ICS is good but miui is better in my opinion.. I still use the gamepad just don't play any games that use touch pads :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deurbroucq:
I use my Xperia Play only as a gaming device. I don't use it as a phone (no sim card). I got it used super cheap. Onlive, FPse, etc.

i don't use the touchpad because i haven't game where i need it (only in mupen64 i need them, but i'm not an hardcore player)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysticales:
Do some of you still use a BT Gamepad on your XP? Was thinking of getting the onlive universal gamepad. Still having a full set of trigger buttons would be nice.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahmay:
I thougt the game pad was cool but i actully don't use it so much and actully have another android phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arefar:
That's the main reason I got it and it's great for my retro gaming needs. I use emulators mainly and only use the pads when I need to, like with Mupen64.

I can say I'm a little disappointed in the r800x model (stupid Verizon). My parents still pay my phone bill so I can't complain too much.

I'm moving to Canada this summer and I plan on getting one from whatever carrier I end up with (not CDMA though, I'm done with that mess). They are free with most contracts which makes it even tastier.

BTW any recommendations for cell carriers in Canada? PM me
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shogun00:
I'm mobile.. and I'm a gamer.. so, I bought Xplay because it's a Gaming Mobile Phone which had "gamepad" on it.. :D

If I don't use the gamepad, I would prefer Arc S or Ray than this..

I installed windows 8 nut things are not working properly. I would like to shift back to windows 7 on my Sony Vaio. But how do I restore original factory settings ? I cannot find the 'Vaio central' option in the start menu.
[Windows 8 General] tricsio:
By installing Windows 8 Dev Prev over your original operating system do you realise that without a full backup will not be able to do restore?

You can however reinstall the previous OS if a restoration disc is available to you and install all software from there.

Long way but unless you have created a dual boot.

This is not the expected reply but sorry.
[Windows 8 General] ads88:
I am not sure I understood your problem but, have you tried F11 (or F10 at some cases) while booting? Sometimes it brings up a menu to restore your built-in OS that is hidden on a special partition...

You should have installed W8 on a different partition since it is not a final version. Only final versions should be installed on other Windows, just in case to lessen the risk. I hope I helped you dude!
[Windows 8 General] efjay:
Also look for a folder called Windows.old on your hard drive, that should have your old install of Windows and will have your old data. Make sure to copy that somewhere safely before wiping the drive.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] caste:
Hi there,

After checking several tutorials and howtos I still have an unanswered question about unlocking and upgrading a Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700.

I’ve just got a Spica locked by Orange with firmware 1.5. I’m planning to first unlock and then flash it with Eclair and if possible with Gingerbread.

Unlock:

According to this guide: forum(dot)samdroid(dot)net/f28/how-spica-i5700-sim-unlock-free-4886

It seems that the Spica can be unlocked without the need of paying for an unlocking code. However, following this process requires the Spica to be rooted, so the /efs/nv_data.bin can be edited.

Rooting:

Some of the most complete guides I’ve found follow:

www(dot)addictivetips.com/mobile/root-samsung-galaxy-spica-i5700-with-leshaks-kernel

pomzung(dot)wordpress.com/2010/12/22/rooting-samsung-spica-i5700/

One of the prerequisites is that the Spica has at least the firmware 2.1. Since my version is the 1.5, I guess I need to upgrade to 2.1 before rooting, so I can minimize bricking risks.

Upgrade to 2.1:

Very good information on that can be found here:

www(dot)sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11

However one of the prerequisites is that the cell phone is unlocked.

So here is my problem, according to the prerequisites listed above I should not root because my Spica is locked, and I should not unlock because my Spica is not rooted….

My intention is to flash the device with the firmware 2.1 regardless of the locked status, then root and then unlock. However, I couldn’t find any post telling whether that will brick the device. Does anybody know if it is safe to proceed as I have described?

Thanks,

Caste
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zarko.janjetovic:
rooting, sim lock

i have the same problem, and i would like to know if anybody figure this out!?!?

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fupps:
I'll be honest - I'm new to all this rooting and ROM flashing malarky but I have worked out a few things that may help you both.

Firstly, truely bricking your device is quite hard to do, I have not bricked a single device of mine although I have messed it up and ended up with a useless phone. In all of these cases I was, in worst case scenario's, able to reflash a stock ROM via Odin. This is annoying but only in the aspect of you having to start EVERYTHING again but to be quite honest, thats what I found fun and more educational than it all going swimmingly. THE GOLDEN RULE of rooting, flashing etc. is that if you mess it up, its your responsibility and your responsibility to sort it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read these forums fully and 99% of the time there is an answer that will cure your problem.

