[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
As for the second part of your question about speaker on the phone I think it may be a little quieter but not sure, the speaker is mounted right at the bottom on the back. When I get my x10 off my mum who is borrowing it will try some kind of decible test with an app. Won't use dsp or xloud.
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
Ok these are definitely really good. My doubts are silenced :)

Lol don't worry, shaving foam as well as facial hair aren't affecting the regions that are checked:

Facial recognition elements (Face Unlock):
- left eye
- right eye
- nose base
- head
- face

[Source]

So while it isn't totally secure, it should be secure enough if someone doesn't have a frontal picture of you. In my opinion, it's not very likely that someone who steals your device can actually unlock it. To do so he

(1) first of all would need to know that this device uses face unlock and then take a frontal picture of decent quality from you before stealing the device OR

(2) need to find out who you are and use a picture from the web. But for this to happen you'd need to have activated the "owner information on lockscreen setting", which I won't recommend ;) If someone honest finds your device you have plenty of other options to get it back without your owner informations displayed on the screen.

(3) He could flash a new firmware, but it's unlikely that the thief is a nerd like we are ;)

Since I trust the guys that know me and someone who doesn't know me will at least have a hard time to unlock the device, face unlock is good enough for me.

And from another point of view it is even safer as a PIN or swipe gesture: everyone could see those across your shoulder while you enter it. But they won't be able to easily copy your face or take a photo of you without your attention. Think about it ;)

Even quieter than the X10i?! Hmm, bummer. X10's external volume is really low already, I never owned a quieter phone. I'm not a kiddie listening to music while walking around in public, but if I use my phone to navigate while driving, I at least want to hear the directions while the radio is playing in the background. :(
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
Well I'm glad you like the uncompressed pictures better, you should see how they look on the HD screen ;) I think it beats x10 camera but maybe I'm biast to NY newer phone ;)

My own nexus is very secure, I have it set to face unlock and sometimes that fails so then you have swipe pattern. I also have a sim lock on the sim card.

As for the speaker I'll test that more when I can get my hands on my x10 but am at work till late tonight so will be tomorrow I expect.

I'm having a problem with calkulins rom. every time I try to install any version higher then 1.0 the phone gets stuck at the galaxy s screen and cmw is not accessible, only download mode. I have tried to do a complete flash using his zip. andI have tried to flash it over the 1.0 version. But nothing works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
have you tried re-download the full rom and flash it from scratch. The kernel as well as your download may be corrupt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
Usually a corrupt download won't even install. Does it look like it completes normally through the install routine? Are you being patient? How long are you waiting before frustration sets in and you're long holding the buttons or pulling the battery. The first boot after a rom load can take quite a while. Be patient...let it sit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] supasickmc:
I was actually able to get it to work by installing the rom directly to the internal memory. i dont know if that would of made a difference but for some reason it worked so im not complaining :D. Thanks for the quick reply's

Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone has looked into this yet as its pretty new, but Chainfire has built an odin app that can run directly on the phone. Epic 4g is not yet supported but I've provided the info needed to get support (Post# 243). Hopefully we will get support in a near version!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

EDIT: I discovered xboxfanj has already provided the Epic info a couple days ago (was searching for sph-d700), props to you for submitting first, but it looks like he needs dump from stock RFS filesystem so hopefully my dump (on EI22 deodexed/pre-rooted stock) will satisfy the requirement. Especially because we don't have a EI22 tar yet for an easy way to get back to stock.

[Epic 4G Apps] Dante of the Inferno:
A quick look at Chainfire's thread shows that version 1.2 has support for the Epic TOUCH, not the original. I'll try to get a hold of him to see if the Touch at least has enough similarities that the original Epic can also be supported.

I have an unlocked AT&T Moto Atrix 4G, that I previously had The DarkSide v1.5 installed. Mobile Wifi Tethering worked fine (as it didn't with the stock ROM, and required a damn tethering subscription to use the feature). So, last night, I followed the instructions and wiped and flashed to the latest The DarkSide ROM v3.1. Tethering now requires a subscription again :( ("Account not set up for Mobile Hotspot, goto att.com/mywireless... yada yada...).

