I use MX player.For me its the best one.:)
[HTC Sensation] reaper_07:
As far as media players go, MX Player is very good due to the various options available for decoders & the subtitle support.

If its a music player you're looking for & want to go for a free one, my choice is Winamp. I really like the interface & the whole directory of Shoutcast radio stations is available.
[HTC Sensation] rio911:
I did not see it mentioned but BS player lite is also very good, though lately I'm using mobo player, just for the interface.

[HTC Sensation] Noctophrenia:
Media Player

I have a similar question. I need a player that supports bookmarking because I alternately listen to podcasts/audiobooks and music.

I need to be able to pause a podcast and come back to it at the same spot.

I have found some players that do this like bTunes and AstroPlayer but they are super buggy.

WinAmp works wonderfully well but doesn't support this one feature.

I'm looking at MX right now to see if it supports bookmarking but I don't see it.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I see now that MX is a video player. Interesting that it has specific installs for different ARM versions. Still looking for a media player...
[HTC Sensation] Zwenk:
For me 2
[HTC Sensation] ChobbyNS:
MX Player all the way,bs player is also ok but for movies with subs mx is better.

And for music i use tt pod,its simple and easy to use.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
Wow, Sprint really nuked their trade-in program. I was considering buying an EVO 4G LTE at full price (I am not up for an upgrade yet) in exchange for trading in my EVO 3D. But they are only giving $90 for the 3D! Wow. I traded in my EVO for $200 when I got the 3D. Did they gut the program?

I also considered Radio Shack. I know that last year they were also taking $200 for the EVO. But they are only offering $13! Insane.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
It's valued for $120 at radioshack
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Should've bought your phone from bestbuy. They have the best buyback.

Up to 1 year you can get 40% back from price before carrier discounts (that's $280) and 30% back after one year.

So I'm planning on using my wife's upgrade on the Evo LTE which will be -$200 but then selling the phone back so I get +$280, ending up with $80 of money I can spend on whatever I want.

I basically got $80 for buying the Evo 3D...
[HTC EVO 3D] leo72793:
where? link?
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
When I traded in my OG Evo for the 3D on 7/23/2011, they were giving $150.00 since they were still selling them at the time and were going to sell for the immediate future. Since the Evo 3D is already EOL for Sprint, they really don't need them so they are priced low.

The 3Ds are still selling on Ebay for $150.00+.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
$150 is probably what I got, not $200. I am just misremembering.
[HTC EVO 3D] web0rama:
i can't post links yet, but check the best buy mobile phone page & look up their buy-back program. It looks like you could get around $100 from Best Buy even if you didn't buy it from them originally...

[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Its better to sell this phone solo than Sprint buyback.

$150 is a decent rate for a stock, great condition 3D,

+$$ with any extra hardware (SD/Cases/MHL).
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
I work for radioshack. Value does depreciate after time. Haven't looked in a couple months I'll update when I find out.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
That's prolly how you should do it if in perfect condition
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Just sold my 3D for 150 and that was mint condition. Tried getting 185. People were offering like 100. Had it on craigslist and a few other places for weeks. Had one offer for 150 initially but turned down cause figured I would get more. Should have taken it and saved time. Oh well. 150 was best I could get.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgbbad:
best buy

2nd for buying it from Best Buy. Buyback program is quite handy for those who would upgrade often. I can get at least 150 for mine and I've had it since launch.
[HTC EVO 3D] Phreddo:
Feh, I don't get an upgrade until November. Might as well wait for ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
I think it's just this phone. It wasn't that big of a hit and the value on it isn't really good. There are Evo 4G's selling on CL around here for just as much as the 3D's are. When I sold mine I wasn't getting any offers more than like $140 or so because that's what everyone else around here was selling em for.
[HTC EVO 3D] Myst3ry:
umm... i have a better idea... instead of jumping through hoops and buying and then selling back lol, just buy the phone, and sell it to one of us for that price! lol

r better yet, just sell the upgrade :p
[HTC EVO 3D] crazyjoezx:
How much is the buy back program?..I think I heard somewhere it was ~$80?

Thinking about about getting it on the Evo LTE.

to OP

My contract was up April 2013, but like others I called sprint and paid $115(Which will be on next months bill) to move my upgrade date to May so I can get the phone...I didnt think it would work but it did!:)
[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
Ill be getting a minimum of 280 with best buys buyback. Good think I work there because I got buy back for about 7 dollars hehe.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
What did you tell them ? My contract is up on May 2013 and i want the EVO 4lte asap.
[HTC EVO 3D] benifactor:
When did you do this? I thought the early buyout upgrade offer was over?
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
At carphone warehouse UK, it's valued (new) still at £559.95p and trade in value is £73, that was the same 4 months ago when i got mine and it's still the same now, i nearly spazzed out when i was told the trade in price.

