[G2 and Desire Z General] Igoritza:
People dont get this simple fact:

ARMv7 includes CortexA8, A9 and A15, each one putting better options for upgrade of performances.

CortexA9 enables dual core, which is not the same thing as in x86 ISA, and people usually get fooled by that in terms of understanding the phone cPU power. As I remember it correctly, Quallcom somehow "forced" the dual core setting back when ARMv6 was the shi*, on some Toshiba model.

so, to sum it up -

CortexA8 phones come in all sorts, and have weaker graphics than A9 ones, and the difference is - in price.

A8 phones: ~250 euros, all SoC makers putt out similar performances.

A9 phones: (SGS2, Sensation, Xperia S...) ~500 euros, also similar performances to one another.

are A9 REALLY that better than A8 .. ? the answer:

1. do not believe benchmarks, cause that programs are made for advertising expensive devices, not for real results

2. overclock your A8 phone, for example ours beloved Desire Z, to 1.5Ghz-1.7Ghz, and then run something wild on it: Asphalt 6, or something like that. then do the same with 500 eur phone. and tell yourself that there is an actual reason why you paid 250 euros more.

3. If Samsung putts out 6" device, that still doesnt mean it's better. I wear baggy pants, and I coludnt putt Note in my pocket. Bigger is not better.
[G2 and Desire Z General] crestofawave:
@lgoritza I agree, there's a lot of misconception regarding benchmarks - which I do not feel like going through now - but indeed, by no means should anyone trust them.

Anyway, running ShadowGun at 1,3-1,6GHz and there's zero lag. Just to give everyone an idea. :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
I just downloaded the latest PRL and i am unsure how to install it. I am running Joker's cm9 beta. Anyone know how to install? Or if anyone happened to have a flashable zip that would be nice too :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
Bump
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Flash a blur rom, update prl, flash cm9. Its there only way I know.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
Will the prl stick if i nandroid back to cm9? Or am i going to have to do a clean install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
i am curious on this as well. also what prl did you find? was it business or consumer?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
It is version 51084 and i assume it is consumer. I dont know if it is the latest but i have not updated mine since i installed CM7 back in November so anything helps.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Would prl 11115 work on our phone? Both the HTC evo and Samsung e4gt use prl 11115 as their business/corporate code. Those being 2 completely different brands of phone make the photon any different? Photon prls would be slightly different because we got to have one that supports cdma and gsm towers, it being a world phone. But if we negated the GSM portion by forcing the 11115 code which is strictly cdma would that have any long term effects for wanting to switch back to the prl code to support GSM roaming towers as well. All these codes are a way for our phones to communicate with specific cell towers. In theory wouldn't 11115 work? I don't need to roam on GSM anyone in America wouldn't because it's still locked here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Like dial *#*#4636*#*# change to "cdma only" not "cdma auto prl" then reboot and change the prl to 11115.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
Oh and use roam control from the market to force roam
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I have and am running 01115 for my prl and have seen no downside, just amazing 3g roam speeds. And yeah this is also a prl from evo. I flashed it with QPST and it will stick throughout rom flashes, if I want to go back I flash to stock ROM and update prl and am back to latest ota prl
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
What's the difference in 01115 and 11115? And besides 3G speeds. How is the signal. Do these codes improve signal quality?
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
In *theory* the only difference in the PRLs would be what towers it will see and connect to considering its just a list of which towers the phone connects to, both Sprint and Verizon. And I can't say for sure which is newer.. i *THINK* 11115 is, but can't say for sure. Ive got 01115 and its great for me and 3g roaming
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
I dont need roam control. CM9 has forced roaming built in. Could someone tell me the benefits of corporate vs consumer?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
PRL's are a list of "partnered" towers your phone can connect to within the network. The "authorized" towers list changes from time to time thus the PRL updates. Business PRL's (11115 and the like) are a subset of PRL's that regulate certain connectivity features (like data roaming) and voice service (generally better coverage).

