[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Why is it when there are any articles on the Xperia Play the comment sections are always full of "know it all's" that slag the device off without even trying it?

Take a look at Eurogamers new article for example then go down to the comments section - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-06-sony-ericsson-no-need-for-xperia-play-2

grrrrrrr :mad:
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
just a tip,1.6 GHZ is abit to hot.I've being using 1.4 and 1.5 and they work just as great ;)

Also,ignore the comments,IRL if you show your hacked/Modded PLay their brains would go out the window

Atleast thats whats happened to me once i showed how fast it was,oh and gamepaddd :D
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I've actually put mine down to 1.4ghz only to try and balance the battery a bit as 1.6ghz was going through the battery rather quickly!
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Lowering the voltages will have a better effect on battery than lowering the clock speed :p
[Xperia Play General] amed_rock:
can't blame them for wanting more power.but..

whats the good of dual core if you just use is to call and text people :p
[Xperia Play General] subcu1ture:
They are just jelly because they don't have one.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
+1 Totally agree :p
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
What do you have yours set to? when I tried it I froze the screen so had to reboot!
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Yeah, the nobs probably don't have one and are jealous because they signed a 4 year contract and still paid 400 for an iphone that is obsolete this month or next. :cool:
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Same here xD
[Xperia Play General] wired84:
Problem its people look at specs and benchmarks and never do their own research, very annoying that people including supposedly respectable reviewers are too bothered about the silly specs!

IMO this phone is better than any I've tried, sensation, galaxy s2, desire hd and s none hold up to the gaming and general experience of the XP, just need more advocates like us!

Sony have done really well with the software and all the xda people make things loads better!
[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
Zombie iPhone fanboys, don't even bother reading their comments.
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Ditto.

People using 'single core' as an argument against it automatically revoke any chance that their opinion is reputable. People who know what they're talking about know it has some blazing fast high-quality memory and acceleration that's great enough to keep it's performance right up there with the dual cores.

Samurai II on Xperia PLAY runs just as smoothly as it does on the Atrix.
[Xperia Play General] brochador:
Don't mind them.. I came from iPhone also, but nothing compares our phone for now.. I know deep inside of them they want this phone too, they just dont admit that they made a wrong decision by choosing their current phone over this..:D
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
I’m happy with it and that is all that matters to me. :D
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Well, thanks for everything!

On saturday, i received my 4th LCD from hong kong in the mail, and on sunday i replaced the broken one on my phone. I dropped the streak with my 3rd screen from my lap and onto the carpet floor, so the LCD broke (not the glass).

This time, tuesday morning, i dropped my streak about 10-20 cm onto my laptop - and well, the brand new LCD broke.

Seriously, I'm tired of replacing that LCD, so now i'm quitting!

Anyone else with experiences like this? Is there something fishy about these hong kong LCDs? I've never broken the glass in front of the LCD, but i've always broken the LCD itself...
[Streak 5 General] roperband:
I can't keep my Streak out of its Otterbox for more than a few minutes. It's a delicate device, I'm not sure why people would hold it and think otherwise.
[Streak 5 General] sturmavik:
Not my experience at all that the Streak is a delicate device. It's taken all the abuse of hundreds of pocket removals, an occasional in-pocket bump on railings and after a year of heavy use still looks nicer than my old HTC Touch Cruise. I have also dropped my Streak unprotected - running to catch a train in Japan from a too short pocket to the hard concrete. Didn't see any damage right away and thought wow! It survived. Alas a few days later I noticed there was a hairline crack in one corner of the glass which I could definitely live with. Now I have one of those thermoplastic resin covers on and have accidentally thrown it down on my bathroom tile floor where it did a good bounce and a cartwheel or three - not a scratch anywhere. Awesomely well built is my verdict.
[Streak 5 General] p51d007:
mishandled mine numerous times, but nothing like that. :eek:
[Streak 5 General] zenwes:
My LCD broke while the phone was in my pocket about 3 weeks ago. Called Dell, they replaced. 2 days ago the EXACT SAME THING happened with the "new" (re: refurbished) phone that Dell sent. I just called Dell and now they are out of stock and the guy said call back after September 21 and we'll help you and hung up on me. I'm very upset with Dell now. IF I can get another replacement, I will promptly trade/sell it for something else.
[Streak 5 General] alperin1:
Ha, I am on my sixth screen. Last time I broke mine I purchased two replacments. Put one in and a few days later I noticed the spare was broken. Heck it was never even out of the box.

