Yeah exactly. That casino comparison is pretty wrong. A real comparison is:

I went to the Casino, got mugged and robbed right in front of the casino's security camera's. They have video evidence of the guy that mugged me, yet they are sitting on their hands saying "sorry not our problem. but we'll ban that guy from coming back to our casino's, if that makes you feel better."

Now THAT's a true comparison to what AT&T would be doing in this situation. And yes, it's bull****.

Eh, re-read the article. I guess my comparison isn't that great either. It's just a bad situation either way.

"A class action lawsuit filed in California on Tuesday, though, alleges that AT&T is liable for not doing this within its own network earlier. Hilary White, Jeff Pello and Natalie Warren have all had their iPhones stolen, and they think AT&T didn’t do enough to get them back"

that' what "phone insurance" are for, stupid!

"AT&T has “[made] millions of dollars in improper profits, by forcing legitimate customers, such as these Plaintiffs, to buy new cell phones, and buy new cell phone plans, while the criminals who stole the phone are able to simply walk into AT&T stories and ‘re-activate’ the devices, using different, cheap, readily-available ‘SIM’ cards,”

it doesnt matter what att do or didnt do.

you going to get a new cellphone anyway if your phone is stolen!

WOW!!! The force are(sic) strong with this one! :D

You ever think that if people would not be able to use stolen phones they would become worthless and assholes would quit stealing them? But I guess that is are what phone insurance is are for!!!! Stupid! :D
[Off-topic] netnerd:
is there a law requiring phone carriers to block stolen phones?

maybe you should blame the phone manufacturers. on my old sony ux280p 4.5" UMPC, i can put a password to enter bios or put a password on the hard drive.
[Off-topic] sleepingturtle:
No law that I know of. Seriously, the iphone folks need to get over it. The phone was stolen, probably had NO security installed on it and no insurance. The butthurt flows too well in the iphone camp. Decent enough device, way too rabid fan base. Although the same could be said for any OS.
[Off-topic] 85gallon:
[slaps forehead] What difference does it make if it was an iPhone or no insurance? This will help all phone owners, not just iPhone owners.

And I am sure there are laws against it. But they are at the state level. And AT&T can turn a blind eye by saying "we don't track stolen phones". But this will force a centralized database where they will have no excuse now.
[Off-topic] sleepingturtle:
No carrier tracks stolen phones. They may restrict a particular device from being activated, that's it. If you have a hot device like the iPhone, etc. You should put some form of security on it yourself. It really is not the providers job to watch over your physical phone. The contracts are a promise to maintain service for a set period of time. For loss/stolen insurance, which is optional.

All this applies to u.s. carriers only. The other countries may have different rules.

Many years ago, over on the sensible side of the pond, as people were getting their phones stolen so much (this was before smartphones too) to be used with new sims, our government had the bright idea to force providers to block the handsets once reported stolen.

It had a significant impact on the theft of phones.

One might say such action is logical, but then, I am on this side of the pond ;)

[Venue Pro General] KnightmareCS:
So I've been looking into getting a DVP when I came across the problem where no one really knows how much RAM it has.

Since the phone sees it as having 256mb while advertising says it has 512mb, I think the following will be a problem:

http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-tango-limitations-officially-confirmed

Will DVP users be limited on the available apps? If so, this is a big turn off on me getting the phone.

-edit-

Did I jump the gun and miss the part where the NoDo update fixed it to properly read 512mb?

Someone please confirm:)

-edit-

Also, can anyone tell me if the Wifi issues are fixed with the latest updates?

Just wondering before I go for it.

Thanks!
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
The VP always had 512mb ram, it merely wasnt displayed properly in the launch version of WP7.

You must be confused on what tango as a whole is, it allows manus to push out lower spec phones while still being able to use wp7 on them.

Previously they required 512mb ram (among other things), you couldnt make a wp7 phone below the spec requirements.

There's currently no phones out based on the 'low-end' specs, and those would be the ones that cant run high mem apps. the lumia 610 isnt even out yet (unless i'm mistaken).

There's ultimately only 3 available WP7 chassis (that all manus base their design off of):

WP7 Launch: QSD8250 + 512mb ram (1st gen snapdragon)

Chassis update 1: MSM8255 + 512mb ram (2nd gen snapdragon)

Chassis update 2: APQ8055+MDM9200 + 512mb ram (2nd gen snapdragon) (current high end for WP7)

Upcoming tango chassis: MSM7227A + 256mb ram (low-end 1st gen snapdragon)

The new low-end tango devices will be based on hardware of compariable age to the WP7 launch chassis, but that wont affect any current and future owners that arnt using a low end device.

