[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Photoneutron:
Try to connect your charger many times... Sometimes the socket may give some problem...

I too had this type of problem many times. I just tried to wait. Sometimes it took the whole night on charge to bring back to cwm or the battery symbol.

Remove SIM, memory card battery. Let it drain the all the ram for 2 min. Then insert the charger at the phone end and finally the USB end to avoid shake at micro USB end.

If you expect the charge is low or 0, please try to put external charger, charge battery and insert.

I have flashed at least 15 to 20 times..... I have faced different problems. But cwm. 7.2.2.1 is the best of all...... Although 7.2.2.2 has already arrived....

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

You need to make sure you have enough charge. The phone normally starts blinking red after few minutes or more if its dead and connected to charger. Then the continuous red and so on.... Sometimes even if you insert USB it won't respond if its dead.... Please take enough care before deciding....
[Streak 5 General] Final5k:
Hi,

I'm going to send my Streak for repair and I wanted to ask what files are usually stored in the internal sd? Are there any personal/sensistive datas, photos, thumbnails...or anything related to the owner's privacy/security datas in there?

Thanks!
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
The innerSD contains the /data and /cache partitions, whatever's on there is whatever's on there.

If you're paranoid make a nandroid dump and fac reset it then restore it afterwards.
[Streak 5 General] Chirunavvutho:
Sending back to Dell means he needs to flash stock recovery and stock rom (if on custom) as well.

- flash streakmod if not already flashed.

- do full nandroid.

- flash stock recovery of your ROM.

- do factory reset from Dell recovery menu.
[Epic 4G General] Breezy357:
I might be late on this topic, but today I used 4G for the first time. I talked on the phone and surfed the internet at the same time! I was very surprised, so surprised I ram Pandora radio, talked on the phone, and downloaded apps from the market while on my blue tooth.

Now i'm very pumped up about 4G Android! Who cares about an iPhone now!

Sorry about this Drocap screenshot, I've been using CM7 screen capture, before I was forced to use Drocap.
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Androids been 4g for a long time. Unfortunately sprints network connects to it as it pleases. I've given up on 4g until they upgrade their services, which you won't see me holding my breath over.
[Epic 4G General] unoriginal:
We can't even get 4G wimax where we live. That's why I cautiously hopeful that when Sprint finally rolls out LTE we may actually get something faster than 3G around here.
[Epic 4G General] glock20c:
I'm one of the Lucky ones..I live In a area with very good 4g service ...

So I know how you feel Breezy...

i get mediocre 4g at best. But i dont care cause i very rarely use it. Most of the time i'm on wifi
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
cant' live without 4g anymore in NY.. esp with crappy sprint 3g speeds. between tethering, checking email on a phone call or just loading pages faster, its so much better. obviously battery life suffers but for what i'm doing i have the phone plugged in alot so its ok
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
i thought 4g was just a myth
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
I don't get this... hasn't there been 4g for a while..???

I've always been using 4g

And there's a thread somewhere on here that makes ur 4g a lot better and connects to weaker signals but its still very quick
[Epic 4G General] glock20c:
If live in or next to a major city more than likely you'll have 4g
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Yup, I'm outside Chicago and get pretty good 4G service at my office. Home, not so much as it's not even there, but that's what WiFi is for. I consistently get 1.5Mb up, but you can tell that's what it's limited at. I have surpassed the 10Mb down limit a few times, but it's usually between 8.5-9.5.

If I'm forced to use Sprint's 3G speeds to do anything, I want to rip my hair out. Sometimes I think it's all the messing around with my phone I've done, but man...the 3G speeds are horrendously slow.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:

[Epic 4G General] Breezy357:
I know 4G been out got the longest, but many of us don't get to use it. As much as they advertise 4G, I never knew what 4G was actually capable of. I'm sure if I didn't know the full capabilities of 4G, there is many others who don't know it either. At &T advertises talk and surf the internet at the same time, when I asked sprint about 4G, the only answer I get is that its faster.

