Currently no. Seeing as software has yet to catch up to hardware, and really never has in this technological era. >.>

So with such info, one can make the statement to say the latest hardware is never needed, atleast in its time. Sooo... lets all throw away our core i7's, 1080p displays, Radeon HD 6990, and go back to the good ol' pentium 4 with integrated Intel graphics.

the new android os (ice cream sandwich) is supposed to support dual-core processors. If this does end up happening, it won't be long till there are apps such that do make use of the dual-core as well.

All depends on the software taking advantage of dual-core or not.

Similar scenario happened on desktop PC few years ago, and dual core cpu performed worse than similar clocked single core cpus when running non-optimized software. Took a period of time for the software to take up.

I personally used the stock email for a while on a custom email address, but recently changed my email to forward to a gmail address, and configured gmail settings to allow me to send mail from my custom address. Now gmail is integrated nicely with everything and it's not an @gmail.com email :)

That is, of course, if you want gmail.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunawan-1:
I follow the instruction from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274409

and this is the download link:

http://www.multiupload.com/L4ZWC6H3HQ

I extract the file I download, it contain:

META-INF folder, few files with ".sin" extension, as long as I know, it should be one single ".ftp" file. (correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not sclever about this) and put the ".ftp" file in Flash-firmware folder. Right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
i see what ya doing :)

firstly, the file you flash is an ftf (stands for FlashTool File)

and secondly, you dont need to extract it :)

just place the file you downloaded ***R800i_4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212).ftf*** in the firmware folder of flashtool

open the flashtool program

click flash and select the firmware in question

then follow on screen directons (turn phone off, hold back button while plugging in, and wait for the magic to happen)

sometimes, things can sound so much more complicated than they are :) i hope this works for you ^_^
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
I checked the file from your download link and it's the right '.FTF' file and you don't need to extract it unless it's in a .zip or .rar file when downloaded. If it's a FTF file you've downloaded that's the way it should stay and be used with flashtool. Just put it in the 'firmware' folder that got extracted along with x10FlashTool etc.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
it's showing the files in the manner it would if i opened an ftf with 7zip. so what i suggest to you, is to change the .zip of the download to .ftf

but why it shows on your computer as a .zip is weird?!?!!? i looked at the link, and it says .ftf maybe winrar (that is the program you unzip with, right?) changed it?

but change the extension to ftf and try again :)

you MIGHT need to enable "show file extensions for known file types" to do it. but try without first.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunawan-1:
Yeah... I feel wierd too. Everybody already able to flash their rom while I can't. True it is written '.ftp' but when download it, it become '.zip' file.

Or could it be.... some one already change the file?

[Nexus S General] civicdrivr:
I sent my Nexus S in for a faulty rear speaker on August 25th. They received the phone on September 1st. On September 6th, the ticket was updated saying the phone was repaired. Then two days later, the ticket was placed on hold due to a part being on backorder (even though the phone was supposedly repaired two days prior).

I first called Samsung on September 20th to ask for an update. The representative said the ticket didn't have any updates and they opened an expedite ticket (but didn't provide me a ticket number) to get an answer from the repair center.

I called again on the 23rd. Same deal as the previous call. No update, expedite ticket opened, but no ticket number.

I called on September 27th asking for another update. No update in the ticket, but this representative actually gave me an expedite ticket number to reference.

I called today, October 3rd. Still no update on the status of the repair. I asked to be transferred to a manager. They transferred me to Executive Customer Relations. After spending 27 minutes on hold I finally got a hold of a representative by the name of Kevin. I asked how long does Samsung hold a phone in a repair status before they ship out a new unit to the customer. He told me Samsung doesn't do that since they don't stock phones at the repair facility (ok, but Im sure Samsung has other facilities that do stock phones - they are the manufacturer after all). He then put me on hold to get an update from the Dock Manager at the repair facility.

He came back after about 4 minutes on hold. He said the Dock Manager has no update from UPS as to when the shipment will arrive. I asked what part were they waiting for and he replied the rear speaker. They thought it was the wiring from the main board to the speaker and replaced that, but the phone still exhibited the same issues as when it first arrived.

I asked if - hypothetically - UPS still doesnt deliver the parts in, say, two weeks, what happens? He responded that a manager will make the decision at that point to replace the phone (but I thought Samsung doesn't replace phones??).

I asked who makes that decision to which he said a "higher up". They conveniently don't have a department name or a phone number because they don't deal with customers. He reiterated that they are waiting on UPS because they will be delivering it. He implied that UPS doesn't even have the parts in their possession yet, so who knows when they will actually be delivered.

I love my Nexus S and was seriously considering getting the Prime, but after this never-ending debacle, I highly doubt I will be purchasing another Samsung device. I'm angry at myself too, because I knew damn well that the speaker was the issue and saw replacements on eBay for under $30. I wanted to keep my warranty intact by having Samsung do the repair, which turned out to be a very bad idea.

Cliffs:

-Rear speaker died on Nexus S

-Sent in over a month ago

-Still no ETA for repair

-Samsung support is worthless

Anyone else have any issues with Samsung support?
[Nexus S General] Royvin:
Wow that is just horrible, sorry to hear that I can't believe they won't send you a new phone that is insane.
[Nexus S General] civicdrivr:
I have to add, that the service reps were very nice throughout this, but the lack of information is frustrating.
[Nexus S General] uansari1:
You'd be surprised at how quickly they will get their act together when you start calling their various numbers and demand a resolution.. Over a month is unacceptable. You just have to be more vocal man.
[Nexus S General] civicdrivr:
What numbers would you suggest? I have called 888-987-4357 as well as 800-522-7341. The teir 3 support number that is floating around online seems to be disconnected.

