i had one of these cases on my lg thrill 4g 3d phone, it was a decent case, looked great but the clear plastic part got pretty scratched up after not too long...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Optimus-Prime:
I have it. do i use it nope. its actually just a a piece of aluminum sticked to a clear case that does not fit the phone. it will scratch it. left a wittle scratch on the top corner of mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] howtomen:
bahahahahahaha and u told me to buy it. im glad i didnt xD

I know! it looked so cool at first haha!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrTr0ut:
Okay, idiot question here...but I've searched and couldn't find the exact answer I'm looking for.

I'm wanting to upgrade to a ICS rom, but of course, it's recommended I do a Nandroid backup.

My question is: Is the Backup/Restore option in Clockwork considered a nandroid backup or is nandroid something completely different?? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] born2gethard:
Its the same
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
Yes they are the same. The name stems from a time where cwm backup and nandroid were not necessarily the same thing because cwm wasn't the only recovery option but now they're interchangeable.

Is there a way of making the delivery notifications like the Desire, where a little message would appear on the screen for a few seconds when delivered then disappear?

Currently, it vibrates like receiving a normal text and displays in my notification area. It's annoying as hell, especially considering the amount of texts I send
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
If only the notification worked -_-

I tried everything (handcent, Go SMS) and not working for me...

Looking forward to AOKP to fix this... (as it worked perfectly on a Gnex with AOKP for me...)

Try one of the above mentionned SMS Apps... it's really customizable and their are options for notifications.

Good luck ;)
[HTC One X] CharlieCharlie24:
Thanks, will give GoSMS a try :)
[HTC One X] ChriKn:
Just don't be shocked by all the options and stuff making this look difficult, you have to just take your time and change the options you like, then it becomes pure fun ^^
[HTC One X] CharlieCharlie24:
I've got plenty of time to mess with it, I can't put the phone down. In love with it!
[HTC One X] TechieGeek:
Same here. I'd just like to see a little indicator next to the message, but I don't want an entire sound, vibration, and status bar notification.

I really want to know when the latest .73 firmware for UK Xperia S will be released. Also if anyone currently running .73 would like to expand on battery life? :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
Well it's been a month tomorrow since it was released in singapore, other euro countries have got it. Sonymobile uk have said it is out but no one has confirmed they got it. So it might never come out. At this rate ICS may be out on the S before this patch get's released. I am using the NL generic using Flashtool and you can flash it without needing to root.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
haha! true! but its annoying that the UK one wont push through, i even tried every possible method of updating through PC too, but i dont want to fiddle too much, i almost buggered up my SII doing that :P but you have .73? battery life??:confused::D

The battery seems better, Im still only getting from 6am to 8pm ish but I fiddle with it a lot, would have no probrem getting longer if I could just leave it alone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
thank you, but i dont want to, i want to keep everything official this time, i did have a HTC one x about two weeks ago!! WHAT A PIECE OF SH*T! It glitched, lagged and had atrocious battery life, far more satisfied with this. Im still getting 7-9 pm moderate use and im on 20% !:D:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
I just got a new phone due to the yellow tint, was thinking of asking for a One X instead :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
ah dont!!!!!!

I work in a phone shop, i have had 2 one X's they are all so bad, ive never had such a bad phone, ive had most phones :L htc need to actually optimise the tegra 3 for the OS or they've made one SHI*E device!! lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WasherUK:
Its good to know I made the right choice :D

My new XPS screen seems perfect and coming from a HTC Hero its bliss lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
I just got the one x recently with the latest update today. battery seems a lot better.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
I just got the update notification on my phone today. Mines a unbranded phone from Sony HQ in the US. Same customization number as the Swedish generic 1257-6919
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
Oh right, well I'm in UK I'll check again

I still have no update :(:mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dgattenb:
In UK , brought phone unlocked etc from amazon , no 73 here .. however sony pc software updated !! :(

The phone is fab , but starting to look dated :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Hi dragon mate, is the NL .73 any better than the sg .73 ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
I find it better less bloat feels smooth just like SG. I use NL feels close to the invisible UK update.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Cool thanks, think I'll go download it ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] church473:
Strange - I got the 73 update a couple of weeks ago. I have an Orange branded XS. I am running 6.0.A.3.73.

I got a push notification a couple of weeks ago (maybe during easter weekend)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dragon546:
I have not heard from many Orange users with the update it may have been leaked. Generic Uk XS users not got the update either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] church473:
Not sure. It came through and updated using the pc companion. The phone works fine as well. Not sure anything has changed apart from the firmware number though. Slightly better battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Apparently the .73 update had been released for t-mobile uk, can anyone confirm?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HlmRan:
Yes, I can confirm this. I got the update via PCC about 5/6 hours ago.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
Amazing I'm sat here with a sim free XPS on .67 and the networks get the .73 update earlier. Maybe I have to reconsider my choice of handset.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
I'm starting to feel your pain in sim free too and where'sy fricking update, Sony dont even confirm it, it just comes out.... Excellent
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HlmRan:
To be fair, I can see your point. I would feel the same way.

For what its worth, I'm not seeing too much difference at this stage.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I understand its only a small update, and I did try the Norway .73. What annoys me the most is if they can do it with a small update what happens when they release ICS???

Maybe I should just try one of the rooms that have been released

Mate, there is pretty much next to zero difference. Trust me you are not missing out on anything! If anything I am missing out because I have a bootloader that cannot be unlocked which means I can't root or install any custom roms! Enjoy your phone and stop worrying about a little crappy update!

