[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
The two batteries are identical in size & function.

But the Skyrocket & T989 battery covers are very different. So while this Nexus battery is too large to allow the T989 battery-cover to fit over it, it could be worse or better for the Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Firedcylinder:
The skyrocket is definitely thinner than the 989. My bro has the 989 and I tried my skyrocket otterbox on it and it wouldn't close all the way. Just thinking the battery cover would definitely not fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] agafed:
If the cover doesn't fit, people who has a case, may leave it like without the cover...

Although, I wouldn't do that. I'll prefer to look for a battery that fits perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guapinoy:
It sure does fit! Really snug and a slight lift on the sides. But the battery cover snaps on fine. Great 25 dollar investment. I'll post some pics in a bit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] f308gt4:
Thanks. I just ordered one for my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
I just got back from the verizon suite to try it. the right side of my cover closed fine but although the left side would close, you could see

The battery poking through the thin plastic cover and the left side kept popping open.

Also noticeably heavier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guapinoy:
I snapped the battery case bottom, top, left, then right. (Reminds me of the Contra code) The left side is shut but it bulges out a bit like the picture. I have a case on it so it doesn't matter. But I guess if you run it naked, then it might matter to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] babalonius508:
Just got mine. It is a bit snug but fits just fine. I got it off Amazon for $25. Great investment!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scythe024:
battery life before and after battery switch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] moose350:
Thanks for this. Going to go pick one up tomorrow from verizon. I can get a solid 12 hours minimum from the stock SR battery. the extra juice should help it tremendously.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] moose350:
Picked up a battery today. Will report back after tomorrows full battery cycle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] f308gt4:
Thanks, let us know. I'm guessing it should probably make around a ~15% difference, so 12 hours x 0.15 = about an extra 1.8 hours.

I ordered one from Amazon, but it looks like I won't get it until next week. Should have just stopped by a Verizon store...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
You can buy it then return it when you receive the one from amazon...I've done it with AT&T :P

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] guapinoy:
Can't comment on battery life. the extended battery is the only battery I've used on my new skyrocket. I do suggest people buy it at the Verizon store. Just because you get a one year warranty if you buy it there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blue1173:
Just got Verizons Standard Nexus Battery for $21. Works for me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
What is the mah difference again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Why did you buy it? The standard Nexus battery has less capacity than the Skyrocket battery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Hi today I got some time to unpack Xperia S system image. So I got a hold of apps and widgets. This is for Gingerbread ROM not sure if works with ICS ROM.

New Timescale, Clock Widgets, On / Off switch widgets, Home Launcher and Music Player with Widget (a little buggy), Boot animation.

Download

Mirror MediaFire

Make a backup ROM before you proceed

Flash it through Recovery

Thanks to the_laser for Xperia S image

Thanks to datagubben for Music Player
[Xperia Arc Android Development] auni:
Well these widgets/apps including the home launcher leaked 10-12 days ago, i guess. So using since then.

Thanks btw.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
What is buggy about the music player? Any chance of adding the new weather widget?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
It might crash sometimes.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arash86:
can i use it on ICS roms?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sminki:
Same here, but i guess this makes it easier for people who are not comfortable moving system files and changing permissions, so thanks ShyamSasi on behalf of those ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Nope .. Just tested it's keep crashing. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks! I know there is a system dump but didn't know if it was posted. Today I found out there was a Xperia S section for XDA :D

Thanks for sharing..

Do I need to install another package for "clear bass"? That section is empty in my enhancer.

===========

Update: after re-installing using recovery, everything worked !!! Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
If I use the new Timescape widgets and tap on a Twitter post I get a FC. I fixed it by installing TwitterPostViewer.apk (found in another thread) into /system/app.

Also, you should include the FBLike apk so you can 'Like' a music track. It only works if FB Inside Xperia is enabled.

Thanks again for this useful mod. It beats having to install lots of different packages to get this functionality.

