[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deserthi:
I looked into both of the the IE and the att. I decided I wanted the ATT version.

I like the clean look on the front with no button and also nobody has been able to speed up the IE version but the ATT model is running stable at 1.83GHz and it flys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CyberGhos:
That's not true bro if you add all kind of taxes plus your first month of service for about $50 on top. It's not 495. AT&T still sucks

Hey

I rooted the p1000 and somehow the 3G has stopped working. I am using Vodafone service provider. Can anybody help me out.

Firmware Version: 2.3.3

Please help me out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HohenHeizen:
Shortly after I updated to ICS my backlight stopped working. All other features seems to be working as intended I just am unable to view the screen except in near darkness. I've seen several posts stating to reinstall the current firmware but I have no idea how to do that. Searching has yielded me little answers.

Running a stock transformer unrooted and the like.

Has this happened to others?

Could I get some pointers in the right direction?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] beam408:
Since I have to stick with my choice for the next 2years. I want some "promise" that it will last until then...

Vivid, is still using S3, a 2011's technology which probably become "too old" already by the end of 2012.

Quad-core isnt necessary for me, a powerful dual-core like "Krait" is enough, 4.5" screen and SD slot is a must. I don't care much about battery life, since I always close to the power sources, but having more battery as reserve is better.

Is there any chance for Vivid after upgraded to ICS to boost itself? and how much is it?

Could it compete with HTC one X, XL, Huawei Ascend D quad, D1...?

These devices will ship within 2-3months and if it cost not more than 600$, i would grab one.

so, the question is...

Can Vivid still compete with other next-gen phone (One X,S, Huawei D1, Dquad....) or I should wait for those next-gen phone?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
If in the states and on at&t,htc one...not your cup of tea,no sdcard,screen is big enough,internal battery(1800mAh) I really dont see the need to upgrade if not needed,vivid is a solid device with imo more options,sdcard slot,marginal screen difference(.2 dif) a1.5 processor...ics should vamp up the vivid considerably after all the bloatware,ciq and other loggers are removed oh and hopefully the update doesnt relock the bootloader...not sure if it could but that would just blow chunks if it does....just my opinion....but ultimately its your money and your decision;):cool:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
I think the vivid could still compete with some of those newer phones if it keeps being supported. The HTC One line isn't going to have any expandable memory so thats one advantage the vivid has over those for what you need. Not to sure about the Huawei phones. I think this is their first time trying to push a more high end phone so might wanna wait till they come out and get a chance to hear some feedback on them. They do look pretty decent though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] beam408:
forgot to mention that i'm outside US and still using blessed Milestone1.

beside of extremely lacking of memory storage, it's still very useful with lastest custom rom . :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
I was honestly thinking about getting the one X but different processor for the AT&T version means that we won't be able to use the International ROMs, correct? There are great devs here in the USA, quoted company included :D, but that was one thing I really loved about having the Inspire. The development section for the DHD was huge and still is actually. I'm fairly certain I'm going to stick with the Vivid for awhile, unless my company lets me upgrade early again, like I did to get the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
wipes brown spot off psides nose...lol...we wont know till we get the devices on whats able to be used etc....;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
LOL, just calling it like I see it.

Gotcha. I just assumed the different CPUs would kill any chance of cross development on the 2 devices. I'll probably still check to see if I can upgrade or not. My company has strange policies on upgrading. I got the Captivate in Aug. 2010, upgraded to the Inspire in Feb. 2011, and was able to upgrade again to the Vivid on launch weekend. But some people have to wait a full 18 months or 2 years. I'm not complaining, I just don't understand it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
The international One X comes with 32gb of storage, now if it does indeed has all 32gb available, then the lack of external sd might not be as big of an issue. However, that is a different story for the US 16gb pos...

hahahah, give the guy a break, the WCX Illuminati series does ridiculously quick bug fixes and excellent performance, the praise is well deserved :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jh64dsb877r:
In terms of software, I don't see any reason not to keep using Vivid for awhile longer. The hardware is also powerful enough to handle most anything for the immediate future.

The top of the line phones aren't going to be that much of an upgrade at the moment, especially considering almost no mobile software is optimized for quad-core processors.

Until optimized software is released, you may actually see a performance hit on some of these upcoming quad-core phones, and there's also the power consumption issue if you're running demanding apps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Dl123:
I'm looking forward to HTC one It looks so cool.

Phone's been out almost 5 months and I'm noy bored yet. ICS coming in about a month, so it shoud be good for another 6 months, right on time for the next upgrade on my second line. By then shoud have some quadcore jelly bean, 2500mah, >4.5" goodness...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_korb:
Did OTA update to ICS on stock B90, then rooted with vipermod. Root is confirmed. Now I'm looking to backup installed apps and user data using the Asus App Backup app. Everything sets up fine, password entered. 21 apps + data selected, file named, etc. Get message that it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Pathnames are correct, folders are present, permissions seem ok. Runs for about 10 seconds, comes back with " 0 Successful " and 21 failed. Red x's by all selected apps. Any ideas?