Granted roaming is covered by Sprint service but there is some "fine print" attached to that. For example, you flash the lastest, greatest connects to the universe hacked PRL. You have voice and data everywhere you go and are so very happy til you get a notice that your roaming more than 50% of the time. It is suggested that you consider maybe switching carriers or an excessive roaming fee will be charged. But wait, your super PRL allows for voice/data everywhere, how can this be? It's the super PRL you flashed, it doesn't match the real PRL list held by the servers. So even though you could connect to every tower in the 'verse, you were technically roaming more than 50% of the time.

A real world example. Had a customer come in very upset that they were warned about excessive roaming (60% of all use was outside Sprint's network). This was verified by checking what towers the phone was connected to vs the tower database. Upon further query it turned out the customer had flashed an unofficial PRL. This resulted in the phone connecting ANY tower solely based on signal strength. The closest/strongest tower to the customers home was a local carrier that had no partnership with Sprint so the entire time they were home they were roaming. The same applies to flashing a current valid "Business PRL" to a phone that is not authorized for that type of PRL.

In short, feel free to flash whatever PRL you want but be aware that there may be unwanted results.

If interested, I will release a custom ROM just for updates like these. It will have everything stripped out that is not needed to run updates so it will be very small and fast to flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mike3.8:
I work at Radio Shack so i am very familiar with the fine print. For some reason i am the one stuck dealing with those customers. I have the "not roam control" app installed so i can see what tower i am on at any given time. If i flash a corporate prl does that mean my phone will force itself onto whatever tower is closest whether its sprint, verizon, cspire, etc?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ski21:
Can someone upload the 11115 prl and how to flash it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Search for qpst photon on xda and you'll find tutorial on how to flash the prl. As for the prl you can find on Google pretty easy, if not I can upload when get on comp later
[Motorola Photon 4G] ski21:
I found prl 11119, is that better then the 11115 or is 11115 newer. I guess I can flash them both and try them to see which is better right
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Guggsdu:
Hi!

Does anybody know a possibility to create an account on an android phone with which you can access iCalendar files (*.ics).

Such files can be created e. g. by Thunderbird. You can store them on a server and other users (or maybe the same user but from another PC) can access this file and share the appointments.

Now I'm looking for a way to access these files with my android.

Regards

[Acer Iconia A500] vprasad1:
Anybody know if the A500 is capable of using the 59.4GB formatted space on the SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 6 Memory Card?

edit: answer = Yes with setup tip provided by ojones838
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
I may be wrong but I'm fairly certain that it only supports up to 32gb microsd
[Acer Iconia A500] irishmoe:
That's strange, is there big difference between supporting 32gb and 64gb? I would have thought that when in development they would have made sure it supported the largest microsd on the market. 64gb (59) would be nice to have.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
well, i googled, thanks for making me second-guess myself. here's your answer.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/acer-iconia-a500/141186-64gb-external-microsd-card.html
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
Yep. Others here have said that it works. It just won't work with FAT due to the limits of the FS. FAT32 or NTFS will work.
[Acer Iconia A500] ojones838:
Guys,

I have used this SD card for months and it works like a champ. All I had to do was to format the SD in another device since the A500 has no provision for formatting a SD card. I formatted mine in my Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch(my first 64G SD Card went in this device anyway). Since then neither device has skipped a beat. The SD cards are expensive though. So be very careful taking them out of your device. ALWAYS unmount it or Eject it within file mgr before removing it. Also handle with care. More questions? Just ask... ;)

Update: That's right! You don't have to unmount or eject it after use in the A500. As a matter of fact there's NO option to do so... But if you use it in another device you may need to unmount or eject it.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
Just to add to the information given, a few weeks ago I bought from Woot a "Centon 64Gb Class 10" SDXC card (not micro...full size) for $55 and am using it happily with my A500. I use it with a Targus USB card reader and attach it to the full size USB port on the A500. The only snag which occurred originally was that I used "SD's" own application to format it and it would only format in "Ext", this turned out to be unreadable by the A500 but I resolved the problem by formatting the card in Windows as Fat32. This now works fine and given the size you can put on as many movies as you wish. :)