How do I get it back?

Have you tried turning it off, pulling battery, plugging it in, reinstalling battery and booting. See Thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943626&highlight=battery+calibration ) I have had that problem but at lower percentages. If it keeps going higher then repeat and it will start at 50+, then 60+ and so on. D/L battery calibration from market and keep watch, when voltage hits 4.200+, then use the battery calibration button or reset batt stats in recovery. If you just follow the thread and keep doing it over and over you can wind up reaching full voltage prior to the phone showing full charge and have it show 100% at 4.17 or 4.18 volts. Hope this helps.

Yes IMO Pentile is extremely overblown, on the RAZR anyway.

Over saturated colors are overblown. Seeing the 2 screen technologies side by side, I might actually prefer Amoled now, and I used to love LCD's last year.

All the screens have pros n cons. Anyone who complains about the RAZR screen and claim the screen on whatever phone they or want have is perfect or better...is biased. It may be better to them, but its not better overall. None are.

The perfect screen has yet to be invented.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] filthyfnj24:
Great real world review! I've been reading reviews like a mad man but since you said you have had an N8 and an Atrix...and as I'm currently using an Atrix now and had an N8 before that it only seems logical you would be best the best person to ask a few few questions lol. You touched on my main concerns a little but I'm still hesitant for two reasons. 1.Build quality and 2.Battery life. The N8 to atrix jump left me loathing plastic phones and wishing someone out there was smart enough to shoehorn android onto an N8! My bigger concern is battery. 1930 mah + CM7 + faux's enhanced stock kernel = 30 plus hours of light to moderate use. Now I'm not expecting that but comparatively...What can I expect with say 200 or so texts sent and received, a few 5-10 minute calls, about an hour and a half of music and 15-20 minutes web browsing? I will be using the phone on AT&T so no LTE for me. As long as I can go AT LEAST 12 hours with that kind of usage on a stock rom Expansys has my $624.99. I'm not sure but I believe the unlocked model ships with an unlocked bootloader (correct me if I'm wrong) so it's only a matter of time before the roms start pouring down from the devs and this phone gets even better. Thanks again for posting your review. Any and all feedback is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] retepdgp:
Battery should give you nice results, especially if you set up "Smart Actions." I usually turn off mobile data (3G/4G) when I'm not using it, because you can still send/receive texts, as well as calls. This makes your battery last a lot longer, so just put a widget somewhere so it's an easy toggle. It's almost a 1,800mAH battery, which is way better than what you'd get on a Rezound (1,600mAH). Build quality is great, so don't be fooled by it's thin profile and think it's a cheap phone. They also sealed the battery for a reason... there are a lot of people complaining about this, but they sealed it to protect against water splashes, as well as the internals. Overall it's a great phone, just sucks that when I received mine it didn't come with the micro SIM card, so now I need to go back to Verizon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sheek360:
Don't worry about the build quality. Although its a bit on the light side she feels premium as hell and well balanced.

If the GSM version is identical to the let version I can imagine that your battery life will be better then mine. Hspa battery life is typically better then lte battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jl1030:
how's the battery life? considering is a non-removable battery

Great job, I am a very happy Thunderbolt owner, S-Off, rooted and running a custom rom of course. Your break down was very good but you left out the most complained about thing on the forums, battery time. I am seriously thinking about picking up this phone but the locked down battery is my only concern. How has it been throughout the day? I am not very happy with the new Nexus hardware, no sd card and coming with only 16 mb of interior memory just isn't going to cut it for me. I think the new Razr with ICS on it would be one hell of a phone.

Thanks,

Go Patriots.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sheek360:
I consider myself a very heavy user. My day consists of 20 - 30 minutes wasted on calls. Maybe 15 minutes worth of xxx browsing (lol). Refreshing Google reader every 3 hours and reading my feeds like a fiend. I fb n tweet like crazy. I video chat about 5 minutes a day too. I send maybe 10 mms n a trillion texts. I also IM too much. And I occasionally take the opportunity to Google something.

