To my knowledge ther is no option in the settings for Playstation pocket to open when you slide the controls, unlike the xperia play games launcher. Might be possible for someone to edit the pocket app to allow it but that is beyond my capabiliites. Too bad it cant be you slide the controls and a window pops up asking if you want Games launcher or Pocket app... that would be nice.

I'm gonna play around with apktool and see if I can figure it out. I'm not a dev though, but never helps to learn, right?! ^_^

Tasker could probably do it, look for it on google play.

Sorry to be off-topic, but instead of making another thread, may I ask: Is there a way to make the PSStore.apk and PSPocket.apk downloaded from playstation.com to work in more countries? I live in the Philippines but apparently, downloading games from the app seems to be unavailable in my country. Is there a way? Hack maybe? Tweak?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Yes, this is an angry rant but this needs to be done.

After this forum has to endure relentless abuse from people about certain hardware decisions surrounding Windows Phone, I find it more than mildly amusing that these 3 flagship phones:

HTC One X - 4.7" Quad Core 1.5GHz 8MP

HTC One XL - 4.7" Dual Core 1.5GHz LTE 8MP

HTC One S - 4.3" Dual Core 1.5GHz 8MP

All have one thing in common: No SD Card Slot.

And the gorgeous Sony Xperia U/P phones are using android-laughable, mere Dual Core 1GHz "old" chips in 2012.

That being said, I love the direction new Sony Mobile is going in. Eye-catching phones with reasonable specs. Nothing overboard like 4.7" Quad Core. All we hear in here is specs specs specs, yet we are seeing a regression in certain areas among specific phones in the Android world. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard someone say Windows Phone is crap because 16GB no SD card slot is not going to be enough I would be retired.

What do Windows Phones need?

CPU: Modest Dual Core CPU only for the accompanying GPU to play nice games.

Handsets: More handsets on more carriers, and more nice ones like the Lumia 800/900. Would love to see Sony get into the Windows Phone game but that will not happen until Apple starts suing them too. And hey, if the S is popular enough that may happen.

Apps: More apps.

And that is it. Because a fantastic looking phone that is stable, smooth, has great battery life, and a huge library of apps is the recipe for success.

end rant.

I don't pay any of that junk attention, it's usually always the same people anyway....they'll see a shiny, new Android phone and the first thing they do is say "see, WP doesn't have this..it's a failure..". I read something the other day that made me literally laugh out loud: they said the"Windows fanboys" would change their tune about multiple cores...if the phone already comes with it, why wouldn't it be supported!?! I have repeatedly said I own an Evo 3D and an HD7, one has a single core processor, the other, a dual core processor...guess which one is smoother?

[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Well, sometimes it is hard to ignore the junk when you read it everyday. A large part of the noise went away when bans were handed out.

But what is wrong with us all when specs matter regardless of how useable those specs are? I am beyond curious to see what battery life they 4.7" ultrasharp, ultracore phones are going to have and how people will be able to justify it.

I like my car fast, but I do not think its acceptable if I need to refuel constantly and carry around a fuel cannister in my trunk cuz the gas mileage sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
I agree, that's why I lol. ..some folks you just can't please: a person posted that you can't download mp3s over the air with WP, I said you can with the right app ( I use the full version of easyring ), they then complained that it wasn't free like Android lol...

I pretty much silenced the entire quadcore android leaks...what MS needs to do thread when I posted 2 sources stating that multi cores were coming. I know N8ter got banned and he was the biggest one, who else got banned?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Wow, N8ter got banned? I guess i been away for a while. I stopped paying attention to XDA for a while, because of him & a few others.

Ok, back on topic. Yeah, these specs do seem a little stupid, but this is even on WP7. I must say that the OEM's need to make better devices & give better choices on memory size. At least give a few versions; 8/16/32 GB. Not force everyone to one size. 16 GB is good enough for me for now, but I can see how some people could use more. 8 GB is just laughable IMO for that matter, but some people just don't need that much space I guess.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
He forgot to mention they will be available in 16 32, and I think 64 gb variations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I have to agree with this. I disappeared because of the constant Android fanfare here and the lack of action by the moderators. I had to constantly ***** about it in PM to them because they would hand out a warning to me and allow them to continue ruining the experience here.

