Has anyone used the photon international yet?? I am wondering if the sim needs to be unlocked to use another countries or if I can just put a sim in it and it will work. I couldn't find anything in here saying anything about it.

I use it in Colombia and Venezuela, the photon is unlocked gsm in Colombia in me works 100% with all operators and low performance in Venezuela but it works well, of course it can be for the quality of the operator in the two countries but in terms photon generally working well. excuse my English but I use a translator
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Lol that's ok thank you for the response. I knew it was locked for domestic gsm but I didn't think it was for international.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hjcg2001:
I can confirm that the gsm part is unlocked for international carriers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 0mfgroflmao:
Yep, works fine for me in New Zealand on my carriers 3G 850/2100 network.

Just make sure you get root access and disable the sprint activation if you plan on using the stock rom otherwise it will take an extra few minutes to boot up.

Has anybody found a doom port which supports xperia play controls? I'm acutally only interested in doom 2 atm since I started playing doom from then on.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I purhased this version of Doom a few months ago and it works great with the controls. You can key map out what you want. and if you read some of the reviews on the android market for it you will see people posting there feedback from an xperia play. This game runs fantastic on xplay and you can add in your pre-existing .wad doom games. I have Doom 1 & 2, TNT, Plutonia and a couple other wads. But here it is. This is easily the best version of Doom as it supports kep mapping, trust me I looked for a long time to find a decent Doom.

The same developer even has a few ports of Quake and Duke Nukem. There is also the game Wolfenstein 3D ,the precursor to Doom.

[Epic 4G General] TheSkipperCDB:
If I go into Settings->Accounts and sync-><google account>, under Sync Calendar the date shown is 9/23, and there is a sync icon next to the checkbox. If I uncheck then check the Sync Calendar checkbox, the sync icon rotates for a few seconds, but never goes away and the date never updates.

I've created and deleted items in the calendar both from the phone and website, and the calendar appears to sync ok, so this appears to just be an oddity. My biggest concern is if this is draining the battery (the sync icon in the notification bar displays from time to time for only a few seconds, like it always has. it's only the sync icon and date next to "Sync Calendar" that's a problem). Has anyone seen this issue before? Is it anything to be concerned about? Thanks!

As you can see, the sync icon is next to Sync Calendar, and has a date of September. My biggest concern is if this is draining the battery or causing an issue with syncing my calendar (it seems to sync OK, but I'm paranoid). I was wondering if there was a way to reset the calendar sync or anything. Thanks!

"Ice Cream Sandwich also features a new People App which lets users browse pictures, messages and social network updates from friends, family and co-workers."

Oh great, more crapware. Hey Samsung, ever heard of facebook....?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carlitos66:
why is everyone so excited about Ice Cream Sandwich? I went to Verizon store and played vith the Nexus for an hour. I think it's the most overhyped phone and software that came from Google yet. And no flash player yet. I will stick with Gingerbread untill the ICS is polished with no bugs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
I did the same thing and came to the same conclusion. I'm actually not impressed since the 2.2 update that brought Flash. People complain about Apple not adding very many features with each update...and while I admit it seams the omit some just to add some and google seamed to try and get them all in right away...the updates for the past year have been a bit stagnate.

That being said I'm also very happy with the Gingerbread of my Note, and once I get a handle on it a bit more and feel like a Need a custom ROM, I'll go there when I need to. I have been ignoring the latest update on my Note just because...well I don't feel like I need it. I will most certainly not update top ICE when they first release it. I'd want to wait at least till they find their bugs and release a patch.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wonsanim:
Great new and direct from samy:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
I agree 100% - almost everyone reviewing the phone mentions ICS far more than the actual hardware. That's why I went for the Note and was prepared to wait for most of the ICS bugs to be ironed out and the app writers to release ICS compatible versions rather than suffer "early adopter" syndrome.

The Note wins hands down over the Nexus with bigger battery, bigger screen, FM Radio, better GPS, better camera, MicroSD slot, MHL and OTG USB capability, Stylus AND a more stable OS. I'm really glad I chose the Note but luckily I live in a country where it is available. Many of the US based Android sites don't even mention the Galaxy Note in their "best phones" reviews and polls but were banging on and on about the Galaxy Nexus for months before it was available - just a few days ago. A number of "reviews" also maintain the Note is "too big" - I think they are just used to tiny phones and have not really tried the Note for an extended period in the real world. If they had, I am sure their views would change.

I hope Galaxy Nexus owners don't take this critique too personally but I think they have been blinded by all the hype of the "Pure Google Experience" and wanting to be "first" with ICS.

