[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filikindri:
Hey you, man from Yakarta, are you sure is the same problem? There is another 0% battery problem which is fixed easily, getting off battery for 30 minutes.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JarekG:
No need to take out for 30 minutes, I only had to take out for maybe like 10 seconds.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filikindri:
No news, damn ****!!!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shtreber:
can i help somehow? my arc is on .283, rooted.

locked BL. PM if somebody needs.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filikindri:
Thanks for you help.

I'm flashing Vodafone Rom, and tomorrow I will send my arc to Sony Ericsson.

Good luck for every body.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMSpurs:
I got a replacement phone back from SE repair recently and I have this problem as my phone was sent back to me with the same battery, my phone reads the charge fine, it's just in battery use it says 20m or 2m remaining even when it's above 90%. Will draining the battery to 0% solve this?

Also if you need a healthy system folder I will help if you tell me how to obtain these files on an unrooted, bootloader locked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
No not the screen but the fact it is pure Android. Boy do I hate manufacturer or networks OS glossy coatings or add-ons, I have yet to meet one I actually liked. At least on the Arc they are fairly light weight. The one thing I admire in iOS is that Apple don't let any of the networks muck around with their software, if only Google was the same.

The other thing related to this I like is the rapid update cycle, none of this lets wait around while we add on all our OS add-ons nonsense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
thats pretty much the only reason anyone gets a Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Well apple has its own muck. Served the way they want to serve it to you. But yeah, the nexus line of phones are not the latest and greatest in specs and i cant figure out why some people think it is. The big catch all with google phones is pure android and the developer support it gets. Google gives a great base foundation to build on software wise and that im sure is a big reason so many developers flock to it. The latest phone still has some question marks on it but they will be answered. Bigtime.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
The only reason I dumped the Nexus One was because of its reception problems, OS wise it was probably, aside from my Arc, the best Android device I have used. I bet in real life use the Nexus will feel quicker than the GS2, not because of its hardware but because it isn't bogged down with the ever lovely Touchwiz!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
I got a SE Xperia X8 (big piece of crap, has kinda good (unofficial; damn SE) support; Nothing to do with current smartphones, even the ones of equal tier) and I really need an upgrade. I got mine just like... 6 months ago, less than that, maybe, but I already feel it being weak and crappy.

Anyway, I got a friend who has the NS (Nexus S) and it runs like a BEAST! It probably can stand up to the Samsung GSII. That's why I want a Nexus. It might not have state-of-the-art hardware, but it's surely WAY better than mine and it's a Nexus. The Nexus line has a huge back end, lots and lots of developers, not to talk about direct Google support and CyanogenMod versions. Most devices' CyanogenMod builds are ports of the Google Phones.

The problem to me getting it is the fact that I got mine sort of recently and the price. I might have to wait for a price cut, or not.

I think ICS looks really really really damn sexy. I like the enchanting blue-ish theme of it. If people get it from the release, there isn't going to be much to it. Just a new OS with a few bugs. It's like getting a Beta phone. But those bugs will be corrected in a matter of a couple of weeks, I strongly believe. It's still a great update.

It will take a while to see good developing for the GN (1, 2 months... maybe more), I guess. It's a matter of seeing what is going to happen. I kinda see the ICS as a re-vamp of all the previous versions, with some really cool features of course. I say it's a great advancement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
precisely. i will say, when the nexus one came out it leapfrogged pretty much everything out there. it seems to me people keep wanting another nexus one type of one up when it comes to specs, but in reality the fact that it's google's baby offsets a fair number of spec sheet "shortcomings".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
Let's see. Gorgeous screen (FU everyone crying about PenTile), ICS, no external buttons, guaranteed timely updates, a developer's dream, it's a winner all over.

I don't care if it's not the beefiest phone, spec-wise. It's fully unlocked and built for ICS. Any phones that get ICS later will still have to deal with having softkeys that don't need to be there any more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Unless I misunderstood the concept, you still have the volume rocket and the Power Button (virtually 3 buttons)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veyka:
Yup, timely updates are the reason I am going with the galaxy nexus, i love quick updates and hate oem customisations.

