I agree people get really mad when developers don't make their projections but an occasional statement that says something like "Yes, we acknowledge problem xyz and are working on it" or "no, you're holding it wrong, but we'll look into it, whiners" would make me a little less likely to pass on the next latest and greatest when I feel like I can expect some dependability from the party I gave my money to, not a community. I was attracted to Android because of the dev community but it is not their J.O.B. to update the firmware with the important fixes.

I expected this kind of nonsense with the original Droid (I'll go so far as to say it was the best smartphone implemented on VZW. I guess they put out something good that they supported well on accident.) If that little Droid had more power, I'd go back to it.

At some point the power curve of new smartphone device capabilities will level off and we won't be going through them like water. When that happens, who's going to be left? People aren't going to waste money on ship now patch later (or not) flashes in the pan. They do that right now because we reward them for it.

What doesn't work? It's just an API engine. An app is needed to actually leverage the engine / API.

Your right except in your scenario everyone would still be using 4.0.2 which is a useless POS. Verizon sold a phone and a service and one or both of them are not performing up to the promises made by the supplier. Verizon admits this much and has been slower in supplying the fix then they have said it would take... They admit this also.

I think the people not getting it here are the idealistic fanboys (of their mirrors image) that will not allow themselves to admit there is something wrong with ANYTHING they have purchased. Even more ironic is that they get frustrated with users of said technology that wish to discuss the situation in a DISCUSSION FORUM. I mean, the nerve of users wishing to talk about it with their peers!?!? Of course they will not just ignore a thread that irritates them, they should belittle other users thoughts and feelings... It's the way of the intertubes!

Let's all just take a deep breath, decide to get along (POLITELY) and get back to flameless conversing and supporting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is with people calling others fanboys that do not agree with them?

I would be interested seeing where Verizon admitted anything or where they are in violation of any promise made by their suppliers.

I. am on stock ICS 4.03 rooted i9023

I download the update file

To keep root, should i flash the update file and then the Superuser file without reboot in between or should i first flash the update, reboot and then the superuser file

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfin1te:
Hello everyone,

I have a rather annoying problem: I have one empty directory on my GNs "sdcard" (a leftover from dropbox) which I can't delete using root explorer/es file explorer, it just says can't be deleted (0 files inside, 0b size)

When I mount the device to a computer, I can delete the folder, but when i unmount, it's back again....

I'm rather helpless now since I can't take out the card and just format it like I would have done....

What can I do? Help would be gladly appreciated.

edit: sorry for topic, it's actually an empty folder, not a file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nfin1te:
solved it, if someone else has similar problems:

backup everything you want to keep from sdcard first.

then fastboot oem lock and then unlock again - voila, everything wiped.

as mentioned, everything on the device is wiped, so be prepared to restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nuca666:
For those who have the same problem (as I had) this old post helped.

Only note is that OEM lock was not necessary. Just flashing stock and unrooting did the trick for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaola:
Hellow everybody.

Running android revolver 3 i connect my external usb hard drive, wich is formated in ext4, and is not mounted automatically, looking at dmesg i see that the system tries to mount it as ntfs drive so it fails, but i can manually mount it through a terminal emulator.

Does anybody know how can i correct this?

I have no experience in android systems. I thought i could add a line to the fstab identifying the disk by uuid but there is no fstab, there is vold.fstab but i don't underestand so well the syntax of that file.

is there in the other way something like udev rules or something like that in android?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelofhope:
Did you ever find out how to use the vold.fstab correctly?

It might help me.

I'm trying to have a fixed mount point for some external usb disks on my mk808 (without much luck) and found my ext3 usb drive also doesn't mount automatically.
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
I have now had my X10 for 23 months.

It has been a turbulent old relationship, when I first got it I was blown away (as I'm sure most of you were with your first smart phone) A few months in when I started to get interested the Android operating system I was outraged to be left on 2.1, while phones I'd decided against were all getting 2.3! So like any self respecting technology junky I rooted with z's incredible 2.2 OS

By this time last year, after continued pressure from it's customers (me included), Sony had announced the release of 2.3 for my by now beloved X10. Joy of Joys!

When I finally got the official update I was mightly impressed it had everything that I felt Android was all about; apps2sd and flashplayer. I did try to root my phone after updating to 2.3 but the procedure was more difficult than with 2.1 and I never pulled it off. To be perfectly honest the fact that the stock OS did everything I wanted probably meant that the desire to get root access was no longer consuming my every waking minute.

23 months ago I kind of stumbled upon the Android operating system. I wanted a smartphone and everyone I met with an Iphone was a ****. I had been loyal to Sony Erricsson for my last 4-5 handsets so the X10 was the obvious choice for me. 2 years on and I'm in, it's android all the way as far as I am concerned.

I write this on my Motorola Xoom (still waiting for ICS by the way Google [tut tut]) and could never see myself with an windows phone or iproduct. I have never tried the Windows OS and dont care if I ever do. I have tried the iOS and while I admit it is an amazing bit of kit, apples attitude towards business and toward it's customers leave me cold. Coupled with the fact that anyone I've met with an iPhone has insisted in telling me aaallllll about it, I can't ever see myself locked in iPrison.

