[HTC Wildfire S] Mallecho:
I haven't really made up my mind yet...

Although I love the Wildfire s for beeing such a compact device I guess I wouldn't be interested in staying in the same smartphone league forever. Therefore the HTC Golf in my eyes wouldn't really be a considerable step forward.

When I saw the recent release of the One X with the built-in quadcore processor and 32GB internal memory space at first that seemed to be the way to go for me but then when I saw the results of the benchmark test where the One S did even better whilst only using a dualcore processor I kind of started to doubt wether this is really gonna be the next device to replace my current Wildfire S... =/

I absolutely love the sense user interface, but probably waiting for the next Nexus Jellybean device could be a smart move even if the odds are that'll probably be a Motorola device then...

I guess the current android version is just not yet prepaired for an efficient use of quadcore processors. Hopefully the next one will fix this.

So even if HTC has plans to roll out a jellybean update for the One series in the future I still guess that going for a Nexus device might shorten the stock firmware updating time for quite a while...

Still there's so much about HTC and the One Series that makes me drool...:p
[HTC Wildfire S] einstein.frat:
All you get from a nice custom rom is speed and battery drain, plus nice gui customization, nothing else. If I were to buy another smartphone I would choose the sensation not xl or xe cause all devs have it and there are hundreds of roms to choose from plus everyday it is always updated. Also it's thin and looks like a phone that doesnt get old on the looks of it. I wouldnt buy a thick phone thats to heavy in the pocket.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Wildfire S, as is the entire Wildfire family, is an economy smartphone. Its been nice to see what can be eeked out of a (lower end) smartphone though.

Galaxy Nexus IS Google's current development device, of course it will get updates first.

Like the Sensation...

I also looked at the dual-touchscreen api (from the Kyocera Echo)... I have to imagine that would be A+ top notch for game emulators (like DS roms and such).

All kind of interesting development going on though (at all times). Anyone tried that Google Drive yet?
[HTC Wildfire S] codegeek:
My Wildfire S was just a constant annoyance until I found Simon's thread and upgraded to Sense 3.5. I can't imagine any company/vendor putting out an "economy" phone with so much crap on it. It was like being in a candy store but only being allowed to buy stuff with a dime.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
A note on pulling back out my tmo wfs...

I really am a tightwad. But Walmart in conjunction with tmo has a plan...

$30/mo; first 5 gig at 4g speed, unlimited data and msgs, but only 100 calling mins...

Considering I was on the cheapest I could find VM USA:

$35/mo; first 2.5 gig at their fastest 3g speed, unlimied data and msgs, and 300 calling mins.

Now, take calling mins out of the equation by getting some kinda SIP apk, setting up free Google Voice acct and Tele number (incoming calls), setting up a free pbxes.org (router and outgoing calls) and boom.. Tmo the cheapest kid by comparison (and you get all the mins your data will allow... 1500 mins+ easily).

Only found one other service cheaper.. Republic Wireless at $19/mo but you have to buy their modded Optimus S (don't know how I feel about having to have a not-so-well-known company's ROM that strips back functionality of device (by some accounts; ie audio, dsp, etc especially) but its a similar logic to SIPs... It in effect forces WiFi, whenever possible, then routes everything (calls, texts,etc) over IP. I do like their headquartered in Cary, NC which is somewhat close to me and their IP way of doing things... But I like to mod roms and I haven't seen a RUU for their build.

If I could buy a generic Optimus S (Sprint), they hand me the RUU, and whatever cdma workshop tweaks I might need to make, I'd give it a go... but otherwise, its a LG device, and I still only own HTC at present.

Hi everyone,

My x2 is a vodafone, imei unlocked, stock 2.2 and CWM.

Im in the USA now and im using an iphone here so i wanted to update the x2 while not using it.

I read that lg will update trhe x2 to ICS and i had a pending update on my phone which i couldnt install due to a CWM.. Thinking it might be the ICS i went ahead and removed the CWM.

I removed CWM with "r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned", This did allowed me to boot into stock recovery. backed up all my data, did a factory reset and looked for update via wifi.

it found the update, downloaded (it was a small file, so no ics i assume), rebooted it self to install the update and thats it.

Now it boots to the LG logo and it stays there.

power Vol- goes to recovery for a brief moment (15 secs or so) and then back to LG logo.

What i have tryed so far to no avail: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457582&page=2

Uninstalled all LG drivers and software from system, W7 64 bit.

I have downloaded 2x-nvflashdrivers and 2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash

My comp detects the phone while in recovery mode, but wont take those drivers, hence NVflash cant detect the phone.. Once the phone goes out of recovery more my comp no longer sees the phone as connected.

