Finally got my AM order today. Phone is made in Taiwan, seems like there is no physical issues (creaking/chips/marks). Phone isn't on yet as I believe I should fully charge it before turning it on? Yeah?
[HTC One X] colin2712:
I just picked my One X up yesterday on a good deal from T-Mobile as my contract was eligable for upgrade.

I switched over to the full monty plan @ £36 for 24 months

2000 X Minutes

Unlimited T-Mobile Minutes

Unlimited Texts

Unlimited Data

Didn't cost me a penny to change my price plan over, when I was fully expecting to pay a minimum of £50 to change.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Seems to be the general consensus to do that. Bet you can't wait....after changing your order which would have given you the phone last week!;)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Yeah I've actually noticed since HTC themselves tell you to fully charge before using on the leaflets in the phone box.

I would rather of avoided the hassle I had with AM, but at the same time in that week the development scene picked up a little - Plus I now have unlimited data, I really wanted/needed that to use with Google Music :)

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Finally went green on charging, so I turned it on.... my god.... the screen. I've come from an HTC Desire.

THE SCREEN.

It's simply breathtaking on first boot.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
+1, same as that, had Desire for almost 2 years, and was gobsmacked when i first turned the X on.

Enjoy.:D

I'd say by about 9 or 10pm tonight you will have used your first charge.:D
[HTC One X] tinytom21:
So I've bought 2 phones from mobiles.co.uk and 1 from buymobilephones.net. ( Touch HD - Desire - One X ) They will help you transfer you number across if you want and after you have bought and received your phone you never have to deal with them again apart from claiming any cash back or half price months that you got with your deal.

As far as your carrier is concerned you are just another customer so all tech support goes through them.

The only disadvantage that I have found was on my previous contract (desire on T-Mobile) it advertised unlimited data. It was cheap so I should have checked it out but the data WAS unlimited but capped at 300kbs. This would not have happened had I gone direct through T-Mobile but would have been significantly more expensive. If you are going for unlimited anything then maybe ring your carrier first and see if they know of any catches. Also try and bargain with them to get that £50 off.
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
They still make a huge profit its just that most networks are greedy tbh.As they sell cheaper they hope to get more custom which equals more cash. Plus these other companies push insurance a lot more and accessories swell.
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Mine arrived today. Got it direct from Vodafone for £26 a month for 24 months (300 mins, unlimited texts and 500MB) and the phone for £70. Not too disappointed in that especially as it includes the urbeats earphones which I can sell on ebay for £40-50.

So all in all it costs about £650. Not as good as some of the deals on here but I can't really complain.

T-Mobile Upgrades?

Anyone know if T-Mobile UK upgrades are getting Beats earpuds, my sennheiser earbuds just broke on holiday?

T-Mobile UK have offered me the HOX for £60 if I renew my current contract for 18 months which I'll probably take or I might haggle with retentions but I'd prefer to stick with 18 months as LTE should be rolled out by then.

Current contract is £30/month, 900 mins, 3gb data, 500 txts and unlimited landlines (flex booster).

There doesn't seem much better around on 18 months.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I upgraded via t mobile retentions when I asked for my Pac code.I wanted the white phone which they didn't have so they got one for me via chitter chatter.

Free phone on a 18 month contract for £35 per month

I get unlimited internet for emails,facebook web browsing and then a 3 gig file download on top for the.likes of YouTube etc.Instead of minutes and texts I got a month spend allowance of £180 to spend on calls texts,picture messaging even 08 numbers it up to me how I use it .10 days in I have £147 of the allowance left so more than enough.I spoke to Joanne in retentions and she was excellent.

And as the phone was from chitter chatter its unlocked and has no branding at all on it hardware or software
[HTC One X] Tob3z:
It will be interesting to see what T-Mobile offer me for retentions.

I'm paying about £23 a month for 900 minutes, 500 texts and 3gb internet. I don't use more than 100 minutes but I do go over my texts so I want to change that. Also want the One X for free. I'm happy to pay a bit towards the phone if they will do it on 18 months rather than 24. But I really do want to go for texts rather than minutes. Bet they wont offer it though :(

Will find out next month when I "cancel". Everywhere else is telling me if I change contracts I will have to go to a £35+. Pfft I don't think so.

I was going to upgrade online to the deal below.

£36/mo for 12months

600mins

500mb data

unlimited texts (i think, dont really care about texts ;) )

£190 Handset

I decided to call them to see if they could improve on this offer and the first guy I spoke to offered me.

£31/mo (was £36/mo but would reduce it by £5) for 12months

3000 minutes

1gb data

unlimited texts

£190

I wanted to go ahead but they only had white HTC One Xs.

Anyway, we hang up and he agreed to call back in a few days time.

I got impatient and decided to go with the white version so I called back, 4 or 5 times wanting to go ahead.... each time I was told no one could do that deal. Pretty frustrated with this I asked for my PAC.

