The time and effort to make 2.3 compatible with your device is likely worth $1,000s of hours in labor. You'll probably have better luck asking for an actual device with android 2.3 than a custom 2.3 mod.

It's like asking microsoft to customize windows 7 to run on a Pentium (original) processor. It might theoretically be possible, but not useful.

Hi, I updated the software in my S2 via the update menu in the phone. The only 'update' I've noticed is more of a downgrade, since now I can't change the theme in the messaging app >:0:mad::confused::eek::mad::mad::confused::mad:

Anyone know what the other 'updates' are?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well you can't call it a downgrade just for missing the SMS themes, can you?

The other updates for other regions, you got the update for your region and I think you should stick to it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goalieguru:
hi all, my phone has numerous problems and nothing seems to fix the phone, so ill sum up the issues

none of my apps work, ALL of them force close as soon as they are opened, I've tried factory resetting the phone, but after the reset the apps are still there with the same problem. The same things happen after i do a hard reset. I've tried reflashing stock and non stock firmwares and nothing fixes the problem, my phone is basically useless.

Is there any fix to this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I don't know what your warranty situation is, but if you can flash back to stock, I'd take it into an AT&T store and see if you can get a warranty replacement. It's possible there may be a fix to your issue, but if you are in a position where you can just swap it out for a new phone, that may be your best/least frustrating solution.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Have you tried going into mounts and storage in cwm formatting everything and then flashing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goalieguru:
My phone is out of warranty

and yes i've tried that but still no luck :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
When you flashed to stock, did you do a Master Clear also? It sounds like a software issue and should be fixed with a complete system wipe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aww.W.T.F?:
I'm going to assume you used some type of backup " tibu " or something similar before you did any flashing ? If so did or how did you reinstall your apps and data ? Cuz if you install system apps plus data it would explain why all your apps are force closing. Only install missing apps plus data.

will your phone show up in adb at all? i did the same thing you did and mine showed up in adb when it was bootlooping. if it does you will need to re-root then adb push the backed up(original)framework res
[Motorola Droid 3] Jewremy:
It's not framework.jar.apk. it's framework-res.apk. OP, if you pushed it to framework.jar, you're probably screwed. Go learn before you flash something next time.

If you enabled USB debugging, you can connect ADB from the BP Tools menu mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236465

Keep in mind that even with ADB connected, the phone will continue to boot loop (and make annoying sounds) over and over and over while you're in ADB. So just because it keeps booting, don't think that ADB won't work.

If you didn't enable USB debugging though and can't get out of a bootloop, then I would recommend a factory reset from the recovery menu. Same process as mentioned in that other thread, but select Recovery instead. When the triangle appears, press vol+ and vol- at the same time, then choose to format/wipe data (vol+/- to select, power to confirm). Then reboot again.

At this point, if you get through activation where you've entered your google account, but FC after that (happened to me), try sending yourself a text message with a market link to a third-party launcher, like ADW Launcher or Go Launcher. Use the link to launch the market, to install the launcher, to run the launcher, to get to settings, and ENABLE USB DEBUGGING. :)

Hope some of that helps.

Hey can i do a ota on a rooted 2.3.3 locked bootloader ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge330823:
Yeah but you will lose root.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
Yes you can, only if you have not uninstalled anything after rooting since all the stock apps (bloatware) needs to be on the phone when using ota updates.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge330823:
Just wait for a rooted version of the rom to come out
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
Forgot to mention you will not loose root either when doing an ota. Since the whole point of ota updating is to keep root while updating

If you have an unlocked bootloader you can root easily. The only way for people with a locked bootloader to update and keep root is ota updating.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge330823:
I had an evo 4g rooted and when the gingerbread update rolled out I lost all root completely and was unable to root. When I got my nexus is when root was available for gingerbread evo
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mozza2k11:
Did you do your gingerbread update with ota? If i flashed 2.3.3 or 4.0.a (instead of ota) then gingerbreak would not work since it was patched but using ota allows us with the xperia play on a locked bootloader keep root should be the same for all using gingerbread? Maybe not?

I started on 2.3.2 rooted. Used ota to get to 2.3.3 and root was still kept. I have just updated today using ota to the newest update and i still have root.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorge330823:
Hmm idk then because it was a huge issue for evo owners if you look at threads that we who did the ota lost root. and the exploit took 3 months to figure out
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
This isnt the evo, its not even a HTC device. There are so many diffrences between the 2 companies. For example if we OTA update with unlocked bootloaders. We brick our phones. I had s-off on my hero, desire and DHD and didnt have any problem OTA updating.

[Continuum General] Bierce22:
you need to use odin and flash the stock d17 image and thatll restore it to stock

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Clivectmob:
I have noticed that once the signal is lost, sometimes the xperia mini can't find the signal again. You are left with the little yellow triangle in the notification bar, but until you toggle the radio on and off, it will not find the network! Or is it just mine, latest firmware on 3 in the uk.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ehnvis:
I have not noticed complete loss of signal but even if its laying still on my desk it keeps going between GSM and UMTS for no reason at all (xperia mini pro model). My old X10 mini pro on the same spot on the desk was rock solid on UMTS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] A to the Thizzle:
I also noticed that it sorta gives up searching for a signal after a while. I guess it's good in the sense that it'll save battery...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] techtalkonline:
Same here, also on 3 network in UK. Actually it's on my OH phone so it's imperative I get this fixed ASAP!

She has discovered that it also affects texts and Gmail too, nothing is sent or received until the yellow triangle goes. She has discovered that if she tries to make a phone call (but not needed to actually answer the call, just wait for the call to start ringing and then hang up), it clears the triangle and the phone reconnects to the network again. Then she will receive any outstanding texts and emails etc.