Rant over. My point is this: what now? My contract is up in 36 days and I am going to have to decide on a new handset. My loyalty to Sony Ericcson has dwindled somewhat but my loyalty to the Handset Alliance is now set in stone.

I quite like the idea of getting a Motorolla to go with my Xoom but the last Motorolla handset I owned was gash, although that was many generations ago.

I'd like to know any ex-X10ers opinions. What did you upgrade to? What would you reccomend?
[XPERIA X10 General] SillyMoose607:
Possible Options?

Hey there FormBee! I myself am a Sony junkie (thus the rather biased opinion that shall ensue) and had my X10 for little over a year now. The X10 has indeed had quite a bumps in its career (especially for AT&T customers in the States, where Ericsson denied the 2.3 update...) but when I found the world of ROMs and custom kernels, it transformed into a technological dewdrop of heaven.

Now, Sony has a rather strange history of making relatively sub-par devices when it pushes out some new line of devices. I bought a Sony VAIO laptop back in 2003-04 and it was dissapointing when I compared to it competitors. I now own another Sony VAIO laptop ('11 model) and its easy to see how far they have gotten. With phones, I feel the same way. With Sony now starting to release their NXT line of smartphones, (Xperia S/ ion...) I can only expect every good aspect of the X10 to be exemplified, whether it be hardware specs (dual core 1.5 GHz proc., 12.1 MP cam) or simply the pure aesthetics. Sony had a lot to learn from the X10 and I believe it shows in the new line of phones (though they'll all be shipping with Android 2.3 w/ ICS update in Q3 i think).If you have not checked out their new line of phones, I suggest you do!

As for Motorola, I can't really give an opinion on that since I've only owned one of their flippy-phones back in the day. However, I've some pretty good stuff from the Moto Droid Maxx: fast, easily customizable, and a rather long-lasting battery. Personally, I'm eagerly waiting for the Xperia ion (S won't be shipping here, sadly).

Just my 2 cents (or pence, what have you). Hope it helps!
[XPERIA X10 General] Olao99:
Hi, as a recommendation, I wouldn't keep a sony ericsson. I still feel i did wrong decision in buying the x10, I don't get how can it be so laggy (I've tried every solution possible since 1.6) I know it's not very powerful, but I find it laggy still with 1.6 when it's supposed to run perfectly smooth. My point is the user experience quality given by sony, is not very... Good. I think they are just producing one phone after another, without stopping and truly giving everything to one and make it flawless.
[XPERIA X10 General] kensixx:
i'm not yet giving up my X10, but..

as roaming around in this forum, i've read many threads about like x10 vs. samsung galaxy S2, and showing in their S2s and they say it totally rocks more than the x10. my friend has an S2 and tried it, maybe they're right, as compared to the x10 it's much faster and stronger, and not to mention, a latest one.

but I think

to compare an S2 to the new Xperia S, I think the new Xperia S wins. really never tried that one though.. but Sony did a good job all over these years in between gadgets, and their new product will be an A-OK as usual :D
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:

S2 is much powerful and better than Xperia s also #UMADBRO?

I think I'll go for Xperia S in a few months, love that phone, I recommend you do that too, unless you like sammy's bricks

Xperia s and x10 looks like a brick too

But that's my thinking, everyone thinks different:)
[XPERIA X10 General] marsx1984:
Dude get the xperia s and get on with your life. You knouw you want to !
[XPERIA X10 General] Bennachie:

[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
Just wait and see what SGS3 have to offer
[XPERIA X10 General] riginal:
lol are you kidding? Xperia S looks like an ugly brick? and Samsung Galaxy (the whole line) don't? then we differ greatly in our definition of the "ugly brick" expression, For me Xperia S is a nice stylish phone with more than enough great specs & performance & an awesome camera unless you want to have a ugly super fast piece of brick that you don't even have any use for that much of perf & power but to show-off your benchmark & stuff
[XPERIA X10 General] sahibunlimited:
I am not that idiot that i will write a fake tapatalk sig

and as i said everyone thinks different and i think xperia s and x10 looks like fat bricks but arc was super sexy

I know why you say samsung phones looks like bricks because they are broad...But very thin too

First many people said all samsung high and low end devices looks same but now see all xperia 2012 looks same

I just had bad experience with first sony phone and great experience with samsung phone so its not always about power(and i care a lot about development too)

If you need a proof that i have x10 then see the image
[XPERIA X10 General] negrobembon:
The Whole Samsung line looks like ugly bricks(and clones too) compared to the entire xperia line

Not even the x10 despite being fat looks ugly but with galaxies they all look ugly except for the first one(awesome performance on all of them though)

Imo the xperia line has the majority of best looking droids compared to other brands
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Ha!