This is normal with pretty much all phones except apple..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mr_blobby_1975:
Then use the Flashtool software and download one of the .73 software upgrades and flash. I did it yesterday and it's pretty straight forward,..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Not all of us have that option :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mr_blobby_1975:
Would have thought that it will be released in UK over the next couple of weeks. No real changes apart from battery life from what I can see...I have an unlocked phone and was simply impatient. Never flashed a phone before and I was nervous to be honest....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
How good is the battery improvements?!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
I just saw a post over on android forums saying that quite a few people who have updated to. 73 via pcc are now stuck in boot loop, maybe that's why the update is slow coming to the uk?

Successfully updated to .73 on Orange UK.

Now to flash to NL .73 to get rid of all the crapware.

Then onto unlock the phone since I intend to use it with O2 lolz.

Sending my phone in for repairs. Dreaded yellow spots showed up.

Grrrrr....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HlmRan:
Now that I have had more than 48 hours to gauge battery improvements, I have to say that the difference is huge. I was extremely skeptical prior to updating.

I took my phone of charge at 9am yesterday, and at 3am this morning I still had 51% left.

My usage in that period was around an hour browsing at half brightness, half an hour of Facebook and twitter, 10 minutes call time, about 8ish texts, and some general messing around with the phone :)

Left it off charge overnight, and only 4% drained from the battery.

I connected to my laptop around 11am to copy some music to my phone, when i disconnected my phone, the battery was at 70%. As well as 8 hours+ idle time, I have spent an hour browsing on my phone, at full brightness, and I still have 57% remaining.

Very impressed with the difference.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
Wow I look forward to the update just wish my sim free UK would get it

Im a vodafone pay monthly customer whos htc desire broke, i bought an Xperia S via amazon uk so is not locked to any network. Im still awaiting update also....

I spoke to a Sony Xperia chat advisor and they said there is no scheduled updates for pc companion....

Seems simfree phones will take forever to be updated. The flashtool thing dosent work for everyone, ive tried and failed and have done it properly.

Installed the drivers via flashtool drivers folder, downloaded europe generic .73 firmware and put the file in flashtool firmware folder, run flashtool and select new firmware, screen pops up asking me to unplug phone etc, i power off then hold back (volume) button and plug back in and it says flash aborted.

Flashtool recognises phone no problem, correct model etc. Ive also tried various usb ports all with same outcome.

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] seanicca:
I was told by Sony Xperia GB via twitter that update rolling out and I should receive update within next few days , that was last week. Not holding my breathe anymore plus I'm waiting to hear back off them about yellow tint.

I just started flashtool clicked on flash tab (lightning bolt) and chose flashtool then highlighted the ftf I wanted and it flashed I did get the pop up once, but it just disappeared and carried on OK before I could do anything anyway.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chong2k4:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
I caved and flashed a couple of firmwares.

I tried the central Europe one, but the battery life on that one was worse than my .67 one.

Currently trying the Norway generic. But so far, I don't see much improvement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] EBirkett:
I flashed that one too not much improvement
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
The battery life on the .73 SG is alot better than the .73 central Europe
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
How about the other European firmwares??

I don't wanna do without the Japanese keyboard.

I'm currently using the Norway FW, but I'm honestly not seeing a better battery life than with my old .67 UK generic
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
this mean taht you are expecting them to say that this issu has officially solved and the are no more phones with these problems?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
The battery life is a significant improvement over the .67 uk fw about a 30% increase at the end of the day. I'm not using the Japanese keyboard with the SG .73 still with a English one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I think he means that he wants to keep the Japanese keyboard, but I think every firmware comes with that keyboard, well at least I haven't been flashed to one yet where I haven't removed it :P.

I am currently flashed to the Lebanon firmware and I had to remove some keyboards (still not sure which is which, I just use a qwerty, so removed all of the extras).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
Yeah, this is what I meant. I'm gonna be trying the NL generic pretty soon.

This is getting a little poor now..

Just had a look at the Sony Mobile UK site and it's saying that the update is available.

I've done the update check but nothing - are you guys seeing by connecting to PC Companion or checking the software update on the phone?

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/software/phones/xperia-s/

I guess on the positive side, it must mean that it is on its way - though we are on Thursday now... not much left of this week :s
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
It's said that on the sonymobile uk site for almost 3 weeks now, I think most of the networks have received this update but were still waiting for generic uk :(

It appears that this is how Sony do updates (yes I know it's for 2011 models before anyone points it out!):

talk.sonymobile.com/thread/35144

There is

NO logic

to it from our point of view. SI numbers are not rolled out in order and therefore if Person A is on O2 he wont necessarily get updates at the same time as Person B on O2.

This is very frustrating.

For the psst couple of days now, I've noticed some extremely bothersome green red and blue dots all over the screen when the camera is open. They look almost like stuck pixels, the green being an entire cluster of said stuck pixels. When pictures and videos are taken, the dots end up in the pictures and videos as well. What is this? This js royally pissing me off and making me sad, I use my camera a lot :(

Attatched is an image taken by the camera showing the burned up pixels. The green should be easiest to notice, the blue and red are a lot harder to see especially if XDA mobile doesn't upload images at its original quality.

For some reason I think the green,blue and red dots are nothing but camera noise and this only happens when you use the camera at night time

I have the same issue and I must admit it is very annoying

Also you said the colors pixels get carried onto videos and picture and I would say this is normal the only way you can get rid of this is by having a good lightning in the room

But for some reason the sensation still show a lot of camera noise even in good lightning

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emze:
Hey guys, I tried searching for answers everywhere but it was not fruitful. So, here is my question.

I recently got my Note N7000 and I was using the S-Pen. I noticed that the Pen's accuracy was way off.

I did a screen test with *#0*# and selected the S-pen. then I clicked inside the boxes only to find that my suspicion was correct. The pen was actually off. I spoke to a friend of mine who previously had a note, he said that the accuracy would improve with usage. I do not agree with that statement.

Any way, I am sure many would have faced this similar issue. Any possible solution to this?