Also the hardware is nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
He meant no buttons directly tied to the os. The nokia n9 has power and volume rocker buttons still but no other buttons attached directly to os functions.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.D.M.:
same reason here...

1st to have the updates... coming from a ****ty LG...

pure android. no bugs...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
no bugs? you spray raid on your phone. try again. i'm sure we'll run across some critters and hopefully google and cyanogen will address them quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:
Simple, stock Android UI. Likely to have Cyanogen. Pentaband radios.

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
The Nexus One had was a veritable torrent of updates compared to other Android devices I have had. Also there didn't seem much delay in updates in geographical sense, in that didn't seem to matter that I was in the UK rather than the US.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danba:
=> USB Host feature to connect an external USB DAC, an external USB hard drive ...

and the large screen: easier to read
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I will change from the SGS II to the NG because of this reasons.

-Pure Android (a SGS II stock ROM is mostly around 300 MB CyanogenMOD is 100 MB:rolleyes:)

-better development base

-updates

-screen

-curved screen (I miss my Nexus S while doing a call the SGS II is so flat...)

Especially the pure part is important so devs don't have to fix the stupid **** from the manufacturers like a lagging browser when you deodex a SGS II stock ROM...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knut150:
same reason here, to have the updates... coming from a ****ty LG...never, never again...

pure android... can't wait
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonzlobo:
Stock ICS & new hardware. I'd really like an external SD & 8MP, but hey, I'm ready to upgrade from my dInc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
My reason is that crazy sexy screen, and the development base here on xda. I know if there are any problems our great developers here will fix them and make this phone smoother than Google and Samsung could ever imagine.

Side note, so this CPU Max clock is 1.8, correct? Can't wait to have it running on that.

(Btw I buy extra battery's and switch throughout the day as they die. Why have a crazy phone if your going to be worried about battery life? Just put up some more $$ and have more fun with your phone...IMHO)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
I thought you can get pure android on any phone thanks to XDA and that includes rapid updates. I usually go by the looks and the hardware, rather than the software, which I will replace anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GatorsUF:
I heard someone say the NFC chip is in the battery so swapping batteries may take away NFC ability. Unless they sell aftermarket batteries with NFC...

Not sure this is true, just saw it mentioned so figured I'd pass it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rycon33:
i'm going to buy this galaxy nexus phone just because my wife took my Arc and left me currently with the X8

well, actually, that's my plan anyway, LOL

come on singapore, please release it on Nov. also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeitgeb3r:
Reason to get a GNext is because it's not an apple product. I just want to piss steve jobs in his grave.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
Dude, get a grip. Without that man, you wouldn't be expecting a Galaxy Nexus or an Android tablet at all. He maybe didn't invent them, but he did a great job making smartphones and tablets popular.

BTT: I'm considering the GN because I just want an upgrade over my SE X10i (which I still love because of the community in the xda X10 section :D) and in my opinion the GN and the SGS II were the first phones with a big enough speed and hardware gap to be worth the upgrade after all. Besides that, I think the screen and the fact that it's a Nexus device (open bootloader, fast updates) are just awesome on the Galaxy Nexus. Only think I don't like: IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED NEXUS PRIME! Damn you Samsung & Google to not choose this epic name :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
+ 1 on the name point. Nexus Prime would've been awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
I think I remember reading that somewhere also... I can't imagine them not selling and making extra batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eoinoc:
Personally the 'pure' Android experience and timely official updates aren't nearly as important to me as developer support.

Once I root and install CyanogenMod then all that distinguishes different phones is the hardware and developer communities.