One last thing - I don't have a 'Rock' setting in the equalizer. Anyone else seeing this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
I don't have Rock, Bass Boost, etc. And every time I open Equalizer, the Clear Bass slider goes to -15.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vcwt:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
Try clearing the data for the Sound Enhancement app in Apps -> Manage -> All and see if this fixes it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Clearing data doesn't help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BinaryXeroMedia:
Thank you. You are a star. Also use thebox as we get 50GB free ;)

EDIT: Also because we have the application too it will be better to DL straight to device in case people aren't near a PC and don't like using web pages ;)

Just a thought ;)

I have the music player on my arc s stock Rom and kernel and everything works perfect. Just about to try on my play and ray and see how it goes. If you are on a stock Rom you may be missing some files or the frameworkres.apk may have edits. Maybe try replacing with stock framework that might help if you are in a custom rom. Also this DOES NOT WORK on ICS beta ROM. These are for GB only. (to everyone just in case they don't know ;))

Is anyone working on an ICS OC kernel? I miss being able to run at 1.4 GHz compared to the stock 1 GHz. ICS seems like it lags a lot more than the HC ROMS I was using, that may be because it's running 400 MHz slower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Hi everyone! Quick question for you....

If you are staying with the same rom and kernel setup, is it OK to restore system settings??? I've read numerous times that is advised NOT to do the system settings backup, but am unsure if it applies to my situation......

Thanks kindly!

M
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its never advised to restore system data as a general rule.

If you're on a custom ROM and simply updating to a new version of that ROM, you don't necessarily have to wipe before installing... you should be able to flash right over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Also... if you're switching between roms, it's generally advised not to restore app data as it's been seen to cause FCs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Thanks guys for both of your

input! Very much appreciated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
I've generally never had a problem with USER app data, sometimes even cross-platform. That said the above is correct, it CAN cause issues, just something to keep in mind as you're restoring apps/data. Think what can I live without, what do I absolutely need, depending on the app, can its data be exported to an innocuous form that can be imported without issue, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ltredbeard:
i do all three quite often...even when switching roms (i use my backup root and back up all three separately in the order system data, app data, and apps then restore in the reverse order).

just remember if you start having problems begin with clearing app data and move from there.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dexter41:
Hi. I have been having this problem for some time now. When I install any firmware based on gingerbread, my keypad behaves strange: the space bar doesn't always work, works only about 50% of the time. It does this only if the phone is rotated to the left. when I hold the phone straight up, the keyboard works just fine, and it even works fine when I rotate it to the right. When I install any official firmware based on froyo, the issue is gone. Even when I use the unofficial Cyanogenmod 7.2 the keyboard annoys the hell out of me. I have tried some official firmwares based on gingerbread and all of them had this issue. It is like if the few millimeters on the left side of my phone were not touch sensitive... I did many formats etc. and nothing helped (only installing 2.2.1 fixed it). Anyone had the same issue? Or knows of any solution?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Maybe calibrating sensors ??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
I think I have the same issue with CM 7.2 (dunno about 2.3.x, I was on 2.2.1 before going to CM7.2). For now I just use SwiftKeys and type in portrait mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dexter41:
Can I calibrate the touch sensor somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] screechh:
i had the same problem + the " . " key didn't work

the solution for me, as strange it may sound, was to (re)install gapps. the only version that worked was this one

if you run out of options, feel free to try it.

ps: must flash it in cwm recovery mode
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dexter41:
I tried the google apps but still nothing. Any other advice? I downgraded the FW - I'm currently using the official S5660XXKC5 (2.2.1 Froyo) and the keypad works flawlessly. That's really weird. Why is it broken only in gingerbread? Well I don't know why I should use gingerbread anyway, because my experience is that it eats more RAM, ROM and battery, but you know, I would like to find out what's causing this idiotic keypad behavior...
[General Questions and Answers] lucrus73:
Hello *,

a customer asked me to develop an app for Android tablets that should use an external USB webcam (UVC). The app should target any consumer tablet that has a USB Host interface and MUST NOT require rooting.

