[Xperia Play General] DrROBschiz:
THANK YOU for clearing this misconception up!

Also Back on the Topic.

The main problem with Vita (as mentioned above) is that most of its potential will not be available to you until it is opened up (unlocked, cracked, jailbroken etc.).

You are likely going to be stuck only using what sony provides which will still be pretty darn good. Massive selection of psp games, ps1 classics, psn games... all at launch (since most of this stuff is already on psn).

Your best bet at emulating older systems up to the psx and playing mobile games is still the Xperia play. You get the convenience of it being a phone (among other things) as well as it being a great bang for your buck. This price just keeps dropping!

I'm sorry but any way you slice it the Xperia Play is an incredible value especially if you are a gamer. Just my opinion.

Let's see, what's better? A Phone, a Dualcore Tablet, or a dedicated gaming handheld that's not even out yet?

Apples, Oranges, and Bananas.
[Xperia Play General] jkr284:
i will have all 3 lol, already have the play and tablet s.

X play for phone, emulators, jogging with runkeeper and music, control pad optimized games.

Tablet S for couch/coffee shop and in bed surfing/movie playback/reading and touch friendly games.

PS Vita as hardcore home console and portable games. Hoping its like the PSP go where you can hook it up to a tv and use dual shock 3 etc.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I had a go on the new sony tablet today in pcworld, very average to put it nicely!
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
I'm 100% positive the Vita will not have Dual Shock support or TV out.

I think they're trying to make it less a competitor for the PS3 by doing that, while also nullifying the argument of "If I was going to play at home I'd use a REAL console" that I would always hear from 360 fanboys :rolleyes:

Unless there will be a tablet with hardware gamepad don't get it for gaming.

on the other hand Onlive.com in us and onlive.co.uk in the uk is very promising alternative for not chasing new and latest hardware All the time. Once they (very soon promissed) launch android app any tablet could be connected with a regular console controller and you just play latest games from the cloud (or maybe your own pc using rdp or similar ) as long as you are online. Same is no problem with xplay. The point i,m making is that the specs of tablet without hardware gamepad are not so important in my opinion for gaming.

For offline hardcore gaming vita will be the best.

Hope it helps.

OnLive launched there app for android ages ago with the HTC Flyer. At the moment it's just a viewer though and you can't actually play anything :p This version works fine with the play ;)

Hi,

I have this ROM.

Currently my Notification Bar has only the power controls, similar to this:

Can I install something so I can get both power controls and last used applications, like this:

Sorry for the stupid question, maybe there is allready an answer, but, actually, I did not knew what to search since I do not know the real names of what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

You need a full HTC Sense ROM. Full sense roms are recommend for the TMOUS version of the HD2 since they have more internet memory. Full HTC Sense roms require lots of memory to install all widgets.

i grabbed a 4g lte hotspot from Verizon and managed to save about 600 on my phone bill. Skype for calling, Google voice for txt, even forwarded call that call my g voice number to my Skype number
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
What do you mean-like the galaxy tab? Anyway, I've used groove ip with my google voice #.Works fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jruasap:
I do this as well, it works incredibly well. You can even tether to an android phone and make calls over 4g (3g works, but lags a little) and really stick it to the man! lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
Why make calls while tethered Why not just make the call on the phone your tethering from
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Galaxy tab as in THE Galaxy tab, not the cheap spin off with Honeycomb. Those come fully equipped as phones and that's actually what I keep in my pocket. Unless you get some gimped version from some operators, that's it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pippoparecchio:
Sorry ... my mistake .

I meant like GT 7" which is possible to use as a normal phone, using the sim not only for data connection but also for phone calls.

Other 3G tablets, AFIK, use the sim ONLY for data connection. I was asking if there is a hack to use also for phone calls as the GT 7"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamantericos:
Just use skype is only 3.95 unlimited us calls landing and cells
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Yes I would rather use the phone for phone calls but it's nice to have the ability.

Lets say I'm in one room and the phone is in another. I can pick up the TF

and make a call (using GrooveIP). I also use Tablet Talk and if I get a call one my phone while using my TF, a message pop up giving the caller's infos. I can call right back using the TF.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Judging by the nick of the op, I'd say he's Italian. That by itself dosen't make Skype a bad idea, however... If I got it right and if where he lives is anything like here, he'd need to carry a phone to tether to. Around here not even the lonely McDonalds has wifi! Makes Skype a good idea only on paper.

Edit wait what the.... How did I miss the "g"? Now my whole post makes very little sense.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khoryl:
GrooveIP and google voice is probably nice for US and canada... What about the rest of the world? ^^

I have the TF101G eee-pad and an android smartphone (HTC desire) but only one sim. For batery life time reasons (and by taste) I don't use tethering. So if I put my sim in the TF I can receive calls and thats bad isn't it?

The opportunity to use voice on the TF would be just more confortable... Do you have any other proposal than the one only availlable on your side of the Atlantic ;)?

regards.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesilverhawk:
is that oscar from the office?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khoryl:
Nice picture...

But using handfree headset you can work on your 3g eee-pad and get a call when it comes.