Just to add to what ojones838 said above.....Generally speaking the A500 will automatically mount external SD storage or USB storage as soon as it is plugged in (at least this is true of my ICS rom) but it's wise to "Unmount" the storage media before removing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
Just for future reference, the hardware and software limitations for size are 32GB (FAT and SDHC) and 2TB (SDXC). Nothing in-between those. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] saeba:
Just picked one of these up from eBay. Thanks for pointing these out and the details on how to format and use it on the A500 :-)!

FYI - Just ran SD Card Tester on it and it ran at 5.91MB/s Write and 9.19MB/s Read. So inline with expectations for a class 6 card.
[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@saeba.....Glad the card works for you, as I said above with that amount of usable space you can put as many movies (including large size blu-ray's) as you want. Certainly enough to keep me happy on my transatlantic flights!

Thanks for the info re the speed test, class 6 seemed to me about right.....have learn't to take maker's claims about speed with a grain of salt. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohammad saed:
Ok, there's something annoying about the andriod keyboard, that when you enter the landscape mode it show you the keyboard in a fullscreen and that keeps you away from knowing what's going on the background. And it's become a big thing when you use it for chatting alot, unlike the IPhone for example.

I tried to find any apps or any tweaks to modify the keyboard but no luck :( .

So any ideas :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgillette:
Does anyone know if you use Google voice for voicemail only, does sprint quit classifying the number as a mobile for free minutes?

Also, can you still roll your Google voice number to your cell if you use GV for voicemail?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
Integrate google voice with your sprint number. Problem solved.

Sent from a CM9 powered Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgillette:
I know calling a Google voice number isn't included in your free cell phone minutes as they don't consider GV a cell number.

Also I know you can't forward a GV number to another GV number. I use GV for business calls. Currently I can forward to my cell when I want. I am asking if I lose that ability if I use GV for voicemail.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I believe the issue is that you and your business would share outgoing messages. That is why I do not use it for my Sprint number and only for my business number. I remember reading about the minutes issue. If you get the right supervisor, they can add 3 landline phone numbers to your account which you can call for free. I forgot what it was called but it took me to calls and a supervisor and they added it to both my lines and of course put my Google Voice number in as 1 of the numbers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virgillette:
I was more concerned for all the people that call me expecting that they are calling my cell and getting a free call. I think I will just leave VM with sprint. Thanks for the info.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes that is a Google issue and how they are listed on each carriers' servers. I am not sure who would be responsible to fix that. I would guess Google. It needs to detect the type of device it is forwarding to and broadcast that properly to the carrier. It may be a landline that some people use, it may not be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papichulo06:
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is rumored to be coming to Sprint on April 15 but the HTC One X is also rumored to becoming to Sprint in Q2.

The One X is better in over all performance (PCMAG)

What do you guys think? Should I wait till Q2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well Q2 starts in 10 days. So you don't have long to wait :rolleyes:

But seriously, this is a personal call. What do you think the people in the Galaxy Nexus Forum are going to tell you to get? You won't get a straight answer here lol. Same goes for the One X Forum. You have to decide whether having a Nexus is more important, or having better hardware specs is more important. Most people come to the Nexus for stock ICS and/or great hack-ability. They come here to get away from Sense. They won't want the One X to begin with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papichulo06:
You bring up very good points. I have had CM7 and now CM9-beta on the photon4g I'm using to replace my evo3d that got "lost" and I forgot how fast non-sense roms are. I miss it. I miss my Nexus One and CM on my Evo4g and Evo3d lol. I miss how smooth and fast it was and how I was able to customize everything to my liking. That's like +3 for the SGN. lol

Don't you think CM will come to the One series?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwoggon:
Barring it being impossible to do (locked bootloader), it is almost guaranteed (at some point) that CM will come to the One series of phones...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
Get One X!! ;)

Ok, jokes aside, you are not helping yourself by simply asking which phone to get. We don't know you; we don't know what you like and we don't know what you want your phone to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papichulo06:
lol, did y'all see the press release on engadget. the HTC One X might be revealed on April 4th.

