[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I love it when CES goes on. I don't like waiting all year long for stuff to finally come out. And, I noticed that Sprint doesn't look to be providing a Keynote this year... Maybe HTC?
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
That LG Viper looks like a mixup of an EVO and a Galaxy
[HTC EVO 3D] Karl:
Wish they would get the 32GB version of the Nexus
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
yeah will be interesting to see what David Owens of Sprint has to show/say tomorrow at 2PM ET during his speach. thats the only official thing from sprint i see though.

Another tid bit that will be nice is Qualcomm's speech just before Sprints....

doubt much from HTC here or much more from sprint since they typically do stuff at CTIA if i recall correctly.
[HTC EVO 3D] bmoreboy02:
The phone looks awesome and im glad to see sprint pushing out LTE phones. When im at home im on wifi anyway lol. Ive had an eligible upgrade since the iphones 4s and galaxy S2 and both times i just decided they werent good enough to get rid of my evo. Sad thing is my evo 3d is not even rooted lol. Maybe this phone will be the phone that dose it. I love my galaxy 10.1 tab so theres a good chance
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah that would have been better.... Verizon has the 32gb version :-(
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
meh.........
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Well during David Owens interview with Engadget just now he kinda made point to say something that was troubling....

During the interview they were discussing LTE and devices and he made point to say "...well we haven't announced LTE pricing yet....." and then later "...LTE pricing TBD..."

So. Dunno if im reading too much into that as I can't see them charging more for LTE device than they did for WiMax devices as that would just be ludicris and you'd see an outrage they are not in the position to deal with. Hoping He was specifically meaning the Hotspot device plans and such like that and NOT phones.

btw hes the VP of Product Development at Sprint

Edit:

I'm likely reading too much into what he said and he likely was referring to Hotspot devices as they had just talked about or were about to talk about the new hotspot device I have mentioned in post 1.

Funny thing was during the interview most of the comments on engadgets live twitter chat were all about "ASK him about WINDOWS PHONE!!" lol

I could care less about that lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
He was talking about "game changers" and failed to mention the EVO 4G. What a shame. That's one of the biggest game changers there ever was.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
I've fell off following Sprint's LTE dance but I'm assuming the Lightsquared deal is green-lighted, pending official word?

Houston & this CES line-up makes me wonder.

Or will they scratch the 900Mhz 3G plans & use it for their LTE 4G as plan B?
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
it's really disappointing to me that the whole nexus line is samsung. cheap garbage.

of course, i will suck into techoholism that i have and buy the galaxy nexus to give it a shot. 3rd time's the charm? i hope so.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
What a weak showing for Sprint at this show...
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Seriously?

When did Sprint ever show their best or anything really wowing at CES?

CTIA is Sprint's target, every year. I wished they'd give CES more "oomph" but it's not shocking.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoolander99:
Same as last year when the moto atrix was announced. CTIA is when we will see the next EVO. Here's hoping its LTE
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yup. Ppl should be shocked sprint was even there none the less announced devices and showed them off some.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am aware of that but sometimes surprising the people with an unexpected announcement is a good thing!

Even announcing the Galaxy Nexus without any targeted release date or internal specs is like a half ass announcement. Are they actually going to wait for for LTE to roll out before they release this phone? At that point the phone will become even more irrelevant then it already is now as I am sure the big hitters will be coming at that time like the next EVO or the SGS3.

When is CTIA anyway?
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
CTIA is May 8-12th im pretty sure.

They said they were releasing these phones all in the first half of '12 if i recall too along with at least 15 total LTE devices for the year which is solid imho. I dont think they are concerned with the "big hitters" coming at that time too b/c the people that want to buy the Nexus will simply buy the Nexus no matter what usually.

Big announcement last night btw b/w Motorola and Intel working together. Finally gets Intel in a big name device manufacturer partnership. Not good for Qualcomm imho, but least this will likely infuse some more competition and make Qualcomm and others step up their game faster.

The intel stuff has me peaking interest right now. the guys are going for 14nm NEXT!!

The first one powered by Intel chips(Atom) will be Lenovo and its the K800. Some solid specs there for a phone.