Now to answer your query to the best of my inexperienced ability..........your starting block IS rooting your phone. Without a rooted device you are not going to flash a new ROM with any Android version! In my opinion before you even root your device, read up on how to reinstall a stock ROM, then download it along with Odin. This is your ultimate back up should you go wrong. But rooting your device is paramount to flashing a custom ROM which will use Gingerbread etc. There are plenty of great custom ROMs out there that only require root and a zip file installed on you SD - Once confident, it really is as simple as that!

Network/Sim unlocking your device is TOTALLY seperate to rooting and alot of people get them confused from what I see, rooting your device DOES NOT sim unlock your handset. A Sim unlock is possible on the i5700 with root but to be honest its easier just to get a code from a vendor on eBay for £1. If you want to do it yourself then again read up on it.

Bottom line to your question is root your device first if you want to do it all yourself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I just installed ICS and it works fine. I never expected it to work as well as it does, but now I can get down to griping about little things that I use that don't yet work ;)

Normally I use CIFS (Common Internet File System, like Samba was before) to access shares on the net. This worked fine on HoneyComb because I built my own kernel modules.

For ICS, I think the source is not yet released for the kernel. I did see that there was a tun.ko and cifs.ko for ICS over in the transformer prime section of XDA, so I tried those out but it appears the tegra 3 kernel is too different for these to work. (although I think the version is the same).

If anyone has seen or has a working cifs.ko module I'd appreciate getting ahold of it (or especially the ICS kernel source code).

Thanks -
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve574:
I don't know about cifs.ko as I don't use it, but I do use OpenVPN and found out that tun is part of ICS now, you no longer need a separate module.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
I didn't have much success with tun and cifs for my purpose which was to wirelessly access the sd card of the phone/tablet vice versa until I used the Samba app fom the market. In combination with Ghost commander and after upgrading to ICS everything was intact. Not sure if this is helpful to you or not. Just throwin it out there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Thanks both of you -

I realized that tun was there but thanks. As for cifs, I suppose the module isn't really needed except to use certain utils that rely on it, like root explorer.

I found a number of samba/cifs compatible file managers that're fine for me like ES explorer etc.

Those will be fine and I'll look forward to getting kernel source for ICS anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demod_oz:
I've just rooted my TF101 (ICS) so that I could get Junos pulse working with its ssl vpn. Doing a bit of reading I found I needed tun.ko (at least with 3.2). That automatic tun.ko installer from the market reports that tun.ko is installed (compiled into the kernel?)

I can see the tun0 created, with an IP address. But it doesn't work, not a single bit travels the tunnel interface.

I'm officially confused...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve574:
Still too few posts under this account name to be able to post links, but have you seen this thread in Dev?

xpad / cifs modules for stock kernel ICS v9.2.1.11
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demod_oz:
Thanks for that... that confirms tun.ko is built in, which doesn't help me find/fix my problem.

Will keep at it!
[XPERIA X8 General] SafiXS:
When i must wipe my Battery Stats?

Always when you Flash a new Rom or Reflash the rom you must have to wipe your Battery Stats to have the best Battery life from your Device.

How to wipe Battery Stats?

1. charging the battery FULLY

2. boot device to CWM Recovery

3. advanced/Wipe Battery Stats

4. reboot device

5. don't charge the device until the battery still turns off your device because it empty (do not drain with heavy apps like video streaming ect.)

6. now again FULLY charge without interruption

7. Have fun ^^

Hit the Thanks Button if it help!
[XPERIA X8 General] RomWiz:
Thanks :)

I have woundered why it didn't work on my phone and that was becuse i charged it while i wiped it and i didn't let it drain all the battery :)
[XPERIA X8 General] c0dex:
well...you can also wipe that in the xRecovery if you have it

the reason of wiping it is because the battery status will not be accurate.

also, if you found your battery is draining, try to wipe it, then check the running services if there are too much apps running in the background~
[XPERIA X8 General] SafiXS:
You're welcome. ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] nazz.rule:
If i wipe battery stats when my phone's battery not at 100%,is it okay..??I wipe the battery stats when i flash new rom..and until now i don't have battery drain..
[XPERIA X8 General] SafiXS:
wipe it when battery has 100% and after you flashed new rom
[XPERIA X8 General] Superuser_:
The better and easiest way is with battery calibration.apk

Download this: http://db.tt/Ohb9vGgP

And follow the instructions
[XPERIA X8 General] c0dex:
actually, it usually takes a longer time for the battery to get from 99% to 100%

the reason is... idk...

but even thought it is 99%, it takes a shorter time to consume the battery than it is charged to 100%

thats my experience
[XPERIA X8 General] c0dex:
expanding battery life... -.-?

