[Samsung Focus S] Nissan350:
Hey guys. My girlfriend just got her Focus S after being smoked by a Windows Phone. Needless to say, she loves it.

A few hours later, she calls me complaining about a "question mark over the battery icon" while charging it. Shes tried several different chargers including the one that came with the phone and still the problem persists. Not to mention it is charging incredibly slow. I Googled the problem and found only the Nokia Lumia 800 has this problem but it has been addressed with an update. She has not plugged in the phone to her Zune desktop yet so I am not sure if there is an update available to fix this problem.

Is this a known issue in the Focus S world?
[Samsung Focus S] armodons:
Haven't heard of this issue. But if this is a new phone the battery should probably be conditioned via several full charge/discharge cycles.

Perhaps you can use the Diagnosis app to to see if there's a problem. Type ##634# in the dial pad (like if you're making a call) to install it. Then launch it from the Apps list. Type *#2*# to launch the Battery information page. However, I have no idea what any of the fields really mean so hopefully someone else can jump in....
[Samsung Focus S] Jibberish18:
If the battery is unofficial, it will do this. When my OEM battery died, rather than contacting Samsung I first tried to get an unofficial battery through eBay. I put in the unofficial battery and it charged the very first time completely. After I let the battery go down to 0% (To fully charge and drain the first few times of owning the battery to "prep" it) it stopped charging completely and I could not unplug the charger from the phone because the battery was always at 0% no matter what I did. I contacted the seller and he sent me a new battery. Did the same thing. SO this leads me to believe that you MUST have an official battery in there because I finally had Samsung send me a new battery and it worked fine after that.

I should note this also happened to me on Dell Lattitude laptop. Tried 2 different aftermarket batteries and both had the EXACT same issue.

What does everyone think of the phone with your time with it? Good? Bad? What are the custom roms like? Any good ones? Worth the swap?

Thanks for your help guys.

[HTC Sensation XL] Gunman84:
In case of gaming NO . But HTC SXL looks better and in my opinion ,it has more support on both sides that is HTC and XDA. The screen is very good especially outside. ;) :)
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Well it depends on what do you do most with your phone. If it's for gaming than no. But if it for Listening to Music or Camera stuff, than absolutely. And the SXL has Sense UI which is really amazing
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Dude if someone is offering you a SXL for your play DO IT :eek: not only is it worth 3 times more:

Xperia Play = £140

SXL = £430

But specs wise it pwns it too ;)

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Don't let the hype fool you, unless you intend to spend your life playing emulators, the play is not that good at gaming, unless your 10 years old, and have tiny hands lol
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
The sensation xl is one of the smoothest and snappiest android device that i have used in terms of ui and browser. Its doing fine as a gaming device for me too. Some games wont install from market but theres a way to get around that. I played shadowgun, riptide gp and fruit ninja on it fine. But the main strength on the device are browser, screen and battery life.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Well, I have never played on Sony Phones be4 so I don't know much :D

One think for sure that I'll never get one neither
[HTC Sensation XL] PipelinerArd:
Hey guys, I'm from over in the DHD thread and I'm thinking of either ordering a Galaxy Nexus or a Sensation XL. Which one do you think I could get more bang for my buck? Does it come in an unlocked GSM version?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
i'd go with the Galaxy nexus, for a number of reason.

1) Dual core (Although the SXL proved a single core still has it)

2) Much higher screen res, The nexus has a 720×1280 screen res compared to the 400x800 of the SXL.

3) Finally being the official google developers phone, the galaxy nexus will be first for OS updates. And will receive "Jelly Bean" before any other device :)
[HTC Sensation XL] PipelinerArd:
Thanks for the insight!
[HTC Sensation XL] Nhialor:
I'm tore between a one s and this...any ideas?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
One X has a quad core tega 3, there is nothing to be torn about :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation XL] bartoloandre98:
Tegra 3 ....no thanks:P
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Theres nothing that needs a quadcore on your phone. I was thinking of upgrading from my sensation xl to a one x previously but trying one in store i changed my mind. The one x with tegra3 is full of bugs and glitches. Surprisingly it does not feel any faster or smoother at all in general use. the browser and multi tasking is much better on the sensation xl. Then theres the issue of battery life. On the SXL i can get through the day with pretty heavy usage of 4-5 hrs screen on time on 3g and 6-7 hrs on wifi. The one x is getting typically 2-3 hrs screen on time on wifi. If you can get the SXL at a good price go for it.
[HTC Sensation XL] Nhialor:
I said one s not one x
[HTC Sensation XL] CoSaWa:
I noticed that. :P The One S still has a snapdragon S4 processor, which is a huge upgrade over ours. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
Sorry i really must pay more attention to what i'm reading :rolleyes:

the One S is still a beafy phone. 1.5Gig dual core snapdragon & adreno 225 (The SXL has adreno 205 like the xperia play, adreno 225 is 2 generations ahead)

the One S also has a SAMOLED screen :D
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
The snapdragon s4 is great. But unfortunately the pentilated Samoled screen can be a downgrade depending on usage. Its the same display on the Razr and frankly its terrible for web use. The one s despite its super efficient cpu offers over 1hr less web browsing time than the sensation xl due to the amoled display. Htc continues to do thing halfway offering the best soc then mate it with a crappy display. Offering the best display then mate it with a problematic Soc.