I wonder if this is a 3 network specific issue? If so, then I am sure flashing a custom ROM and Radio should then fix this issue?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Clivectmob:
Actually, you know what, I think you may have a point there with it being with 3, cos I had major problems with this 3g H H+ switching issue on my galaxy s 2, it seemed to only affect some ppl on some networks, 3 being one of them, however, I also have a galaxy s 2 again now, and now, (a few months on) it seems to have fixed itself. A lot of the networks, it seems are rolling out software updates or changing actually hardware to get themselves up to speed with protocols such hspa+ so it could be something that irons itself out eventually. Lets hope.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jovovus:
I have the same problem. The duration of loosing network can be shortened if you set WCDMA or GSM only. In case of choosing both of them the phone switches between and can loose the network for a long time. But even if I use GSM only after loosing network it can reconnect after 1 minute and more. It annoys me in the underground - the cells are located at the stations so the phone sometimes can not connect to the next cell on the station during passing it and I have to wait for the next station for recovering of connection.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tsc.smith:
Hi, I also have the same issue.

Sometimes I turn the screen on, I see a yellow warning in the status bar and have no signal.

A few secons later the device is registering again in the network.:confused:

I observed that the signal is also not very stable. There are many signalchanges on the same position, between cdma and gprs (3g,hh,edge)

I don't think it's the Provider, because my old x10 mini pro as not the effects.

my Provider: Germany Telekom (D1)

my Firmware: 4.0.A.2.335

I have no idea what cause this problem. I hope it's the firmware. Maybe the rest can check if you got the same like me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] galimpic:
I have the same problem. Often the signal just goes away during conversation as if I went into a tunnel, even if I don't move at all and I am in the place where there is good signal. The call hangs and the yellow triangle appears. After 10-20 seconds, the signal is recaptured and I get full bars again. This is obviously some kind of software or hardware bug. It is as annoying as the famous noise problem and it MUST be addressed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] contofalso:
Yeah, I've got the same issue w/ T-Mobile in the US.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kenchi27:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] contofalso:
I'll give that a shot. Did you also select GSM only, or did you leave it as GSM/WCDMA prefered?

edit: Doesn't seem like it worked... GSM only and T-Mobile selected manually, and I still lose network sometimes for no reason.

Damaged Phone

I had this problem when I ordered my first sk17a from ebay. My phone would consistenly lose signal every 5 mins. I thought it was due to the wrong frequency band, but after very close examination, I realised that the phone had a tiny crack on the screen close to the ear speaker. Whenever I applied a little pressure to this spot, it caused the signal to drop. I sent back the phone and got a new sk17i instead which worked flawlessly, but the problem was definitely a hardware malfunction. Since this happens to alot of people, I narrowed it down to the way the phones are shipped. The phone sits right at the top of the packaging box and there is no protection for it other than the thin piece of cardboard. If they are not shipped with adequate padding, there is a high risk that the phone may be damaged during shipping.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Valentin55:
Hello!

I am really sorry for bumping this old thread, but I have the same problem on my Ray. After getting out from work, where I have no signal at all, due to the way the walls are insulated, my phone won't connect to the network, so I can't receive any calls or sms. Does anyone know what should I do to prevent this from happening again? I have my phone rooted and BL unlocked, but the problem dates before the root.

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] baylisg:
Thought I would post here as people here (HTC Hd2) might have an idea.

I have HTC HD2 running WM6.5 I'm normally able to connect to various laptops using the HTC wireless router no problems.

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (Android) and it can not see the HTC - I note from other threads that this was because the HTC creates an AD Hoc network and android can't see these? (don't really understand the technical issues there!)

I have tried manually setting up a wireless network using settings on my laptop when that is connected but the Tab did not like the settings I used.

Any advice on how to manually setting the network up?
[HD2 General] p107r0:
not sure if it'll work for you, but you could try 'WiFi Thether' app
[HD2 General] baylisg:
WIFI tethering is from an android OS phone that creates a wifi hotspot that you can then hook up your wifi laptop to.

HTC HD2 phone running wm6.5 has an ad hoc network and that is what the android Tablet can't see.

So I need to work out how the android tablet can see the wm6.6 ad hoc network
[HD2 General] p107r0:
oops, somehow did not realise it's the opposite direction, shame on me for overseeing the obvious...

anyway, I had no problem connectiong my CM variation to ad-hoc network on Win XP laptop, so maybe your problem is device-specific,

maybe you'll find some useful ideas here (post 11 ?)
[Nook Color General] Landara:
I love this! I listened to all the "experts" on he board and ran CM7 on the SD since getting my Nook. I couldn't run it EMMC because I have to have NC Stock to read my books(my young daughter loves the interactive ones). I hated CM7! Not the OS itself just the fact that A: it saw sluggish and frustrating to use and B: my battery went down faster than Paris Hilton at Bike Week. The first I can see was simply a result of running an OS from the SD card, can't be avoided. The other, well, I guess full blown android just takes more battery. So for months I have barely used it as anything but a reader at all.

Then last week I decided to try ManualNooter just to see what all the fuss was about. WOW what a difference! THIS Is what I should have been using all along. I can run any app, use any launcher, use the OC/UN Kernal, and still get great battery life and do all of this from the on board memory without being tied to an SD card and I still get to use all my books. Perfect!

So for any of you who find tourself hating your grindy, sluggish SD card CM7, give this a try! You don't even have to wipe your data, it's painless and easy! Thanks whoever developed this thing! :)

Note this is not a bash on CM which in itself is a great OS i just think it's crap running from an SD or at least it was for me! But i loved it when it wasn't driving me to drinking and making me punch things.
