[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
1) Only unofficial headphones with a mic don't work. I get around this by using a SE Blootooth receiver with my beats headphones.

2) the R800i is probably the best and most supported model.

3) Adreno 205 beats the PowerVR GPU in the SGS hands down :rolleyes: Infact a comparison between adreno 205 and Tegra II is more applicable. Not only that with our dual channel DDR2 ram like the SGS II, gaming is even better than other Adreno 205 devices like the Desire HD.

4) If you buy a sim unlocked device you can unlock the bootloader at the sony unlock site.

5) The device is well built. And the pad is even better built. The wifi is not the greatest but the GPS is amazing and frequent software updates from sony (4 or 5 this year already) keeps the device in shape.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
1) I use my dre beats and the supplied sony headphone wit hthe phone ; only problem i've found is that the cable with control talk for dr dre comes up as not supported - this still allows me to listen to music but I cant skip tracks etc with control talk.

2)No limitations.

3)The xperia play beats the sgs due to reasons already listed.

4)If its sim unlocked when you buy it ; there wont be a locked bootloader.

5)No there are not.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daerragh:
Really big thank you for your answers. I'm pretty convinced by now to by the Play.

One more thing though:

Has anyone played some top-notch 3d games, like shadowgun or 9mm? Do they play very smooth (without any overclocking)?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Yep both play great at stock clockspeed. so do other top notch 3D games like riptide, dead space and quake 3 arena :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daerragh:
Ok, thanks. It's good to hear that :)

What about the screen? Is it glass or plastic. Does it get scratched easily?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
The screen is mineral glass, but every play comes with a factory fitted shatter proof screen protector. The screen protector is easly scratched but many people have removed it and said the mineral glass underneath is solid and quite hard to scratch :p

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Morbidx13:
you will need to upload it elsewhere and then provide a link.

Copy the contents of each folder to system folder of phone using root explorer install timescape from app folder and reboot if you have any issues feel free to ask I will try to help you out.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mmeidl78:
Only with copying this files I don't got a working launcher. When I install some of the other modded ARC-Launchers and copy your files (and install timescape - 2 of them works - 1 of them I got Install-Error) I've got FC every few seconds. Also a restart doesn't change anything.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] txr33:
Copying all the files across worked for me however when phone 1st starts i get a twitter fc and if i want to use the facebook timescape i get fc as well. Still playing around but looks good. Thanks

You are welcome
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] avidahiya:
You have to copy the files and also install app from the app subfolder
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wali01x:
hey to mod of this thread. i have to point out some of things for you as to why you guys are gettin' fc'ses all the time.i use to be an x10 owner and i can tell you alot of things to it. 1. you're missing awhole lot of plugin's from sony's phone such as timescape twitter, timescape facebook, timescape messages and w/e other are there. as far as porting is concerned it won't be possible because those plugins and timescape is sony coded software, unless you wanna take a crack at it and look into those codes .good luck it won't be fun i can tell you that. you're gonna have to rewrite the whole thing to samsung's codes + arc launcher and all or x10 same issue.. why are you gettin' f'cs well here's one open up the script of apk launcher and take a crack at fixing the screen resolution + all the shortcuts that are with it to be rewritten into samsung's phone. so there's the whole explaination to this. if i can do anythin' ill try but can't gurentee it b/c im still trying to work through alot of things in apks and all, like editing and so ive not got to scripts yet.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] avidahiya:
I was a x10i owner too before it was stolen this is the reason why I love timescape i did not think this was necessary because it worked for me without this too but if you are facing problem then —

1. change in build.prop

ro.product.manufacturer=xxx

to

ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

and add

ro.semc.timescape_keys=Sony_Ericsson_Xperia

You will find above "build. Prop" in root directory-system

Use root explorer preferably
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
This works pretty well. Can't use the Facebook or Twitter plug ins though. Also tried to install the Arc launcher (which looks better IMHO) but it wouldn't install at all.

If that doesn't work try disabling the Automatic Backup and Restore in Settings. It could be pulling down your old wallpaper from the Google Backups.

It changes only the screen transition animations. For ex: in settings when you click about phone how the new window opens. See the video provided by capez in his guide.

I am not sure about it as I created it using the framework-res.apk from CM. You can always follow capez guide and create one for the ROM you are using.

The quality isn't poor so much as the auto-exposure settings which is resulting in poor shots, this could be improved with software updates or by manually setting the exposure.

...quite new to all this. I have installed a rom on the sd disk but when I go to install zip from sd card can't see it !!