So do you have any clue on what can be done?

Precision:

This without using skype cause I don't want to pay "twice" to pass a call as I has unlimited calls on my cellular?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwi32:
Skype anybody ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pippoparecchio:
First of all tnx to all the answers.

All you proposed is right but not what I want.

I'm asking to use the pad as a normal gsm mobile phone since I have a gsm modem and a gsm sim in it.

Why should I use data traffic + skype call costs if I can use voice traffic for calls?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coacheric:
I have the same question as pippo_73, can you use(with a blue tooth headset) the TF as a normal cell phone, I mean not the VOIP-way like Skype, etc in Europe?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burkhardt:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jajbrouwers:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1305810095_Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk

Oke i know that the origenel Facebook from the market doesen't work that well on the Tab.

So i have tryed to install an old version of Facebook, wiche i have also on my SGSII, This version is the only one for me that gets all the newsfeed etc!

So i dowload the Facebook.apk (1.5.4) Then i used root explorer to move the apk.file to system/apps, then i clicked on the file and choose install!

It works great on my tab 10.1 (GT-7510) its works smooth and fast! :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
I'll try this out.

EDIT 1: I get an error during login "An error occurred during sign in. Please try again later" (my internet connection is working fine)

Stay tuned...It might just be one of my settings somewhere, give me a minute.

EDIT 2: Yep it was, I fixed it.

Looks like its working great, thanks for the download.

I find it easier to just adb install it since my GT is already connected to the computer and I'm on the computer. No need to take all the extra time to move to SD card, open an app, move the file to system, then install it.

For those of you who don't know how to do this:

1. Connect the device to your computer with USB Debugging enabled

2. Open command prompt and type "cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools" (or wherever your Android SDK adb files are)

3. Type "adb devices" and make sure it's reading your device

4. Put the .apk into the root of your C: drive if you haven't already. (of course you don't HAVE to if you know what you're doing and are comfortable doing it)

5. Type in command prompt "adb install c:\Facebook_for_Android_1.5.4.apk"

6. Wait for it to install successfully, unplug your device, and you should have the App in your App Drawer.

Note1: If you already have a facebook app installed, you might have to uninstall before doing this.

Note2: Don't add the quotes when typing in Command Prompt, just type what's inside the quotes.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] billylim99:
can i install the apk on my unrooted tab ??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jajbrouwers:
You need root, because its a apk.file so you need to push it into youre system:-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] billylim99:
so it is not the normal .apk file where i just open n install?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] skade:
samsung gtab10.1 unrooted reporting to say I can install the APK just fine. One problem I have is that the app force closes all the time when I try to load the friends tab.

Anyone else with the same issue?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
I havent had that issue. Being rooted shouldnt change anything because it doesnt need superuser permissions.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jajbrouwers:
Well first i instald it like the normal way, it worked... Except the notifications, when i looked furthure i saw that the apk file did't show up in system/apps.

Show the instalation worked but diden't push the file tru!

So then i removed the app, and thoke the apk file and copy it to system/apps by using root explorer. Then i clicked the apk file in system/apps and select instal, basecly its same instalation but now youre sure the file is pushed where it shoud be:-) right?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
Correct. Does it work fine after doing that?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] just4747:
Why would it matter at all if you install this normally or push into system/app? I don't think with an app like FB that it matters...installing the apk normally seems to be the same as getting it from the Market..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] MagicOnline:
best FB app is the browser. no need for an extra app to access FB, IMO.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
This is true. He's saying when he installed with sdk, it had the app but it wasnt in system/app....I think thats what he said.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jajbrouwers:
Oke its youre opion:-)

I hate the look on the new fb app and the browser...... You will see on top of the news feeds reports etc.! I dont like it:-) this version will show you all youre newsfeed in the timeline that thee are post it, nice, clean and easy to see whats all going on!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:

Can someone tell me how to get facebook chat to work on the browser ? I've tried opera, stock, dolphin, in both desktop and tablet user agent. Pressing enter on the keyboard does not send the chat message, or post on the wall, etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Tivo7:
It is the same. Some people are weird. :P

...no offence :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] jajbrouwers:
Well I tried to explain earlier...

When I installd it thre normal way, the notifications dident work for me.

So I pushed the apk to system/apps and instal it from there.

Now it al works, I don't wy it was not fully working on the normal first instal... So that's why I mentions the push tru style :)

No offence :) lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] jprakes:
I'm trying to root my g/f's Charge, and there is an immense amount of information on this forum about it, so much so, I am getting confused. I have an Incredible and I am more than comfortable rooting/kernels/roms with it, but I am having a hard time with the Charge. My g/f just wants a rooted Charge (she has EE4), running stock. (she is afraid she will have problems/glitches with her phone like I have with experimental stuff with my Incredible).