Not good, considering iphone 4 is still valued at over £200 at the same place and it's a 2 year old phone.

One X is valued at £190 roughly.
[HTC EVO 3D] crazyjoezx:
I called last night about 10pm-ish.

Me: I know my upgrade is not until April 2013 bc I bought the 3D at launch but I read on line that ppl are calling and paying money to move the upgrade forward, I would like to do that so I can buy the EVO LTE when it comes out next week.

Rep: Huummm....let me check, I do see that you cant upgrade till April 2013, Let me check if there's any promos in your area that would let you upgrade

Checking..

Checking...

Rep: Nope, I dont see any sorry(my heart broke :( ), but let me get a hold of account services and see if you can do that buy out thing you spoke of...

Ok I just spoke with account services and he said you can pay $115/per line (added to next months bill) and have your upgrade date moved to May :eek: should take effect in 24hrs then you can go in any store and place your per-order..

Hopes that helps you guies

So anyone know how much the buy out program is? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I'm going to sell my phone on Craigslist. It's in pristine shape, and has everything it came with, including a desktop dock, car mount, otterbox, gel case, and a few screen protectors. I'll get enough money selling it on Craigslist to order my EVO 4G LTE.
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Woohoo (: . Man ill see I'f I can do this
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
That is the cost :p, it goes down $10 after the 30th of every month. You've done the "Buyout", Congrats.

I wonder how yours came to $$5.00? LOL, usually its in 10s. Still that's good given it's only $5 more than I'll be paying myself, come June 30th.
[HTC EVO 3D] crazyjoezx:

Do you have to call them or you think you can do online?

So I called to cancel my pre-order from the Sprint website since there are other retailers out there who are offering sweeter deals. Sprint has been unable to cancel the order (merely an hour after I placed the order) and are now telling me I am stuck.

I'm fairly surprised that in this day and age customers cannot cancel an order for an item that supposedly is weeks/months away from shipping.

So the overwhelming lesson here is - don't order anything from Sprint. That was the worst buying experience I think I have ever had.

Well, there's United airlines but they are in a class of fail all by themselves.
[EVO 4G General] flex360:
i had no issue preordering
[EVO 4G General] PsiPhiDan:
Okay, but did you cancel your pre-order? The OP had a bad experience canceling, not the original pre-ordering.
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
give you $50 for it... :D
[EVO 4G General] typhoonikan:
Lesson learned.

Investigate first.

I've been there.
[EVO 4G General] DB13:
I just ordered for wirefly and save $50, F*ck Sprint!
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
i had this issue when the OG evo came out. I pre ordered it from sprint the day of pre orders. 2 days later they announced that best buy was getting the white evo.

I right away tried canceling my evo pro order from sprint and they wouldnt let me. I waited about 2 weeks and called back and canceled it with no problem.

I think you should wait a few days then call them again to cancel the pre order. I think at 1st its so crazy with pre orders and stuff so give them a break.
[EVO 4G General] qqq1:
I called to cancel a few hours after my order. Had to go through 3 people but he finally did it. Got a lot of "Well we will you have see if that can be canceled" blah blah. They had no problem charging my cc the second I clicked to preorder for an item not yet available, how is canceling that so hard? Anyway, got it cancelled and ordered though wirefly with cheaper/better insurance. Sadly I forgot to go through fatwallet for cash back.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
what was the total cost of the wirefly pre order???

my order from sprint came out to be 235.74

maybe i should cancel my sprint pre order and get it from wirefly. do they ship the day it comes out???
[EVO 4G General] ajohnson16:
I preordered online and then found the Wirefly deal.

Had to call in but was able to cancel the order and get my eligibility status reset and order from Wirefly, which went flawlessly and ended up being closer to $75 cheaper as Wirefly didn't charge taxes to my area.

Sprint representative did say my money would be tied up for about 10 days before being credited back. He also mentioned that there was no way they could match the price even though I didn't even mention anything about that.