And lol xopher.hunter, I also thought 4G was a $10 a month myth.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
I can't love something I don't have, sorry OP.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
If you don't have it at home and don't have Wifi, don't try it when you are somewhere that has it because you wont want to use your phone ever again on 3g. I really hope the slow expansion of 4g is because they are going to roll out LTE. I got my OG Epic on launch day, activated it, turned on 4g and have had it ever since. I have literally only used 3g four times and one of those was to run Speedtest. Maybe it would be more fair if those that have never had 4g got LTE first but that's not likely.
[Epic 4G General] Specialksg1:
No, he said a MAJOR city lol It's ok, I have little-big city syndrome here in Portland, OR too ... although I do get some spotty 4G service around town ... of course even that cuts off about a mile from my house. So close, and yet ...

I'm in downtown Phoenix, paying $10 for "Premium Data" of 0.23 Mbps :-( Hardly premium IMO. Going to test voip calling and just flash to Boost to save money next month (assuming voice quality is ok). Not sure of any advantages of staying with Sprint...
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Actually that's sprints plan. In 2012 there will be only a small amount of overlap between wimax and lte cities.

I hope Tulsa is first on the list. I can't wait to have my cake and eat it too with a sprint lte nexus.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Oh well I live in philly and in most parts its amazing lol
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Damn, well it only seems fair. Then maybe I will finally have something to complain about! I never get to rant about how terrible things are..wtf?! :p
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
By the end of 2013 the whole footprint will be covered and it will be lte advanced by then. So still, you really have little to complain about.
[Epic 4G General] kazarp:
I got to use 4G in Chicago over the weekend, and now 3G is painful. I didn't realize what I was missing! WiFi at home will have to suffice until Sprint rolls 4G out here...

Twin cities, mn.. 4g works well.. if your outside..
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
4G is very very erratic in Manhattan. Some parts it's extremely fast and doesn't drop out very much at all. Other areas, especially as you start to work your way north toward the more "ethnic" areas, 4G becomes progressively less reliable - make of that what you will. On the Upper West Side/Morningside Heights area where I live, you basically can't use 3G at all because it's so poor and 4G is extremely inconsistent. Just to give you an idea how bad 3G is up here: walking along Broadway, I can't even stream audio via Spotify because it'll just cut out every couple of seconds. 4G is much faster - although considerably slower than in other parts of Manhattan - but it refuses to stay connected from one block to the next.

Sprint's data is just abysmal up here and we basically are throwing money away.
[Epic 4G General] wj0t:
This is a smart phone so lets compare it to an iphone. No. if I wanted an iphone I would get one, so I never "cared" about iphones. And I'm pretty sure all of the gsm smart androids can talk and surf.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
As far as I know wimax 4g deployment has stopped. So if you don't have it on your wimax device now don't expect it. You will have to get a sprint 4g lte device.

This sucks when I got my phone in feb sprint told me that we were gonna get 4G in the RGV had I known about this I would have gone w/ Tmobile they r the only ones that has 4G in my area I love my phone but this is crap.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
They should have done this deal at least a year ago. Bad management.

Ideally, I want someone with lots of cash to buy both Sprint and Clearwire and make the capital investments to rapidly deploy LTE.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
This is going to happen. I have an inside source who confirmed that Centurylink is going to buy Sprint but the terms are still being negotiated so it may be a while before it hits the public spotlight.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=2121
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
CenturyLink already has a partnership with Verizon, no? Seems odd to me they would ditch, and then go straight up against someone they're partners with, especially being Big Red.

I'm all in favor of someone buying Sprint and rapidly deploying LTE (even though I get good Wimax here around Chicago), but I hope it's someone more like Google. They already know everything about us, might as well run our cell phones too.

They're deploying gigabit internet in Kansas City (I think it's KC), so they might as well buy Sprint outright and deploy LTE at the same time :)
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
This would be a nice.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Heck yeah it would, I'm really hoping it will happen, but I've heard zero real rumblings about it so I'm not holding my breath.

I think switching partners from Dish to DirecTV is a bit different than going from partnership to owner of another direct competitor.

Although if they're going to do a solid, I'm all for it. I'm all for anything or anyone giving Sprint better speeds and coverage, specifically speeds. I feel for anyone without 4G because their 3G speeds are embarrassing.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I like this part.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Intriguing. This makes it sound like Sprint will continue to roll-out Wimax, which I didn't think they were going to do. Wimax will be around through 2015, and Sprint will continue to sell Wimax devices through 2012.