Of course there's a catch with ICS in that it'll be a while before CyanogenMod and similar ROMs reach full functionality, so perhaps the pure Android experience will be very important in the mean time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knut150:
for me the pure Android experience and timely official updates are the main reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
Exactly! The development on this phone should be great here on xda... which is a definitely a + when considering to get the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyhd:
sweeeeet. im definitely getting this phone! ICS is gonna be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
Not everyone roots their phones though do they, I certainly have never bothered. It seems especially pointless to me on the Nexus devices where you're not having to clear OS add-ons off of it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
Anyone made a trip to a VZW store where they had the GN in the system (ie got some other info)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
No. Verizon is ripoff and not gsm.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
That info being...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
with previous nexus releases i was able able to pop into a carrier store and get someone to gimme some info they arent supposed to ie price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
Price is very relative...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Yeah it is. For a phone that isnt specced to the max it would be wise of google to not overprice this phone.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
Im guessing 520 for 16 gig 600 for 32
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] borgey:
I wish, it's looking more like 600 for the 16gb and 650 for the 32. That's even if Verizon carries the 32gb version which I highly doubt. They're likely to carry only one version of the device. We would have seen 2 different devices on both of the MAP'd pricing sheets that have leaked over the past 2 weeks. Not sure if you guys seen it (probably have) but a new one just leaked yesterday and there's still only pricing for one device on it. Leads me to believe there will not be 2 versions available at launch. Kind of sucks because I would have loved to pick up the 32gb version even though I would probably never use all of that storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnchad14:
Genrally all their 4g devices that have shipped at 299 have had 32 gb storage. They'd be silly to downgrade that...I figure its part of how they try to justify the extra cash. Wo hopefully they are offering just the 32 if its to be one model...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
maybe the 32 will be online only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
The phone will be 299 at Verizon for sure ..... due to the iPhone4S priced at 299 for the 32gb model they better sell the 32gb Nexus for 299 as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] borgey:
Well, the 4s is not 4g so that might have an affect on it. I agree that they would be stupid to just offer the 16gb model but I won't put anything past Verizon. They tend to screw us over any way possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
:rolleyes:

Verizon sells multiple versions of the iPhone and iPad, there's no legitimate reason to think they won't sell both.

XDA has so many people talking out of their asses these days that this place is starting to get hard to bear. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slowz3r:
it be nice to know an off contract price, I know there are a lot of people who dont purchase phones on contract
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xVehemencityx:
Yeah, but Verizon always slaps on another $100 for LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Dayum I need this on Sprint dormat lte radio and all...but I doubt it. But here's hoping!
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Hey Everyone,

I've bricked a phone beyond recovery once. It sucks. What happened? I didn't check md5's and ruined everything. That phone is long gone, and history now. I've learned my lessons.

Anyway, I noticed something that might remove a risky step from phone modification. I needed to root my OTA gingerbread DZ from Bell, which required a Gold Card.

Besides backing up and restoring the sd card contents, it's a pretty painless process to make a Gold Card for your phone.

After downgrading with the Gold Card, I asked myself "hey, I just flashed a PC10IMG.zip that wouldn't have passed the security checks...why can't I flash back my Bell radio via PC10IMG.zip now too, even though I have the stock hboot?"

The answer, I did. It worked :)

Summary: If you have a Gold Card, you should be able to flash any PC10IMG.zip that isn't corrupted, even on stock hboot.

Anyway, I know flashing a radio is also risky, but hey, if you don't need to flash eng hboot, you have seriously avoided doing probably the most dangerous modification to your phone.

Funny thing is that I've never heard of this and my searches brought up nothing. Maybe I'm just bad at searching.

Any thoughts on this that I may not be addressing?

Cheers!

NOTE: proceed with caution! I am not responsible for the bricking of your phone. Please let this discussion unfold a bit before assuming everything is safe!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
After running gfree, it gives you Super-cid, which means you don't have to use a goldcard.

You can flash radio's on ship hboot as well, by using PC10IMG, and flashing it through hboot.

Goldcards are only neccessary when downgrading roms when trying to root.

Also, having an eng hboot is recommended, because you have a lot more control over the phone than normal, if you were to really break anything, but could still get to hboot, then the phone will be recoverable.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Aah, thank you. I thought it was required to have the eng hboot to flash radios. I knew there must be a reason why this isn't a big deal lol.

