[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
From some standpoints it seems simply wasteful to produce and package a product that's not intended to sell. I think they're just really trying to push accessories that would better fit the N9 in that WP7 cannot make use of the NFC benefits.

No rumors about either. The 800 is coming up in a week, the 900 not too long after that, since it's preselling already.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotboyray:
im currently running cm7.

i have an htc EVo.

i was backing up my data on this 4GB to move it on a 8gb micro sd card. i deleted everything on it and ejected it. i put the 8gb in and suddenly it did not work any more. neither did the 4gb mico sd card. my phone says that the micro sd cards are damaged. i have several other cards that wont read. idk why... i tried plugging the micro sd cards up to the computer and the computer wont recognize them. it tells me i have to format but the format always fails. i there a fix for this? im starting to think that cm7 is damaging my sd cards. i have important things on their to me and i would love to recover them.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotboyray:
*UPDATE*

the 4gb i currently have will work in my old phone. it is a samsung highnote. but when i put it back in my htc evo it still says that it is damaged. i rebooted in clock work mod and it read this time. i was able to mount the 4gb sd card in usb storage from CWM(Clock Work MOd).

Try formating it on your pc
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

Yeah sometimes that happened, now do other micro sd cards work in it?

What I would do is put the card in your computer I prefer linux but you can do what you want, or even your phone if it will mount it in recovery then just do a full sd card wipe and that should get everything working for you! If you still can't get it to work PM me and we will figure it out!

If I helped hit the thanks please and thank you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smelkus:
The SD Formatter program from the SD association can nearly always format a card when nothing else can. Now, the data on there may not be recoverable though. I learned that the hard way too a while back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
It couldnt reformat my partitioned sd card though! but besides that that program works great!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Concordium:
I have had similar issues. My SD card was working amazingly well until I rebooted my phone to show someone my splash screen I had installed a few days prior. When it booted up it said the SD card was damaged. I'm not sure why....but sure enough it was toast. I couldn't even mount the card in order to see the files on my computer. Thankfully my motherboard was able to see that the card was there, just inaccessible, so I was able to run File Scavenger and get all of my files off. After that I reformatted my SD Card and went about my business.

THIS IS FOR PREORDER

Hi Guys,

So you can order the S on this Aussie site -

http://www.mobicity.com.au/sony-xperia-s.html#tabContainer

It says the phone comes with android 2.3, can thius be upgraded to ICS?

Is there anyword how long it will take to get an upgrade for this.

I really would have thought that it would have come out with ICS pre installed as it is a new phone???
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
This is pre-order.
[Xperia Arc General] DevilsArc:
Thanks I updated the post, do you have any idea on the upgrade question????
[Xperia Arc General] Loosely:
There's other threads on when ICS comes to Xperia elsewhere. The Arc S and a few others get it around the end of April, so I imagine the new S will be the same. My 'plain' Arc has to wait until May :(
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
Are you kidding?

729 AU $ that's about 590 € and here you can pre-order it for 450 €. ;)

And btw, the Xperia S should get the update in June.
[Xperia Arc General] DevilsArc:
Ok thanks, I know its expensive, but thats about what I paid for my Arc, its kinda the only place you can get new phones here in Oz, not branded, or locked. If anyone else knows of somewhere cheaper, Im open to suggestions!

I would pay this, sell my Arc on ebay for about 300/400 and make up the extra to get it otherwise.......
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
no one can confirm its price yet as it hasn't been released anywhere yet. So we cant say if thats an expensive price or not.

sellers just put it on their websites for pre-order to attract customers.

it will first be released in Japan on the 24th of this month and on pre-order tomorrow in japan

so we might get a price to compare world wide

you can get the japanese version and have it officially unlocked by ntt docomo.

good luck on whatever you decide to do

I had to get a warranty replacement phone due to a loose USB port. Is it safe to restore a CWM nandroid from one device to the other, or am I better off starting from scratch ROM wise?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
The cwm backup will restore almost everything from your old phone. Just not the sd card. So it is safe to restore the cwm backup on your new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nd_geek:
Thanks. That was my assumption, but I didn't want to screw up a device minutes after getting it. I managed to migrate the sd data via a couple of back-and-forths with a 4GB microSD card.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcultural:
Hey all,

I've got a problem related to my Micro USB port (at least I think it is).