You lot are no help at all! X10 an ugly brick? Have you gone mental? I can see how by todays standards it may be cumbersome but the X10 is over 2 years old, practicaly an antique as far as mobile phones go.

I am not really all that bothered about asthetics anyway. If I rated form over function I'd be on an iforum. I was kind of hoping that I'd get some discussion on processor speeds and ICS updates. 2 years ago I made the mistake of not checking first and almost ended up with a phone stuck in the doldrums of 2.1. I want to make sure this time that I get something that'll last the duration of the contract before becoming painfully outdated..

I spoke to my provider (Orange) and they were laughably uninformed, the guy thought I was joking when I asked about the Ice Cream Sandwich update! He asked what features I needed, I told him it would need to be Android and he offered me a Nokia? A Nokia for crying out loud! On the plus side they did tell me that I could have any phone I wanted free of charge, including the iPhone 5 if I'm willing to wait (my chance to ask if he was joking).

Easy root access would be a plus for me although not a necessity if the updates are quick in coming round. Thats why I was considering Motorolla what with the Google buy out and all (although still waiting for ICS on my Xoom [tut tut Google]).
[XPERIA X10 General] bretto_aus:
Dude, no matter which handset you settle on, it will definitely be outdated well before your contract expires, most handsets are lucky to last 6-12 months before the there a bigger and better one released, take itwat-phones for example there's guaranteed to be a new one released each year and even tho the brainwashed population are locked into a 2yr contract they all must have it! And if they don't crapple just push new IOS version to there old handset to lag the hell out of it so they are pretty much forced to upgrade. chumps haha

All in all i've had my X10a coming up 2 years, it was my first android device which taught me alot about android and now I wouldn't get anything but, and for what I currently use my X10 for its still very capable (with help from the brilliant devs on this site of course ;)), but yes, I would still love to upgrade to the latest tech but at the end of the day I don't desperately need too. Ive also had a XOOM but flicked it off for top dollar while i could after owning it 6 months once i heard rumours of the XOOM2.

Another thing, I do love the concept of the ASUS Padfone cause it basically covers all bases without having to buy 3 separate devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop) which could be a game changer, (answering phone calls with the stylus is pretty cool haha) but then you never hear much feedback about ASUS smartphones, even tho their tablets seem to get alot of great reviews. But Im leaning towards that myself (wanting a new phone and another tablet eventually) but If a better known phone manufacturer came to the table with something like that I would be all over it. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Of course it will be outdated at the end of the contract. Thing is though I'v had my X10 for 2 years and it only just over the last few months has started to feel outdated (and that is only because of the ICS update), but this is due to luck (Sony Ericcson relenting) rater than design (me doing some research before deciding on a handset). So I thought I would swot up so I could make an informed decision.
[XPERIA X10 General] mine420:
Most phones all have similar specs I can only think of three different types of cpu's in mobiles I guess four if you count the apple cpu. Point is find something that you think is nice looking and feels good in your had. I never buy in contract so it is harder for me to try before i buy. But if you buy inside a contract make sure that you make a call or two before you buy it that way you know if the sound is good for you. I tend to buy a phone that has good support here in xda and the sony xperia s is only released in one or four countries right now and already has a pretty good start. I am leaning towards the p4s or ascend quad. P4 I like because I want to try a phone with gorilla glass. Samsung has some nice phones out.

[XPERIA X10 General] Haldi4803:
would never buy a phone without Micro SD Slot! Sure... 64gb integraded is nice... but in 3-5 Years when you have them full, you're ****ed! with MicroSD you could buy a 128gb oder 256gb MicroSD Card!

So Xperia S and One X is out of question for me!

The Asus Padfone looks cool. Just for the reason that you don't need another Tablet, and never need to theter 3G to the Tablet. just the *only* 1520mAH battery sucks.

Looks like the Huawei Quad D ascend ( or what it was called) will not be released soon. So thats not an option.

The SGS3 will be anounced at 3. May right ? Might also be something cool.
[XPERIA X10 General] Sikiduck:
I agree with you Haldi, but what do you do if the huge sd cards get full? The same as you do when your integrated sdcard gets full, DELETE things you don't need or copy them to your conputer. :)

Oh well so much for swotting up, in the end I couldn't resist the shiny-shiny.

Not too bothered about SD storage. I don't keep that much on the handset. It's all about the cloud dontcha know.

And yes, it is awesome.

[XPERIA X10 General] baz@gmx.co.uk:
I have started considering a oneX, I would love to know how it compares to xperiaS, the specs don't always tell the full story! For me it has got to be a oneX, XperiaS or sgs3 - I know sgs3 will be more powerful but is it necessary and is it noticeable?? LoooL decisions decisions!!
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
Having tried both I'd have to say the Sony is not even close. To be fair to it, it is a really good phone but the one (not the one x but the Sony if you see what I mean) I used was not yet updated to ICS, so its difficult to compare.

As for the SGS3 I'm sure It's awesome. I might get an SGS80 when my one x contract is up :rolleyes:
