[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] davidchang88:
Used pauls awesome rom v21 for a long time, didnt experience this problem though

How screens actually has a screen proximity sensor, when we move phone close to our ear during phonecall, it detects it and turns off the screen. When you pull it away the screen comes back on. This is for battery saving.

In your case if it vibrates every 10 seconds during a call i think it is uncommon, maybe u can try setting vibration off for notification sounds and see how that works? Like reddy suggested?

Could be a bad installation. But just a suggestion, i recently unlocked bootloader, installed nAa kernel and install pauls cyanogenmod 9 v2 rom and it works ultra smooth, i recommend you try it out. The nAa kernel should give u general improvements in the phone also :D

Hello,

I have a TF201 with ICS. And im new to android tablets. But I was wondering is it possible to remove the menu bar at the bottom or have it auto hide. The thing that gets me most. Is if im using n64oid or somthing similar it stays there and its very annoying.

A geek wants to buy her daughter her first android phone as a surprise gift, I am not a teenager anymore :D so I disqualified myself as an objective advisor.

I thought of making the question here, I know there are many teenagers playing around with their PLAYs here, and I know this is the right place to ask and take advice from other teenagers. Her preferred games are Zelda, Mario Bros, Zuma and that kind of games

ACTIVE or PLAY ??

PLAY pros and cons:

Playstation certified, Front camera for video chat (do you really use it a lot?), Physical gamepad

ACTIVE pros and cons:

More recent model, no front camera, no PS certified (yet), Water resistant and sturdy construction

I appreciate your oppinions
[Xperia Play General] benc1213:
Well if she likes to play games then get the play for sure. As a teenager it is probably one of the best phones I have ever owned.

Well, if your daughter likes to play mobile games, then the PLAY it is. With buying the Active you can be sure that it won't break easily. :)

Iphone, best for girls
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
ughhhhh was that even relavent?
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
Yes because sometimes my opinion is none of the above. And that isnt play hate. Iphone is very popular with the ladies

She will appreciate being able to facetime with her friends because trust me, they dont have plays.
[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
if she's a heavy gamer, and likes emulator gaming (snes, gba, ecc) that has got their share of Mario and Zelda, then the xplay is the way to go, but be careful: the xperia play may be perfect for gaming, and that's one point in favor to "teenagers", but at the same time it has a big downside for that kind of person: it's bulky, and while most of the time it's a matter of opinion and tastes, i'd say that 90% of the world's population thinks this phone is definetly not beautiful. I'd go as far as to say it's quite ugly.

Maybe for a teenager girl that's a big point of interest, while i myself don't give two flying craps about it ;)

But the active is a good piece of phone too. You said "it's a most recent model" but it has got the same exact hardware as the play, but that's not the point: dude i've seen videos on youtube made by a fellow italian like me in which he absolutely tries to destroy the xperia active without even scratching it, throwing it in puddles, trying to scratch its screen with screwdrivers, RUNNING OVER IT with a god forsaken car!!!

I really envy xperia active users. THey can experience their phones without that constant, persistent fear that gets to all of us when we take our 500 euro phone out of our pockets. Without fearing to scratch the screen with keys in their pockets, without fearing to drop it, without fearing to get it wet...
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
it depends on if she is a girly girl or not. as if she is then she will prob want a bright pink iphone :D lol but if she isnt then she will prob like gaming alot and therefore would love the xplay
[Xperia Play General] swebosdev:
There you have it

Girl with female friends, get iphone

She is one of the guys, get a play

She is disrespectful of her belongings, get an active

Only you know what one your daughter is

I would buy xperia play but it think its no intersting which model , she will use apps like whatsapp and some facebook apps .

So both of them can handle with this ^^
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
The beauty of this phone is that it does its smartphone functions as neatly as it does the gaming ones.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Thats why I returned my droid3 a week after it came out. I wanted something new and exciting, saw the Xperia Play , realized I could have a fully functional smartphone that allows me to play games with ease, said to myself "yea ill take that".