So, I can follow the directions for rooting here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657 but I am very confused on how/when to install(or whatever you do) the voodoo lag fix. Is voodoo lagfix just a kernel or something else? If it's a kernel, once I have CWM recovery, if I flash voodoo lagfix, will it give me root access? I know I seem rather lost, but any help would be most appreciated. I'm trying to find the simpliest/lowest maintanance/less problematic way to get her root access without her having problems with it when I am not around.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
The Voodoo lagfix is just a version of kernel that you can install that changes the filesystem. If you just want stock, just flash a non voodoo kernel and u will still have root.

There are pre-made packages which should make it easier on u by cutting back steps. Grab the rooted EE4 package here.

All you have to do is extract the tar, then flash in Odin and you're good to go.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jprakes:
So, couple more newb questions (sorry). Installing a new kernel will not wipe her phone as long as I don't data wipe correct? Also, I keep reading that the voodoo lagfix is a lot faster, but is it really stable and pretty worry free? Like I said, it's for my g/f, and I'm not around all the time to help with it if she has problems. I mainly want to install Titanium backup and get rid of most of the bloatware and hope that the voodoo fix will make it quicker in general.

But my understanding so far is, run Odin, install CWM, then install the kernel of my choice for root access. Again, sorry for the questions. The guides that are out are really helpful, but I get confused at some of it and Odin/Samsung are a whole new animal to me.

I'm sure there will be more questions to come. Thanks ahead of time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] d-loko:
Correct. It's recommended that you wipe cache & dalvik though (will not affect what you see).

Voodoo lagfix converts the filesystem to one that is the Linux standard which improves I/O performance. As far as being worry free, I can't guarantee she won't run into problems down the road, whether it's with an OTA update or other program she downloads that is not compatible with the changed filesystem. If you want to be safer than sorry, I'd say to just skip it altogether.

All you need to do is run Odin and flash the extracted ROOTED EE4 package I linked above. This package already has a rooted kernel AND CWM baked in. But normally yes, those would be the next steps.

Just be sure to fully read the Odin instructions and follow them accordingly if it's your first time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
If you want root access without losing ANY of the stock stuff (i.e. kernel, recovery) this is another option that may work for you:

Go to

this site

, download the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file and put it on your g/fs sd card.

Assuming the drivers are installed on the computer being used and USB Debugging (under Settings > Applications > Development) is checked on the phone, start

Odin 1.83

(this is the version I used at least).

With the phone OFF (some say take out the battery, some say leave it in), connect phone to computer while holding the volume-down button - should now enter "Download" mode (yellow android on screen).

After UNchecking Auto-Reboot (and replacing the battery if you took it out), under PDA flash 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 (found

here

).

If ODIN says it was successful, disconnect phone, but DO NOT RESTART PHONE YET!!

Hold down vol up + home key + power - you will see the samsung logo, but continue holding all three until it goes away then comes back (I've seen other combinations mentioned, but this is what has worked for me).

If done correctly, you should now boot into CWM recovery. To flash in CWM simply select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and navigate to wherever you put the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file on the sd card and select it. Once done select reboot system now (may have to select Go Back to get to this option - I can't recall).

What is nice about this approach is that once you reboot your phone, the CWM you flashed in ODIN will be overwritten by the stock recovery, making your phone exactly as it was prior to ODIN - with the exception of being rooted and Superuser installed. Also, this is a "brief" listing of steps - I agree with d-loko that you should read up on using ODIN if you haven't used it before.

Hope this helps, and if not, or if it wasn't what you were looking for ... feel free to disregard!
[Verizon Droid Charge] jprakes:
I'm hoping my last question, and it concerns sdcard problems. Will the rooted EE4 package give her problem free access with her sdcard while using the phone AND when connecting to her computer, or do I need to use lagfix. The SDcard problem/solutions are confusing me a bit.

thanks for the alternative option, much appreciated. I don't have a problem with using CWM, I have it on my rooted Incredible, so I'm very used to it. But I do like having options, so thanks for the reply.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Flash the file found

here

in CWM after ODINing the EE4 package - that should do the trick. Just make sure it's on the sd card before ODINing the EE4 package - just in case!

No problem, I'm a fan of options as well!

Hello,

i have a problem when using GPS and wi-fi. the hone restarts after a few minutes when using any app with GPS.

when using GPS and 3G , the phone doesn't restart anymore.

Also when using GPS Status, no results are displayed when downloading GPS data . The circle is spinning endeslly. Of course, the app will restart at some point if Wi-fi is enable.

Any help out there ?

Thanks everybody.

PS: the device is a Defy, obvious; OS - Miui 1.9.16

Is your defy "undervolted" ?
[Defy General] sefrial:
i don't think so.

according to Setvsel app, when running at 1 Ghz , the voltage is at 58 .

i will run a stability check and return with the results, but until then then i'm opened to any other suggestions.
[Defy General] sefrial:
the issue still occurs on the new MIUI release 1.9.23.

I'm thinking maybe the kernel is not OK. I would flash a new one but I don't know which .

:confused:

MiUi & WiUi bug.
[Defy General] sefrial:
MIUI bug indeed. The issue doesn't occur on CM7 after selecting the correct region with Baseband switcher.

I hope MIUI guys will fix this in the next versions. until then i changed to CM7 .