4.5-inch 720p screen, 6 hours of HD video playback, 45 hours of audio, 8 hours of talk over a 3g network and 14 days on standby, McAfee security, 3D gaming, 1080p video playback, 1080p video capture, *MP camera with 15fps Capability. They showed it taking 10 freaking pics in a single second!!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
new video of Sprint's Nexus added to OP.

[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I have an upgrade available in June, so I'm hoping something like this from HTC this summer.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoolander99:
I can't wait to argue whether the next major sprint phone will sell out or not on XDA, weeks before it comes out.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Why does anyone even care if Sprint gets a Nexus? Everyone else already has it. The device will be 6 months old (or.older) by the time Sprint releases it.

I can't understand why anyone would be excited for a device that is already going to be outdated, or at least better devices soon to be released.
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
+1
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I can agree with this fully. By the time we get a Galaxy Nexus, there will probably be a new EVO in line, or released. When I got my EVO 3D, the next couple weeks I was already jealous of the new ones being released. I'm glad HTC is slowing down the quantity of the phones being released, it was kinda getting out of hand. They need to think more about the long-term life of devices, especially now that Sprint got rid of the loyalty program that allowed us to upgrade every 1-year, and not wait 2.
[HTC EVO 3D] JT man:
Is there any truth to this? http://phandroid.com/2012/01/03/rumor-samsung-galaxy-note-going-to-sprint-too/

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Torres77an:
Could any one post it up here for download I was actually planing to play this game but it some how uninstalled it's self on reboot after sending it to sd card .

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Step666:
Even though the game is bundled free with the Xperia handsets, as copyrighted material it would be a serious breach of the forum rules (not to mention the law in most countries) for anyone to post a copy in this thread.

If you want to get it back, your only option is to re-flash your handset back to stock.

I'm going to close this thread now to avoid the risk of it heading down an undesirable route.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbarleycorn:
Hi guys, I noticed that using the flashlight application (built in Cyanogen mod), the LED emits much more light than when it is used with the camera, you can also set the camera in order to use the LED to 100% of its potential ? :confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
That's probably because current for flash & torch setting on kernel are different. It is defined on

kernel /drivers/misc/lm356x.c
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbarleycorn:
Thanks, but that I should recompile the kernel right?

Exists a configuration file (or a startup script) that manages the whole, I can not find it :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Yes you need to code another one for flash on kernel side and compile your own camera app to support it I think. Here's a code snippet from cyanogenmod kernel which makes torch brighter.

If your a kernel developer the function for setting flash current is already available
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbarleycorn:
Very well, thank you for the answers, I realized where is the problem.

Unfortunately I am not a developer so I have not the faintest idea of ​​where to put their hands, but I do not understand something, correct me if I'm wrong, it would be more logical to set the flash of the camera to "shoot" at full power, instead of set to a minimum?

Right now it is pretty bare-bones!

I tried to post the question in the thread "Cyanogen 7.2", but have not received answers, you are to the development team? I think it would be a good idea to have a more powerful flash ;)

....hehehe death ray makes the idea xDxD
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
I am not from CM Dev Team nor a Kernel developer for android. As you can see I just joined xda and got my 1st android device 2 weeks ago but I have a good background on kernel development since I came from a pure linux mobile community. Maemo :D

Also to answer your question I think the only reason they didn't implement it on flash is because the current flash is just enough for them and pushing it up higher would just make people you shoot with your camera close their eyes instead of smiling? :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbarleycorn:
... right, "just enough ".... but almost useless, it would be nice for a more powerful flash photos at night. Moreover, the Xenon flash is much more powerful, I think it's a shame, because at night the camera loses its very poor performance because of the flash.

with a boosted flash, they're all like this: :eek: :eek: :eek:

or like this: :cool: :cool:

:D:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I extracted an mp3 file from an APK (via rename to .zip and extract). However, the mp3 file isn't recognized by any app, and so won't play.

What am I missing to get this to work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
you don't rename the extension for starters. on pc get 7zip,open the apk,copy the mp3 and paste to where you want it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
That's no different than what I did. It's still doing a zip extraction.