Ultimate goal is to backup apps and data, then do a factory reset to clear cache and data from HC, maybe even do a stock recovery to ICS then set everything back up. Trying to see if this will clear up any of the annoyances that came with ICS update.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
I just ran a backup of 10 apps to test it on Revolver 4.0.0 Beta 1.31 ICS. Worked perfectly for me.

You can try going to Settings - Apps - App Backup - Force Close then Clear Data

Then try running the backup again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonwuzthere:
Just for reference it's worked great for me twice on rooted ICS (stock) from rooted HC (stock). Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hapahopi:
Where are you storing the backup, internal SD or external (microSD)? Encountered this one before until I found out that there wasn't enough space in the microSD. Suggest try to back up first on the internal SD and copy it later when it's successful. On ICS, I had done two backup and restore and all went well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_korb:
Backup path is set to internal, with a copy going to external microSD. MicroSD is 32GB and hardly anything on it, so room shouldn't be a problem. Might try without creating a copy file, and sending it over manually.

Tried that and failed again. So it would seem that it just doesn't like writing the apps and data. When I look in the Asus/App_Backup directory, it creates folders for all the apps, but then doesn't write anything to the folders. Interesting.

Are you trying to write data from a honeycomb backup onto ics? That's not going to work and even if it did would hose your ics.......

How? Do you mean that you fixed it BY flashing Revolver 4, or that you fixed it first, then flashed, then restored?

[Nokia Lumia 800] hoyoyo80:
Hi to all,

Sorry about the question. Just want some opinion and i dont mean to promote/demote android or wp7.

I have desire HD, but mine having problem with random reboot, poor battery life(after overnight charge can last 7am-2pm)...thinking on getting a phone with better batt life with heavy use on whatsapps and browsing.No gaming or other funny2 apps on android

I should have buy another better android phone but now i already having other android devices (samsung plus 7.0 and Noontec android HD player).Now thinking on getting Lumia 800,do it have a good batt life?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Some say yes, some say no. I found mine decent enough, and I used it pretty heavily.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Guru Meditation:
I did this switch about a week ago, having had a negative experience introducing my Desire HD to a marble floor at high velocity...

Basically I love the phone - the facebook/twitter integration is fantastic.

Probably worth saying though that the battery life isn't fantastic. Just about on a par with my Desire HD, though I do find the indicator to be somewhat overly cautious - 50% charge remaining looks more like 30 on the little display (reached this at 4pm today) ...

I use social sites, push gmail, spotify streaming (1hr), 10 SMS and approx 1 hr calls plus other minor stuff and generally get about 16 hours before charging. I suspect if you use it more you will get less. not a problem for me as it sits on the charger at work, but may be more relevant if you can't do that ...

The only thing I miss from my Desire HD is the Internet Sharing functionality, which is there in WP7.5, just waiting on Nokia to update it ...

The size and display are beautiful - I carry an iPad 2 for things that benefit from a larger screen, but am currently finding myself using the phone more for emails etc.

I heard a lot of negativity around the door covering the USB port, but I quite like it ....

You might want to see what happens with the Lumia 900 as well - that may have a bigger battery and better battery life (or it may not).
[Nokia Lumia 800] CervezaPorFavor:
As a Lumia 800 user, I find the switch to be very painful and counter-productive. Here are some of the issues that I have encountered:

Extremely poor battery life. I cannot stress this enough. On normal usage (non-smartphone activities), it is fine. But try using Nokia Maps for 15 minutes or so and you will see the battery drain very, very quickly. And Nokia Maps is not even close to what Google Maps can do in terms of features.

No multi-tasking. Imagine this: you are in the middle of an action game when you accidentally press the Search button. Boom! The search interface pops up. Your game? Gone.

STILL NO USB OR WIFI TETHERING/HOTSPOT!!! Aarrrggghhh!!! It's 2012, not 2002.

Over-zealous OS lockdown. No third party dialer (those on the market aren't real dialer replacements). No folders for apps. No USB mass storage (fortunately, you can enable this through a simple registry tweak).

Very expensive games (compared to iOS or Android) with generally lower quality graphics.

Having said all this, your requirements may be very different from mine. It does have a nice & responsive UI, very good social network integration, nice MS Office hub and a nice email application. Some people swear by Lumia 800. :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] BlitterTwisted:
That's a load of rubbish. Long-press the back button and the task manager appears.

I've just migrated from Android to WP7 on the Lumia and am much happier. Now I'm not messing about flashing ICS roms every week I trust my phone with my data.
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
You will definitely like the Lumia 800 if you're coming from a Desire HD (I owned and hated that phone XD) the newer models of the Lumia 800 hasn't had any problems with battery life. For whatsapp and browsing, it's fine. Gaming drains as usual. See if there's anyway to lend one. To see how battery works out for you.
[Nokia Lumia 800] hoyoyo80:
Nice point of view, yes, I don't do game on small device,even on tab I found it hard. But no tethering? How about near future,since my laptop will share internet from phone. I just want a simple phone with social n web browse.Thanks all
[Nokia Lumia 800] CervezaPorFavor:
Not all games/apps can handle that gracefully. Fusion:Sentient would simply restart the game while Wordament would reset the score (when "switched out" at certain point).