I know its a lot to read but wanted to clarify in detail as much as i could so we all are in the same page.

Thanks to a guy on you tube for directions, seach for user "iPhoneIac" tittle "LG Optimus 2x - How to flash to stock rom"

Program used:

SmartFlash P990

SmartFlash drivers, if u see modem driver not working under windows try to do the flash anyways.

Did you unlock it fine? Get that unlock bootloader splash screen?
[HTC EVO 3D] Dmoneyxxxx:
Admittedly I am still a noob and learning a lot via these forums, If you are trying to unlock your bootloader via HTCDev visit android forums and search in the HTC EVO 3d section "Complete Newbie's Guide to rooting and flashing ROMs/Kernels using fastboot" by JeroFld this newbie guide will help, It helped me alot.

[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
when you wrote unlock code.bin , it should ask you to confirm, on your phone's screen , after that your bootloader will be unlocked and you can flash recovery later.

If you aren't getting the confirmation screen , running RUU might help
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Running the latest 2.17 RUU will help if your CDMA.. Sounds like your phone was never unlocked..
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Hi there again Reaper24 & everyone.

If the op is still trying to unlock on hboot 1.50 they may find the guide in my signature helpful. Like Reaper24 said, if u r stuck at step 13 of the unlock process, u need to rerun the full Ruu all the way thru and try again.
[HTC Desire S] mike300:
Having successfully rooted the phone, I did the following;

1. Copy your custom ROM "zip" file to your SD card (Root directory).

2. Turn off your phone.

3. Turn on your phone by holding the power button and the volume down button together.

4. Once you see the white screen, choose "Recovery"

5. Make a full wipe/format and clear all cache.

6. Choose "install from sdcard/zip file" and then choose your Custom ROM zip file from your SD card to flash your Custom ROM.

The following then comes up; Clockworkmod recovery V5.0.2.0

Installing/SDCard/RUU_Saga_H3G_UK_1.31.771.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_3 8.03.02.14_M_release_178937_signed.zip

Finding update package ...

Therefore, I cannot install this new Rom. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

Dear all,

I found that application loading is slack when the MemFree is small and Cached is sufficient on my Galaxy M (msm7227a).

- I got the MemFree and Cached value from “cat /proc/meminfo”

Test results:

Case 1) It took 1.0 second to launch a Camera app when MemFree is 30MB and Cached 50MB.

Case 2) It took 1.8 seconds to launch a Camera app when MemFree is 6MB and Cached 48MB.

It means that the reclaiming Cached memory back to the MemFree caused the delay about 80%.

I’d be grateful if you could give me tweak points to improve performance to reclaim Cached memory to MemFree.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hb-kevin:
If any of you are having severe trouble with your drivers not installing with windows 7, even the stock ones when you plug your phone in, this might help:

Download USBDeview and uninstall any new Samsung drivers you've previously installed. These may or may not be broken, but we don't care because we want the right drivers installed. First thing, turn off your computer and as soon as you hit the power button to turn it on start pressing the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a windows safe mode screen. At the bottom, select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement." This allows you to install drivers and programs that don't have a microsoft signature on them, such as the Galaxy Nexus' drivers and several Samsung drivers. Don't worry, it resets back after you turn off your computer.

After doing this, all drivers should install without a problem. I spent 4 hours trying to root my phone last night. 10 minutes was spent on the actual rooting, and the other 3:50 hours was spent on the drivers. I hope this saves you guys some frustration if you encounter this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metchan:
Or simply download and install Samsung Kies, drivers are automatically installed. You can uninstall Kies later if not needed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Best Devs and Themers bar none can be found right here.

As someone who has trouble holding onto a device for very long (as referenced by me many times already) I've since found a serious love for (addiction to?) custom ROMs and themes. And here at XDA there are so many to choose from that every time I flash a new one I feel like I have a whole new phone in my hand. Usually by now I'm beating back a major craving to buy a new device but for once, since my smartphone buying days started, I'm content with my phone and okay to wait and see what's next. (just hate hearing about it for months in advance lol)

I hope you know the tireless work you guys (gender non-specific) put into these ROMs/Themes does not go unappreciated. If I'd paid more attention to XDA in my OG EVO days I might've avoided the mistake that was EVO 3D and enjoyed my OG EVO until my upgrade (the E4GT) became available.

