Yeah, and I can't wait until Microsoft releases this too:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/23/microsoft-patents-modular-windows-phone-with-swappable-batteries/

But yeah, patents don't always mean we're getting a product any time soon - they're often just an indication of research and development projects or just some cooky idea an employee had. Some might become products; some might be used defensively; some might just make the company's patent portfolio sound more impressive/valuable.

N-Gage didn't get a sequel. It got a redesign. Same Symbian S60 OS. Same everything (bar some features).

Also don't count the Nokia N95 or N96 in there either as that was just the N-Gage gaming brand.

On the hype side, that's all it was...hype. They pulled a Sega by advertising their product without showing the device or anything like that. Sega did that with the Dreamcast. Showed the swirl logo in the clouds on one ad but didn't show the Sega or Dreamcast name anywhere.

Again, like the N-Gage, another flop (I liked the Dreamcast personally)

I don't think Sony is blind. They know the Play was a flop. What company is going to lay their chips on the table and launch a sequel to a failed piece of hardware?

Well there goes my hopes for an Xperia Play 2 Announcement/

2012 has been so full of disappointments for me its insane
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
I knew it :)

Being right is awesome sometimes
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
I don't see what you are right about. :confused:
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
No Play 2. As I said a few posts back, Sony aren't stupid enough to spend tonnes of money making a sequel to a device, which in all honesty, was a flop.

If another gaming phone comes out from Sony it sure as hell won't be under the Play name.

Nokia learned that lesson with the N-Gage. Even when they launched the N-Gage platform on the N95 and 96 it failed miserably

tl;dr Sony aren't stupid enough to make a sequel for a huge commercial flop
[Xperia Play General] d31b0y:
Sorry, I should have been more specific...

You haven't been proven right just because Sony called a press release and announced something that wasn't a new Play.

Having said that, it will be difficult for you to be proven right in this case. Sony would have to come out and say there will be no successor to the Play. I don't think they would close a door so completely.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I think they will have a successor. I honestly don't know. I hope they will.

(Oh, and I read all the posts ;))
[Xperia Play General] DrROBschiz:
Well it certainly looks doubtful at this point
[Xperia Play General] vokal1992:
if they ever release a "xperia play 2" they should use the psp go thumbstick I hate the ones xperia play has :P
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
All depends on the games. Try playing Shadowgun. The touchpads work so good its like using a mouse.

Now, I'm not ruling out a sequel to the Play completely as I seemed to have. I just reckon its going to have a different name, not Play 2 as the Play name seems like a joke now.

Sony should have called it the Sony Ericsson Xperia PlayStation. I think that would have drawn a lot more attention to it
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
PLAY sounds awesome !

Are you ready to play ? yes I am ready to play with my Xperia PLAY !

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radutoiugeorge:
This is very annoying: before I rooted and flashed a new rom (cm7) I was able to butterly-smooth run 1080p videos on yt (considering I had touchwiz and all that crap) . The situation changed after I rooted and flashed cyanogenmod 7, because now it lags horribly which for me (a mediocre user) means that something definitely changed. I confess I've only played a bit with the cpu frequencies using "system tuner pro" but i think it doesn't really matter whether I use the system one or this one... the thing is I'm very worried about this situation and I hope there's a solution for this issue. Please forgive my stupidity. Thank you!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blbean:
I'd really lik to hit somebody's thanks button a few hundred times :D.

Coming from stock two weeks ago i rooted my DHD with Advanced Ace hack kit. After that i flashed successfully Icecoldsnadwich 7.0.3. DHD was running fine but a bit hungry on power. To reduce power consumption, i yesterday tried to flash a different radio. Before stock the DHD was rooted and i flashed roms and radios numerous times. This time during flash procedure it said "failed (remote: not allowed)". So i thought for some reason DHD wasn't s-off and used Advanced Ace hack kit again to s-off. After radioflash in aahk it said "waiting for device" forever. So i unplugged and tried the vol- and power button and was in hboot. Nothing responded so i pulled battery and tried vol- and power button again. Since then i have white bootscreen with HTC logo.

I really think that i really bricked the DHD this time :eek:. Yesterday i was on #aahkSupport IRC. Although the tips from those guys/girls did not bring me in hboot, one of them thought i was doing something wrong to get to hboot. I don't think so, but maybe someone over here has a magic tip for me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
The Hack Kit for sure didn't mess your phone....don't try to install eng s-off...it will screw your phone's bootloader. Is the volume rocker working? that might explain not getting into hboot....and by the way, have u factory reset the phone? that will explain the lack o usb debugging....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blbean:
@ glevitan: I afterwards read somewhere that running aahk a second time is dangerous. Don't know exactly why. Rocker was working fine till bootscreen. Did not do factory reset. Ran aahk with Icecoldsandwich 7.0.3 on it and then got screwed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Aahk is not dangeruos...the effen manual states that running it if you are already s-off while it won't brick your device will jam u up. Those are the exact words...if you are not able to get into hboot then something else happened.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blbean:
Thanks. Tried again today to fix, but without positive result. Guess i have to find myself the cheapest reseller for the One X :D. But it is still sad the DHD is dead.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
haven't you flashed eng s-off or a froyo ruu? That will explain what is going on...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blbean:
@glevitan Don't know exactly besides what i wote, but last days i tried several times to get in hboot, but it's not there or really screwed up. It's a shame there's no one to blame but me :D. Going to order One X tommorow. Thanks very much for your help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Sorry to hear that. Hope you enjoy the ONE X that seems to be awesome...:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_E_a_R_e_D:
next time just wait to flash the rom

