Lolz funny.:p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Taking pictures: its more to do with the photographer then the camera. I bet if you give me an extreme low end camera I can still get a decent picture from it.

Dont use auto focus in such low light such as a club...use infinity.....if you dont keep steady when you press that shutter button your gonna end up with a blurry picture because under low light your shutter speed will be to slow. The flash on the X10 sucks and isnt anywhere close enough to compensate for the slow shutter speed. Ive taken pictures in clubs with this exact phone...by resting my elbows on a table to help keep as steady as possible my pictures have been really good considering.

Exmore r is hardware sony uses (sensor) even in the mid-high end point & shoots....therefore cannot be used on our X10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_Element:
Glad to see there is one person at least here that knows the fundamentals of photography and possibly even more.

Someone has to read some things about taking night pictures the importance of existing light and how exactly your shutter behaves when you are in night capture mode rather than requesting better hardware thinking that he's asking about software or some kind of MOD (aka Exmore R).

[Xperia Play Android Development] nickholtus:

[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
Yes it's based on the 4.xxx FW

I'm going to work on working apps2sd into the rom :)

Maybe. Alot of the backround processes from stock have been removed.

Which dalvik2cache mod? the original or doomlords version?
[Xperia Play Android Development] mr.ultraman:
not very sure, i think it had been discussed in doom thread,the name is dalvik hack .zip inside got a file named dalvik2cache

155.88kb only

maybe you can confirm for me,i will also try now by mobile or else i got to do confirmation tomorrow:)

edit: oh, mate i have found it, this is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174160 i had used frasertag method to flash via recovery
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
If your using doomlords kernel. You should try this one. Just flash it from recovery, then wipe dalvik cache:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17060763&postcount=404

If your using stock kernel. Use the original. And just follow the same instructions thats on the dalvik2cache thread.
[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
I would like to hear peoples comments on what they like and don't like. What they would like to see removed. Or added in future versions.

I'm thinking of removing the theme. leaving it as stock. And having themes as options extra's. :) Maybe people can post there own community generated themes too ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Cat_On_Droid:
Well i'd try it but..

Are there any BIGGGGGGGG difference between the 4.0.A.368? I like DOOMkernels BOOTLogo too,its cute :) Is it still there?

Another few Q's,is Android Maket there?Can i use the GOLauncher with the ROM too :) ? TYYY
[LG Optimus 2x] tjsas1:
Hi there,

I've been wondering if there could be a separated Menu for Optimus 2x Android Development for P990 and SU660.

We all know that their roms are mostly not compatible to one another. I will help filtering much easier and less bricking for phone.

Hope you also think the same.

Thanks,

Thomie

[Nexus S Accessories] vennstrom:
Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.

Nillkin Case

Packaging - Professionally made.

Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red

Overall look - I think I'm love :D..look definitely sick for me :)

Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.

Bonus Pic

Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3
[Nexus S Accessories] rlamontjr:
im in love with the headphones.
[Nexus S Accessories] plphung:
That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.

Is there any place to buy this online?
[Nexus S Accessories] vennstrom:
I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)
[Nexus S Accessories] cshim:
Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:

(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)

www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html

I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.

I might order this case once my NS comes in.

Hope this helps!
[Nexus S Accessories] plphung:
Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..

Guess I won't get it after all. >:
[Nexus S Accessories] treUse:
You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon :p
[Nexus S Accessories] redandblack1287:

[Nexus S Accessories] gamefreakgcb:
I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.

This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...

[Nexus S Accessories] Feeshie:
Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.

My worries:

Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.

Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.

thoughts?

Hi,

1) Does the Samsung Sidekick 4g have a Gorilla Glass screen?

2) Does it need a screen protector?

3) If it needs a screen protector, could you please recommend me a link?

Thanks,

Sammy

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Wow. You have the best keyboard ever sold on a cell phone and you still can't use proper English. C'mon. It doesn't make you look cool, it just makes you hard to understand.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I got tired of scraping up my cell phones, so when I bought my sidekick I decided to dedicate a pocket to it. Before my phones would have to rattle around with my keys and a screwdriver and stuff. It's been a month and a half since I got the Sidekick and it still looks like new.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I have tried screen protectors on the Droid1, Droid2, and the Samsung Intercept.

I have removed them every time, as fumbling around and missing swipes, scrolls and tapping things multiple times like an iPhone "user" is not efficient enough for me.

I use belt clips (face-in style) and don't throw these devices in my pocket so I have never scratched one yet.

I have never bothered with a protector on this Sidekick because of all the issues I had with the other phones and their use.

Insurance: 2 years for $99 @ Trade Square sounds pretty good compared to T-Mobile's plan (although TS does not cover lost/stolen, but I have NEVER lost a phone, nor had one stolen). Making the switch soon...

Although $180 for a used one sounds good: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Samsung-SGH...tegid=9355&_pcatid=801&_refkw=new+sidekick+4g
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] samandiriel:
I've never used a screen protector myself, just a slipcover (from my original G1) on every phone I've had. Never had a problem.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjsmith:
Hi,

I flashed my phone with the HTC 2.3 dev release. Whilst it had some of the new features I wanted, it broke bluetooth to my car which was a deal breaker. I read plenty guides, got revolutionary, s-off'd and installed clockworkmod. That all worked well (seemingly).