At 35$ US for a screen I will just keep replacing it.

I do have a defender on it after the last screen broke. Had the commuter.
[Streak 5 General] zenwes:
Just in case Dell can't/won't replace, where do you get your screens @ $35.00?
[Streak 5 General] SardisStreak:
I've had almost exactly the same experience, dropped my original screen a fair few times and the most I got was a small chip out of the glass. So I've been through two replacements already, one dropped from my lap onto carpet the same as 'olemartinorg' and the lcd broke and the other half a metre onto stairs and broke the same way. I'm beginning to wonder if the quality of the LCDs from China are any good or the same as the official Streak.
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
yeah, that's what i was thinking too...*:-/

http://www.ebay.com/itm/a/190566591829

Ha! I also thought about that, but as always i thought "i'll just try really hard not to break it this time" and "it's probably even cheaper next time".

I wouldn't say i've mishandled my streak, it's just extremely brittle. I had a nokia one that where i had to replace the screen two times - but the case i have with the streak now is just outrageous.

I ordered a LG Optimus One yesterday - i'll miss the screen size and speed, but it will probably not break every other day.. :-)
[Streak 5 General] boxerlover02:
I had about enough with this phone also I'm just praying that the POS lasts me till the galaxy note comes out... I can't stand how this resets, in my pocket I almost missed my son being born cuz of this trash was not working right my wife had to call 3 other people get the word that my phone that was in my pocket was stuck on the dell logo, then the battery was drained so it was pointless... that was the straw that ended my love for it... again I can't wait for the note to come out I'm getting far far away from crap dell and will NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN
[Streak 5 General] netomx:
Wow. I have dropped indefinitely my Streak as high as 1.5 meters and no LCD damage.... and with no protection... I must have an Iron LCD or what haha
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
Oh. I see your point. Are you using StreakDroid or an official ROM?

Haha! Well, i've dropped mine numerous times from similar heights without damage - but sometimes (4 times now) i've hit the sweet spot that does the trick... As i've said before, i've never had the glass breaking at all - only the LCD..
[Streak 5 General] netomx:
I had a problem with Simple Streak 1.3 testing 4, that it sometimes reboots itself... I reflash the v5 without factory reset and it is working as a charm.
[Streak 5 General] boxerlover02:
I'm using 351 build... I really can't wait for the note to come out it should be here around January I would think... at least hope it is thats when I'm able to upgrade and be done with this crap of a device, give it to my son to break completely in a week or put it in a box and let it sit in the cabinet seeing how it wont even be worth much resale value... COME SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE!!!!
[Streak 5 General] netomx:
Well, you can install Simple Streak and test... or just give it to me, I can pay the shipping :3
[Streak 5 General] boxerlover02:
When I get my upgrade if you still want it its yours
[Streak 5 General] netomx:
I will, I love so much my Streak :) I'll love another one for my girlfriend :)
[Streak 5 General] gregianos:
Grrrrrrrh

I ordered a screen from Hong Kong on the 18th August after I dropped it on a concrete floor and the LCD leaked. The rest of the screen died a few days later. I haven't received my screen yet and am stuck with a tiny Galaxy Ace at only 3.8 inches...

I've dropped my streak loads of times, hard floors, soft floors, from waist height, head height. It has broken 3 times - first time the LCD broke and Dell repaired it for nowt, the second time the glass shattered and i made an insurance claim.