Okay, now the internal SD Card is giving me all kinds of headaches.

I flashed all my ROM stuff fine, it installed, runs great, but now I can't copy or write anything to the internal SD Card.

I try to take a picture, force close. Copy files with Astro, errors. Even PC to phone errors out on me. I can't even copy over another ROM zip to reflash to try it out.

Anything like this happen to any of you guys?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Try going back to stock. Sounds like a bad flash. Or it was writtin in that it is only readable, not writing. So try the stock, should work. Pick your choice, recomend heimdale one click, its the easiest.

Go to settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names.

Click "Access Point Names." Most T-Mobile SIMs populate the APN. If yours does not, search the forum for "T-Mobile APN settings." Click the menu button, New APN, populate the APN as the forum tells you to, click menu, click save, and you should have mobile data.....

What happens is that sometimes the screen start to flicker that is continuous jump

between low and high brightness which is very irritating.

So please share if any one of u face the same problem or know anything about it.

Live with walkman has a ambient sensor in it which changes light accordingly

but i never noticed any flicker in my phone my suggestions would be take the

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chepoz:
the flicker shows when u look at screen from side. but from infront of the screen, it's hard to see.

sent from my Walkman
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I confirm this.

When brightness is not full(I used on half on Stock and Hybrom ROMs), then in some conditions the screen indeed does flicker a bit.

That is caused by ambient light sensor, which detects many different light levels at some point, that is the reason for changing screen brightness so much at that time.

Currently, I am not aware of solutions for this, as I do use custom ROM, where I haven't noticed it yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abhishekcal:
I my case the flicker is noticeable from front also.

I think i have to take it to the service center.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Is not a bug, most other phones have it also, that means light sensor works.

It shouldn't damage your phone.

Help yourself and learn how to search and read threads. All of the information you need is laid out very simply if you look for it more than 2 seconds. Seriously, why should people help you do something when it would take them more time to explain it than for you to search and learn it very simply yourself?

Asking for help is for when you run into problems that occur outside of following the simple instructions outlined in the various threads related to rooting and ROMing.

There were several different types of tests and all were geared towards WP7's strengths.

It was an advertising campaign, so I would expect them to do well against most devices.

It was not a test of hardware, it was a test of software and integration.

Something MS did very well with regards to WP7.

And sorry, WP7 does do social integration better than Android.

I own devices running iOS, WP7 and Android and WP7 has the social part nailed down.

Sure, you can find third party solutions for Android, but that's not the point of these tests.

I was not impressed with the Lumia or its Windows operating system. I demo'd one and picked up the Skyrocket instead (I was going to preorder a Lumia a week or so ago because of the $99). The handset was heavy, the touchscreen was not as responsive and it didn't help that it died in my hands. I thought the ATT rep was really good. She pulled a Skyrocket out (her own personal phone) and said I would not be happy with Windows mobile if I was used to Android..(coming from an Atrix that made my mind up and I am happy with my decision)

I think with Nokia WP is finally getting some traction, especially at the price point they're selling it at. It was a smart move for Nokia to go WP rather then Android, it's easier for them to stand out. With Android they would just drown, among the sea of devices.

I've played with WP7, and it is a pretty slick OS. That said, these challenges are stacked in WP7's favor: social integration/efficiency.

Might be a stupid question, but is it because I am running custom roms w/ICS as to why my apps aren't functioning properly?

Case in point, twitter for android when posting a tweet doesn't have auto correct, but if I was on stock GB it worked just fine.

Or is this something else causing this?
[HTC Sensation] tehjiao:
Some earlier version of application may not be optimized for ICS and may cause proble. But your case sound like a Setting problem, what Rom or keyboard that u r using now?
[HTC Sensation] ReeF666:
Quite often more than not you'll find if your phone has quite a lot of problems with apps crashing and butting UI's, that the MD5 of either the ROM, or 1 of the mods you are running was incorrect and is causing instability in the phone. If you still have the files, check the MD5 checksums of them. If they don't match up, simply do a backup and re-flash whatever was incorrect.

[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Firstly the reset button is the equiv of pulling the batt, it's pretty much a hardware level button and not software level.

Have you tried charging it for a few hours, if it still doesnt enter any boot mode (normal, fastboot, APX, recovery) then it's likely dead at the hardware level.

By the fact that you said pulled battery out, I am assuming you are talking about something else or are just clueless.