I like the sounds of the '...and provide Sprint with unlimited access to Clearwire’s WiMAX network to meet its growing 4G data demands.' I'm expecting this means Sprint's 4G coverage will get substantially better in 2012 and beyond until they deploy LTE.
[Epic 4G General] Breezy357:
Not trying to be rude, but what us the point your trying to make here?
[Epic 4G General] Looneyrat:
Lol. I get 4g pretty good. Average 5-6 mbps. No drops all around my area. But when it drops to 3g, all hell breaks loose! I can't bare the snail!
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I've never agreed with you more than right now. If you experience even mediocre 4G speeds, going to 3G will make you want to run head-first into a wall. Seriously.

I almost wonder if they'd give iPhone its own frequency to cut down on the crazy traffic.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I can guarantee you that every dollar is going towards LTE. Only money that will be spent on wimax is to keep what they have going.

He's not trollling...its the truth lol I get better ping roaming on verizon than I do 3g. I HATE downloading **** with 3g. It takes forever.

But its pretty obvious that its network congestion, because I live in nyc and my 3g is horrible (well..tolerable..but wayyyy below its hayday with the hero) but when I was in westsidebubblesfuck, FL in november I didn't have 4g, but i had all my bars of 3g and was constantly hitting 1.2mbps... with a ping of 70-100...
[Epic 4G General] NiteTrekker:
I have Sprint and never use 4G. When I'm home, I use WiFi. When I'm away, the 4G either disconnects frequently or kills the battery quickly.

I have an Epic and the beautiful screen is what sold me. 4G would be nice but I would have to get one of those brick sized extended batteries in order to make it through a day.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Nah man...I roll with 4g on all day...they fixed the battery drain thing back with like dg27 LOL but srsly I do have it on all day and I easily make it through... with screen on of 2-3 hours minimum...but that's prolly cuz I'm in a blanket of 4g...I can see it being extremely detrimental to battery if it can't find signal though..
[Epic 4G General] NiteTrekker:
Sounds like I need to give 4G another try, especially since I'm using the Legendary Rom now which greatly improved battery life for me. :)
[Epic 4G General] Breezy357:
My 4G became great, when I came from CM7 to legendary ROM. I definitely suggest you try it now and let us know of it works better.

We all can give recommendations for rom/ kernel/ radio. I still thing trailing yourself is a good method. There are always factors that vary from person to person device to device. Coverage area, network type all matter too.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
So if you're real into niche rpgs, you might've heard of Generation of Chaos. A real hit in Japan because its does a superb job of mixing war, simulation and strategy RPG in a way we haven't seen since Dragon Force (not the hella repetitive band, the awesome Sega Saturn game)...and if you're really into niche RPGs, you likely also heard this getting slammed on PSP... not because it was a bad game, but because PSP had trouble handling it properly... leading to loads of performance/loading issues.

Anyway, the same team that brought Spectral Souls from unplayable on PSP to perfection on Android have done it again! Generation of chaos is now on Android! If it's anything like Spectral Souls, I would lent be surprised to find that every issue of the PSP version is now gone.

This is definitely a cut above most - it's a game that's easily ready to compete on a console level, so its no surprise that this game is pricey... near fifteen dollars! ... sweet Jesus.

GENERATION OF CHAOS on the Android Market

Very worth it though IMO.

...and its Xperia PLAY optimized, of course :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] antispiral:

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] musashiken:
I bought the Japanese version. The difference with Spectral Souls is that most if not all dialogue is voiced in GOC4, especially in cutscenes. The English version probably has English voice acting, so I suppose that's contributing to the huge game data.

Its only a matter of time before all of the "A" level titles are. We are lucky right now getting all these freebies (like the EA Games) through Sony trying to push this device out to the market. It won't last forever...

I would bet in a couple years both iOS and Android market are going to see more A level games, in the $10 plus range.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
It's not a problem as long as we get value out of them. Quality stories, good voice acting and intricate gameplay need to be paid for.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] CrimsonKnight13:
I just bought Spectral Souls recently... I definitely don't have the cash or time for this with a megaton of PC & Android games to play...

Maybe later on, I'll have to buy this, too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:
Which one is with the prime?

The spec lists stereo, but I saw one speaker.

Or is it stereo only with the dock?