I think its just pure luck that it hasn't broken more. They are bloody fragile, but i think that it just down to Dell's design.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
You could also send it to me, i need a dev streak :D
[Streak 5 General] netomx:
Sorry, first order, first served basis :P
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
And

Reading your first statements I can't quite bring myself to believe your last ;)
[Streak 5 General] olemartinorg:
:p

Yeah, so i didn't treat it like a king.. But a cellphone should survive a 10-20 cm drop into light metal/plastic right? And it should survive a drop from my lap and onto my carpet? I've had the streak for a year, and I've learned the hard way to plug it in the charger for the night and _never_ keep it on my bedside table (the first time the LCD broke).

If that's what i should expect from a Dell smartphone - and if they expect me to treat their smartphone with silk gloves and never accidentally drop it - I'm going to find another phone that i can _use_. It's obvious from this thread that it's not just me who bought a phone with a brittle LCD (or 4).
[Streak 5 General] gypsydigi:
I drop my phone constantly. I dont bother running a case because the replacement screens are only $35. This is my 5th screen that i'll be replacing. Ive dropped my phone some various heights some 2 feet or higher and it hasn't broke. I find if it lands on a corner thats when you break the lcd screen.
[Streak 5 General] _2bad4u_:
I have a question guys if the lcd is broken but the gorilla glass still intact can it be separated or it's glue to the lcd?
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
Here is a thread on LCD replacement, i am sure the answer is in the PDF guide.
[Streak 5 General] keithdphan:
Its glued on lcd to glass
[Streak 5 General] _2bad4u_:
Thanks i was going to buy one with out the gorilla glass but now that i read that you need some special glue to put the glass on the lcd, but now i'm buying with the gorilla glass. I need one for spare in case i break this one.
[Streak 5 General] AkumaMax:
how are there so many people with busted screens:confused: I have had my phone dropped about 5 times 2 were my fault, 3 were unintentional. I dropped my phone off my lap hit my car door edge where the step plate is onto a concrete ground. Another where it dropped about 3ft onto carpet. Then the 3 other times I had set my phone to wake me up in the morning, not thinking I woke up to find it about 4ft on the ground of my basement concrete floor all 3 times and it is perfectly fine. Oh BTW it is a bare Dell Streak(No Case) just the phone itself.
[Streak 5 General] alperin1:
Probably just pure luck for you my friend.

In most of my instances my phone had no choice but to break. One I was holding it over my head to get a way from my wife while she was sweeping the floor and like magic the creaking broom handle lauched the phone out of my hand across the kitchen to land ever so sweetly on a hard tile floor. She had a look of horror on her face as I when to fetch the phone and begin me ebay search for the new screen.

Another time the phone was running around naked in my shirt pocket and went I bent over to look a some parts at a recycle center to cars the phone deciced it wanted to meet the hood/bonnet that was just below me on the ground. Now nothing broke this time but I got the bleeding we have seen and that was it for that screen

Hope the otterbox defender I now have actually works. Only time will tell
[Streak 5 General] joule0930:
lol ~ Guess what happened to me? i was unboxing my streak and due to excitement it fell out of my hands. tumbled coupe of times and i couldnt find a scratch even ! That's just amazing. it was atleast .. 60 to 70 cm fall. and on concrete floor. ( and without any protector -.- )

I guess i got lucky?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
You're dropping it wrong!™
[Streak 5 General] SHildebrandt:
ROFL @ Manii's comment and ™
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Hopefully he'll keep practicing until he gets it right! :D
[Streak 5 General] AkumaMax:
ROFLMAO!!!!! Best Quote EVAR!
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
Im on my third screen, and need another one the other times i dropped it from well high onto hard floors, this time its shockingly bad how far it fell and still broke. I was sat on the toilet and my trousers where right down on the floor and the thing slid out of my pocket and hit the floor, probably about 2 inches or 5cm off the floor, and the lcd has started Bleeding, proper **** build quality, but i love my streak! I just hope the fact that its so big and heavy makes it easier to brake the screen cause i want the galaxy note next, and hope it doesnt suffer from the same problems!
[Streak 5 General] kotelette:
my streak felt about 15-20 cm on carpet.