[Long story]

I've got a very annoying issue right now. Today I flashed Team ICSSGS RC4.1. Later when I connected my Galaxy S to my PC with the usb cable, no recharging icon appeared and my pc did not react to the connection at all.

Thinking it was a bug in RC4.1 (as OneCosmic RC 2.3 had the mass storage issue) I searched the ICSSGS thread, but not a single issue about mass storage mode was posted. So I flashed Devil kernel, hoping to fix it, but it didn't. Reflashed RC4.1, but problem still persisted.

I went radical and recovered a nandroid backup in CWM of ICSSGS RC3.0 (the one is was running earlier today), but somehow the recovery failed and left me with a semi-bricked phone. (Actually the 2nd time in a row when recovery semi-bricked my phone.)

Only download mode works. Recovery and normal boot bootloop.

[/Long story]

In short:

When connecting to PC to flash with Odin:

-At first the PC did not even notice the phone being connected through USB. Nothing happens.

-After blowing in the contacts of the Micro USB port, PC recognizes connection, but gives "Unknown device" error upon connecting. Reinstalling Samsung drivers does not work at all. Tested on laptop and home PC.

-Somehow I always have to blow into the Micro USB port to create contact and to get the PC to recognize a connection. But that's about it. "Unknown device" every time.

-When I plug in wall charger, the big battery icon appears, but stays grey all the time and after half a minute the phone boots, starting the bootloop.

Could it be that my Micro USB port is broken?

Any solution for this?

Thanks in advance!

I feel so stupid for recovering that nandroid backup. Otherwise my phone would still be working...

Tested this morning with someone else's cable, still the same issue.

Tried the Nexus driver, but still nothing. Also having troubles again to let the usb connection register. It connected after cleaning it, but now it does not seem to connect at all.

Could it be that the phone is completely busted and therefor breaks usb connection?

Haven't heard such a story yet, but is it possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcultural:
I've got it sorted out.

Since it might be helpful for others that are searching for a solution:

1. I cleaned out my Micro-USB port using micro interdental brushes and a few drops of isopropyl alcohol. It also doesn't hurt to clean the contacts of your USB cable, just to be sure.

2. Connected the phone to my PC. This time my pc recognized it as a serial gadget.

3. Disconnected the phone and installed Nexus S driver (because of ICS rom on my Galaxy S)

Next connection my device was automatically recognized as an android phone.

Odin saw my phone as well and I could flash again!

My phone is back on Team ICSSGS RC4.2. :)

Thanks everyone for helping!

Same Issue cant fix

Hey guys im glad to see others are having the same issue but i cant seem to fix mine.

Assume im an idiot and ive missed something out but ill explain my situation....

Galaxy i9000 - windows 7 32bit - put ics on it a few weeks back following a guide on youtube (had never used odin or anything like that before) got it working but now have no usb comm options in the ics settings. now when i plug the usb (when it does detect at all) it says driver havent worked - device manager shows unknown device - i try update the driver and it says the best driver is already installed.

Im completely stuck and want to revert back to gingerbread so i can use my usb functions again. If i can get odin to see my phone again ill be relieved.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
1. Welcome! Go to the Development section and check out the stock ROMs thread. Download an arabic ROM, download Odin on your computer (link in that thread), follow the steps and flash it. No root needed and it won't void your warranty.

It won't wipe your phone if it's a non-wipe ROM.

If you wan to root you can find a tutorial in the dev section. Rooting will not wipe your device.

Appart from that, remember to read A LOT before doing anything. That way you'll minimize the risk of messing things up :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SherifElmahdy:
Thanx for the quick reply..

But how to know if its a non-wipe rom or not? ?!

And if its non wipe.. Will i have all the apps contacts msgs all the same? ?!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
If it's a non-wipe it usually says so in this thread. If it's a non-wipe you won't lose anything (contacts, messages etc.).

But either way your contacts are stored on your Google account, so you can't lose them. But again, read and read some more before you decide to do anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
1.Get it Root Now + get CWM ( find it from a first link on my signature)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Well, for one, (and this kinda answers and simplifies your backup question too), with root access, you can also install a very powerful and useful tool called CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery).

