dern Combat , Fruit Ninja , assasins creed and etc ? Is it worth buying for people like me who play a lot of games but have small/medium budget ? -Thanks[/QUOTE] The mini pro is very good for playing games its very smooth and fast, fifa 12 and samurai: very smooth without any problems but sometimes i think the screen should be larger :D mini pro is very good for playing games its very smooth and fast, fifa 12 and samurai: very smooth without any problems but sometimes i think the screen should be larger :D fruit ninja and pes also no problems i didn't test real football.yet but it should have no problems. Assassins creed was sometimes laggy but playable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
the only for problem of gaming on mini pro, is, the screen is too small to be honest.

seeing my friends playing games on his sensation i realised how small my phone is for gaming. but for daily use its great
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PedroCaseiro:
i think i will pick this one over the Galaxy Ace then :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
go for it. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PedroCaseiro:
when I get the phone I will make a small review and I might even start posting game releases.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] miniProBhashi:
Go for mini pro. Its always better than ace!!

you get more CPU,gpu,RAM! A qwert keyboard! A front facing camera!

My view, timescape ui from Sony is better than touuch viz, better using experience.

So comparing with this all you get more from ace is a bigger screen. You dont have to chose that over so much advantages from minipro. Get the mini pro! B-)

Wait what... Reading article

Edit: does this affect us at all?
[Nook Touch General] Matridom:
Probably not with current devices, but to me, it means that future devices are very likely to be windows based instead of android based.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I don't think that it will switch immediately to Window-based,

but no good can come from inviting an 800 pound gorilla to our private party.
[Nook Touch General] eridium:
I think M$ is more looking to bundle the Nook reader App with Windows 8 and leverage B&N's store for the books.

I really can't foresee M$ being able to scale down Windows 8 to run with any efficiency on an e-reader like the NST.

And M$ investment amounts to 17.6% so they are not in a controlling position, just a favorable one.

I don't see it as a bad deal for B&N as it gives them some capital to shore up the new company as well as get a sticky piece of patent litigation off their backs.

It still remains to be seen how it all plays out. Remember M$ did pretty much the same thing with Apple and look how that turned out for them. ;)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
From the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17896534
[Nook Touch General] eridium:
Yes, a new Nook Color tablet device could be built for Windoze 8, but they would have to ramp up the hardware on an e-ink reader to run that.

Which would raise cost of manufacture which translates to a higher consumer price.

There are already complaints about the $40 price increase for the new Nook GL (which I love btw, got mine today...woot!). The Flexiglow tech is still a new technology and early adopters have to pay a premium for using it in their devices.

How much more would people pay for an e-ink capable of running Windoze 8?

Then there is the Windoze 8 interface. M$ is hard bent on ensuring that the OS remains the same core across all hardware platforms. That would not be an insignificant hurdle for an e-ink reader.

Could it happen? Sure, it's not impossible. But I think there are more than few tough barriers to pass to get there.

How much money will it cost and is M$ willing to spend it?

And then there the fickle consumer.

B&N currently has a working formula. It could use some tweaking, but do you totally scrap that for Windoze 8?

Ok, I probably rambled too much, back to reading in the dark! :D
[Nook Touch General] eridium:
B&N CEO Lynch doesn't immediately foresee a Windoze 8 Nook either:

Fortune: Will we see Microsoft engineers and other Redmond-based talent actively working on new Nook devices and software?

Lynch: Currently, we've not communicated anything related to the roadmap about any hardware collaboration on Nook. Nook, as you know, uses open sourcing. Microsoft is obviously very entrenched in Windows. On the reading software side, in reading technologies, they're making interesting integrations into Windows, potentially Office. That kind of work has already started. Definitively yes.

Fortune: With the announcement, there's a lot of speculation now about what can come out of this partnership, like a potential Nook based on Windows 8, as opposed to Android. What can you tell us about the possibilities there?

Lynch: If you look at the content sort of flow from authoring tools, obviously, Microsoft is one of the leaders, if not the leader in authoring tools with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, their Office franchise, all the way through the transaction buying merchandising, sale or cloud management of the content. You can see us working across that.

So again we haven't announced anything specifically, but imagine an integration where an information worker, student, author, consumer, creates something in Office and has it immediately published for sale through the Nook book store. It starts to open a lot of exciting possibilities.

[Nook Touch General] orbitaladmin:
why all this speculation focusing on a Nook device of the future running on full Windows 8 when the perfectly natural OS would be a Win Phone 7 variant?

not to mention the OS that e-reading and font smoothing was marketed on first and the foundation of what xda-dev was made for - WINDOWS CE, which is still in develoment as an embedded OS.

I for one welcome a CE Nook, no rooting required!

:)

also, coincidentally, MS just filed a patent app for e-ink 2nd screen to display interactive info. I'd also love to slave my NST to my Windows 8 as a separate touchpad with display!
[Nook Touch General] GabrialDestruir:
Personally, I don't want to see a Windows 8 Nook for one reason: Price.