now the left lcd-corner is bleeding, not so bad at all (the rest is still visible of the screen), but i'm a little bit pissed. the glass has no damage at all not even the casing has signs of the "impact".

contacted dell support (3 months old phone) and maybe they're nice to me...
[Streak 5 General] Barry (NJ):
Weird... I keep my Streak in my back pocket, (I often sit on it) and I've dropped it a few times on concrete or asphault (in a generic protective case) and not had a single issue. Go figure :confused:
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I dropped mine today, from a height of approximately 4-1/2 feet onto a tile floor. The Otterbox Commuter case paid off. Absolutely no damage whatsoever, but oh man did I panic.
[Streak 5 General] anaxagorasbc:
I called dell for a hardware problem with my phone which needs to be replaced and they told me the same thing. Apparently there's no waiting list. And they had the nerve to close my ticket and send me a survey.. they got a scathing response.
[Streak 5 General] :
I skied all last season with the streak in my backpack (an outer pocket at the top of the pack) and despite a few good falls at high speeds and after 15+ foot cliffs the streak remained unscathed. Maybe I'm just lucky.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] BrNoMen:
Hi all. I've been wondering this for a while.

For you guys who have used them and know how are they...

What's the main difference between them? Which one do you recommende to use?

I was going for kpn, but suddenly some custom roms started using kpo (being able to use kpn as well)

So, which one do you recommend me ? Kpn or kpo?

In case of kpo, it should be kp7 or kp1? ( I guess it's kp1)

Thanks in advance.!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] er.davinder:
Going by the chronological order i would flash KPO ...

And the only difference between KP7 and KP1 is the CSC

KP1 has the Canada csc , where KP7 is Russian

[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
Guys i have good news the samsung galaxy sl gets more quadrant than the S

on same tweaks

:D

proof:watch this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXk84fKXAVQ&feature=colike
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kalki:
o f.... I have to commit suicide :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] romdroid.:
same specs on both but diffrent gpu/cpu, and honestly i prefer super amoled before super lcd
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
sl did not had a lock on gps - the gps icon blinked on both = gps deamon was still searching fix means you gd preloaded location on sl - changing ntp server basicly does not impact gps performance

galaxy s on some shoots seems to have autobrighteness on so screen goes darker
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
Galaxy sl is trim down version of galaxy s i9000 so even if it gets 100000 quadrant score still it can't beat super amoled screen and hummingbird processor in real world
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
No both were at full brightness it's an unbiased review we in the end we conclude that s is better but i was surprised sl got a better score in quadrant
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i would like to see cfbench runed on both - ofc clean phone, latest stock firmware no rooting no kernels nothin

and a real gps test comparisment of both lined on window ledge (because none will fix indoors) with wirless networks aiding deactivated

best would be first gps run after flashing stock firmwares for both
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
Check my signature for part 1 which has stock firmware test
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ok so the quadrant score on second was boosted by well known tweaks to boost quadrant score - well useless test then =)

anyways i would like to se cfbench on both and a real gps test, still you have blinking gps icon = that means no fix
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
In the first the sl had a beta gingerbread tom which had a bug where quadrant and other application never made use of,in the second a fixed firmware is used and cf root is applied on both, if u still have trouble believing me FYI the slowly uses a omap similar to the droid x,as we all know a stock droid x has been getting a better score than the s you can observe that in the comparison chart by quadrant,as with your query ill be making a part 3 soon with cf bench.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
and please not root at all - cfroot also aplies some tuning on the flash

just pure stock :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
Oh my god, it's such a dumb-a$$ rewiev, bad english and even worse cam. And it's all just a difference in the firmware. If you trimm the galaxy with a custom rom and may overclock your phone to 1,6ghz then you will get 3600+ in quadrant, does it matter? no, quadrant isnt a real benchmark with that you can compare a phone, its just image, nothin less.