It wasn't a difficult process for me at all. Hopefully Wirefly will have the phone to me within a reasonable timeframe around the 18th. I don't mind missing it for a few days if it saved me $75.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Mine was $149.99 even but as I said in another post, I wasn't charged any sales tax.
[EVO 4G General] FattySparks:
Bestbuy is pre-ordering as well. They give you $50 if you pre-order and if you trade in your OG Evo, they'll give you an additional $50
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I and others just preordered at best buy and no money was given either way. They just give you a piece of paper that says you are preordered.

sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
[EVO 4G General] geo316:
Wow... Does that mean they will charge your card when you receive the phone? And the phone will ultimately cost $100? If so then sweet... Glad I didn't jump on the Sprint preorder today... thanks guys!
[EVO 4G General] antoniosp:
unfortunately I jumped on the Sprint pre-order and now they refuse to cancel my order. I called 3 times and escalated and was told order is too far along on their process and cannot be cancelled, even though they said it hasn't shipped nor do they know when it will. I'm so pissed at them, I know its B.S excuse not to cancel my order. in any event I will wait get the phone and then return, this way it will cost them even more money for shipping and return, and then buy from somewhere else. I told them they prefer to do that than cancel order and they didn't care.....and they wonder why companies loose money
[EVO 4G General] knightwolv:
Wirefly is also giving a good price on pre-oders $149 ( $50 off) and Amazon is giving $50 off as well.
[HTC One X] semihsikier:
Hi everyone,

I got a question. Is it a must to wipe before flashing a rom? For example, I'm on a rom and i want to flash another rom. Why is it a must to wipe it? What happens if I don't wipe it and flash a new rom?

Kind regards,

Semih
[HTC One X] random_username_:
Its not a must but its highly recommended if you don't sometimes you'll get bootloops, sometimes you'll get random crashes and apps not working or you could get very lucky and everything might work fine. You should at least wipe the /cache partition, you won't lose any data.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
if you are on the same rom and the dev updates then most of the times no it is no need to update. if you are trying different roms though then yeah best to do is wipe. if you go into ARHD thread in the first page there is a script called superwipe. download that and flash it before you flash a new rom and that will do all the wipes for you. or just do it the old fashion way in recovery:) and reason why to wipe sometimes so you do not have old system data from previous roms
[HTC One X] treebill:
Also make sure 100% you have your Rom on your sd as you can't mount sd in recovery and after running there is no system.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
And also a backup..that is the most important thing...went through a lot of threads that i read and most of the people on some threads ask on how to restore using RUU cause they do not have a backup of their stock rom..So please always make a backup my friend
[HTC One X] bezjones:
It's not. They call that a "dirty flash". I've never done it but I've heard that it's not advised.
[HTC One X] semihsikier:
I want to flash a new rom, but i don't want to use titanium backup to restore my apps, thats to much time. And if I wipe it, my settings will lost. So, i don't want to do it. But it seems that I have to do it, otherwise i'll get some errors and bootloops etc. I thank you all for your fast reply. I'll wipe my phone :)
[HTC One X] semihsikier:
A nandroid backup. If I do it while on the old rom, can I restore it on the new rom? not an updated rom, just another rom of another developer..
[HTC One X] Goku80:
contacts you can save them if you have a google account my friend. regarding backing up apps with Titanium backup if you have the Pro version it is all a matter on a few clicks. so my advise would be get it if you do not have the Pro version:)
[HTC One X] random_username_:
Yeah thats fine, I usually flash the old rom first then restore the backup when coming from cm9 or miui to stock to avoid bootloops etc.
[HTC One X] semihsikier:
Yes, I have the pro version, thats not a problem. Ok, I'm going to wipe it for the safety. Thanks a lot
[HTC One X] Goku80:
no problem mate:)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetalNoob:
Hi everyone,

i have problem with google calendar sync on Nperia BG 0.4 ROM. Google Calendar just don't want to synchronize.

Sync of contacts, Picasa and Gmail works perfectly. On other ROM (Eg. MiniCM7-2.2.0) I also don't have problem with sync.

I tried to fix it by following that instructions, but I don't have "Calendar Storage".

Can someone give mi a hint how to deal with it?

ROM: NperiaBG 0.4 (installed in accordance with the instructions).