Oh I have a smurf ville and angry birds obsession.

My wifi is on at all times. But my 4g is off. I remove the phone from the charger at 6am. By lunch I'm already sitting on 80%. My battery hits about 30% or 40% by 8pm.

Because of the screen the battery dips quickly. I refuse to set brightness to 0% dammit!

When I leave the house I turn off wifi n turn on 4g. The phone sips battery very lightly no matter if your on wifi on 4g, it idles very generously.

But once u stomp on it, u can burn 10% battery on 4g in a matter of 30 - 45 minutes.

PS I YouTube a lot too. Maybe 20 minutes a day.
[General Questions and Answers] ganjah:
So, I have a real problem. I've been with Sprint for 10 years as of this August. I have perfect payment history and a credit rating above 780. I currently own the HTC Hero, which has been a good little phone, but I want to upgrade. I have the $150 credit to get a new phone, but that's where the issues begin to crop up.

My current contract expires Feb. 19, 2012. Because of successful negotiations in the past with Sprint's Executive Services, I pay $36 and change after taxes and fees for the following:

Plan details

Everything Data 450 $69.99

450 Anytime Minutes Included

Nationwide Long Distance Included

America - Roaming Included

Unlimited Any Mobile, Anytime

Unlimited SMS Text Messaging

Unlimited Picture Mail

Unlimited Data Usage

GPS Navigation

Sprint Data Essentials Pack

Nights: M-TH 7pm-7am Wknd: F 7pm-M 7am

$0.00

Cellular Call Detail

$0.00

Unlimited Nights&Weekends-7pm

$0.00

Premium Data $0 add-on charge

$0.00

300 bonus Anytime Minutes per month

$0.00

Unlimited Any Mobile, Anytime

$0.00

Data Usage

$0.00

Picture Mail

$0.00

I don't use a whole lot of minutes (mostly mobile-to-mobile), don't use a whole lot of data (never more than 2GB/mo), and my max texts are typically around 3500/mo.

I want to upgrade my phone, and I'm considering the SGS2. I have been in contact with Executive Services recently, and the lowdown is that if I want to get a new phone, I will have to pay $200 for the phone. Then, since I was grandfathered in, I'll have to pay the premium data fee of $10/mo. But, I will also have to renew my contract and I will lose the extra $20/mo service credit that is currently offsetting the price of my service. I will retain my corporate discount of 27%, but, all told, after taxes and fees, simply upgrading my phone for $200 will actually increase the price of my service to about $65-70/mo after taxes and fees. This is nearly doubling the price of my service, and without a free phone to boot.

This is nearly the price of similar competing Verizon and AT&T service plans (after my corp discounts there), but Sprint doesn't offer 4G in my area (Albuquerque, NM), and their 3G service is spotty, at best.

Why should I stay with Sprint? Are there better options?
[General Questions and Answers] captain.dogendo:
If your bill is going to go up anyway you might want to consider going with a carrier that offers GSM phones (t-mobile, AT&T). That way if you manage to wangle the price of your contract down over the years and face a similar situation as you're in now you can just go out and buy any GSM phone, unlock it (if necessary), stick your current SIM card in and voila, you have a new phone, but you get to keep your existing (cheap) contract.

I joined t-mobile about 2 months ago on a monthly rolling contract, I wanted to change my phone so I just bought a Samsung Exhibit 2 outright from Amazon and stuck my current SIM card in. No hassle.
[General Questions and Answers] ganjah:
That's sage advice. Thank you!

How much of a difference from $65-70/mo am I looking at from other cellular providers for the same level of service? Just a cursory check finds $0.01 Verizon phone deals through Amazon, and similar monthly recurring charges for 450 anytime, unlimited text, and 4GB data, after corporate discounts.