stay stock until you get rooted, then get clockwork mod or 4ext Recovery and then flash a rom

I tried what you did, one it was hard to use and another it screwed up my phone. Right now the best you could do is try going to ur provider and make up a bogus story and get a new phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] rbrunner7:
Name: NickWrite

NickWrite aims to be something like a text editor for WP7. You can write text with it for messages, e-mails or for other apps through use of the clipboard, supported by many features beyond standard WP7 text entry:

It offers multi-level cursor movement by dedicated navigation buttons, undo/redo, auto-save, template-based text creation with variables complete with live tiles pinned to start page, a shortcut-expanding mechanism, and easy selecting of things like phone numbers and URLs within your text.

Also present is a word-autocomplete and word-propose feature that's not based on a general dictionary but on what you wrote earlier with this app. This can lead to a better hit rate and also works if you write in a language that WP7 itself does not support.

The app is free and without ads.

I'm the author of this app and open for new feature suggestions; the new landscape support of version 1.1 was already the result of user feedback.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] davide136:
wow your app is awesome...but its a bit too far from the meaning of easy to use:) i mean, it's not designed for the everyday use of the phone:) only for serious people:D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
I see two text when creating a new message. One is Send to which is usually blank and second is Code. Can you explain both of them.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] rbrunner7:
Explanation

Send to: is just a label / legend, a title for up to 3 recipients of the message that will appear below this text, if there are any. If you work with templates, you can specify up to 3 possible recipients together with the template, and if you use such a template to create a message, you can choose among them with checkboxes.

If you don't work with templates, there can't be any such recipients, and you use the standard mechanism of choosing recipients after handing over the text to WP7.

Code: If you write, NickWrite shows the UNICODE value of the character that is to the right of the cursor at any given moment, to the left of this "Code" legend. Handy if you copied text from somewhere and are not sure what's that character.

I think I see a way to improve the app in a next version: Only showing things like those two legends when they apply (when there are recipients / when there is a character to show the code of), otherwise they might be confusing.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Thanks,

I tried the template and understand how it works but here is the second confusion.

In case when a template has both email and phone number pedefined, If I select both using checkboxes, Both Message and Mail button gets disabled. This means I can either use numbers or emails and then choose appropriate action.

My suggestion will be to create a automated process where I can simply hit send and it sends first the SMS to all the numbers and then again for emails in the second step.

In case I am not clear let me know.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] rbrunner7:
How it works with recipients

Maybe you came to a wrong conclusion from a small number of tries. The logic behind this all is like that:

Checkboxes for up to 3 recipients, and phone number and/or e-mail address for each of them.

If all checked recipients have a phone number, you can message. If all checked recipients have an e-mail address, you can e-mail. Or the other way round: As soon as you check the first recipient without a phone number, you can't message anymore; as soon as you check the first recipient without an e-mail address, you can't mail anymore.

If all the recipients you want to use have both number and e-mail address, you can message to all of them first, use the "Back" button to return to NickWrite and then mail them as well - fairly easy, but I am not sure I understand why you would like to do that?

Anyway. it's an age-old GUI problem with grayed / inactive controls: They won't tell you why something should not be possible at the given moment...

I think I understand this idea, but I don't have a good idea right now what should happen for recipients with both phone number and e-mail address specified.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] rbrunner7:
New version 1.2

Just edited the opening post of this thread to reflect the new version 1.2 of NickWrite that I can announce somewhat belatedly.

This version offers something that I haven't seen in any other WP7 app so far: You can move the cursor with dedicated navigation buttons. That's something like the Home, End, Cursor Up/Down etc. group of keys on a real keyboard.

(I wanted to do this right from version 1.0 but did not find a way to implement it. Fellow programmers may be aware that the Silverlight / WP7 TextBox control does not offer any obvious way to move the cursor line-wise.)

Especially by using Page Up and Page Down on the Overview page navigating longer texts has become much easier.

Furthermore there is support for live tiles: You can pin individual templates to the Start Page. You can configure such a tile to start NickWrite in edit mode for the template, or to directly go to the WP7 message send or mail send pages. With recipients defined you can send something with only 2 taps - one on the tile and one on the "Send" button.

