Guys, if you are on a contract you can still change your phone.. You just have to use the same sim card. Most people don't change their number/operator for years so it's no big deal.. If you buy a new phone again from your operator you won't have 2 contracts, they will update your current one. It works like this in my country at least..

I will vote for NEO V, its better than Mini Pro.

If you think that a cell phone is only a machine for you which must perform good then can go for Samsung/ Moto/LG any thing with better specs. For me a cell is much more than a machine. So I will stick to SE in-spite of their disadvantages.

Look and style also matters.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rores:
Sorry for posting here, but I couldn't see a general forum for the ray, and I would like to ask a couple of questions that I can't solve by watching YouTube.

1- how many multitouch points are supported? Does it have a bug where points are inverses?

2- does camera support 1080p or just 720p?

3- what is gaming like? Does the snapdragon feel responsive? Is it good enough to play gameloft games with no or very little lag?

I know the screen is small, but I can't bear any more than 3.7 inches (my brothers defy)

4- how many ppi by default in the screen? Is it nice to look at and clear quality?

5- last thing: is this better than a defy or defy+? They both cost 120€ here with a standard 20€ a month contract.

Thanks guys, I am really looking forward to getting this phone!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] g00gle88:
1. I have no idea

2. only 720p

3. Ray is a smaller version of Arc, so gaming is good. Ray has the same cpu/gpu as the mini/mini pro, active, live with walkman. they all support hvga games.

4. 297 ppi for full specs and review http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_ray-3972.php

5. hardware wise its better than defy. go to www.gsmarena.com for specs comparison

for video review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSG0sj1Sy5w

i hope it helps.

OT: you might want to consider SE Live with Walkman (up to $100 cheaper)

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milo_Hutz:
I hope it is legit...you've actually bought from this character before, lloydcabraham? Electronics?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I ordered one, I've been scammed before on eBay, but since it has buyer protection if its a scam we will get full refund. Since about 130 people have bought so far we won't have too much trouble reporting the scam, if it comes to that. Hopefully it's not a scam.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milo_Hutz:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf767:
They are coming from China I will be very surprised if you got the touchpad rather then some KIRF from china.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milo_Hutz:
I would be surprised to even get a KIRF. I figured it was a "take the money and run" kind of things. Still, even if it is a KIRF, Ebay and Paypal would seem to offer some protection to the buyer...I hope...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Since the item description states that the brand is HP, then we would be protected by eBay and Paypal. But we would probably have to pay return shipping.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
What if the buyer receives an empty box? How is paypal/ebay going to protect you from that? The seller obviously shipped something, they can say that the buyer is lying and that the product was in the box.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
if that happens there will be 499 ppl stating the same. i just received shipping details from ebay. it cost me 35 dollars since i had 10% coupon, hopefully its something worth that

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoisright:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milo_Hutz:
I hope Leo is right...it does make sense that any seller could scam a buyer or two by sending the old "empty box"- but 499 empty boxes is difficult for Ebay and Paypal to ignore...

Or, perhaps, HP Touchpads will arrive...another Festivus miracle!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myti:
Scam

I'm afraid you all got scammed here, but probably Paypal will return your money. It's not that this seller is a fraud, but probably his account has been hacked. Maybe you all are very lucky, but normally nothing branded comes cheaper from China.

I live in China and recently bought my TP on the Chinese Ebay clone Taobao.com, I payed 250 USD for the 16G version..

Funny thing is it was originally send from Shanghai (I can see that on the package, HP Export zone Shanghai, not sure where it was produced in China) to a buyer in Memphis USA, which bought it for 99 USD I guess. From Memphis it was probably sold through Ebay to some guy in Shanghai, possibly for 200 USD or less. This guy sold it to me on Taobao for 250 USD, which is still a very decent price if I compare to other tablets on the market. What a world..

it's not legal i think...
[LG Optimus 2x] sonic1995:
it's not but there's not any micro chance to pay something for doing that, if u want try this apk and if u like u decide: buy the app or just stay with one i upload
[LG Optimus 2x] sonic1995:
u can try the free app
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
I have tried it, its not real autofocus, it uses the accelerometer to detect motion and when in stationary after motion, it will automatically focus. But if you only make slight soft movement, it will not register the movement and will not refocus.

Real autofocus keeps the focus point constantly focused even in video mode. But the app only focus once when you press the record button for video then it will not refocus anymore during recording, same as stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] sonic1995:
Try the pro version , and try manual focus and touch the screen and then record (u only can record with focus, rigt in front of object or something written, or normal camera like stok one) the idea is if u have to film something that neeg focus this is great

Hi, I would your opinion about a procedure.

I want to change my micro-sd card from the original one (4 GiB, class-2) to a Sandisk 8 GiB class-6.

I have MIUI 1.12.16 A2SD version, cm7-r2 hboot, with 1 GiB Ext4 on SD.

I want to operate like this:

- Do a nandroid backup

- Full wipe

- Make 1 GiB Ext4 partition on new SD-card with Gparted

- Put new SD-card

- Restore nandroid backup

It will work without problem or I need a full wipe and a fresh install? If I am wrong please suggest me. Thanks
[Desire General] erklat:
That seems about right. Recap:

*prepare your new card.

*make nandroid

*copy all contents to pc

*copy them on your new card

*nandroid restore.

Wipes are unecessary. Check checksum of your backup just in case - afaik 4EXT can do that.