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

The Xperia Play can do anything she would use an android for, I would say if she likes games then get her a Play, if she does not play games then she wont utilize the gaming controls, if thats the case, get her the Active.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Who said the Play looks ugly ? I've gotta say it looks really nice especially in white. It may be bulky but that's about it, regarding looks I think it looks very good !

It's got such a lovely curve at the back which makes it so nice to hold. Fits perfectly in my hand :)
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I agree its curve shape on the back makes it great I really like this phone
[Xperia Play General] savage24x:
iPhone if you want great stability, great support, and great ease of use, with higher quality apps.
[Xperia Play General] fma965:
Lol. Great support. Don't make me laugh
[Xperia Play General] netizenmt:
In actuality, neither gender nor age is particularly relevant, other than is the target owner mature enough for a smartphone in general. Some 13 year olds are very responsible; some twenty-somethings can't be trusted with the most durable of phones. That's just Life.

For example, I'm a 54 year OLD man, married with 3 grown children, a 3rd shift job and plenty of bills and responsibilites who just happens to like playing video games and enjoys a rousing session of PacMan, Dragon's Lair, or NFS Pursuit.

The most important thing in deciding on the right phone for this young person is how will she want to use it, as has been mentioned. The Play is a marvelous gaming phone which also does incredibly well at playing video, music, and, oh yes, making phone calls. As an Android phone, it does almost all things Android well. If your young person is going to want to be an avid texter, and only a casual gamer, then a phone with a dedicated slide or flip out keyboard might be more to her taste.

In closing, I would say the best course of action might be to wrap a small piece of paper in a large box. When she opens it, it could say "Congratulations! We're going to the cellphone store to buy you a smartphone today!" and let her pick out the phone that best suits both her tastes and needs, and the purchaser's wallet. Evryone wins that way, with much less chance of Buyer's Remorse.
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
-If she likes games a lot, get her a play.

-If she tends to break phones easily, an active would be better.

-if neither of those and you wanna give her a more stylish xperia, the arc is the way to go.

The thing with the play is that a lot of people get it for gaming, but don't end up playing games much in the end. Unless she's really an avid gamer, it's not worth it.

This right here! I agree completely. While my parents love to surprise me with this or that and I like most of their surprises there have been times that my parents have surprised me and I had to "feign" excitement as to not hurt their feelings.

SO this poster has a great idea. That way she can play with it in the store and all.

WHo knows, she may not even like Android(Personally, if I had the choice I'd own a Windows phone right now...but thats me)

But i think you are a cool dad for doing that and best of luck to you both :D
[Xperia Play General] gtrab:
what netizenmt said :)

Still one month to go, but last night we were at the mall and "casually" took a look inside the carrier's shop. She saw the Play but to my surprise she wasn't interested :confused: she said "it's big" and moved to the next one. My carrier doesn't have the Active yet.

Guess which phone she spent more time at ?? I was shocked: a red/black Defy :eek:
[Xperia Play General] The Alpha Gamer:
ewwwwwww D=
[Xperia Play General] Asked Man:
Girls and phones

I know two girls that bought the Defy. My son picked the motorola XT300 from my carrier shop as well. My wife still uses the Nokia 5800 up to this day, and have refused even a Milestone 2.

My sister in law once summed up this oddity, girls choose phones by design, not horsepower or features. I try to talk her out of this for almost 5 years in a row, even gave her a nokia e63 when it launched but she traded it for a LG KS360, cause it was prettier.

I gave up after this.
[Xperia Play General] gtrab:
I'm still shocked, she appreciated the small form factor and pretty design plus the fact it is waterproof, I bit my tongue and didn't say a word while thinking to myself: "this shizz is not even getting ICS, this shizzz has an 800MHz chip, this shizzzz has motoblur NOOOOOO !!" I hope my carrier gets the xperia active in time for her birthday, still some weeks to go (...or the defy+ at least :p)

I guess this same gender dilemma applies to cars: I'd blindly buy a powerful vroom vroom gas-sucker arabs-enriching V8, but never ever drive a beetle, hyundai or a snailpower-instead-of-horsepower prius :D
[Xperia Play General] The Alpha Gamer:
Can't the shop be magically "out of stock" of that phone when you go to get her it? Forcing you to get her something else
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
I know several people with the Defy. They've had nothing but problems.. Motorola has had really poor quality phones ever since the first razr. I would personally never buy another one after all the issues my friends had with many different models, the last 5 years or so.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi everyone.