Sent from my Nexus 6 through tears in rain.
[HTC Sensation] hippyben123:
Not sure if this has been posted already but someone has developed a version of Siri for android! its called Iris ;)

Still an Alpha version so by no means perfect but it does look to have great potential.

[HTC Sensation] ajonesma:
I am downloading it now.
[HTC Sensation] homais:
This is why android is better than iOS...we can have all of their features but they can't have all of ours.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Speaktoit Virtual assistant has been around a bit longer and seems to work a bit better IMO.
[HTC Sensation] daewond3r:
isis definitely has a polished look to it, but it's not that smart, YET.

Out of 5 questions, it only got 1 right, "Who is Lady Gaga?" HA!

"When did Hawaii become a part of the United States?" "Just now." :/

"What is 37 * 5?" "A number." :X

I'll keep it on my phone to see how it progresses, but I won't be using it much right now.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
what we're your other2 questions? Voice actions got those 3 right.
[HTC Sensation] daewond3r:
"When we the Galaxy Nexus be released?" "When the fat lady sings!"

The other was asking for the address of someone in my Contacts. But no matter how I enunciated it kept changing his last name to "Agassi tech".

Also, how is "just now" an acceptable answer for "When did Hawaii become a part of the United States?"

Oh and as much as I hate to promote it, Siri can do math, so while it is correct, "a number" isn't really a sufficient answer.
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
None of them even come close to Siri unfortunately....need ore time for some of these newer apps to be developed further.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Iris has some potential to it, I asked it some questions and it seems like it has some "intelligence" in it. It knows basic things like its name and who made it, but difficult questions don't really get answers that are precise.

ex. Do you have fun? "Yes..Although..It's quiet"

I am on fire. "You will need to contact..."

What am I? "A robot"

Another? "Another WHAT?"

With more effort this can become really good, my questions sometimes got odd answers and others were sarcastic in tone.
[HTC Sensation] MAD_Matt:
set iris as default?

Anyone know how to set IRIS as default voice search?

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

I also asked "When did Hawaii become a state" and it told me August 21st 1959.

Then I asked "What is 37 multiplied by 5" and it told me 185.

I guess it's just in how you ask!
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
How do you guys get it to talk? I try to hit the mic button, but nothing shows up, does it use the keyboard's mic or something?

2.Voice Search(ON market or in ROM)
[HTC Sensation] sausje85:
Sorry, even for an Alpha, this is FAR away from being even close to what Siri is.

Unless the anwsers are (virtually) instant, its hardly worth being called "Android's own Siri".

Try vlingo! It's been around before siri an it's quite good!
[HTC Sensation] shammanCZ:
Even i love Android, no, its not ... iOS is next to perfect OS for the hardware its running on and will be always better then any other mobile system as long as it runs on Apple's hardware since its closed platform developed for iPhone and iPad only, unlike Android. Just saying.

i will try it

[Motorola Droid 3] ctheory83:
Title says it all - got two new D3s (one for me, one for corporate user) and have been getting very strange behavior.

1. Mine works fine. Sync is no issue, calendars, emails, everything works great. Even flashed Steel to it and it still works just fine. Pre-softbrick (thanks again to all that helped me fix it) it also worked. Basically, with or without root email has worked, only speedbump I hit with flashing steel was that I had to push/chmod 0644 bluremail.apk and that was it.

2. Completely stock D3, no root, nothing... aaaand exchange is broken. I can add an account, it finds the account settings just fine, everything looks good, but when you open the email app for it to sync, it gives you an account error and never loads anything. Tried rooting it, nothing. Tried flashing steel, nothing. I can use touchdown and that works fine, but I don't care for it. Its clunky, slow, and handles attachments very strangely.

I have read in a few places that many phones shipped like this but I can't imagine this being something i'm incapable of fixing, but I don't know exactly what is wrong and how to approach the issue. Has anyone else run into this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] VicKul:
Hi there guys, could someone kindly direct me to the link where I can downlaod the best working HTC Sense from SD card for my HTC HD2. I have tried to search but could not find. It seems that they all have heaps of issues and then have muliple fixs... Thank you in advance!