Just for kicks, I did it your way, and got the exact same file, byte for byte. Still the same problem, too - it's not being recognized as an mp3.
[Xoom General] Navrig:
I have the XOOM WiFi only and love it.

Previously I have had an Android phone and looked at that time at rooting it in order to upgrade to Android 2.0. Vodafone was being a bit slow with updates however as I was on contract I chickened out.

Obviously I am not on a contract with the XOOM so i am wondering if someone could explain the benefits to be had in rooting my XOOM, other than installing ICS before Motorola release it.

What are the risks of bricking it and what do I have to do to back up the data.
[Xoom General] skinien:
I followed a particular method of rooting that wiped the tablet. I didn't really care about my app data but you may be able to find a method to root that maintains user data. I use Titanium Backup to backup user data but it requires root. Astro file manager also does backups - not sure if it requires root so you may want to give it a shot.

Aside from flashing ROMs/kernels, the biggest benefit to me is using SixAxis controller to use my PS3 controller with games.
[Xoom General] Navrig:
I use Astro so I'll have a look.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
It's the unlocking, not the rooting, per se, that wipes the tablet. Good luck finding a rooting method that doesn't require unlocking the bootloader.

(Chuckles under breath.)
[Xoom General] Radddogg:
Don't forget over locking too!

I just love tinkering so just flashing a now rom makes me happy :-)
[Xoom General] Navrig:
So what are the advantages of rooting an Andfoid device?
[Xoom General] theoner1:
Lol, you already knew there's no other way but to unlock first which wipe everything. I've been searching all over but result to none available.

this is what holding me back from rooting my wife's wifi Xoom. She have a bunch of games and app data that needed to be save before the unlocking but apparently the xoom is easier to unlock and do permanent root than to find temp root just to use root only app.
[Xoom General] thechainrule:
how long did it take to root the device?
[Xoom General] tcrews:
Access to everything.....but the advantage would be able to run apps that require root. Titanium Backup being a primary one for me. Root Explorer if you like to move files to or edit files in /system. There are quite a few apps that require root that I find useful.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
The ability to back everything up completely, and to be able to change your system fonts and customize your own Xoom experience to your heart's content.
[Xoom General] FuturePrimitive:
Like others have already said I like the overclocking ability, true access to everything, customization, etc...

Although I have to admit, just rooted my Xoom for the first time last night. :rolleyes: Not sure why I waited so long.

I did run a rooted/rom'd D1 for quite a while though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
Bought it for $20 on Amazon just to see how long those extended batteries last. Here's the first 100% to 5% run since I've received the battery 2 days ago.

As you've probably noticed, I use the phone more as a portable computer/gps/media-player than an actual phone so that's why screen-on time is quite low. No need to have display on when jamming music :D So yeah, personally I wouldn't use this as my daily driver since the battery bulge looks and feels horrid but I guess for some people the great battery life and the $20 price tag will be a fair trade.

Enjoy!

[HTC Wildfire S] raven.warsong:
I have a gsm usa t-mobel wildfire s pg76240. At this time the ruu is not listed on the htc dev web-sight. Its my understanding the bootloader is locked and there is no work arounds untill they update or release a ruu for this phone.

I have see a few post about people useing a different rom one there is a ruu for and unlocking the bootloader.

is this true. If say is it safe are there any chances of bringing the phone?

Thanks for reading my post

Hi, I'm on Tmobile UK and there is an RUU for my phone but it doesn't work, have also tried several others but no luck yet. Think might have to wait a long time for Tmobile to be

[HTC Wildfire S] raven.warsong:
what about phones with no ruu
[HTC Wildfire S] pandollar:
Hi, can I assume that the Tmobile UK BL can't be unlocked until Tmobile release an update, which means that it will be a hell of a long time with there track record.
[HTC Wildfire S] Gloris:
i'm on t-mobile uk and i can confirm that you can definitely unlock the bootloader.

i had already upgraded with the RUU gingerbread rom if that makes any difference?