I honestly don't think that these specs going on in the mobile world are going to last though. It's very reminiscent of the power wars with PCs a few years back. Ultimately, efficiency won out and not "omg I have 7ghz." And I think you're seeing that with Windows 8, where no new specs are required. We're seeing that with Windows Phone - where an older snapdragon feels like a newly released processor.

I'm honestly happy with my HD7, I have been since day one. The OS, the apps, and the experience has done nothing but improve every single day. With the exception of HTCs HORRIBLE driver release and bugs, it has been as solid as solid can be.

You guys know how I feel about this. I one of the big supporters of the cloud, pandora, zune pass, etc when it comes to music. While I would love a little more space, I have a boat load of music on my phone, I stream even more, and I have 7gb left after a year and a half lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Forgot? The 4.3" Samsung Focus S comes in 16/32GB options as well in the same phone. The HTC One S 4.3" is 16GB. So I need to get a 4.7" phone in order to enjoy 32GB if I want an HTC One? Maybe that will change but as far as I see there are no variations.

But to be balanced I agree phones should come in 16/32GB variations. The Cloud is not a good answer for why only 8GB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 1unu1:
This is hilarious!

It takes android phones 4 cores to get near the smooth experience windows phone offers with only one core.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Since this General forum is so quiet recently,proves that the reason I remained silence is correct due to the typical WP7 fans like above?

if bashing android like you said making you happy,then just do it.

just want to say single core android can run as smooth as WP7 when it only build to run easy stuffs like on WP7.

Will back to my silent state again...think and experience always make you better....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
I think the forum is generally silent because you don't spend time tinkering with WP, it works. My point (and I think the Op's) is that having multiple cores on a cellphone doesn't guarantee a speedy user experience. No matter how much we go back and forth, some people can't accept that there are a select few that actually enjoy their phones without worrying what the other guys are doing :).

Sent from The ACSyndicate Tower using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
[Windows Phone 7 General] thebobp:
I'm not sure the op had a point. It just seemed like the loling about certain new android phones having undesirable attributes. It seemed more about the sd card than the cores, anyway.

If I understand correctly, SD cards are being designed this way so that both system and user memory are combined into one; that way, there's no longer a hard system app limit, aside from of course the SD capacity. (I could be completely off.)

But all in all, what's the point of a thread on this? If you consider lack of SD card to be a dealbreaker like the people in the OP supposedly did, then yes, you won't be buying the One X. So what? Buy something else. Perhaps if there'd been a system change that made Android no longer support SD cards, then it'd be amusingly ironic. But you're talking about 3 phones here..
[Windows Phone 7 General] xHausx:
Not really anything new since the past two nexus phones haven't had SD slots, but it's definitely not going to help HTC with sales. Personally, I won't even consider buying a phone unless it has expandable storage. I passed on the Palm Pre back in the day for that very reason even though at the time it was the nicest phone Sprint had and I was stuck with a three year old Sanyo dumbphone.

It's a shame OEMs are following in Apple's footsteps with regard to non-expandable storage (unless you buy a whole new device for more money) and none removable batteries.

Not really on topic to this fora, but this being XDA we should at least try to keep information on here accurate.

It's a very common misconception that hardware will be able to fix Android's stuttering when it's a software issue. It comes down to the fact that Google hasn't optimized the Linux kernel for Mobile Devices instead of PCs. It doesn't give priority to the UI with CPU usage, so if something else wants CPU time the UI performance will suffer. Not to mention a thread can only run on one CPU so the other cores would just sit idle regardless. Hardware rendering has also always been available, but due to it's overhead there are times when it can actually hinder performance.

The article below deals primarily with Android, but the underlying issues apply to pretty much all operating systems.