According to API level 12 docs or Android 3.1, it is possible to use any external USB device.

Until here is theory. Is it actually possible, in practice, and how hard can it be to write java code that implements a UVC driver in user space? The UVC standard documents are hundreds pages long and I fail to understand how much of that specs need to be implemented on the host side, and how much is eventually already implemented in the Android Linux kernels.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhatWhatInTheButt:
DON'T COMMENT, UNLESS YOU HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM! CAN'T BE DONE, IS NOT AN ANSWER

I'm using the latest miniCM7 on my X8, and Xperia ActiveLauncher on top. With all my apps installed, I'm getting between 99-111MB of free RAM, which is good, since during listening to Xiaa while reading on Aldiko, and researching on the browser, I hardly get any performance losses.

The ONLY problem I have is that ActiveLauncher doesn't have any bubble notifications for missed sms/calls.

So, I turn to the professionals for help!

Does anyone (DEVELOPER not NOOB) know how to insert appropriate code into 'ActiveLauncher', miniCM7, OR modify the 'ADW Notifier', in order to get the notification bubbles to work for missed calls/sms in ActiveLauncher?

Any HELP and/or POINTERS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION will be much appreciated!

[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
I haven't seen any actual fixes just a lot of reports from people regarding their EVO 3D shutting down and requiring a battery pull to get working.

I have owned the device for two weeks. I bought the phone on eBay. The phone is a refurb (VTO 11/23/11 sticker under battery). The first week the phone ran great. Not a single issue at all, but I was using the phone nearly all the time. The last few days the newness has cooled off and I've been using it mainly for reading via the Kindle app. If I don't use the phone for any length of time (a few hours to a few minutes) it will not wake up. The phone requires a battery pull.

Currently:

Stock 2.17 - no apps, just logged into Gmail

H-Boot 1.5 - Locked, not rooted

Formatted 16GB microSD

Tried wedging paper behind battery

Made a phone call to my phone when it locked and it kept ringing like it was on but the screen never lit up/no led blinking, etc. Anyone get this resolved? If you had your phone replaced, what HW version do you have now?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
This happened to my phone two days ago too. I've had the phone for over a month now and I'm hoping it won't happen again...
[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
What hw version do you have?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
What is 'hw'?
[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
Sorry, hardware version. Menu - settings - about phone - hardware information - hardware version. Mine is 0002. I'm wondering if its hardware related.
[HTC EVO 3D] thefsfempire:
Just for the heck of it, I performed the HTC Unlock and flashed TWRP via Fastboot. I installed deck's ICS alpha7 and left it on battery overnight and so far all day today. Battery doesn't last nearly as long (assuming it's the early stage ROM) but it hasn't shut off once. Maybe it needs more time but I'm leaning to Sense being the issue which sucks because Sense 3 was my personal favorite.

Anyone else out there with this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Try steelH's rom if you prefer sense. I've been running it since day one and haven't had any issues out of it. Also I modified the hell out of it and its performance is definitely excellent as well as battery life.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cholek3:
Hi all,

Some of you know, that new Sony Xperia (2012) line phones use CTIA 3.5mm standard (basically same as Apple's iPhone). I have seen some phone reviews and noticed, that standard headset is in one piece, you cannot disconnect headphones. I am looking for headset, where you can unplug headphones and connect better ones, and of course it has to work with new Xperia S.

Something like we had with Xperia X10:

Link removed ~~bitpushr

Difference between CTIA (Xperia S) and OMTP standard:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RiotRick:
You could try something like this:

http://www.ebay.nl/itm/Griffin-GC17...uting_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item20c2f12f74
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cholek3:
Thanks for an advice.:) I checked it somewhere else and it has got rather avarage reviews, apparently cable and clip keep breaking. Do you have one, so you could confirm?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] awf:
Well it's not exactly the same but I receive this one with the pre-order and will let you know the results if interested?