If its ok could you explain your method ....as Im a bit of a thicko !!

thanks

sr
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Depending on what version of cwm 4 or 5 you have will make a slight difference but essentially these process.

Place the Rom zip on your internal sdcard not the removable external sdcard.

Navigate to flash .zip from internal sdcard in recovery. If you are changing versions if android or. 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or flashing between different Roms, maybe best to factory reset, wipe.cache, and wipe dalvik (in advanced) from within recovery. Immediately flash ROM, and then reboot, give it a few minutes. You will lose your data etc, but will help to ensure you don't get boot loops or force closes etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve16:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Boot up. Connect USB to PC and transfer the file.... If your still not sure if your putting it in the correct "sdcard", power off and remove extrenal sdcard.

You could also connect cable to PC in recovery, then "mount USB storage",. Transfer file to USB storage, "unmount", then flash from internal sdcard (look for the USB storage within).USB storage is just a sub directory of the internal sdcard.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:

Hey all I follow up on this forum a few times a day. I hadn't posted enough to post in the dev section. So I thought I'd post here. A Quick question about octane, when i'm running my BT sometimes for no reason the phone disconnects from it and connects right back.

[Xoom General] bigv5150:
Why do some users achieve tether and others don't especially with the same tablet and phone. I had a theory and tested it and was right. For those that have managed to get as far as I did with connecting to your phone and having both Bluetooth icons but not be able to connect here is why. Your on wifi it only tethers on 3g I don't have 4 g by me so can't comment if it will work or not. I tried on wifi and the load bar would move an inch and stop then disconnected from wifi and TA DA it achieved tether. Why I have no idea but it works as a matter of fact I am posting this on my xoom connected to my bionic.
[Xoom General] litanyww:
I've been using Bluetooth Tethering extensively. It works really well, but is a little temperamental.

On my phone (HTC Magic with a Gingerbread ROM), the *first* time I connect the Xoom, tethering appears to work but doesn't. So, on first connection, I always disconnect, then reconnect, and then I'm good for the rest of the day. This is most likely a bug in my ROM's Bluetooth implementation, but might be more widespread and might be what's making you think Bluetooth tethering just doesn't work at all.

Also, occasionally, and for no apparent reason, the bluetooth stack on the Xoom will go completely non-functional. All I have to do is disable bluetooth, re-enable it, and re-tether to the phone. Only a few seconds, and I'm back in business.

While a perfect Bluetooth tethering solution would be really nice, these two issues are minor enough that I'm considering not upgrading my now ancient phone until the 3 year contract is up.
[Android Themes] agc93:
Hi all,

I have been working at this problem for a while now, with no luck. I am building my theme and I've changed the png's for the notification drawer background to black, and then changed all the relevant xml's inside framework-res and SystemUI to have white text.

The only remaining problem is that downloads (as well as media scanning operations) still use black text (which, on the black background renders it unreadable). I've tried editing DownloadProvider.apk to no avail. I even tried at one point to change the system style for StatusBar.EventContent (and .Title) but that didn't seem to have any effect either.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to how to force the text colour to change?

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Atrix 2] fredzb2003:
My Atrix 2 comes out of box with stock firmware, which means I didn't try to flash it with customized firmware. The only tweak is having my phone rooted and freezing some apps using Titanium Backup. My question is whether it is safe to proceed with official update if I am prompted to do.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
As of right now I believe if you flash any updates you will lose root, I may be wrong but there are a few that have. Just depends on how much you like having the capabilities of Root or not.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fredzb2003:
Thank you for your response. My understanding is that performing any official update will revert to unroot status. To me, this could be the second priority to think about. The biggest question at this point is if it is safe to flash the offical update after I rooted my phone and frozen some apps using Titanium Backup. I worry my Atrix 2 will be bricked if I made some changes to the origial fireware as mentioned above.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Rooting shouldn't affect anything. Before you update just make sure you unfreeze any apps toy may have frozen and you should be good to go

Hello Everyone,

As everyone know our beloved Galaxy Tab only have one port, that is used for HDMI, Charging, and USB functions.

I was wondering, is there some kind of adapter(s) that let me connect my tab to my HDMI TV, while accesing some USB memory stick and charging at the same time?

I'm looking forward for this solution because I want to connect an external hard drive to see some videos on my TV while charging the Tab.

In worst case, at least connect my tab to the TV and access the external USB hard drive.

Thanks in advanced.
