No matter what I do I cannot send videos via mms!! Even if they're less than ten seconds long. Anyone have the same issue? Im just surprised that the messages app doesn't automatically compress the video like it does for pictures. Even with email, the files just are too big and don't automatically compress. Really sucks because this was super simple and easy to do on my iPhone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
Compress that kind of video on a modern quad core PCs will take significant amount of time. Your phone isn't powerful enough to do it even for iPhone. On iPhone, AT&T let it to send MMS video of any size. All other non-iPhones have to live with the size limit AT&T imposes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] broseph23:
Not powerful enough? Then how Is it that an iPhone can compress a 3 minute 720p video no problem?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mgfjd:
That's not true. Iphone compresses the video to the limit before sending it. if you ask me the quality and visibility are worthless. Bottom line.. MMS is not make to send videos. Use YouTube or the cloud.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] foxbat121:
Did you miss the point that iphone does not have mms size limit?
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
I've had my photon since October. I've been an avid HTC fan until I picked up this phone. Sold I was. I've never looked back.

However, I really like the new evo lte. I have serious problems when it comes to new toys that are easy to obtain with something as simple as the swipe of magical plastic.

That being said...

My theory on Motorola and the rumored Photon Q is as follows;

Motorola has said, according to an article on either engadget or AC, that the quad core Tegra 3 with lte will be ready Q4. The fall CTIA is October 9th - 11th. I'm gonna say we will either see an event a week before or an event at CTIA in October. Things just seem to be coming together like a good game of tetris.

Now I really don't wanna burn and uograde when I'm expecting to see something amazing from Motorola. I'm also betting Motorola picks up the ubuntu project which I also think will be shown off in October.

That's a lot of speculation... Lol

So, I'm thinking I'm gonna keep the photon and buy a dock and a keyboard and a mouse and hook it up to this 73inch monster sitting in my living room. Only problem with that is the reviews saying that webtop just sucks a big set.

Questions...

Is webtop that bad?

Is it worth it for somebody who might find it useful?

Is all the functions of the device still there? Text and calls and what not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
Webtop sucks. Useless. Has really specific use case scenarios and very, very little beyond that. Good news is Moto know this, and have made some head way towards fixing it with the new ICS webtop on the RAZR, which will presumably be included on the Photon's ICS update. It's basically the ICS tablet interface with properly scaled apps and a separate home screen layout from the phone. Quite cool.

Tegra 3 is ****e, though, and I can't imagine the LTE variant will be any better. Snapdragon S4 trounces it in very meaningful ways like browser performance, battery life, and audio quality. I desperately wish the international/open market One X had S4 instead of Tegra 3 (Though I still wouldn't buy it because the One X has no SD slot... Whereas the Evo LTE does). If I had the option, you bet I'd buy the Evo LTE over whatever Moto churns out at the end of this year. Next year, under Google, Moto might have a shot - and open bootloaders. This year I for one have been burned enough.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
Well what is webtop good for? What specific uses?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Useless if you are locked but if you unlock it has near unlimited potential. ICS Webtop on the other hand is a joke and is a move in the wrong direction. ICS Webtop should be an extension of "Mirroring Mode" and Moto should replace the current Webtop with a proper desktop environment. If Ubuntu and I can run a proper desktop environment on an Atrix/Photon why the hell can't Motorola. Here's a write up as to why stock Webtop and ICS Webtop are full of fail.
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
Wow, they are moving backwards
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
Citrix web apps. And if you use it for work, and your company has a draconian device policy that makes it easier to authorise one device and use it on multiple screens rather than actually use a laptop.

Apologies for neglecting the Ubuntop/Webtop Plus dev. Have yet to try it thanks to being stuck on locked Moto devices myself. Looks great, and I can think of many more uses for a full Linux distro in my pocket.

I actually like what they're doing with the new webtop, though I wish it was more powerful and could run the phone apps in a window like the old webtop. There's a lot of merit in taking advantage of Android's built in scaling, and having a separate UI with widgets and so on for larger screens is a great idea.

Ultimately I wish webtop was ChromeOS, since that would make the most sense from a Google product and service consolidation perspective.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Looks like tegra 3 won't be out till 2013
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
tegra 3 is out now, tegra 3 + (lte support wont be out til late this year, the phones are already being made and software tested. ALL the high end sprint phones will have s4 chips this year.
[Motorola Photon 4G] vitaminjay1982:
I'd be ok with a quad core S4 like that lg superphone is rumored to have.