The low end chassis isnt really interesting except for those that want a really inexpensive WP7 device (it makes sense too, it sounds like a good way to increase marketshare). WP7 is two full generations behind, as 4th gen snapdragons are rolling out now.

Very least it'll be more energy effecient as the update2 chassis uses two chips, the first is the SoC/CPU and the 2nd is a seperate modem. 4th gen snapdragons have LTE built in and are 28nm, so they're going to be faster and more energy efficient (those two are multiplicative and not merely additive, a faster chip that uses less energy gets stuff done faster and uses less energy in that less time).

Though there doesnt seem to be a terribly large library of things that can push hardware on WP7. WP7 does have the smallest library currently because it's the smallest marketshare out of the 3 major OS's.
[Venue Pro General] KnightmareCS:
The first part of your response is what I was looking for I think.

I get the point of what Tango is, with allowing lower spec units and all. I was just worried about this one little detail:

"Windows Phone Marketplace app restrictions – Some processor-intensive apps have memory requirements, and will not work on phones with 256 MB of RAM."

Since I was reading everywhere that the DVP reports to the OS as having 2xxMB ram, it would have problem with apps down the road. The app would read that it has 2xxMB and deny download.

But from what I can understand from your response, if you have the latest updates on the phone (7.5 Mango?), you should not have a problem.

So it should show 4xxMB granted everything is up to date and everything will work fine and dandy?
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
All current WP7 devices have 512mb ram period, they dont show all of it because the gpu takes up a slice of the system ram.

This is true for any device that has a gpu but the gpu doesnt have it's own memory to work with.

MS takes this into account, only newer low end devices will not meet the ram requirements.
[Venue Pro General] KnightmareCS:
Well there I have it. lol

Thanks!

Now on the hunt for a DVP!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipsteak:
So I recently unlocked my bootloader and have been trying various roms; however, whenever I try an ICS rom, I always experience framerate lag on gameboid (with sound on). FPSE and N64oid seem to run at full speed. I've have tried overclocking as well, but I still experience the same lag. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this, or should I just go back to GB?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentCherryColla:
Frame skip to 0.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipsteak:
Thanks, I tried that and the video lag is gone, but now the audio seems very glitchy and jumpy. Is that supposed to happen?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crono141:
I've noticed this as well, but haven't put any thought into it being caused by ICS. I'll play with some settings and see what I can find out.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Setting frameskip to automatic mode & 1, fixes audio lag for me and doesn't seem to affect video
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
B*tch please, Gameboid can't even start a game on FXP116 CM9! Please tell me what rom are you using :confused:

Anyways setting frameskip to 0 or sometimes even automatic often fixes "emulator lag" in every device that can run one (PC, PSP, etc.), at least for me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supernova457:
The framerate is fixable with the frame skip, but the sound will always experience that distortion. The better your CPU and RAM, the better the sound is processed, but overall it's difficult to get rid of the sound problems.

I use a Galaxy S 4g and I still get those sound issues.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
That's funny, because FXP has only released 115 CM9 for the Play so far. Expect 116 later today, though, unless you compiled one yourself.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRegrets:
FXP 116 CM9 is out already? :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipsteak:
Well the sound works perfectly fine on CM7, but on CM9 it gets very glitchy. I'm assuming it's because how much of a ram hog ICS is.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
Damn, I meant FXP115 :D

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
WRONG! Stock official ICS isn't actually a ram hog or battery hog, but other unofficial builds for some phone models are. For example, CM9 experiences battery drain and consumes half of the ram for Sony Xperia devices and others while it does not for some other phones, then there's the official Sony ICS beta for the Xperia devices built separately for each one, which runs smooth, and has its own problems, like broken wifi indicator.

tl;dr: If you are going to blame someone, it's the ones who built CM9 for your device, not Google, AOSP or your carrier.

