[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
The reason for the charge is very simple. In order to unlock our version of the Play (R800x), it takes a hardware dongle and the purchase of credits to allow the software to work. All you are paying Al or whoever for is the cost of the number of credits necessary to unlock your phone. They aren't getting rich off anyone.

If there was another way to unlock the Verizon version, someone would have posted it by now. There isn't, and that's just how it is.

There is a good spirit of free info sharing on this site. You might have to do a little digging but it's there. For example, how to unroot the R800x without having an unlocked bootloader. Takes about a whole 5 minutes to do.

EDIT: I do have to say that after digging around a bit more, I don't blame you for being perturbed. While no one owes us Verizon Play owners anything, there could have been something posted and sticky to make it a bit easier to find out what is going on. And perhaps have had a bit less condescension toward us as well. Must be that UK mentality toward us Colonists! ;)

Re: Droid X vs XPlay development -

Different phones from different brands on different carriers require entirely new learning to develop for, not to mention owning a device to work on. I'd say there's probably only about a dozen people worldwide putting in serious work on this phone.

That's not a lot. If you want more options, you may have to do it yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kaldrick:
I just followed a video on installing the stable release of CM7. I've successfully completed it and Im running CM7.

I have no apps. I cant sync to google to get my contacts back.

I didn't see where it said to make a backup. So i have no backup of anything. My phone is basiclly just a blank shell to work on. Phone and stuff works. But i can't access the market or anything.

What can I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kaldrick:
I found a unroot stock rom. And used that to restore my phone. This time i will make the correct backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
You forgot the step in CM7 installation where you install gapps from the sounds of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Read step 9 on the install page and everything else on the page again

Here is the files you'll need.

Hi all,

The samsung email app notifications do not appear to be getting picked up by any other launchers apart from TW. Has anyone had the same findings and what are people using for mail? I do miss the standard android email client especially as all launchers could happily pick up on the notifications. Are samsung doing anything different? I really don't want to go back to TW as there is no landscape mode and this beasty thrives in landscape mode, but it's the only launcher I've had that manages to capture all notifications properly.

Thoughts and experiences gratefully received :)

I'm looking to buy a new phone this week and I'm really interested in the mytouch 4g slide I've always liked mytouches but I also like the g2x because of its gaming capabilities

I would also like to know which the best for customization

ie.variety of Roms.....Thanks

Get the MT4GS. It's amazing. Throw CM7 or Blue6IX's Bulletproof ROM and your phone will blow the G2x out of the water.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcp2009:
Hey just wondering if there were many previous iPad users on here. I have an iPad 1 64GB and may trade it for the Xoom but I'm still not sure if I should. The main thing I use my iPad for is games, browsing web, and reading books/comics. I know the last 2 would be fine on the Xoom but the main thing I'm worried about is games. I have about 30GB worth of games (serious) and most of them are Gameloft games and I Peggle, PvZ, etc. I was just wondering if you found a lot of games you liked on the xoom. Also my main concern overall is that I already have an android phone and when I owned my Viewsonic Gtab it felt like having a bigger android phone and I ended up getting an iOS tablet because it was a different OS. How do you guys feel about Honeycomb and do you mind having an android phone also? After seeing ICS it feels like the tablets are just gonna be huge phones with ICS. Same can be said about the iPhone and iPadm, they are the same on but I chose the iPad because my phone was android. Just want some quick opinions if possible.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I own several Android tablets, including a Xoom, as well as an iPad II and an iPod Touch. In the three areas you mentioned, I would say I prefer web browsing on my Xoom. It is a bit quicker and the experience is more like the desktop. Whether that will change once Flash disappears completely, I don't know...but I really dislike web browsing on the iPad with Safari. I have also used other web browsers on the iPad and was really not impressed with any of them. Also, the widescrean form factor of the Xoom works better for browsing, in my opinion.

With reading, I would say the experience is a little better on the iPad. PDFs open much quicker with fewer page loads using Good Reader as opposed to ezPDF and the squarer form of the iPad displays magazine pages better. For ePub files, iBooks is just the best looking eReading app out there. I love the options available in Moon+ on Android and use it a lot, but it is not as effortless and comfortable as iBooks is. The iPad being lighter also makes reading a little easier for long periods of time

Games I would say is a split decision. I don't tend to play the heavy, graphics intensive games that could benefit from the iPad so I have been very happy with Honeycomb for gaming. The rub is in the number of titles. The sheer breadth of games you can get on iOS as opposed to Android is a factor, but in terms of sheer gameplay I would say they are basically equal for most users.