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/smart-wireless-headset-pro/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Cholek3:
Yeah, why not. Not only for me, you could post something for others as well.:) I have MW600, but I am not a big fan of listening music over bluetooth.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] awf:
In the car it's convenient (not only music) and I always have a quarrel with the wire lol

I never can resist an offer when it's free lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shmoejoe:
I also have the MW600, and I preordered my Xperia S with that free bluetooth headset as well...

I'm curious if it's any better, if not I may just resell the freebie one :P I have had my MW600 for awhile, and I have yet to find better :cool:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RiotRick:
You realize the mw600 won't work right on the xperia s if you just plug it in?

Sony changed the headset standard, to be compatible with the more widely used ctia standard (same as iphone). The pins are connected differently:

You can offcourse buy an adapter cable so that it will work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shmoejoe:
you cant plug the MW600 into anything, its a stand alone bluetooth device that you can plug your headphones into. Unless you mean the headphones that might come with the Xperia, which I never use anyways.

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Ericsson-MW600-Review_id2644

So I i really don't care about the jack :) and the other bluetooth device mentioned above works in the same manner.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RiotRick:
Gotcha, thought it plugged in the phone, but is bt :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shmoejoe:
Yea, it's a really nice little gadget :) I highly recommend it if you don't like all the wires. I always have my phone in my pocket or in a case on my side, because I am horrible with dropping phones.

I was on the Sony site looking at the new BT device, and apparently it has a seperate SD card for music and such, which could be big downside to owning that device if you are like me, and keeps a rather large music collection on your phone. With the small LED it would also make it a bit hard to dig through your music collection :/

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/smart-wireless-headset-pro/specifications/

Or it can go the other way....

Putting all the music to the BT devices SD storage would free up the space on the Xperia S :/ though with that space it's not really necessary to hold back...

meh, I dunno, I will see where this goes...It's over a week til I get even the phone anyways (I need to send in for the BT device apparently) :) we'll see from there how it goes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RiotRick:
I think the new headset can play music from the phone as well. And besides that it can act as a stand-alone mp3 player with the music on the headset itself.

So you could actually stick some extra music on the headset, it can take up to 32gb sd cards (a 2gb card is in the box).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rashkae:
I agree! Though the new Sony one is looking nice, but the sound quality from my MW600 impresses me every time. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Alien987:
Have any of you compared the included headphones plug with one of the non working ones to see if they look similar or not?

I'm starting to get worried and thinking of canceling my preorder that is supposed to ship tomorrow...

Edit: Although after rethinking my question, that won't make a difference, both standards look similar... Hmm, I don't like the idea of having headaches when using different headsets...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bustervic:
They look the same. I had a buddy with a SGSII and his Samsung headphones work in the S AND he can use the sennheisers. Lame.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gunzy:
Headsets

HK being the crazy place that it is has a whole bunch of the headphones shops in the computer center, so I went around trying out a whole bunch of the headsets to see which ones work (HMV also does this too).

My testing included playing music and making phone calls and seeing if the button on the headset works.

Not an exhaustive list:

Sennheisers/Adidas are out (sucks cuz I want a pair of running ones)

Sony's are out (friggin' annoying)

Most that are iphone compatible are out

Jays One+ work (These are specific for Android) I got this pair

Marshall Minor FX work - I should have got this pair
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Don't like bluetooth headsets...

So, I'm confused. The MH1C is better or worse than the Jays One+? Especially the bass...

I bought mine, but I regret it... Better than stock headphones, but didn't surprised me... The isolation is really bad...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
The bass on my MW1a is really good. After using the headphone burn in up on the market my bass is really strong, also I don't get ANY problems with isolation. The headphones are made from metal and the cords are very well insulated. The driver is bigger than the MH1C though so in theory the bass should be better.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
What you can say comparing the Jays One+ and the MH1C? I don't like bluetooth headphones. They just eat battery and I don't have place to leave it in the way I mostly use headphones.