Kernel: nAa-11

CWM: v5.0.2.7

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetalNoob:
BUMP
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
Go back to MimiCM7. There's no point of being on it, its just another softmodded rom with no benefits at all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] espinete23:
Hi buddies, I wanted to ask, have you noticed if you in your ray the LED of the camera is like putting on more yellowish over time, nose I think mine is being degraded or something, because I see that part gives low light or less than you think to remember. anyone knows how to increase the intensity of the LED???

thanks, sorry for my english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarkMRL:
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Anyway, yes, the led on Ray is kinda yellow-ish compared to other leds. I have no idea why but it seems this is normal. Also, I tried 3 Rays, my first one, my second one after I broke the first one and got it replaced, and my friend's one, all 3 of them had a yellow tint in their led.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
When I use to unlock the phone, it would show me a animation of the current weather, just wondering what happen to that feature in ICS? It's not a critical thing but I always thought the weather animation was cool.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
you mean the live wallpaper in the background?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
It's a Rosie animaton. You need one of the Rosie clocks. Drag it to the top left corner to 'edit' it select your location then it will ask if you want full screen animation. Turn it on or off from there. If you want sound open the weather app in your drawer then select menu and you can find it in one of those options.

This will not work if you're using a de-sensed Rom.

Don't quote me on this...
[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
YAY lol I know its a simple thing but man it looks cool ;p Wish it had more animations though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
There's different animations but it depends on the weather. I like the rainy day animation with the windshield wipers..

Don't quote me on this...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaxcer:
What if I roll back my windows phone to version earlier than 7700? Would i then be avaliable to developer unlock - root my windows phone? i have seen the guide that uses chevron wp7 unlocking tool with chevron certificate installed on windows phone and later you just need to run chevronwp7.exe application on computer... Now, with build 8107 i cant, i tried it but i get error message about something phone not being connected to zune, or device is in lock-screen, but its not true... I have also seen forums on this topic, and other htc 7 trophy users said that going back to older version and installing chevron unlocked their phone and with an sideload app they managed to remain it unlocked even though they later updated to latest version of mango... Sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
After 6 months with this device I have lost faith. The lack of software fixes to issues that are important to me have caused me to become frustrated and abandon the device. Too bad. I thought it had potential. Goodbye RAZR forum. Thanks to those that assisted me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
So... you're selling it? How much?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mataraty:
Since the device is not completely oké I offer 50 Euro for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bleAf!:
If you don't mind me asking, I would just like to ask what sort of problems with the software were you having?

I'm in the market for a new phone and the Razr Maxx is on my list. So I'm still doing my research before pulling the trigger for a Maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Paddington:
I, too, am curious about what software issues you are having. The only software issue I have come across so far is compatibility with Google Voice, but that is solely a Verizon thing and applies to all VZW Android devices, and there is a relatively easy workaround.

I have been running Eclipse 1.3 since purchasing my Razr, however, and the Eclipse ROMs are known for being very stable and better than stock. This may be why I haven't come across any software issues.

Or, on the flip-side of that last comment, all of the custom ICS ROMs have known bugs. Are you running a custom ROM, or stock Moto?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddgarcia05:
I too am on the fence about buying a razr. I found one locally for 250 box and all. I won't lie I'm a little worried that I might not like it because lack of support. And after seeing this post I leaning towards not getting it. What didn't you like about it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
I would like to know what issues op is having as this its the best phone I have ever owned.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Paddington:
I second that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ezcats:
he probably means that there still isn't ics...which isn't really a big deal because of the easily installable leaks but...whatever..his loss
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Fantastic phone. 0 issues. Battery life is silly great. Couldn't be happier...would love a 0 shutter camera but its close enough...that's nit picking
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
I have a regular RAZR. To be frank this is my tipping point:

1. Bluetooth streaming sucks. This is a big deal to me. I have "stutters" when streaming music to my car stereo. It wasn't present with the Atrix I had before. I updated my deck's bluetooth firmware. No improvement. This likely a software radio fix required.

2. Bluetooth sound quality is tinny. Using my phone with a bluetooth device makes sound quality tinny. This got worse lately.

3. Lackluster battery life. This is a hardware limitation.

4. Poor wifi performance. This again is likely hardware.

5. ICS would be nice. But it isn't why i want to rid of it. It took up to 2 weeks ago to get an OTA to 2.36. That fix in my opinion improved nothing.

The Maxx addresses the battery concern i had. But it doesnt address my other concerns.

I honestly find this phone to be a step backwards from the Atrix it replaced. Too bad. This is a device that looks amazing. It just is too quirky for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DrSadistic:
Maybe it's just that device. My maxx is easily the best phone I've ever used. I've had none of the issues you've described. I can deal with the lack of ics for now because I have it on my tablet and gb is running just fine so far for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
Agreed. I can honestly say this is the best phone I've owned or seen. (Maxx, I wouldn't touch an OE Razr for any money)