Ultimately the iPad and the Xoom are both great devices. In day to day use I probably tend to carry the iPad more for leisure, the Xoom more for work but if you can, keep both and use either depending on the moment.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crazy cat:
Hi all,

just a short question: Had you ever have a problem with your touchscreen? I flashed the new HC build on my Flyer and now the screen don´t work anymore. I can´t unlock the device or even use it. Now it´s a dig. pricture framefor the HTC lockscreen :D

Any ideas how i can solve it?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triscuit1983:
If your s-off, try flashing a custom HC ROM and see if the problem persists. If it's still a problem and your able to get in and out of recovery and bootloader, you may want to try to get back on GB and see if it's still happening. If all else fails, return it to stock s-on and get that ish sent in for repairs.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crazy cat:
Tried some of the custom roms but they don´t work. If i do a downgrade to GB the problem still exist. And i can´t sent it to repair cause i have a pre-release version without microSD Card Slot. No support for my baby...

Anyways, thx for your help.

if you are going to strip it out,take some pics,would be nice to know how it comes to peices..;)

Maybe the difference between the retail version kills your device

[Thinkpad Tablet General] gurila:
2nd hands 16GB w/3G (most common) are going for an average of 350-450 (mint) incl shipping

if the seller has a paypal account that usually raises the selling price by about 50 euro. extra sleeves and SD cards also push the the price higher by 20-30 euro

(samples collected over 8 weeks, 29 sales tracked)

prices in the US seem lower

any one got an idea of that's a good resale value in europe?

considering that the cheapest you can get a 16GB w/3G and pen is 522 euro ?

I'll try to keep track of this...

I was tracking a 64gb Thinkpad on ebay and was this >< to getting it today but at the last minute I got called by my boss and didn't update the bid amount and got outbid. :( it came out to be 423 USD.

Would have been sweet. Oh well.

-----------------------------------------------

Edit: Dec 19th,

Well its official, I've joined the Thinkpad tablet family.

Although I missed out on the 64GB deal mentioned above, I kept tracking other offers and there was one on ebay for a 32GB Thinkpad with keyboard folio, dock and stylus. All for $425. Considering that if I had bought it on Lenono it would have costed me $759 I think its a steal.

It should get to me by this Friday. I can't hardly wait.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] martymart18t:
I've been using the phone for about 10 months. I'm very happy with it. I updated to 2.2.2 (not very sure about version) but couldn't rooted with anything at the time. So tried to downgrade with kdz, bam black screen, dead phone. Go back to store for exchange. I told the guy that it got screw while upgrading with official updater.

So, as I got a new phone,i rooted as soon as I got home. But haven't flash anything on it for about a month. I was reading alot on the forum, it could spare me to exchange the phone if I've have done it first.

Since I've start flashing rom, I'm enjoying the thing. I wish to upgrade but as long as good dev are working on it and bringing new things, I'll stick with it. Without you, I don't think that I've kept the O1 for more than a that. Thanks Guys!!!

That was when I found "XDA". And the talented DEVS ..

I have flashed more than 500-1000times or more infact ihve tried every rom in the Dev thread ..

I think I've one of the oldest, I got it more than one year ago (October or November 2010), few days after this one was released by LG. I got it for Free from LG, because I had a LG GW620, and they offered a new unlock phone because of all the troubles GW620 had. I just had to fill up 6 pages, and to compare the GW620 to the P500.

Mine is full of scratches (screen is really scratched), plastic lil bit broken in some parts, the battery is hold with tape, but it's working fine. The phone had some issues with water (and a lil bit of beer) several times, has fallen down of 1 meters on rocks many times ... had a lil dust issue ...

But it's still working well, just get sometimes a weird trouble (white screen with many dots on it, but touchscreen still working), but after a battery remove it's okay. Last problem I had was after an hard plane landing, the upper part of the optimus was not fitting anymore (close to the power button). But it's okay now :)

It's a really rock solid phone, believe me. I had a lot of phones, and this one is one of the best I had.

Happy with this phone, don't want to change it :D