And the sgsl has a super-lcd screen, which totally sucks :P true story :D Super-AMOLED ist the superior type of display.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] phzi:
It's quadrant... It doesn't mean anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
Quadrant does not mean anything,did you watch the whole video?,galaxy s was the winner in the end,as with my accent im sorry for the inconvenience.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
but still i would like to see cfbench numbers =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
Install latest clean rom on both devices and compare browsing speed, games apps ,and than upload a video
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hextence:
I guess you are the only guy who thing Cannon EOS D7 is a "worse cam"

Its one of the best DSLR out there!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] random_username_:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
Well dude, sry for being so unfriendly :o Wasnt meant that way :) Of course you could improve your english a bit by stayin in contact with english-speaking people ;) Thats my way to improve the language.

But actually its all up to the firmware of the phone. one year ago sgs was so bad in quadrant. It had always something about 800-1000 points. Not more. But with some work on the firmware by the sammy dev's they improved the jit compiler and now the phone beats even the nexus one and so on on the scale. I had my phone powered up to 3600 score with using darkys rom and a great kernel (1,6ghz). But actually it doesnt really matter...

The most important thing is, that you can use your phone as you want ;) If your sgsl doesnt lag, its great. But the development is a little bit slow atm.

ciao dude ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Landorin:
Yawns, I enjoy my Galaxy S gingerbread speed. If it'd go any faster, I'd have to run (and recharge the phone even more often). ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
U

Ill be honest with you,the main purpose of the video was to drive developers to get some awesome ports from the mighty galaxy s to the sl ,its kinda boring when you don't even have cm7.FYI my first language is English.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adityahbk:
LOL

SUPER AMOLED IS BETTER THAN SUPER LCD... and quadrant score makes no sense since we can manipulate em'
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iLHaNroID:
I am new to SGS, hv bought mine just two weeks ago and flashed the latest stable Simply Honey ROM, gb 2.3.4 and Talon kernel for SH, also overclocked to 1200 MHz. Quadrant score is now 2361, and Antutu benchmark shows 3271, compared to official gb SGS phone of a colleague of mine, it was 978 in quadrant! does that make sense?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hextence:
Yeah. Something is seriously wrong with your colleague's phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamchirobe:
The sl gets more than 978 in froyo itself
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alexx910:
Actually a good idea :) Of course it sucks, that the phone is hardware-based like sgs, but ports are difficult, cause its at the same moment so extremely different. Hopefully one of the devs has both phones and can make some improvements. But in my opinion CM7 is not that good to keep it running on your phone. Of course you have the newest firmware (2.3.5) but that isnt a point that drives me to install it on my phone. I tried it often and I dont like the pure AOSP experience... :D Thats not my thing. Thats why I'm using darkys rom 10.3. Still missing TW4, but doesnt matter at all :)

[Focus General] kimck99:
Hi,

I have a "Walshed" Focus to get to 7390. Since then, I have been unsuccessful in "UnWalshing". When trying to update to 7392, I get stuck in reboot at step 6.

So I decided to try the Mango upgrade from 7390 - to which I've read that some have been successful going from 7390 (not necessarily from a Walshed device) to Mango.

Well, my phone gets stuck at reboot and when I run the ISV_Provisioning_live.exe following the Mango upgrade steps, I get an timeout error.

So at this point, I'm stuck at 7390 and thinking that I need to reflash my phone to 7004 and build up from there. However, I can't seem to find instructions for flashing a Samsung device. In the WP7 development forum, I only see instructions for flashing HTC devices.

Can someone point me to:

1. Instructions for flashing Samsung, Focus if it's device specifc.

2. Where can I get a Samsung 7004 ROM?

Thanks.