I've poked around and I can figure out how to root without wiping, how to root ICS on a Nexus S, and how to root a Nexus S on a mac, but not all 3 together. I can technically run windows on my Mac but its slow and not the greatest experience (I had headaches using parallels for my Nokia E71). The reason I ask for a no-wipe is because I pretty much have all the settings and everything exactly as I want. If there was a way to 100% clone the memory card and internal memory I would but all I can find are programs that'll back it up once its already rooted.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Wiping isn't that bad I do it every other day. And with all the backup tool Like titanium, etc it makes it even easier.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thanks.

For now, before I root, can I just copy over everything on my SD card to my computer, root and then overwrite the SD card with what I copied to my desktop? Eg. I have a few gameloft games that are hundreds of megabytes in size; I don't want to have this cause them to break or force a re-download.

And I'm still unsure about what's in the internal memory. I know certain things are remembered as part of the Google cloud but is everything remembered (for lack of a better term)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
You can copy the games folder to your computer. And music,etc too if you want. All Google stuff is in the cloud so you'll get that back when you sign back in to your google account during setup.

[Kindle Fire General] jeffbud98:
Ive already seen that thread but i am planning to root with burritoroot 3 so i was wondering if the next ota from amazon would brick my device since i will have the custom bootloader
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Bootloader != Protection. Many people with a rooted stock rom with TWRP and FireFireFire were updated with the OTA..

Removing the system file listed in the thread above works OR using some other rom like CM7, CM9 etc.. will then ignore it.
[Kindle Fire General] karmadragon:
When the Kindle fire installs an OTA update, it also restores the stock boot loader. Whatever customer boot loader or recover program you have installed will get deleted, and you will lose root. It pretty much restores the device to stock.

I have never seen it brick the kindle, though. That shouldn't be possible.
[Kindle Fire General] stoges:
The OTA is aimed at improving performance and security. It is not going to brick anything, but you will be back to stock with no root.
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
As said before, OTA updates aren't likely to brick your device. Even if it does, you should have no problem returning/getting a replacement.

So I downloaded it on my N1 and backed up the apk with tb. Moved it over via dropbox and voila. it works perfectly on the NT. Play around with it if you would like. This app, as the review states, is still in "pre-beta" and as of now, this is free in the market.

Also looking for a wifi only tab. Any thoughts from those that have/use a tab with their phone?

I have a xoom (pretty much the nexus of tablets) and I love it for that reason, but it's 10.1 inches and the hardware has been surpassed. I would go SAMSUNG if anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I have a Tab 10.1 with a ZAGG combo keyboard/case. So does Task650. It's a bit dated though. No MicroSD slot, but the USB host adapter is $20 and works great.

Don't know about the 8.9.

The Tab 7 Plus had great potential, but Samsung ****ed it up with a closed-source wifi driver that seems to have some nasty bugs. Their attitude towards that (It's BSD-licensed, so they COULD release source and have no reason not to, but they chose not to) has soured me on Samsung to the point where the GS2 might be my last Samsung device if they don't change their attitude. (I don't own a 7 Plus, but I have been giving garyd9 a lot of assistance with it - his experiences were the final evidence that Samsung's attitude towards platform developers is "**** off, go away, we've met our bare minimum legal requirements")

The Tab 7.7 has potential - 1.4 GHz Exynos, the first tablet with an AMOLED display - if it has an AR6000 wifi chipset avoid it though (see above regarding the 7 Plus).

You may want to wait to see what hits the market in the next few months - Asus ****ed up the Prime (locked bootloader, metal body that kills wifi/GPS performance), kind of like they made some stupid mistakes with the Transformer, but other quadcore tablets should follow soon. Honestly even a 10.1" dualcore Exynos with a fully open source kernel would make me drop my current 10.1 in a heartbeat - the Tegra2's media capabilities are pretty crappy.