And no offense to the tier 1 and 2 reps, but they just aren't helping. They are polite, but no matter how many times I call, how many times I *****, they will not do a damn thing. Its always "I'm sorry sir, it's out of out control". I don't know how a company expects customers to be happy when their mantra is "please call back for more information" day after day after day. HTC doesn't do this to their customers.

Someone on another forum suggested I message a few Samsung reps directly through Twitter, which I will be doing once I get back onto my computer.

[Nexus S General] vaughnny:
That's really rough dude. Fortunately it is not a problem I will have to endure because I voided the **** out of my warranty when I rooted.

Anyways I like to make sure to get ID numbers from anyone I talk to on any customer service. It just seems to keep people more accountable when they know the call is recorded and I know who they are. I dunno if it'll help in this situation tho. Seems like there's not much the reps can do if the manager says they're waiting on a part. The suggestions above are all valid, being more vocal and whatnot. That's probably your best bet.
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
It's for reasons like this that i try to keep my cell provider in the loop regarding repairs. Yes, it's a little more awkward dealing with them, but if you end up in a situation like this, then you have another fallback for getting a quick resolution.

I'm in a similar situation, i'm dealing with the search bug, so i'm sending it back and back again and again until i get 3-4 repairs in, then i can go to my provider and say "They can't fix this phone, I would like a different one" and if i'm lucky, by the time i get there, the Prime will be released, if not, i'll get a shinny new nexus S (or maybe the galaxy 2 with cyanogen)

For your current situation, the only thing i can recommend is tie up their people. One of my classic tricks is to "collect" people on the phone. Don't let the reps transfer you, make them conference and keep them on the phone for as long as you can. The upper people will be more careful on how they deal with you as to not give bad examples to the lower people. You are taking the lower people off the general queue, costing the company more money. The longer talk time will also draw the interest of the floor manager (different from a manager you would speak to on the phone) who will do whatever it takes to speed things up.

I once made a rep wait 1 hour on the phone with me cause his "manager" was in a 3 hour meeting that could not be disturbed. after 1/2 hour, he tried everything he could think of to get me off the phone, no avail. after 1 hour, they interrupted the meeting to get the manager on the phone.

Finally, no matter how frustrated you get, don't get rude, pissy or mean. Be firm but always be polite and proffessional.
[Nexus S General] civicdrivr:
Thank you for the tips. I called again around noon and requested to be transferred directly to Executive Customer Relations. I spoke with a gentleman named James. He was very polite, and in about 10 minutes of being on the phone with him, I was told I would get a tracking number by the end of the day. At 6:57EST, I received an email from the generic Samsung delivery service as well as James with the tracking number for a new device.

I must stress that the reps on the phone were really polite. I guess it's just Samsung that is making things difficult. I didn't have this problem with my TV, but that was about three years ago. Im going to have to think long and hard about buying another Samsung device.
[Nexus S General] kmmxracer:
I'm about to go through a similar situation. I shipped my Nexus S in to a Samsung service center in Texas almost 2 weeks ago and received an email today saying my repair is on hold due to parts needing to be ordered.

My issue is a bit more complicated then a speaker but come on! I hate iPhones but st least if you have a issue with your phone, Apple gives you a refurbished one on the spot(RIP Steve).

I'm going to call Samsung tomorrow and see whats going on. I cant wait months!

[Nexus S General] EraqEE:
Samsung has the worst customer service I've ever seen. I live in Canada and their Canadian site only has the number for the American Customer Service centre.

I was put on hold for over 1/2 hour then told to call the Canadian customer service number.

When I called the Canadian number, the reps gave me the number of the wrong service centre so I had to call them again today and ask for a service centre close to my area.

I'm expecting a call tomorrow so I hope everything goes well. My problem is with a Samsung Dryer not a cellphone, but I've experienced the same problems before when I had to call about a cellphone issue.

Overall, they're completely useless but their products are usually solid so you don't have to call them so often!
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
I had not problems finding their number on the Canadian site.

http://www.samsung.com/ca/info/contactus.html

Talking to tech support, i even got a direct number for their Montreal repair facility.
[Nexus S General] EraqEE:
The number you see on their stupid website is the American number. The Canadian number is 1-888-899-7605

I tried the number you mentioned and some lady with a Southern accent answered and she told me they're based in the US. She then transferred me to the Canadian branch which has the number I posted above.
[Nexus S General] Matridom:
I've called the number on the website 4-5 times without any issues. Maybe I'm just lucky.
[Nexus S General] mobilerepairshop:
Dude, that's extremely hard. However, because I lose my warranty when I rooted, I won't have to deal with this issue.

In any case, whenever I speak with a customer support representative, I want to be sure to collect their ID numbers. Just knowing that the call is being recorded and that I am aware of who is on the other end helps to make folks more responsible. But I'm not sure if it will be helpful in this case. If the management states that they are awaiting a part, it seems like the salespeople won't be able to do anything. All of the aforementioned recommendations, such as being more vocal, are sensible. Your best option is most likely that. If this is happening again and again the contact samsung customer service dubai or make a call on +97145864033.

Do you remember what your kernel was before you rooted? if not you can check the stock and carrier specific firmware threads by intratech in the original development forum, this should also provide an original rom for you.

To flash villain

1. boot into recovery (hold vol up, home and power on startup)

2. backup ( so you can resore if you wish)

3. wipe data, cache and dalvik cache in advanced.

4. instal Villain zip from sd

5. reboot

6. ??

7. profit.