I think thats a lie~
[XPERIA X8 General] CKKnot:
+1 Rubbish!! :D

this is a troll? if charging increase battery life, i would see my electricity bill piles up ady:D:D:D
[XPERIA X8 General] azyar:
5. don't charge the device until the battery still turns off your device because it empty (do not drain with heavy apps like video streaming ect.)

what does that mean :confused: So after fully charge > wipe battery stat > reboot... what do I do now? I'm confused here :confused: :(
[XPERIA X8 General] biozipboleh:
thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] SafiXS:
after you wipe the battery stats and reboot your device you have to wait untill your device battery is empty and the phone turned off by herself. 0% battery :D. After device turned off by herself, charge your device again to 100% without any interruption like reboot or unplug power plug.

Understand? Please excuse my english is not as well.
[XPERIA X8 General] azyar:
That's what I don't understand. After I Wipe Battery Stat and reboot the device. I'm waiting, and She's not turned off by herself :confused: but I skip Step 5. and everything works. still 73% after 2 hours ...
[XPERIA X8 General] Artful-Dodger:
@azyar

1. Charge the phone (100%)

2. Wipe battery stats

3. Reboot the phone

4. Now use the phone until the battery has gone from 100% to 0% (when the battery reaches 0%, it will turn off by itself)

5. Now charge the phone 100% again without interruptions (don't even touch it)

When battery level has reached 100% (not 99%), you may use your phone again.

I wasn't able to post a question in the development thread, so i guess i am forced to do a new topic here.

I am wondering if I should just be patient and wait for support for the iptables LOG target function to be fixed / added to the kernel, or if maybe something like this could work:

File:

kang.project-voodoo.org/f/iptables-cm7-kang.zip

Different phone, so I wouldn't run it without asking some questions first.

I'm using the 7.2.0RC0-daytona-KANG on the Droid X2.

Should I just assume this will be fixed eventually and not mess with it? Droidwall is a great little app, but the LOG function is critical to it's use.

As we all know our little samsung galaxy y is great but the ringtones and notification sounds are really low in volume.

After missing too many calls and messages i decided to edit some .ogg files and increase there volume.

I increased steppin_up and pixie_dust cause those are the sounds i use but i can increase others on request.

You can put the files on your sd-card and in settings pick them and set them as ringtone and notification tone.

Developers can use them and put the files in system/media/audio/ringtones and /notifications.

Enjoy a hearable galaxy y

[HTC ChaCha] _terror_:
Hey guys! I finally got my HTC chacha!

The only problem I have is that I have a standard EU model. So I can't choose Swedish as the phones main language. But I can live with that, that's no problem. The problem is that I wanna use HTC chacha's built in auto correction for when your writing mails and texts, but as you all can tell, it only corrects in english :P So, what can I do? I just want my Chacha to be able to correct in swedish instead of english. It would be good if the whole phone was in swedish of course, but just the auto correction would be good enoug..

CAN I install a nordic rom instead? If yes, which one is safe to use? I don't wanna pick a random android rom that works in sweden that would screw up my chacha. So a ROM for chacha that are aimed for nordic use would be great.

Please help a brother out! :)

This is a really dopey question but I'm going to ask anyway.

I got an Evo View for my mothers bday (62) and she owns a Mac mini. She just called me to ask how she can get her pics from her Mac to her Evo. I have never touched anything apple except for an iPad and an iPod.

On windows I could walk her through it blind folded standing on my head but I'm not familiar with anything iOS. I would imagine its similar to windows, just drag and drop on to the evo.

If anyone with apple and android experience could help me out that would be awesome. I'm on my way to her house now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
It is not that hard. When the flyer is plugged into the USB port it will show up on the Mac as a disk drive. All she needs to do is copy and paste, into the folder she wants them on her flyer

Steps

Plug in

Open finder on Mac

Find pictures and sellect and copy (control and mouse click sellect copy)

In finder you will see a new drive which is your flyer

Click

Go to dcim/100media

Paste (control and mouse click sellect past)

Or if she has an external sd and adapter she could load the pictures onto the sd then put the sd into her flyer

[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
is there a way to see names in incoming calls instead of numbers?

(or what is the necessary tweak)
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
If you have the number stored as a contact (with a name), then it should show when they call.

But if you want your phone to display the caller's Call Display name, I think that is something your carrier controls.

On my carrier (Rogers in Canada) I have the Call Display name enabled (which causes a little problem for me, as I am running Mexican radio - callers that have a Call Display name always show up as "Pay Phone"). I have to call Rogers to get that feature disabled.
[Motorola Droid 3] boazal:
it's 'should'........but it does not happen.....
[Motorola Droid 3] LaZiODROID:
What do you have in Settings -> Call Settings, then scroll down to Additional Settings. Do you have a caller ID option there?

yes and it's set to "Network default"