I will soon complete the app's web page at www.nickwrite.com with a detailed change log and add more feature descriptions.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sikiduck:
You can try the "SuperUser Update Fixer" from Play market first.

If that does not work, open Titanium Backup and see which BusyBox version you have, download "BusyBox Installer" from Play market and in the installer download the same version you have. And update binary :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueowl0708:
Are you using DoomKernel?

If so, the built-in version of busybox is superceding whatever version Feralab rom uses, and that's what's causing the problem.

You can install a newer version of busybox it will then let you update su. However your phone will revert to the DK version of busybox on the next reboot so you'll need to reinstall if you want to update su again in the future.

You know you are the reason xda came to be. A massive community forged behind your products, and your old model of 'keeping things open'.

Xda has become a HUGE COMMUNITY.

you will become zero and lose your place in the US if dev HTC unlock continues to be the halfass joke that HTC made and that actually is more likely to screw HTC users. We need full unlock, then we can fix our own software, not rely on you.

I love HTC hardware, but I'm buying galaxy or something in about 10 days.

Please listen to our recovery builders and take into consideration the VALID points I KNOW they have brought to your attention. They know Android better than YOU, HTC.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
I agree completely. It is sad to have one of the only manufacturers outside of Google phones that offer an "unlockable" product, yet see so many struggling almost more than without unlock!

Looking a device is understandable from both manufacturer and carrier points of view. When a grown adult, who spends their hard earned money on a device, wants to upgrade and develop their own software why lock them out? HTC will only benefit from the developer community as Android a a whole exists on the theory of open source. CID was found out explored and corrected all within this community and HTC got praise for it. Where is our returned gratitude?
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Bump!

Plus I have written an article on the situation, including the full quote from @toascfh from the discussion in the One X forum!

http://goo.gl/3T4NK
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Great job! Hopefully HTC will listen. I know they'll listen to $, but I don't know how much of a dent the custom community would really put in their pocket.

Also, I cleaned up my post. It was written last night with anger/frustration and liquor. Lol
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
Could you please clarify for me, and others who aren't completely sure, how this affects devs and users? For example:

1. Can I root?

2. Can I get superuser access and use SetCPU?

3. Can I flash a custom kernel?

4. Can I flash a custom ROM?

Those are some things I'm wondering. All I want development wise on my new toy is improved battery life, which I assume will come via kernel change or SetCPU. Does this seem possible?

Thanks in advance! :-)
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Do you currently have your EVO with s-off?

The new bootloaders are locking us out from flashing the boot partition from recovery. This means that if you want to flash a ROM you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM through fastboot first, then enter recovery and flash the ROM. Also, you are blocked from flashing from system, i.e. flashing from inside the ROM, like using ROM manager or something like that. As for the kernel I am not so sure... but maybe, unless it is in the boot partition, which I actually think it is...

So, you will use htcdev to "unlock" your phone, then you can use:

This will get your custom recovery, however your options from there are limited as stated above.

Then, to flash a ROM, you need to issue:

Using the boot.img from the ROM, then enter recovery to flash the rest of the ROM... As far as I understand. Then you will be able to use recovery to flash su binaries gaining superuser access, if necessary.

So, really you are going to be tied to your computer, issuing a lot of fastboot commands just to update ROM's, this severely slows down, and complicates the process, however, it will still be possible.

This all stems from more of a frustration, that HTC is locking things down making hell for users to customize their own device. This is what some 3vo users and many Sensation users and almost all Rezound users are experiencing. With the One series there are many working on this but it is difficult and frustrating.

I do plan to get the EVO LTE, despite the turmoil, and am trying to quickly learn some dev work so I can be a contributing member to the community. Believe me there will be those that stick around, but to lose the likes of toastcfh and cyaniarb... that would be a major set back...

Viperboy has opted for the Galaxy Nexus, but may still come to the EVO LTE, which would be a big help as he has done some great work for locked HTC devices. Though, in the long run, we do need to let HTC know what we want and that we are valuable and indispensable as a consumer group.
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
Thanks a ton! That is very encouraging to hear that there are still ways to go about doing things, just not as easy to do them. Honestly, the only reason I am a flashaholic now is that there is nothing that satisfies all of my needs. I feel like the EVO 4G LTE will satisfy everything I am looking for, and I'll only need to do little tweaks instead of massive wholesale changes regularly.

Now that being said, I'm still not happy to hear it is making devs run elsewhere, because we need them to create stuff so we have an opportunity to tweak our phones, whether in terms of big changes or not. Is there a way we can draft an email together and everyone who cares on this site can send it to them? Kind of flood their email to send a message?
[EVO 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:
I went into there Facebook told them I'm the tech of the family and they ask me what's the next good phone told them to go with the iphone or Samsung since HTC is locking down yup I'm the one that convinced them to get evo's and evo3D in the first place. You see what they dont take into consideration is we tell people what's the next up in coming hot phone including me I could sway away 8 potential customers not one. Just my two cents