I dunno, I could see myself picking the One X for processing power alone (im a bit of a heavy user) but at the same time I could see the slimness of the ICS stock on the SGN being so fast. But that won't even matter sooner or later with all these more powerful devices coming out.

I don't know.

i am bout to buy the gnote..have been reading about rooting nd custom rom..nd want to rotate homescreen..

As far as i know ther are more cons than pros to rooting..such as bricking..

But some ppl get faulty phones with bad battery life, auto shutdown, lags..over heating..

I dont know what to do..

I do think that its a great phone nd wont require rooting..as ics is coming..nd hopefully jellybean soon after that..

I just dont kno wat to do..i want advice frm some1 who reali is a 'knowitall'

thanks..

Will remember to hit thnx button for the best replies..

Nd could u guide about why should sum1 overclock a fast processor :S
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
There's no cons to rooting whatsoever, provided the user reads and follows the rooting guide in the Dev section. It's easy and trouble-free. There's been but a single instance (Angelom's ICS kernel combined with touch-recovery) of mass bricking. That kernel is out of circulation now, so nothing to fear there.

All other 'plz help, bricked' threads are created by the people who were careless and didn't read, period.

Battery life depends on what user does with their phone, IMO. If one keeps all syncing, GPS, data and whatnot on all the time, their battery will be shot on any phone.

No reason I can think of apart from bragging about benchmark results.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] begimaad:
wow duude!

Cheers like, your reply was just great!

Yeh! I just stick to Dr. Ketans guide to rootin as tis easy to understand and great. Others have so much updates and editin it becomes hard to keep track as my net provider is messed up... i get only 5-6 kbps :(

Should i actually get a custom rom, or its no use as the stock rom and ics is coming up.

Is gnote actually worth it or should i get some other phone ( N.B. i am getting the phone imported and i wont have warranty applicable after shipping it out of europe... and the sending faulty phones back from here is risky as it hardly makes it through due to customs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abagnale:
I also had some hard time thinking about buying SGN. Now I have it for 2 weeks running on stock ROM (I don't have time now for rooting $ stuff...) and I don't have any problem at all.

My advise - Go For It! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
If you follow the exact method described in the Dr. Ketans guide thread there's no risk of bricking.

At present you cannot find a power house like this in the market... Even you can make this device much more powerful upto 1.7 ghz speed... Nothing can beat this at the moment (as per my knowledge) So if you want power house like this, there's no other option than buying this beast. Definitely it worth it.

Regarding custom rom... Its good but if you wanna feel like this device is made exactly for you.. Go for a custom rom.. Its lots of fun and excitement.. You can make this to work which ever way up want..

Buy it.. And make others envy..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drachers:
One thing I will say, get a case for it straight away. The placement of the power/volume buttons make it a hard phone to use "naked". I got a rubber bumper case and used box cutters to take out the notches where the buttons are, to make them recessed to allow me to hold the phone how I prefer. Makes the whole experience much more comfy especially for gaming.

P.S. Overclocking reduces the lifespan of any device. You're trading lifespan for speed. If anything I would underclock it to give it better thermal control.

do you mean use xapdeploy.exe to install a xap?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
XapDeploy.exe can't be used on stock ROMs until we break the policy system to allow homebrew executables. This app runs under TskHost.exe, like any other executable. Using WP7 Root Tools v0.9, it should be possible to run this app on stock ROMs.

Additionally, it's an alternative to XapDeploy.exe for users of custom ROMs. It displays more info about the XAP before installing it - not enough in any way to prevent Trojan malware, but enough to stop you from accidentally installing v1.15 when you wanted 1.16.