CWM is essentially a modified bootloader which you can use to bypass Samsung's recovery mode to perform more advanced tasks such as flashing custom firmware, ROM's, and other binaries, etc.

Another great thing about CWM is that you can use it to perform a comprehensive backup of your entire system. Essentially, it would be like taking a snapshot of your device as it is when you perform the backup, and save it away for later use. It does create some rather large backup files (mine usually hover around the 500MB range), but it does mean that if, for whatever reason, you seriously mess something up, you can just restore to that previous state. I usually perform a CWM backup on a weekly basis, and you can always export the file to some kind of external storage for safe keeping, whether it's your external SD card, USB, or on your computer; it's totally up to you.

If you've ever used Norton Ghost to make backups of your PC, it's kinda like that, but for Android (plus the other features I touched on earlier).

Enjoy!

Gotta do this while the device is powered off. Basically, from power-off, press those three buttons, release the power button once you see the initial logo while still holding the other two buttons, and it should boot up into recovery mode (or download mode, depending on the button combination) ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Birdsfan:
I really love this phone but I think I want something larger. I know I'm taking a step back in some regards but with the talent here at XDA I'm sure there'll be a super build for the Note shortly.

I am not making a statement in one phone vs. another, I simply have larger hands and find a bigger phone more comfortable.

Anyone in the Philly area looking for the GSM version let me know.

I definitely agree with the OP. As soon as it comes to Verizon, I am abandoning the GNex. Over at the Consumer Electronics Show, I held the GNex and the Note together and honestly I am much more impressed with the build quality and the size of the Note. Definitely worth the upgrade in my opinion, especially when it gets a nice CM9 port up and running.

Easy... take off your tight spandex and get some x-large jeans.. ya know, the waist-almost-on-your-knees, wannabe gangsta type. Lots of space there. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Well, I've previously owned a GSM GNEX and sold it for a Note. Now I'm selling the Note and bought another GNEX.

The Note is 100% pocketable. People who say otherwise have never owned one. It's so thin and fits in any pocket I've ever tried. I am returning to the GNEX because I already have an Android tablet and want to toggle between ATT and TMO SIMs. I'm growing tired of ATT snapping the whip with unlimited data users (me) who use around 2 gigs. I have the 30 Tmo unlimited plan and will fall back on that with the eventual goal of dropping ATT altogether in June when my contract is up. Then I'll be a free agent and can pick from any carrier I want in the future.

That said, back on topic, the Note is a fantastic device and I've loved owning it...I just don't need it when I have an Android tablet (plus it only works on ATT).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I much rather keep the nexus because its the same screen resolution as the note but smaller and perfect size which gives higher pixel density and crispness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bakedbread:
actually the note is 1280x800 which is a tad bigger than the Nexus 1280x720 resolution, but because the Note has such a big screen, the pixel density is technically lower at around ~285 ppi

i have yet to hold a note in person, but from what i've read online the crispness/sharpness is almost identical to the nexus in terms of screen quality

i'll just keep my nexus until the galaxy S3 haha :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Yep, it's a smidge higher. The Note's screen is pretty much amazing, so zero complaints there. It works well on the large screen...I actually found myself reaching for the Note more often than my tablet or laptop. It's a joy to use, but overkill for my needs (have too many gadgets - the GNEX is a good middle-ground).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Specs are S3 for all LTE Note variants.

And you guys complain about the SGX540 with an HD screen...the Note is even higher resolution.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
I would be using a damn note if it had a pentaband radio like the Nexus :mad:

The two phone's screen size isn't even comparable. Nexus is basically a 4.3", Note is a whole inch bigger.

But the Nexus' body is really big for it's screen size, it's got a massive bezel. Comparing it side to side with the 4.5" galaxy S II, the nexus is huge - even though it has a smaller effective screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, if I was getting a Galaxy Note, and I was tempted. I'd get the International version with the Exynos and Mali 400.

Unfortunately no Android 4.0 (yet) and T-Mobile support are why I went with the Galaxy Nexus though (which it had an Exynos).