I decided to try for the first time a custom rom rather than try and put back the original htc one. I tried leedriod. Used the install from zip method with cwm to install. It installed but just get stuck in a reboot loop. I tried CM7. That installed fine. Whilst the phone is now running with CM7, there are a lot of problems I think related to the boot loader.

If I try to install anything from the sdcard .zip via cwm, it always fails with cannot install zipfile (BAD). Tried hundreds of times! I obviously managed it the first time to get leedroid and cm7 installed.

Cannot establish a connection with the PC to the sdcard when the phone is running and copy anything for more than a few seconds.

usring rom manager, it always says cwm is not installed when it is and trying to re-install hangs near the end.

In cm7, reboot from power button just hangs.

I tried revolutionary again to re-flash cwm. That worked, but no difference. I've a feeling all the above are connected.

I've tried using cwm to do a full wipe, reformat sdcard etc.

Anyone any suggestions? Phone is a bravo with hboot 1.06
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
First off, rom manager's is pants, don't use it.

Bad zip file is usually a broken download, check the files md5 sum against the original, or just download it again.

Then clear all userdata and try the update.zip again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwaazaar:
I configured WiFi to be switched off when screen goes off. However, if I check the battery stats, it shows WiFi beeing active a lot during the night, even though the screen was never on.

Does some software not respect the WiFi-settings? Is that even possible (shouldn't Android refuse that?)
[Off-topic] momentarylapseofreason:
It's late here, so sorry if this has been asked or talked about before. The phone I had for a length of time before this was a Nexus One. I switched to the G2X and hated it with a passion.

Our phones can darned near do anything I can possibly imagine today... especially when you consider that color screens were "hot" just a few years back.

I'm not a gamer by any means. I played Cut the Rope and Angry Birds, but have beaten em both with perfect scores... so gaming graphics aren't really "my" niche. However, what would you like to see a phone capable of next?

I just remember when I had my G1 and the Android platform has advanced so quickly, that I am at a loss of what I would like to see next. The only thing I could say would be a game-changer, would be some type of "real-time" translator. How amazing would that be?

So, my contribution is a translator that could do so in real-time (or at least close). What's yours?
[Off-topic] momentarylapseofreason:
Another random idea....

My 97 year old grandfather was blown away that I could order a book on my phone (through Amazon) and have it arrive the next day. He started talking about how he would love many of the things I do on it, such as checking the weather and news.

While we're all somewhat "techy" on here... it'd be neat to see something idiot proof. That is, something that isn't for the tech savvy like himself, to be able to use it. Voice search has come a long way, but still takes a fair amount of skill.
[Off-topic] rp-x1:
The trouble with translation of human speech is the literally unlimited variables. Not only the hundreds of languages, but the dialects, the accents, the mis-pronounciations and the combinations of all the above.

The technology will get there, it's just nowhere near just yet. (IBM are flouting their latest super computer is as clever as a cat, but it has 147,000+ CPUs! Not to mention the fact my cat isn't a gleaming example of intelligence).

As for what to expect in handsets, quite frankly, battery tech needs a good boot up the backside into reality, plus the efficiency tech to match.

'toy tech'-wise, I'd like things like an accurate body monitor, that'd be ideal for handicapped or the elderly (or the fitness savvy for that matter) which could automatically alert in case of problems.

Otherwise, there isn't much I can think of that this thing doesn't do (other than make the obligatory cup of coffee). Tech is getting to a place where gadgets can seriously be considered as possible devices to advance the human race rather than just assist it's user.
[Off-topic] mrg02d:
Technically, our phones CAN make a cup of coffee now! Google arduino twitter coffee pot (or something similar). You can use twitter to send a command to a microcontroller that is hooked up to a coffee pot to make coffee when you tell it too from wherever you are.

I need a VNP service for Android platform for a short period of time, that's when I am on a 3-week trip to China, in order to access blocked sites such as gmail, facebook, etc.

I have been searching around for suitable VPN providers, but found that all of them do not offer a one-time package. In their "billing cycle", there are, for example, "X.XX USD monthly", "X.XX USD quarterly", "X.XX USD annually", etc. That means my credit card is likely to get charged in the subsequent months even though I just need the service for one month.

Would anyone here please advise if there are any VPN providers that offer VPN service on short-term basis?

Build#: 4.5.2A-51_OLL-17

System: 45.2.17.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA

Version: 2.3.4 (on rooted stock Gingerbread)

I rooted my 2.3.4 Bell Atrix using the instructions on Atrixforums website, and it worked like a charm. Then i went into the market and downloaded ROM Manager, through which i flashed the latest Clockwork Mod Recovery. Since this was going to be my first time flashing a Custom ROM, I followed online advice of performing a Nandroid backup. I pressed "Backup Current ROM" in ROM Manager, and my phone turned off. When it turned back on, I was at the Motorola Dual Core screen, and at the top there was a message: "Failed to boot 2 Starting RSD Mode". After reading some more on the forums, I noticed that I never unlocked my phone and that I couldn't flash a custom Recovery meaning Nandroid backups won't work.

But now I'm stuck with a broken Recovery mode and I don't know what to do to fix this. Can I still flash the original recovery image back to fix the Failed to boot error?

Can someone please help point me to the right direction?

Thanks