1. how can I unlock the Chinese limitation for android market without losing my warranty?

2. is possible to install WW or US build without rooting?

3. how can I ROOT my tablet with this build (I know it hasn't been implementeed yes, but this should be cumulative thread for all knows problems of the chinese transformers)?

4. any method to retrieve my serial number without watching at the box?

Download the UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_6_23 file from the TF101G page on the Asus website.

Extract the zip. Go into the folder. Go into "ASUS" Go into "Update". Rename the zip you find here to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip Copy this file to the root of a micro sd card Turn the tablet off Insert the microsd card Press the power and the volume down button together and hold When the bootloader menu appears, release both buttons, then press volume up once.

Should work now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Hi Devs.

As the topic title suggests i would like to make a request about a specific function in my Note.

I would like an app or something that automatically disables Background Data and Auto Sync after a period of time. The reason of course being battery drain.

I tend to enable Background Data and after i do my business i tend to forget it on and it crunches my battery.

Could any of you with the technical knowledge help me out?

Thank you

Edit/ Does anyone know how to do the above with a known app or anything? I tried Tracker but got even more confused.

I just tried that but i noticed that disabling the data network mode(when you press the power button for awhile) does not switch off the Background data option in Accounts and Sync. Unless of course it stops the data from running without apparently changing the setting anyway...

Using an alternate launcher (LauncherPro, ADW, GO, etc.), you lose everything Sense. Widgets, screen transitions (revolving, etc.), everything.

Unfortunately, this is correct.

I really like Sense (I LOVE the widgets)except it annoys the hell out of me that there is no landscape view available on the home screens.

Because of this, I alternately run ADWLauncher EX at times especially when I have the phone mounted sideways in a car mount. Running ADW is nice & has TONS of custom options but it does disable all the Sense options.

I noticed when my phone gets to about 20% battery left my hard key backlights turn off and on every 5 to 10 seconds. Is this normal?

Sent from InfinityROM using XDA Premium.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
They turn on and off according to the same sensor that controls auto brightness, maybe it is the ambient light.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Not really sure how to answer your question, however, I usually turn off my hard button backlights toggling Screen Filter on and off. There is a setting in there to not turn off the backlights if you'd like. Using the widget as well as the shortcut allows me to have different brightness levels, and the ability to choose whether I want to backlights on or off (I prefer off.)

They do seem to turn on after a while somehow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cae.dev:
I recently dropped my S2 into water for a few seconds and following a week of drying out I turned it on to find that everything is working fine. The only problem I have is that the phone thinks it is at 100% charge after being plugged in for a few seconds. On the first charge I left it plugged in whilst showing 100% and overnight it managed to charge fully so that the phone worked for a full day.

Today however, it reaches 100% (after a few seconds) and seems to stop charging any further. I can use the phone whilst it is plugged in but as soon as I unplug it shuts down due to no power.

Is there a way to reset the battery stats or fix this? I'm currently running 2.3.4 stock.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Reset battery stats .

As you dont know the basics try Battery Calibration from the market .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cae.dev:
That requires root access... is there no way to address this without deviating from official firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryronz:
Try pull out the battery and put it in the hot water cupboard overnight (or blow dry it, but not too hot - it is a battery afterall), then try it again. Could be related to the calibration chip on the battery...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcddcjjcd:
Battery calibration

It has been mentioned in several XDA forums that the SGS2 has a power supervisor chip that manages calibration automatically and doesn't need battery cycling.

You have probably sustained damage to your phone. It wont cost much to try a new battery though but it is a long shot.

Regards,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almorsol:
Hi, I am sorry I am using your thread to post a personal question.

I would recommend you to try a different battery though.

The problem I have is similar, but not the same.

When the phone sounds that it has full charged, I unpluged it and it immeadiately changes from 100% to 99% or 98%. After that it uncharges as normal.

What could be the reason?

I calibrated it with the battery calibrator. Also took out the battery after full charge and plug it back on. With no results.

What could I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cae.dev:
For anyone who's interested, I've managed to fix the problem by doing a full factory reset. To do this I powered up the phone into recovery mode (start whilst holding power, home and volume up) and performed both factory reset and and cleared the cache. Now appears to working fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
[HTC Sensation] astrah:
just wanted some input as to which would be a recommended radio.

I recently flashed the Elegancia Rom Series: V1.4.2: 24th Dec but have noticed that I am getting very poor reception.

Not sure if this a weather problem or just coincidence but wanted to try another radio but this is where I get stumped as to which one to try.

Current details from phone are:

Baseband: 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

Build number: 2.08.401.1 CL168617 release-keys

I don't understand RIL and RUU etc hence why I am asking for recomendations.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The best radio is the one that works.

Did your signal work before you installed the latest ROM?

You are on 10.15.

Can you remember what the signal was like on 10.14?

If you want to change back,10.14 is HERE

:)
[HTC Sensation] astrah:
Thanks for the speedy reply.

To be honest I never really took much notice as to what Radio was on the phone. I would just flash a new rom and be done with it. It seems that since I upgraded to Elegancia Rom Series: V1.4.2 I noticed my signal was poor.

I have flashed the radio from the link you supplied and I now have 4 green bars instead of 3 orange so I suppose that could be classed as an improvement but still no 3G or H.

The only option I can see now is revert back to the previous build of the Elegancia Rom Series and see what difference that makes.