but anyways, with the htc-dev unlock method, i think i chose their RUU that was called TMOUK or something similar (i assumed that it's some kind of abbreviation for t-mobile?). anyways, that worked for me, but failing that, i assume the HTC EUROPE RUU option would also work?
[HTC Wildfire S] pandollar:
Thanks but have tried the tmouk and the latest Euro ruu, nothing seems to work.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
Alright everyone, I'm getting annoyed and I'm hoping someone more talented than me can come here to save the day. I'm attempting to use a conditional init.d script that runs if it finds the file of my choosing (in this case, radio.sh in /system/bin) and then if it finds it, it will disable radio. What I'm having problems with is that it keeps giving me connection refused on boot when disabling radio. So, any idea?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:

Hey globatron,

If you remove phone.apk and telephoneyproviders.apk you no longer get cell stand by in battery usage but it breaks GPS. If I leave the files and issue the stop ril-daemon command. It turns off the radio and GPS still works but cell standby appears in battery usage. Is there a way to disable the radios completely, still have GPS work and not have cell standby in battery usage?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Indirect:
You have to have cell standby for GPS to work, I think they are in the same chip.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gordonzhao:
I don't get what you're trying to accomplish, if youre trying to disable the CDMA radio and use wifi only like me, but want GPS, just turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi and GPS and you're set. If I'm mistaken about what you're trying to do then never mind.

Side note, leaving the CDMA radio on didn't bother me because I don't have service with my view, but it still takes from the battery of course.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
Here is something odd.. gps does work if you remove the stuff for cell standby. I thought it was broken (everytime I tried in my house it never locked on a signal) but it's not. I fired up navigation just now and while it did take longer to lock a signal then with the radio stuff in, it did lock and start giving me directions.. I guess the cell radios assist the gps(considerably) but are not fully responsible for it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wutzin:
This is an important functionality to disable the cell radio!

I've been trying for days now - can't understand why Android doesn't simply provide a checkbox in the settings for this (like for Bluetooth or Wifi).

When people suggest airplane mode, they don't realize that this blocks the stock dialer from placing any calls.

This is really poor design on the part of the Android team: they include a sip stack (thank you!) , then force users to resort to airplane mode to disable the cell, and then block the dialer (when all a user wants is simply to use sip over wifi)...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] immjg:
Why would you care about the stock dialer for placing call if you turned off your radio? You ain't making any calls without the radio anyway.... I'm confused:confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] stevedebi:
He is using sip over WiFi, but he needs a dialer. That doesn't use the mobile radio.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] boastt:
sounds like it sends the command before ril is ready.

The only way I got it to work was by having "sleep 60" before the radiooptions command.

Maybe there is some trigger for ril, so the command can run once its ready. I had done a loop to check if ril-daemon is running first, but that doesn't seem to be enough (probably takes more time to load the vender RIL next)

It seems radiooptions just disables the radio, but it still uses power.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mar1boro:
Did anybody have success in disabling the radio? I'm also looking for the way how to use View 4G abroad without Sprint.

May be it's possible to modify the firmware to make it "wifi only" - exactly as it made for the HTC Flyer?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Alcoholic:
This isn't coming till Q2? What the hell? Why????
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
There are some downsides to this thing, the first titan still looks better to me (I don't care much for cam mp's) at this point. Titan II has no removable battery, storage wasn't increased and LTE sucks battery and is not available to like 90% of att customers and I don't belive it can be turned off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Though I like the looks of the Titan 1, when I first saw it in pictures, I didn't think to highly of it. It just looked like the same old rehash of the now-common HTC style. It wasn't until I saw a Titan 1 in person that I became quite fond of it. The Titan 2 doesn't look like much to me in these pictures, but I will reserve aesthetic judgment till I handle one. The battery is no issue with me, I can live without a removable battery. The storage could be an issue. There needs to be up to 64GB...or removable storage. The camera is no big deal to me either...unless it is superb quality. A 2MP superb quality camera can blow away a 5 bajillion MP low quality camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
AND Titan 2 has plasticy back instead of the metalic aluminium stury one on Titan 1. That broke the deal and out weighed the 16 meg px for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
No...

I thought that could be pain in the ass , but no, Non Removable Battery and Pastic cover + LTE Technology which is not compatible if i go back to my country.

16MP Pixel is sweet, but if i really want to take a picture, my Sony Cybershot 10MP can do even better.