As it is the price for nooks is mostly hardware what with Android being a free OS and not requiring things such as royalties (being opensourced and all) if it all goes to Windows 8 I see the price going up as you'll not only be paying for the hardware, but you'd also be paying for the Windows 8 OS on the device, which would no doubt push the price point higher cause you know M$ has to have their cut. Instead of a $99 e-ink reader we'd probably be looking at $199 or $299 if say it were possible to switch the current Nook Touch to Windows 8 (it isn't but still). The higher end hardware which would be required for Windows 8 will mean that will also push the price point higher than it needs to be. Also replacing current devices with all W8 devices means they've effectively killed their App Market and since I can't see M$ playing nicely on that front they'd lose a source of income.

Another thing is, I can't see M$ playing nicely with people who want to create their own UI to replace whatever UI is on the tablet. Meaning that while you could run a Nook app on the device, you'd still be able to access everything else. So this could be a good point getting away from the restrictive UIs Nooks are known for if they went Win8.

Personally I think B&N needs to stick to android based devices, possibly releasing a W8 Tablet separately that doesn't replace any of their current devices. This would allow for them to continue making lower priced devices for customers who don't want all the bells and whistles of a higher end device.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
Yes.

Thanks for an interesting read, guys :D

If any products are replaced, I'm pretty sure people will stop buying them.. Even though Windows 8 is cool and all, M$ is pushing too hard.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
Mainly because the Windows Phone 7 interface was pretty much the only one they came up wtih by themselves. They're acting like a kid that just learned a new word that's fun to say; all they want to do is show everyone the word and try to get them saying it.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
That sounds like me.. :D

Thanks for the great analogy.
[Nook Touch General] orbitaladmin:
again... Windows CE is still in developement for embedded devices and runs on way more anemic ARM hardware than the NST and about the same as the WP7 OS. Plus their development is already paid for and very reliable and very developer friendly. remember, the core of XDA-DEV was built on modding Win CE and changing the UI. I could certainly see that for an eInk budget device.

yet, the future of the Nook Color / Tablet could be running on the Win 8 ARM OS, I agree with you there, and that would open up the device more than B&N does out of the box. target price of a full Intel based Windows 7 and 8 tablet is already $500. they are totally aiming for the $200 - $300 market with their ARM version of 8. I bet price would remain competitive.

although if you look at the aquisition of Skype, MS has been very slow to change anything or absorb them into other products. MS may do absolutely nothing to the Nook hardware line if it's working.

So I'm new to Android and am wondering where the lock screen notifications are located and how are they enabled?

No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ipguy:
having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.

Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.

Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)

Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.

I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.

CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.

hey guys, i dont know if im posting in the right section, but if wrong, mods feel free to move this thread...

anyway, im trying to change the plants vs zombies' game musics into longer version of the same musics (day,night,pool,fog,roof levels)

heres what i did,

1) open the apk file (using winrar)

2) replace the music files as in screenshot below (they are in mp3s)

i. imgur. com/N5BYY.jpg (remove the spaces)

3) sign the apk file

the game installed, but the music wont play, the game only plays the original one (the one that i didnt change)

i even converted the original high quality song into the same mp3 format (mono, 44.1KHz, 16bit, 128kbps CBR, edited the IDTag exactly the same as the original) but still no avail

what did i do wrong? can anyone help me on this? :confused:

reduce UI frame rate to 30fps? adjust brightness? could this be related to flicker? :mad: :eek:

[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I think there was a thread somewhere about a Tegra 3 monitering App so you could see what cores were running... I think they explained the 1000Mhz default in that thread.

I think it's something to do with the companion core taking some of the grunt but I might be wrong...

Sorry I can't be more specific.
[HTC One X] Meltus:
The "limit fps to 30" is pretty interesting. I wonder what the max fps limit actually is? 60?

Cool find though Knightrocker, these will come in handy I'm sure! :D

Wow. The speed it noticeable once its off.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Surely that 1GHz limit only comes in once power saving kicks in??
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
I know that the HOX is being marketed as being a 1.5 GHz phone...

I'm thinking if there are issues with the phone's heat and screen etc with the cores at 1000Mhz then having them unlocked to 1500Mhz might create a few more issues than we have now or am I just being a worrier? :confused:
[HTC One X] knightrocker:
Thanks :D

yup should be full 60 ... don't see why not :P
[HTC One X] knightrocker:
all this is power saver mode ... not just the speed limit ...
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
if thats the case, and it overheats and melts, it's being mis sold and therefore not fit for purpose, and ill just have to return it on that basis as well.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
these should be unrelated to the tegra drivers, power saver core run on its own

these will most likely activate once the battery reach a certain level, independent of T3's inner works

no issues should come up these are simply low power settings

although i'm interested to see what will happen on low power, since this phone has the tendency to heat a little during low battery, run at full speed mode might cause some more heat or who knows it might be the opposite, you never know with these things :D
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
i ran the antutu benchmark whilst on below 15% battery and it reported 1000mhz, once charged a bit it reported 1500mhz, so maybe its just at the 15% mark

i guess some testing when nearing low battery is in order.
[HTC One X] knightrocker:
So true LOL ... you never know ... lets see ... point now is when does the mode actually activate??
[HTC One X] DanteGR:
Many thanks for this knightrocker!