[Windows Phone 7 General] prohibido_por_la_ley:
what he's trying to say is that all the Android fanboys come in here and poke fun at and chant failure to all the WP phones that don't have removable storage and that now has come back at them with the newer android phones not having removable storage where as the WP8 phones will.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thebobp:
Three new android phones don't have removable storage, yes, I get that. So what? There are so many other new devices that, if an android fanboy don't want the One X, he don't have to get it. Saying "haha you can't get these particular devices" isn't actually saying anything, when the dissers have a varied enough ecosystem to draw upon. Maybe if they were all HTC fans (but HTC isn't even the #1 seller anymore, so..)
[Windows Phone 7 General] theeStig:
I am perfectly fine if an android phone doesn't have a SD card slot. Those are on the big side of the big-small continuum. I don't think I would want a phone without a micro SD card slot unless it was a cheap and small phone. Even then, I don't know if I would do one without a micro SD card slot. Of it is cheap, the it probably won't have much in the way of storage space.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Wow... i haven't paid any attention to that guy for awhile!

But yeah... OEM is thinking that customer will not need more than 16GB of data which is wrong. And they are thinking that people would not want laggy performance, so they don't use the SD Card to prevent this.

That is what i think.

But, the problem with this, i have said many times , that people will never know that Windows Phone run smoother in One Core only, they will still believe in the number and the mouth of the representative. "2 Cores will be better than 1, 2 is bigger than 1" .

Same Sh!t, Different Day. (S.S.D.D)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Same reason I stopped posting in here.

I'm on single core and having a extremely smooth experience.

Its also extremely annoying not having removable storage as Nicksi pointed out. That and the non removable batteries are big issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adolfo778:
What windows needs is more apps Had a windows phone for a while so many of the apps arent updated (like angry birds)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I do not want to be combative but I would like to make a few points and be as diplomatic as I can:

I thought I was clear about where my post came from. Windows Phone has been bashed due to a lack of expandable memory. HTC phones are very popular on XDA. I would argue the most popular at one point in time. So it seems to me a little amusing that the same people that probably like HTC would have to face a decision where their new flagship phones do not carry SD card slots. This is not an Android bash.

I do not get the silence thing. But I will move on because I have nothing good to say about it.

And defining this section by the crazy rants of the few is foolish. So am I supposed to say the Android sections are trash because there are also foolish fanboys there too? No. Obviously Android does not need 4+1 cores to be smooth. On the flip side, clearly not all Android phones are smooth. So for every stock Galaxy/Google phone you can find that is smooth, there are tons that are not.

The average Windows Phone is operates more fluidly than the average Android phone. There are very few Android phones of equal specs that are smooth like iOS or even Windows Phones. That was not my point in this thread but i got derailed.

Vet - I got a used Nexus S from the marketplace here. Should be fun ;) I like Android. I like my dog. But sometimes my dog does not act right (knocks over the garbage can, pees on the driveway).
[Windows Phone 7 General] thebobp:
I would question your reasoning about HTC's current popularity, as opposed to their 2010 popularity.

But more to the point, people face decisions all the time. Maybe this phone isn't good enough. Maybe it has an undesirable UI. Maybe it even doesn't have an sd slot. How is this in any way funny? "Haha, now you have to make a choice!" hardly seems the most ironic of matters.

Now, if it were, in fact, "haha future versions of android will no longer support sd cards", or even "haha all high-end androids will no longer support SD cards" then I could see the delicious irony. But with this, no. This just seems a pointless observation to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I did say HTC was the most popular at some point in time. I do not know when Samsung took over but we agree at some point. Like maybe around the same point Windows Phone came out if you see the dots connecting.

Explaining this is becoming difficult and I am not sure why.

"Windows Phone sucks because there is no SD card slot. Android rocks. HTC rocks."

(year later)

HTC Announces 3 flagship Android phones that will not have an SD card slot.

So does that make HTC a little less cool?

I have a question for you - why did HTC do this? Have any theories?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ I guess they're going for the thinnest. Who knows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Would make sense for the crazy thin HTC One S @ 7.8mm but the X/XL are 9.3mm.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thebobp:
That's still thin by HTC standards, so it's not impossible. Or maybe they just caught the Apple bug.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Htc probably removed the sd card for the same reason Windows phone doesn't use them. They are slower then the onboard memory. People were loading apps to them and wondering why there phones were slow or crashing. On 1st gen windows phones we could get away with it if you used the fastest sd's of that time. 2nd gen phones however are even faster. Also i think if i remember right (don't quote me) sd cards also drained more power when used.

Granted for music and non hd video they are still fine but for apps i think they could be a very big issue.