Jump forward two days worth of missed calls from Vodafone (I cant answer calls in work) I speak to their retentions team. I tell them my frustrations and he said he'll see what he can do...

£31/month for 12months

3000 minutes

1gb data

unlimited texts

£75 for the handset! :eek: and in grey! (He did try putting it through as free but it wouldn't allow him :( )

Yes please! :D

Well chuffed, and the phone is amazing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GeneralSky2004:
I'm looking for the best way to do this, so I figured you guys would be able to throw some ideas around. Basically, I'm looking for a way to transmit audio to my car stereo, wireless. I currently use an audio cord (3.5 to 3.5) and just have the cord running through my car. It would be awesome to have it all be completely wireless, but I'm not sure what the best route would be to do this and still maintain the sound quality of the cord. I've used the FM transmitters in the past, but they always seem to be a hit and miss. Is there anything else I can use to do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Invest in a unit with bluetooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ramik911:
I use the Belkin CarAudio Connect AUX with Bluetooth: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=525857

The phone can stay in my pocket and when I press the button on the Belkin it connects to the phone and starts my music.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aktruong:
I have an aux port and i just connect it to this BluBridge MiniJack and it works great. You can't really notice much change in sound quality. My car's factory bluetooth for the phone still works too. Both can be connected at one time without any interference.

http://www.amazon.com/Miccus-BluBri...A11U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333589281&sr=8-1

It's pretty like the Belkin one above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
For those of us without fancy cars with built in Bluetooth...

$5 fm transmitter from the Family Dollar works great for me. I never have any problems as long as the transmitter is with 10 feet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GeneralSky2004:
I really like that Belkin one, but it's more expensive obviously. Does the second one run on batteries or the cigarette lighter?

Thanks for the input guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aktruong:
The BluBridge has an internal battery that is charged via mini USB. You can plug it into your any universal USB charger and it works. I have one for my cigarette litgher and it can charge continuously while I use it. I've seen some out there that cannot charge while in use. This one can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GeneralSky2004:
Thank you. I'll probably go with that one then, since it is so much cheaper. There isn't much sense in spending that much more money on virtually the same product, I just wanted to make sure that it didn't run on batteries that I had to replace weekly. That would get old in a hurry.

Thanks for the input from everyone. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anilkuj:
BluBridge is great too and definitely cheaper than Belkin, i got the Belkin for 57$ on Amazon

mainly because in addition to music and GPS navaigation i also need it for handsfree calling since Belkin lets you to pick calls and also activate voice command or play pause and skip music tracks with just a touch of a button which is very important for me.

[Xperia Play Android Development] One2many:
UPDATE - Do not bother with these instructions. They do not work as intended. Too many different results.

Unlocked R800X - run Sony ICS stock beta as a daily driver on your R800X - the easy way

This is purposed for the stock R800i rom to run on the R800X. Since the information is somewhat scattered in the threads I thought I would bundle it with instructions to help other R800X owners that want to use a completely stock rom with root. This assumes you have an unlocked R800x and know how to get fastboot working. Everything seems to work except MMS.

First a disclaimer...

-I did not create anything here so credit truly goes to Doomlord, Chevyowner, Sony, Google and anyone that contributes to XDA

-This is intended for informational purposes only. Although I hope it works for you, I really dont care if your phone goes up in smoke so use at your own risk. :)

Now lets have fun!

1) I gathered all the files you will need from XDA and Sony for this:

2) Extract the contents of the above file to c:\ICS using winrar

3) Copy all the *.zip files from the above folder to your phone's SD card

4) Boot device into fastboot mode. With the device off, hold the magnify glass button while connecting the usb cord. If all goes well you see a blue led. If not search forum about your fastboot problems.

5) Flash doomlord's ics beta kernel via fastboot. (this is so we can install from zip and also roots the new rom)

fastboot flash boot c:\ics\doom-ics.img

6) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device

7) Wipe cache, data, dalvik cache and reboot

8) Boot device to fastboot again

9) Flash sony beta rom files (takes a while so be patient)

fastboot flash system c:\ics\system.img

fastboot flash userdata c:\ics\userdata.img

10) Boot to CWM - keep pressing the magnify glass button right after powering on the device

11) 'Install from zip' all the zip files you copied to your device earlier. Including gapps, doomlords ics boot animation, and cdma

12) Flash stock kernal (fix wifi without loading modules)

fastboot flash boot c:\ics\boot.img

13) To get cell data working - go to settings, xperia, internet settings and click accept

Hope this helps someone. Good luck!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Wallrunner:
Followed the steps on my R800x, boots, wifi works and runs pretty smooth. Phone crashes after I hit the call button. SMS appears to work, MMS doesn't, even after adding the Verzion APN in settings.