It will be very interesting to see how sales of the Galaxy Note with ICS compare against the Galaxy Nexus in the US next year. I think the Note will suddenly start receiving rave reviews and the Nexus will slip down the rankings very quickly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xAnimal5:
Quadrant aside. The mali-400 and 1.4ghz Exynos are far superior to the outdated 1.2ghz in the Nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
quadrant is junk as a benchmark for comparing phones. its only good for comparing tweaks on the same phone. if you run antutu, galaxy nexus and galaxy note are pretty much on par.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] daddymatt:
And the 1.2 isn't exynos, its omap ... yawn! Crappy processor if there ever was one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tytung2020:
Yes, but for now, what if Note gets ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Raghav1980:
IMHO, the real sweetness of Ice Cream Sandwich isn't the features that you directly see in front of you, like Face Unlock, Folders, New Launcher, People, Calendar, etc. All that stuff is just the extras. The real strengthens of ICS lie in the back-end. For the first time, Android brings GPU Acceleration to phones (For content drawn within a window). What this means is that every time you swipe through your home screen in GingerBread, all the effects are being rendered by software that's being executed by a single core of the CPU. Its the same thing every time you scroll through a list, eg Settings.

In order to get a smoother scrolling, all it boils down to is Resolution (Pixels on Screen) Vs CPU Speed (GHz). We can see this when we compare the GS2 with the Note. The screen resolution on the GS2 is 800X480 = 384,000 Pixels. These pixels were being rendered by a 1.2 GHz processor, which is easily capable of doing this at a high frame rate. That's why everything on the GS2 worked so smoothly & it became a benchmark among android phones.

Now, take the Note. Its got an even more powerful CPU clocking in at 1.4GHz. But it still feels slower than the GS2. The reason? The screen resolution is 1280X800 = 1,024,000 Pixels. This is 2.7x more than the GS2. But the CPU is just 17% more powerful. This is why the note feels choppier than the smoother GS2.

I first noticed this in my Xperia X10Mini. My little phone never felt choppy. When my colleague bought the X8 which essentially had the same hardware as my Mini, it clearly felt much more choppier. The only difference between the phones was that the X8 was running at a higher resolution.

So, the question really is: What's the point of having a Mali400 GPU, if it just sits there & watches the CPU struggle at doing basic things like scrolling through a list or swiping through the homescreens.

The biggest pain point of all Android Phones was that Android always felt choppy while the competition was always smooth. So, this is what Google tries to fix with Ice Cream Sandwich. They have also done a lot of other optimizations that makes ICS that much better.

Correct me if I am wrong, but as of today, there is no other android device on the market that is running at 720p or higher resolution & is not using either HoneyComb or ICS. Both these bring GPU Acceleration which is very important at these resolutions.

Believe me, The Note stands to benifit the most from a ICS update.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravindra9:
+1 to this.

The UI and the cosmetics are of course relevant, however it is the CORE that matters!! Indeed the REAL BENEFIT of 1.4ghz dual core shall be witnessed post ICS. GNote users can proudly boast of having smoooothest device post this update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] duowing:
I got caught up in the hype and bought a GSM Galaxy Nexus. I think that it's a great phone, and ICS has some nice features, but ICS is way overrated. I picked up a Note because of some reviews I read. Also seeing that it had a stylus amongst other things. I have to say I play with and use the Note as my phone more often than I use the Nexus. Although the nexus fits a little more nicely into my pocket and is a bit more comfortable to take with me, but in general the battery life, screen size, hardware, better gps, etc make the Note the best phone I've ever had. I do agree that once ICS comes along for the note hopefully it will improve speeds and some of the features meshed with touchwiz should be really nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yamaha83:
just wondering why some things work for one and not the other? is it the radio? or are there other differences how hard is it to make something work for both?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
CDMA = Verizon US

GSM = Everyone else

Pretty much sums it up. Different network, different hardware, different SIM card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yamaha83:
ya i get that. but what makes them different to the point that some things wont work on one and will work on the other? are we going to see more dev love for the GSM version? or is it pretty easy to make something work for both?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UndergroundWire:
The CDMA version has two radios. You have a 3G CDMA Radio and a 4G GSM LTE Radio. For the most part what one gets the other will have a version made for it. There is just minor alterations that need to be made so the 4G and 3G Radios work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
Should be pretty equal dev, but if I had to bet on something happening for only one of the devices I'd go with GSM getting it. It's the world versus some of the US. Plus Verizon is always trying to exert control.

Hello.

I just wondering, I create a new APN with information from my old Atrix 4G, do you think it will automatically disable LTE and will save battery?

P.S.

I'm in non-LTE area and in order for Nitro connect to internet I had to either change my plan to LTE or add new APN. I did the later and it seems to work fine, getting slightly better speed then on Atrix.

Just in case someone need this, here is APN data I've used:

Please read the thread I've pointed you to.

Apps that have services - need those services. How exactly do you expect Skype to react to incoming calls, if it's not running? And if you don't want it running for some reason - log out of it.

If you see something and don't know why it's this way - don't touch it until you know.
[myTouch 4G General] cubanito08:
Yeah i get what u mean , let say like this app skyri, how would u know if it use services or not????
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Read the app description.

If it is something that needs to be running constantly - like wallpaper, messenger, something that syncs with internet, widget with changing data, or anything like it - then it needs.

If it doesn't - then it doesn't.

If you think it doesn't and it does - either leave it as is or uninstall.