[Nokia Lumia 800] hoyoyo80:
OK.I'm convinced. One more thing, I regularly take photos during my work time. But my office desktop dont hve zune(can't install anything w/o admin permission) ..so can I access photo w/o zune or access SD card directly(I already google but can't find answer)...
[Nokia Lumia 800] sHaHiN786:
Ahhh...ok, I have another solution, when you purchase your phone, download the app Skydrive, it's Microsoft's cloud connected to your Hotmail account, so you can upload your photos there and access them through your email account, that way you don't have to install anything and it's easier for you to upload pictures to that and load them on to your phone when you get home to your PC vice-versa.

[Nokia Lumia 800] WitchMX:
Hi everybody,

I kind of in the same situation. I am currently an Android user, and I really like it, but two things bother me:

- OS Fragmentation, I hate having to install custom roms every time because the official update never comes, and manufacturers usually leave 6 months old devices forgotten.

- Another thing, I've noticed that WP usually have "less powerful" hardware than Android, there is no big race for dual or quad cores... That tells me that the OS doesn't need that much power to run smoothly.

Said that, i have a few questions. What is the expected longevity for this phone? Is it expected to receive the next OS update? and finally, what are the main drawbacks you find for the OS and are they expected to be solved in future updates?

Thanks in advance and cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] CervezaPorFavor:
Microsoft and Nokia have been doing quite well as far as OS and firmware updates are concerned. Sure there are lots of country variants for the firmware and they may not be released at the same time, but the wait is nowhere near as long as what Android users typically have to endure.

Also, OS updates seem to be quite independent of firmware updates (correct me if I'm wrong). At least this is the case for Lumia 800. So that makes it a lot easier for Microsoft to push new OS updates to WP users directly.

As for the hardware, you are correct. WP (up until now) does not really require multi-core CPU in order to run smoothly. Lumia 800 is packed with a single-core 1.4GHz processor, so it is quite a powerful phone. My only gripe is the under-powered GPU for gaming. 3D games look less appealing compared to their Android or iOS counterparts.

As for the drawbacks, I have already listed quite a few in the previous page.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Mega Maniac:
For me I think I was happier with android, but the installation of new roms was a great pleasure for me, not a drawback.

The OS runs smooth as anything on its 1.4ghz core and I never use my phone for 3d gaming so I really have no need for a faster proc.

The biggest drawback for me are the following.

-Some of the 'simplification' of the OS is mid-boggling. If you turn down the volume because its late at night, or your music is too loud expect EVERYTHING on your phone to have a lower volume, the ringtone, the alarm, the games, the notifications etc. I have been late for work 3 times now because I had dropped the volume of my alert tones late at night and I subsequently had no alarm.

-The apps are lacking but expanding all the time, sometimes I get a bit frustrated by the 'no results' when searching for a slightly more obscure app feature. Android just has everything.

-The navigation is a long way off being as good as google navigation but is decent all the same, but NO WAY POINTS (stupidity!). That being said I still think google navigation is still a way off the market leaders like tomtom.

Basically for a day to day phone and for its core features, it is excellent. But dont expect to be able to customise anything other than your home tiles (sometimes). If an OS 'feature' could be considered to confuse a simpleton then you can bet your arse it wont be there.

When I played NFS Underground an accidently pressed the Search button, when going back to the game it didn't continue. It started all over. So no not a load of rubbish. Only native apps has continue on "multi-task"

It's not only native apps, third party ones can do it, as long as they're coded for it.

I want to root my Sensation XE and whenever i use revolutionary, it says failed to get root...
[HTC Sensation] MrCheesecake:
does revolutionary run all the way through? Remember you need to install the superuser app to get root permissions, and also need busybox on there if it isn't already installed. If it is installed go in the options and check for binary updates, that has fixed problems for me in the past. Best advice though is to read thoroughly and follow every instruction from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

I don't think it is possible to actually port iOS app to Android without source code(which obviously is N/A). But there is an app called Boat Browser, which looks pretty much like Safari.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Safari uses webkit and so does the Android browser so they should render very similar. Its similar to Chrome vs Safari on the desktop, they usually render the same.

Thanks for the reply's I have done a bit of testing they render mostly the same but every now and then something odd happens. They really should release emulators for development purposes.

For CM7 we had a thread with all the known major issues (and solutions) for the most recent roms.

CM7 now is almost perfect and pretty complete. CM9 is still in alpha though and (obviously) seems to have a lot of issues.

Can someone who flashes nightlies / kangs please give a short overview what doesn't work or what does cause problems? Also stability and power issues would be interesting.

Of course there are still problems with video hardware acceleration but what about other areas which are GPU relevant like browser, games or any app that isn't just a list really? What about the sound drivers, do they work in general? does listening to music while using other apps work that also output sound (for example music + navigation or podcast + navigation)?

I think this would be very helpful to a lot of people (me included of course ;) )