Going to Settings>Xperia>Internet Settings doesn't appear to do anything after hitting apply, mobile data isn't working and calls crash. Haven't tested any games yet though. Are there any steps I might have missed?

Edit: Even though the phone force closes, the call connects and the other party can hear my voice, but there's no way to hang up or any indication that there's a call going on. The Wifi indicator flashes on and off until the phone is rebooted or the call is dropped.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Leraeniesh:
Nope. This is all we have working right now.

My patch is only to receive a CDMA signal. Its been tested on DooM and stock, with similar results.

Sent from R800x
[Xperia Play Android Development] One2many:
Sorry there is trouble.

Again all I did here was attempt to bundle everything that's already available to make it easier. I assumed what I did would work for everyone.

Since I wrote the instructions from memory I should go through them again to see if I missed a step.

My data works fine as well as 3g notification.

My phone app does occasionally get that error but calls and hangs up ok.

Personally I prefer the stock kernel and stock wifi modules because I get way better battery life in standby. Other roms/kernels I was only getting 5 hours and with ics beta with stock kernel I get over 24 hours.

Do you think baseband versions matter here causing different device behavior for data and phone issues?
[Xperia Play Android Development] GlacialFlames:
Please help me, i'm on step 6 and having an impossible time booting to CWM, and am now stuck in a bootloop since flashing doomkernal
[Xperia Play Android Development] jenesuispasbavard:
Instead of flashing DooMLorD's ICS kernel in step 5, try flashing the three .img files from the official beta, then try this in fastboot mode. It will boot you to recovery instead of flashing it, where you can flash all the .zip files in step 11 onwards. No need to do step 12.
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I clicked Thanks, not because this works - it doesn't - but because you at least made the attempt to be helpful in gathering everything together in one place. Step 13 in particular has never seemed to work for me on Verizon.

The facts about the Sony ICS Beta and the R800x are simply these:

Sometimes, some people, for some UNKNOWN reason, will manage to get everything working almost perfectly. At one point, I had working calls and data, downloaded and installed apps over 3G, the works. Then I booted into recovery and made a backup, thinking to share a working Nandroid...

Well, guess what? Not only did it not work for anyone else, it stopped working for me too. I have tried everything to recreate my former success, with -ZERO- success.

At this point, to my knowledge, NO ONE has found a way to make calls AND 3g data work at the same time, as one would expect it to, in any repeatable manner. Maybe calls, sort of; maybe 3G data for browsing, but not for downloading from the market; rarely both at the same time, and never what one would call a daily driver.

In short, right now, the closest thing we R800x users have to a usable ICS is CyanogenMod 9 by FXP and further modified by paxChristos, AGraceful and others. It's something to bide our time with until one of these genius kids on here finally figures it out. As for Verizon and Sony go, it will probably be a long time coming, if ever, regardless of projected release dates to the contrary.

Having said all that... I think I might wipe my phone and try it all again today! :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] ozzmanj1:
netizenmt... I agree. I have tried going back & forth between GB and ICS and as much as I love the look and feel of ICS at this point I cant use it beyond just playing around with it as CDMA and 3G are not working. For me I have to have this. I dont mind testing a ROM and or a CDMA patch but for me to have no calls at minimum I cant go without. I watch this threa daily and hope that a Super Genius will find a solution. Becuase I know 2 things. When Sony releases the ICS rom for our PLAYS it will NOT be for Verizon users as Verizon would need to release the ICS version or at least a CDMA but the chances of that happening.. I have a better chance of being the next leader of Middle Earth (yes L of the Rings pun) before Verizon gives a monley butt about our phone. I do work next to a corporate office for Verizon and I do have friends that work there but they are not high enough on the food chain to make a mouse squeek. All in all we R800x users are at the whims of the awesome devs here. And for their efforts I salute you..... the CDMA patch may have us at the moment but I know given time something will happen. Keep positive peeps. :) :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] One2many:
Don't waste your time on this any longer. Although I swear I had 3g at one time I have been unable to replicate. I get too many different results. Updated first post to discontinue this thread. Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
Yes, it is both extremely puzzling and annoying how it works for one person one way, another way for someone else, then it quits working... it's like something "intelligent" is in there messing it up for us... That sounds so paranoid, but I don't know how to explain it otherwise.

I just purchased a Nook Tablet. Moved over from the Kindle Fire because I didn't like how thick the screen was and thus how glossy / reflective it is. I actually don't mind the Nook interface. Literally all I want to do is run the Kindle App for Android along with Comixology. I have purchased significant content on both and I don't want to lose access to it. Otherwise I like the Nook and would be content to just use the stock OS. Is this possible? Or do I have to dual boot?

Look for an application named "App Manager". It will make shortcuts for whatever app you like on the Nook home screen. It should be easy enough to track down in the Nook Tablet and/or the Nook Color forums.