That's sucks....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nook-color:
As far as I can gather, it's one speaker, but it sounds as good or better than any other tablet out there, with good sound volume. It fires out of the back on one side of the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gogol:
If you read here, the official spec:

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#specifications

It says stereo speakers ....

Misleading? Not true? Or with dock only?

One speaker is not stereo, nor mentioned as "speakers" ...

Why the heck you need speaker(s) for? you gonna listen pr0n on speakers or on your headset :D ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Woodend:
Why couldn´t they just leave it the way it is with the TF101? Stereo speakers beneath one grill :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Maybe we have only one grill but 2 speakers, one on each side.

Think about inital iPhone(s). They had no grills at all.

I don't think they would put "stereo" on their page if we have only one speaker...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diversion:
?? Original iPhones DID have a speaker grill.. very bottom left or right.. otherside was for microphone. The speaker quality was just horrible and quiet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
It is monaural, as confirmed by Engadget's review, and they also criticized the poor speaker placement. Nor did they rave about the sound quality or volume -- they described it as only "quite good", when not blocked by your hand due to the location of the speaker grille.

Sorry folks, but to me the sound seems to have been downgraded to achieve the slimmer chassis. There's still a possibility it is louder, but that's about it.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/01/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-review/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
The dock is supposed to have it's own set of speakers though, correct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
The dock is rumored to have a subwoofer, although I've yet to see a post-launch review make that claim. It does NOT have stereo speakers, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bd85:
From AndroidCentral

"The Prime touts having stereo speakers. But unlike in the Transformer and most other Android tablets we've used, they're only coming out of one section of the device. That means when you're holding the tablet in the normal landscape position, everything sounds like it's coming out the right-hand side of the device, because it is. It's a pretty disappointing change -- especially if you've used tablets with proper speakers."

Really disappointed with this, how could Asus not see/hear that it sucks to hear where the sound come from and that they also pointed the sound away from the user.

Xooms have speaker that point away from the user and that sucks if you compare to Galaxy tab that have the speakers on the sides.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Woodend:
It is simply stupid from Asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] timduru:
Base on Asus website :

http://eee.asus.com/en/eeepad/transformer-prime/specification/

So it looks like it is "stereo", but packed into one speaker / location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
More likely, that's just poor translation. I doubt it's stereo speakers placed in one location -- it's vastly more likely that it is simply a single monaural speaker. We'll know oonce the first teardown is out.

The news continues to get worse: from the AndroidCentral comments:

"The speaker on the tablet itself is in a stupid place and it isn't especially loud (I could just barely hear it over the sound of my exercise bike, for example), and I haven't tried listening to music with or without the dock yet. It's on the list for today."

So all things considered, it apears that Transformer Prime sound is a major downgrade from the TF101. Not much louder, a worse speaker location, and mono instead of stereo. Hope you're happy now, all you people who whined about the size and weight of the TF101...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
It doesn't matter what the specs says. The whole point of stereo output is to get channel separation, which isn't possible if both speakers are in same location.

For all practical purposes, audio is mono.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knoxploration:
Here's another even more damning quote from AndroidCentral's review:

"it's a shame that the first Tegra 3 device to hit the market is lacking in basic audio quality. In other words: Use headphones or external speakers."

SonicMaster indeed. What. A. Joke.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
To be fair, speaker output on tablets is a joke to start with. Fidelity is bad enough that stereo makes little difference. For decent stereo sound, use headphones or plug it into a TV.

BTW, someone mentioned the possibility of 7.1 audio through HDMI. I doubt it. Most movie rips use only the 5.1 core of the various HD audio flavors (DD EAC3, DD TrueHD, DTS-HR, DTS-MA). Playback support is sporadic even on PCs.

The mainstay for Android media players for now is ffmpeg. Per my last go-around, ffmpeg only supports EAC3, which is a fast-fading format. It doesn't support 7.1 FLAC (or 7.1 anything), which is what rippers use when they want to get HD audio.

Then, there's the HDMI-out. I'd be surprised if it even supports 5.1. Main bottleneck is the primitive state of Android media players, if not the hardware itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
while its hard to say right now how it stacks up against other tablets/previous transformer its still disappointing they have the one speaker at such a bad location. The new redesigned galaxy tab 10.1n has two speakers front facing which would be ideal.