Major kudos to all of you and thank you, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Well said, my wife seen some of these roms and the themes that go with them then looked at her stock e4gt and finally told me to root and install blazer 4.1 ROM with ics sherbet theme. Now she has a new respect for xda and all the hard work these devs and themers put in for us all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
I feel ya. My girl just installed go launcher after three months and couldn't believe all the different things she could do. I know its bad of me to not mention it to her sooner but just like noobs in the forums, I knew I would be doing double time to help her. This way she moves into it at her own pace per se. I know I'm in for it when ICS is released. Even though it will have the same touchwiz feel, I can see that the reversed "ok" or "cancel" is gonna be enough to open a can. If you know what I mean. Lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yep!

Edit: Some quick bullet points

*From experience and from what I've heard, Expansys does help with warranty if an issue arises

*The phone already "features the YAKJU software build which means this device will receive updates direct from Google"

*Free shipping is in the USA, no tax outiside of Illinois, and they do ship internationally.

Yeah but do they still play middleman for two years should a warranty need arise? Otoh though $400 is a nice price for this phone and within many people's budget if you're a high mid or high end phone type of person.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ap3604:
So... for sure this is the one with the international warranty?

No way I would buy this one over the one direct from google with a U.S.A. warranty if it is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
I ordered an MHL adapter from them back when the EVO 3D came out and it said it was in stock. Took about 6 weeks for it to arrive at my house. They said they sold out prior to my order. That's my experience with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
Cool of them to lower their price to match the Google store. But I'd still have bought it from Google with the $30 sales tax and shipping anyway.

Hmmm... maybe this is the feeling all the Apple fanboys have when buying directly from the Apple store. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
I live in Bloomington, which is where expansys-USA is located. Lucky for me I can save shipping when I order from them cause I can just pick it up. Unlucky for me cause I pay tax...

I didn't get my nexus from them two weeks ago when I ordered it because they were selling them for $569 and I got it from Amazon for $450. Darn, two weeks and would have saved 50 bones...plus I could just drop it off and pick it up if I need warranty work.

As it stands now the company I got it from said they will take care of sending off for warranty, but I have to mail to Chicago, they send to Samsung Canada, Samsung ships back to them, then them to me. Basically same process as expansys I guess but add a couple days and cost for shipping to and from Chicago. Oh well I guess. sometimes you make the right move, other times wrong. Sometimes you jump the gun and other times you miss the boat. Guess I made the right move but jumped the gun a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sedracer:
you're correct. bought mine from dailysteals a month ago for $465 wish i would have waited so i could have bought the google phone from google. they need a nexus store.

also after helping a few people deal with international warranties for devices i wasn't really worried about buying my nexus was any retailer because samsung was helpful in all the situations (2 unlocked gs2 and 1 galaxy note).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ragnarokx:
Less than $50 is more than worth it for the direct warranty alone.

Not sure why you payed so much. for several weeks now the phone has been sold by importers for about $450-$500...

Not with well known/trusted warranty assistance like Expansys and Negri.

I've cracked the screen on my xperia play r800i and would like to know how much its worth now as I'm thinking of selling it.

Its all white, NO SCRATCHES at all apart from on the back slider, the gamepad, front and back are perfect no scratches at all, unlocked to all networks.

Just asking for a rough price i could sell it for if anyone could help me?

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letmedanz:
Buddy, you have a play with a cracked screen, scratches on the back slider.

(am assuming you saying back of the slider), which means the front and back are NOT perfect :)

in this condition i would guess the phone is worth very little if not nothing.,,

ask yourself if you would want to pick this phone off someone else & if you did how much you ready to pay for it?

i would suggest you spend a little money, get the screen fixed and try to see if the back panel could be changed as well, then you could look for an enthusiast who wants an old play... cos pretty soon there may be a play 2
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashake:
price in Store 240euro

price when used and in perfect functional condition: ~150-180 Euros

price for phone with broken screen: 50 euros

so when he sends it in, repair costs 80 euros

makes 130 Euros overall the buyer paid to get an used phone with perfect functional condition. Seems fair as he had "the work" of sending it in.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Im also interested,

My phone is in an imaculate state (perfect)

Only thing wrong with it is the screens cracked, neither cameras work.

Oh, and the gamepad fell off.

Could i get £100 for it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Probably not you'll have to pay somebody £100 to take off your hands!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhomerun:
I don't think this is true at all. People on eBay buy broken phones all the time and fix them for profit, especially for something as simple as a cracked screen.

Now, you'll probably only get $30-70 for it, but it's worth something.

My suggestion would be to look into fixing the screen. Sometimes it's easy enough to fix yourself, or you might be able to send it into a repair service for a relatively low rate (compared to having to buy a new phone).

Fixing it yourself can be a good option especially when you have nothing to lose. I'm pretty sure for iPhones you can find screens+digitizers for around $20-40 - they only take time, effort, and good instructions to fix. Maybe there are good kits with instructions out there for Xperia Play.