Sent from the best gaming android smartphone in the world with the best forum android app in the world ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipsteak:
But in general, ICS is more resource intensive than GB will ever be, so even stock ICS (IMO) probably wouldn't run as efficiently as say CM7. (I might be talking out my ass, but this is the conclusion I've come to from user experience)

Edit: Also, my gameboid games are starting fine on CM9

[HTC One S] jaywhy13:
So let's say the battery fails a year and a half after having it. Say the battery stops working or it doesn't hold it's charge as well. Since it'll be out of the warranty period, what options are there?
[HTC One S] johnny893:
Buy a new battery from ebay.
[HTC One S] Thiesen:
It's just that the HOS battery is built in... ie it is not replaceble... well it is but you're not supposed to do it yourself...
[HTC One S] kuroneko007:
Since you asked "what options" and not "what cheap options", I'll chime in with the obvious: send it to HTC and get them to fit a new battery. Exactly what our fruit-loving friends have been doing for years; not that I know anyone who has ever replaced their Apple battery.
[HTC One S] jaywhy13:
It's just important to me that I can actually get it replaced some how by myself. I live outside the US and it's going to be headache to send the device back to HTC to get it replaced. I really have NO clue about how these phones go with "non-user-removeable" batteries. So if buying one off eBay is an option I'd go for that.

Just wanted to know that that's an option.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I assume warranty will last 1 year, But warranty for battery and such should be for life ! considering its non removable. It cant be damaged by the user either
[HTC One S] unclespoon:
If you want a phone with a removable/replaceable battery, don't get the One S or an iPhone, I suppose that's the best solution. Besides, I've replaced iPhone batteries before, not really that bad.
[HTC One S] kolyan:
Out of MANY cell phones I had, NOT 1 battery failed on me or have I noticed decreased performance, even after water damage. We get rid off most cellphones way before any modern battery will fail unless its defective.
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
2 years (as most ppl get 2year contract) is enought to loose performance of battery!

Perfectly seen on laptops, where even after 1 year w/o proper care you start loosing your "juice"
[HTC One S] cookpass:
In the UK I believe the warranty is the term of the contract. So 2 years RTB in my case. That was the case withy Desire anyway. Not sure how that works if you buy one without a contract. Basic manufacturers guarantee I suppose?
[HTC One S] encho:
On my old Desire when flashing roms I had to pull the battery out occasionally. How can we do it here in case of need??
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
you cant. its impossible, The battery is non removable how can you remove it ?
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Hold power, vol up and vol down simultaneously will force a reboot.
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
Proper care here is the keyword. And hard to compare notebook batteries and phone batteries. Notebooks are a harsher environment all around than phones (with all the heat around they age faster).

Just do not deplete the battery completely ever and you will get quite some runtime out of them. And by that time I figure that the local stores and cellphone shops will be offering replacements, because sooner or later the HTC disassembly instructions will leak. I doubt that the phone is impossible to disassemble (i.e. glued together).
[HTC One S] hondasr:
The battery is not easy to replace but not imposible. Is like apple product. Replace an iphone 4 battery is as easy as took away 3 screws.
[HTC One S] encho:
Yes I know, but wanted to see how to force shutdown.

Thanks, that's what I was trying to find out.
[HTC One S] ccart:
Warranty is 24 months in the UK, imagine it will be the same elsewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong). I bought my Desire HD sim free hence knowing this :) Just make sure you keep receipts to prove purchase. Unless the battery fails, I suspect my one S will be long gone before the battery dies or needs replacing anyway.
[HTC One S] jaywhy13:
I'm guessing you'll get that warranty from a provider, not if you buy it online. NegriElectronics said 1 year warranty.
[HTC One S] vaaly:
HTC Warranty statement says "Unless otherwise agreed by the Customer, this limited Warranty shall last for 24 months from the date of original purchase for mobile devices, and 12 months for accessories"

So European warranty should last 24 months :)
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
I heard something about battery only having 1 year warranty, while rest of phone 2years?

[HTC One X] Deron Baker:
Although they don't go in the ear canal, the Gumy earbuds by JVC are, by far, the best sounding earbuds I've ever heard for under $25. They are almost as good as my Klipsch s4 earbuds and tend to be more comfortable since they are disc shaped and sit on the outer edge of the ear. They look similar to the Apple earbuds, but produce a much richer sound than the Apple buds.

I would rate the Klipsch s4 buds as the overall best sounding ones I own, followed closely by the JVC Gumy buds. They sound great with the Beats equalizer on my HTC Rezound. Both are better than Skullcandy FMJ earbuds and Skullcandy inkd earbuds, IMHO. Keep in mind that I listen to extreme metal and don't like too much bass in my earbuds.

Gumy earbuds are $9 at Walmart or Target. The Klipsch s4 are $80 at Worst Buy.

If you find it "TL;DR", skim through the your desired price range, and note down those with the highest(>8.0) Sound and Value ratings, then with your options narrowed down, read his comments on their sounds, and details like what's included in the box, build quality etc.

If you're really not in a rush, go one price-range tier higher, as you can often find them under discount such that they actually fit within your budget.
