Could care less

What does ICS bring to the table, other than hardware acceleration,

probably some newer apps.

The current version of GB 2.3.6 runs on my note like greased lightning.

You know good & well when ICS is released for any device, it's going to have

some of the same growing pains that GB did when it was released.

Since my Note is my business connection device, I think I'll hold off on jumping

onto the ICS bandwagon, until I know for sure it's ROCK SOLID stable.

I don't have time dealing with bugs. Thanks to you bleeding heart types though.

If it wasn't for you, we'd never be anywhere, but, I can't afford to have the

device lock up, slow down, crash etc.

I'm a new android user and I'm looking for a way to voice chat using gtalk on my android device with other people who are using google talk on their computer.

Is this even possible. ?

Apparently even google search is not much of a help with this issue.

BTW i'm using an XPERIA Arc S

Version 2.3.4

Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62

Stock ROM. Not rooted
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baptistepaz:
There is a solution but you must root you phone before. There is a lot of tutorial on the forum to root the arc s.

Once your phone is rooted, install the recovery (it's very easy and safe): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437840

Then download the version of gtalk with audio/video enabled and install it on recovery (rebooting your phone pushing the volume touch) and selecting install a zip file: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13328944&postcount=1

Good luck!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turnaround:
Even yahoo messenger allows video/voice chat with just a plugin installation.

Is there anyway to make gtalk to allow voice chat. I don't need video. Just voice will do !:D

Rooting seems to be pretty difficult as firmware version is .62.

Also i don't wanna screw it up when ICS update is just around the corner.:D

thanks for the reply anyway but is there any alternative option:)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] j0rd4nkzf:
Hi, I have a SGW and I have really horrible battery life or at least I think so. My brightness is always at minimum and never more than a quarter of the maximum, I use my phone very often with WiFi only. I do not use 3G or GPS. However, my battery life is only around 12 hours. I think that it is bad because my friends have Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Ace, they're battery life is one full day (14 hours) on maximum brightness and I have another friend with a Galaxy Young on 1/4 brightness that can last for two days. All of my friends use WiFi to browse Facebook very often. What is the problem here?

I think I should get at least 20+ hours at minimum brightness. Also, when I checked their Battery Usage it shows that the display only uses 10% of the total but mine is never less than 50%.

Edit: I have Juice Defender Ultimate and it's not helping at all.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nemesis.sisemen:
You must have an app runing in background that its eating your battery. whqt rom do you use? i use my screen at half brightness. wifi always from 1pm to 2 am and my battery lasts atvleast a day. i was using cowwithgun, then tux rom, kezravalue pack and now im using stock value pack. the battery has normal. see whats running in background. advice in my opinion juice defender and other apps like that its worse
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] j0rd4nkzf:
I'm using Gingerbread 2.3.6 Stock Rooted. I don't think it's an application in the background, I can't find any application in "Battery Usage" that is eating my battery without me using it. What do you mean by a day, what does it say in "Battery Usage" (hours)?

It seems like it doesn't make a difference for me.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on the forums. Did searches, looked for everyone, almost tried any solution on the XDA website, but it is still the same.

I have a Flyer 3G (32gb), it had Gingerbread. Last week my 14 year old nephew was playing and he said "look your screen is white".

He tried to update it and everything went wrong. My Flyer had S-Off, unlocked GB installed, the update was the Oficial OTA. It tried to install HC and got stuck on white htc screen. When I tried to go into recovery it was gone (deleted). I tried to load with goldcard method it says main version is old. I tried flyer downgrader method (thanks to Globatron) but when I try to flash the downgrader it says failed. I managed to install CWM but after that couldn't install anything. I tried to re-lock it and RUU but it said my RUU is not acceptable.

Revolutionary doesn't work can't S-OFF.

Now I have an unlocked flyer, with S-ON, hboot version:1.11.0003, radio :3809.07.04.06_M

Try looking in that thread's "Sense-based" section. However, the newest Gingerbread (3.5) version of Sense in a ROM is with this one. However, that's not even close to final (as far as I know), so, if you want something more stable, try a Sense 2.x ROM.

Hi!

I have tryed following manual http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-rooted-transformer-prime/

There is also one paid app and one for free on the Market. I have not tried paid one, but the one for free didnt work (Linux installer)

Which lets you run Ubuntu on NST and it look that it works properly in the shell.

*However when one starts vncserver for gnome x11 it has some problems. One gets only blank desktop with only cursor on it.

-If someone with experience managed to install some really simple X11 on this Ubuntu image, I think that it could also run quite ok!

-Since vnc for android supports "DPAD to mouse cursor" one could also get support for USB - mouse and of course keyboard!

btw. I got Win95 running quite OK using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692682 However i dont see much of a use for it :) and it does not support DPAD - Mouse. There is another thead that says that you can run Win95 much faster if you use Bos Box Turbo - paid app

UPDATE 06.04.12: I am RUNNING UBUNTU, LXDE X11 + USB MOUSE, USB KEYBOARD on NOOK SIMPLE TOUCH

* you can find everything needed on

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24517053

just down. and unpack files into sdcard/ubuntu/ and run from ConnectBot "sh sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.sh" some extra settings is needed to set up good VNC server.

* current issues:

- graphical iterface is very lagy - slow. It should be possible to install Ratpoison or Awesome desktop. Since Nook is only black/white VNC conneciton should be simplified. And there is no need for so much icons/pictures in the interface. Also much lighter distros ARM ports are comming up - Puppy linux and so on.

- USB mouse to DPAD which does android VNC need settings for inverting and sensitivity.

i dont know exactly whats happened here, but i've tried to get my WFS sorted with a different rom than the carriers bloated version.

what i've done is updated hboot to 1.08.0099 and unlocked the boot loader sucessfully (hboot has *** UNLOCKED *** across the top; i used the HTCDEV.com process).

i believe i've got permanent root too.

when i attempt to flash CWM (via PG76IMG.zip), it appears to flash ok, but if i reboot the phone and try to access recovery, it just gets stuck on a white HTC screen.

i've redownloaded the CWM file to see if it's a corrupt download, but still the same problem.

CWM isnt a big issue, although it is nice to have.

however i also am unable to flash another rom either via the PG76IMG.zip SD method, or RUU.

i beleive i've done everything right, and i'm not entirely new to unlocking/rooting devices; only did my HTC Desire last week so the general process is still new in my head.
