Question???

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
I am on the orange UK network but I have no experience of HD voice. How could I tell if it was working?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwiz:
Firstly apologies for posting in the wrong section, I have found the solution

If you type in the following code in the dialer you will get through to an engineering menu that will show you your WB AMR (technical term for HD Voice) status

*#*#197328640#*#*

Then use the following options and this will tell you your WBAMR status

[5] Audio

[7]WB AMR setting – this will show you the WB status

If disabled, click on enable! Then find someone with a Galaxy S2 and give them a call to test it out!

... but not for Xperia Play?

GTA III will be released this autumn (no exact release date) for Android and iOS but in order to assure a quality standard it will be only compatible with these devices:

- Apple iOS Devices: iPad 2, iPhone 4S

- Android Phones: Droid X2, HTC Evo 2, LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy S2

- Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...uto-iii-10th-anniversary-edition-for-sel.html

-----------

Let me think... Rockstar did a port of GTA III for PSP, wich has a 333 MHz CPU and now it needs a 1GHz dual CPU for porting it to Android?

What the fact is this sheet?

UPDATE: Wait! On the comments we can read an answer from Rockstar:

Let's hope to see the Xperia Play added to that list.
[Xperia Play General] kupo5131:
What a crock of...

I read the title and got really excited then. Screw you Rockstar! Lol.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
why bother with the spanish post when in fact the link to Rockstar is at the bottom of the page? :rolleyes:

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswi...uto-iii-10th-anniversary-edition-for-sel.html

additionally, it says "currently confirmed to be supported at launch," that means we may be seeing more devices to be supported weeks or months from launch. don't give up your hopes yet.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
Link updated.
[Xperia Play General] NeoandGeo:
I highly doubt they will pass up the only mobile device with a proper gamepad for this game.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
OH WAIT!

Looking on the comments, a guy from Rockstar answers some comments:

Maybe there's any possibility for the Xplay? Let's hope so.:o
[Xperia Play General] gmfeny:
What's the EVO 2
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
then sell it for $15.. OMG! :D
[Xperia Play General] clewis:
If it doesn't support the play I'm sure a cracked apk will come.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:

[Xperia Play General] NeoandGeo:
Pay for the app that doesn't work on your device, and then do the above referenced!
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
why pay if you knew in the first place that it won't work on your device? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
So you could legally mod it to run on the XP. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
i wouldn't bother.. :p
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Paying for it won't allow you to lawfully modify it. Closed source programs like this game give you a licence to reproduce the contents of the game in the officially compatible devices tied to your account, they don't allow you to adapt the game so that it's compatible with more devices.
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
Where is it written that once you purchase it you can't modify it to play on your device? I understand you can't distribute it legally because you're basically buying the right to use it for personal use. Apple doesn't allow you to jailbreak your phone (obviously people do it) and they've even tried to sue and lost because once you buy it, it's yours. If apple decides to void your warranty and deny you support that's their right, but they can't do jack to you if you modify it.

Any developer doesn't care because they've already made their money off you, if you want to break it trying to edit it to work on your unsupported device what's it to them? Now if you edit it and redistribute it.....whole other story.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
maybe for personal use AND KEEPING IT TO YOURSELF it's okay, but modification for mass production, it's nowhere behind promoting warez..

it's written "somewhere"...

ever heard of Intellectual Property Rights Law? I guess not...

from modification to altering WITH OR WITHOUT distribution without consent, it doesn't matter, it's piracy, it's all covered under that law.. not only does it apply to software like APKs but to everything that is the product of intelligence..
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
Yep intellectual rights prohibits modification of the original software or reverse Engineering, only way around it would be to modify your device to spoof one of the devices listed or create a layer of software to act inbetween the orignal one and your device. But the latter is just emulation :p
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
The difference between buying an iPhone and buying software is licenses. When you pay for a physical device, you buy that physical device. The store or wherever you bought it from no longer to own the device, now you own it. You can then do what you want to it.

When you pay for software, you don't actually buy the software itself. What you are buying is a license to *use* the software. The company who made it still owns the software...not you. You cannot modify it in any way, unless the EULA actually specifies that you can.
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
Yea but when you buy an iPhone you're not just buying hardware you're buying the right to use the software on that phone as well. So how is it Apple tried to sue people for modifying their software (jail breaking and breaking EULA) and lost. You also don't see anyone getting sued when they write a mod for a game like TF2 or the older battle field games which modify the original files and that's copywrited with an EULA and they are actually distributing their mod. So I'm going to say unless you modify it and try to sell/redistribute it somehow (provided you bought it) you're fine.
[TouchPad General] fred02171:
I'm looking forward to cm7. (I need adhock networking support built in.) I only have the 16gb model touchpad. I probably will run cm7 exclusively due to space limitations.

I haven't used android/cm7. I'm curious what I'm likely to miss from webos if anything? Maybe someone who has cm7 on the nook color maybe be able to offer some insight?

Games are a lower priority for me. Right now I use the tablet mostly for web surfing with flash, email, calendar, google docs, and google music beta. Does CM7/android offer better a better user experience my purposes?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sannpt:
Battery stats are jumping and showing inconsistent information

Hello,

I have a strange problem with my rooted and S-OFF’ed Aria for the last six months and I have been trying to find a solution or a fix to the problem ever since.

The battery percentage is always incorrect and never shows any percentage value greater than 30 even after 8-10 hours of charging and drains within an hour phone shuts off. The phone is basically useless for me right now.

I did try all the calibration methods and other solutions (listed below) that I could find in the web and the forums here, but none seem to have fixed the issue.

Soft Reset

Hard Reset

Format System, data, cache partitions

Installed all available ROMs in the community (Liberated, CM 6, CM 7, Stock Original, Stock Update for 2.1, Stock Update with Froyo (2.2) etc).

Battery Calibration of all known procedures (Delete batterystats, discharge fully, recharge fully etc)

Did a task 29 (fastboot oem task 29)

Replaced with a brand new original battery from ATT.

Now with S-OFF, I cannot fully revert to Stock version or send it for Warranty repairs etc (Is there a way to revert to S-ON)?

So now turning on to the experts in this community to help me out and you guys are really awesome in guiding others and fixing things. Hoping to hear from someone.

Btw, I found a similar symptoms and “solution” in the Atrix forum. Please refer link below.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Have you tried wiping battery stats, then just using the phone normally? (not letting the battery totally discharge, etc.)

Did the problem only start happening after you S-OFF, or did it happen before then?

It does sound to me like there's nothing you would be able to do about the problem, except reverting to S-ON and sending the phone in for warranty service. Supposedly there is a method for doing this although I have no idea how complicated it would be. You should probably go to the #liberatedAria IRC channel to ask about how to do it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sannpt:
Thanks for your reply, drumist

Yes, I tried wiping the batterystats and used the phone normally for couple weeks, still no difference.

The problem started months before I did S-OFF, possibly due to multiple format, flash of ROMs etc. Somehow the phone or the battery doesn't know the correct readings/voltage data.

The max voltage on a full 8-10 hours charge that I have seen is only 3.8 v (new and old battery) and ideally it should be >4 v for a full charge.

Thanks,
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Yeah. It sounds to me like the mechanism in the phone that is supposed to charge the battery is failing to charge it above a certain threshold. Either that or the mechanism that measures the voltage is failing. You could figure out which one is the case by measuring the battery's voltage with a multimeter if you have one.

I know this is a long shot, but have you tried charging the phone with a different USB cable, or with a different USB power adapter, or by plugging into a different power socket in the wall (or using a different computer if you are charging through a computer USB port)?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sannpt:
Today I tested both batteries using a multimeter and both had voltage > 4 (old battery: 4.19 v new 4.18 v). I tested this after charging the batteries through the phone, so it proves phone charging is working fine and the batteries are good.

Then I went to CWM and deleted the batterystats, pulled the battery out, waited for couple minutes, put it back in and restarted to generate a fresh stats file.

But the voltage displayed in the phone is totally wrong (3456 mv) and showed 20%, so there is something wrong with how the phone understands full battery voltage and percentage.

I waited for the phone to discharge and shut off (which was <10 mins), then checked the battery voltage in multimeter, it was still good at 4.10 v (lost only about .09 mv).

Is there anything that we can do to override or correct the voltage and percentage in the phone?

Thanks,

[Desire General] Peelypeel:
So I've had my desire a year, been on Three's Sim15 plan, where its sim only and i get 2GB of data. Been tethering fine for that whole year. Now i'm in new halls of residence (Uni dorm) and the internet is awefull. So i moved my plan over to sim10 with all you can eat data, figuring id continue to tether, no problem. Well its been a day and now every time i go to a website on my PC, i get blocked by threes "your not allowed to tether" website.