Hi Guys,

Havnt been around for a time like a lot on this thread, same reasons but good to see a few familiar faces all the same :)

I just wanted to mention something i read on the Register the other day concerning the release of WP8 and the running of an android O/S on a WP8/W8 core, from what i read it seems that an open boot loader is coming to us all again (we may all have to get along eventually after all hehe)

Anyway i have no source.....sorry, and very little time to write this comment but would be interested to know what you all think.

Kindest Regards,

Funny thing about SD cards. I want to be able to use them, but still have yet to have a need.

I am currently using an iPhone 4S that work provides with 8GB of storage.

I use my LG Quantum (8 GB) with no SIM card to take videos while snow boarding. If I wreck a phone, I don't want it to be something I have to tell my boss about.

I sync most of my current music to both phones. I still have not deleted any of the videos that I have taken.

8 GB is twice as much storage than I had when I was using my Tilt 2 just last year. Even so, I would like the option to be able to increase my storage without purchasing a new phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] flyingdreamz:
I do believe using my focus with a 16GB SD uses more battery then it uses with out it, at least thats what Singularity0821 Battery Status App shows. I have about >5% faster battery drain with the SD card in then I do with out it in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girn:
So I'm rooting my friends phone for him and planning to install villianrom.

So far ive rooted via zerg exploit.. All went well, after I downloaded ROM manager and install clock work recovery for "Samsung galaxy S 2". Rebooted into recovery and it took me into stock Android recovery, which of course means clockwork didn't install..

I've been doing some reading and it seems tho ppl install the tweaked kernel with root and recovery pre applied.. If there no way around going that route? I mean the phone is already rooted, can't I install clockwork some other way.

Also if I dont have any choice and have to go through the flashing pre rooted clockwork kernel through Odin. Suppose I install a ROM with a custom speed kernel, will I loose root and clock work since it's pre applied to the stockish kernel I flashed from Odin?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Original = built from sources. i.e. CyanogenMod for an example of a ROM, or Siyah for a kernel.

Regular = derivative from something else, i.e. many ROMs out there are usually derived from stock, with themes and such.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wezza1979:
Just apply cf root specific to your phone base and flash it in the PDA section of Odin, it will re root your phone with cwm recovery, then place the villain from or from of your choice in the root of your SD card and flash it with cwm, any problems let me know

Silly question maybe. On my previous phones remote it used to work like this:

they have the digitizers on ebay now

I ordered a replacement digitizer on ebay about 3 weeks ago. They ship free from Hong Kong and the sellers all say that it takes at least 3 weeks for delivery. More sellers are there now with the digitizers. I cannot find a teardown video anywhere. Also, some repair shops fix the old p1000 but not the tab plus.

You definately want the tools to come with the replacement digitizer. I'll give it a shot blindly if I don't find directions and post how it comes out.... hopefully from this device!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rp518dan:
i fixed cracked glass yesterday

The directions for the p1000 screen teardown pretty much worked. I used a hairdryer an an exacto knife to separate the digitize from the lcd. This was tricky. Of course you know to always push the knife away from you lest you cut your wrist.

An eyeglass cleaning towel worked to clear off the lcd. I didn't want to risk any solutions on it.

Prices on digitizers are dropping on ebay. I paid 75 for the kit and it is about $10 cheaper. Shipping does take long!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] didujo:

Check out my thread on the same topic. I replaced my glass a while ago. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1790232
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rp518dan:
Ebay has digitizers

You just need to make sure you are getting the correct digitizer from a well rated seller. It's an easy ebay search. Also, you need the tool kit. The concept is to slide the tool around the space between the glass and case to release the catches. YouTube has lots of videos on the topic. It was a while ago when I did mine and used the T1000 directions. There may be a video with the 7 plus by now.

Using a hair dryer to heat the glass is critical. It softens the adhesive and makes it less dangerous. An exacto knife, glass and lots of force is asking for a trip to the emergency room. Let the heat do its job and always work the knige AWAY from your body while supporting the assembly on a firm surface.

Taking your time is crucial. The job's not that hard as long as you stay organized and don't force it.

By any chance, has anybody purchased a digitizer that doesn't have the Samsung logo on it? I'm kicking around the idea of replacing the digitizer to give my tablet a cleaner look on the front.