Basically, I've tried Barnicle, pdaNet 3, easy tether and wifi tether, all to no avail (i even set my chrome user gent to that of android, didn't work). Do i have any hope of getting round this annoying block, or am i going to have to live with internet only on my phone.

Sorry if I've posted in the wrong place, or been ignorant to Tethering developments, but i wasn't able to find anything on the matter.
[Desire General] elliottg61:
are you in the uk?
[Desire General] Peelypeel:

[Desire General] Peelypeel:
I am on CM7.1

i don't think its a case of ROM's. But i suppose i could try Oxygen real quick. Like i said, it used to work fine on the 30 day rolling contract, but now its a 12th month contact, im getting told off.

Like i said before, would a VPN hide all my traffic? if i connected to it on my phone, and then tethered to my pc.

[edit] just tried oxygen, didn't help, still get the tether splash page.
[Desire General] usual_suspect:
Ok, there's your problem, the plan change.

Three only allow tethering officially on either the one plan or with the Add internet max add-on. See link ...

http://ask3.three.co.uk/srvs/cgi-bi...sername=Mobile:mobileUser?s_search=helpsearch

The 2GB internet on your old sim 15 plan was applied via free add internet max add-on, which Three allow tethering on.

It seems recently Three have started enforcing these rules (they havnt in the past) and must have applied some kind of detection to the network.

Im on the old sim 15 plan still with add internet max 2Gb add-on free and can still tether, as per Three's terms and conditions.

One thing you could try is changing the APN from Three.co.uk to 3internet, I cant promise it will work but worth a try, as doing that does get round Three's adult content filter at least ;)

Cheers
[Desire General] Peelypeel:
Thanks for your answer usual, at least now i know why i could tether before. I've solved my problem by spending a little more money. I got a VPN, and login to it with my phone, then tether to my PC. So three don't see a single packet of readable data go through there network, so no way to detect if its my phone or PC. Works perfectly. 20GB downloaded so far :) Paying for a VPN certainly beats paying for unlimited tethered data.
[Desire General] shahdhah:
Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows how to override 3's tether block on iPhone 4?? Turns out they major screwed me over on my new contract, they gave me all you can eat data, but conveniently left out the part that I wouldn't be allowed to tether as it is only on the One Plan that you can do this! I have a separate PAYG 3 sim where I can get a £15 add on for the unlimited data that I'm using for the tethering now! It's so stupid having to pay twice just because they won't allow it. If anyone could help me I'd be SO grateful!

I am a bit new to all this, I'm quite technologically minded etc but I couldn't figure out the VPN stuff to see if it worked with iPhone.(I just tried this, turns out they cannot run together, when personal hotspot is connected, vpn disconnects, unless im doing it wrong)

Again any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire General] 325i.:
Well done mate, have you got a guide on how you managed it?
[Desire General] A|ex:
the only way i found was to jailbreak phone and then install tethering app. if your connected to three and not on the right plan they can make the hotspot thethering option vanish to stop your sharing.

[Desire General] dotuletz:
I'm reviving a 2012 thread... sorry but i wanted to answer this because i was just search how to block teether on Three uk network.

1. You get a free/paid VPN, maybe that has gateways in your country (show be faster),

2. then you set up your phone : System settings - More settings - VPN - Add VPN - put any name, select connection type (usually PPTP) and put the server address (any other settings depends on the VPN you use)

3. the new VPN will show up in the list, tap once

4. put the username / password provided by the free/paid VPN provider.

Enjoy...

now i'm trying some free VPNs...for now, maybe i'll try some trials from paid ones and then decide because i don't see the point in buying a VPN if i can only get 500kb/s

[Desire General] dotuletz:
@frosty68: what do you mean results ? i can teether using pdanet+ with Hide teether usage to level2 but it breakes some web pages, so before that try not to hide teether or level 1. For torrent i just use a free vpn and get about 200KB/s. I maxed out at 500KB/s, just like i wasn't using a VPN... but that speed depends on tracker, seeds etc.. plan: All you can eat data without teether at £15 / 16

@dethrat: that is great. think if i'll go in 3 store and complain they will give me better speed or at least teether because sometimes pdanet+ at level2 brakes some pages (fb, yahoo mail etc)
[Desire General] dethrat:
I doubt that would ever work as you've already signed your contract. You're already locked in so why would they give you free stuff now.

Negotiation doesn't work after you've bought it
[Desire General] andrewtjb:
You could try ringing them up and asking them to remove the tether block I did a while ago when they first started doing it and I ain't had a blocked message since and im only on a £13 a month contract.