So with webtop just blowing chunks, can you get ubuntu to run on a stock photon that's locked? Or is unlocking mandatory?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i really doubt it will have the quad core, sprint isnt gunna one up the evo a few months after by having such a much nicer phone.

and ubuntu isnt even out yet so its not possible at all right now
[Motorola Photon 4G] srkelley:
Like Loki said, his Ubuntop makes webtop into a beast. Your performance will compare with the original netbooks in some ways, but in another it just makes your device infinitely more versatile than just a netbook. Even if you don't extend webtop, basically imagine a Chromebook that uses Firefox instead of Chrome. The only other native application would be the Cell phone window that lets you use your cell phone in an IM like form.

It's not all bad, it's a heck of a lot better for nothing. Before I changed webtop I mostly read webcomics, social sites and used Google Docs. After Lokifish's improvements I now have Bluefish, Abiword, Gnumeric, a real desktop experience that doesn't sacrifice anything from the phone. It is only too awesome to have your phone move seamlessly from being a handset to a miniature computer without any skips in calls or text messages. Since I chose to integrate Google Voice I can text from the web without anyone being the wiser.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Ubuntu actually being a full fledged mobile os is pure speculation right now unless I'm missing recent news. Canotical was vague on the subject. It very well could be talking about some sort of official webtop-esk support.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mikeyy109:
You can play xbox 360 games on Android. The cloud gaming app Onlive let's u do this, they've added touch screen support for a couple of xbox games and it supports an xbox 360 controller through usb otg to play the games they haven't added touch screen for but in order to do that ur phone needs to support using the controller, there's an app for it if your rom/kernel supports it. Apparently ISC does but I can't get it working. It sees the controller and knows it's there but won't use it. People have done it but I can't find out out and I don't fancy trying all the roms to see which ones do :/

WiiMotes via bluetooth and PS3 controllers via USB OTG working perfectly however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kalin96:
So i dropped my skyrocket in water, imediately pulled out the battery then put the phone under a hairdryer. The phone works fine when the battery is above about 30% but when its under that **sometimes** it freezes and shuts off then turns back on. But that only happens sometimes. When you go into the camera it flashes, when you exit it flashes and when you click the front facing camera the flash stays on.

I contact att and i have insurance on it but i have to pay $199 for a brand new when i payed $149 when i got it. So i am definently not doing that. Everything about the phone works fine except for the freezes and the flash so i can deal with it. But my question is if i were to sell it, how much should i ask for it? OR, is there anything i could possibly do to make it work 100%?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Why didn't you leave it alone and put it in rice for a few days? A new screen is about $150
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kalin96:
cause my dad said,"we are going to eat that rice!! You can't use that." So I had to improvise. How would a new screen help? The screen is fine...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Sorry to tell you but it will never be 100%. The damage has been done.

You should've put it in rice or gotten someone else to do it, tell your dad how much it will cost to replace the phone and remind him that the price or rice is still very low (don't do that).

Your best bet at this time is to find a sketchy place that will replace the water damage sticker to make it seem like it was never water damaged and then brick it and then ask for a replacement from AT&T.

Well seem i was the only making skyrocket to swim hehe bad joke. Well pal seems the skyrocket motherboard has some wayter inside. I got kinda same issue when mine got wet but i managed to fix it. Ya need to disamble the unic carefully get out the board. Buy a bottle of isopropyl alcohol 91 or 100%. Use a continer fill it with the isopropil alcohol and drop the board on it leave it for 15 mins then take it out let it dry for 10 mins and put the board in rice for one day. Essamble it back and good luck.

P.S. English not my natal language

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Juicy555:
45$ is way to low , thats even low if the phone was completely not working.

Its not a completely huge deal, if you were to sell it on ebay I would start at 175, and try again lower if it doesnt sell.

So would you have any reccomendations of sketchy places to use? I have rooted and unrooted this a couple of times but how would i brick it? If i were to do this and just say i dont know whats wrong with it, would they be able to tell i tried rooting it, voiding my warranty, and still give me a free replacement?

Also i bought a new srock battery for it but it doesnt have an indicator. Do you know anywhere i can get one from?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahausrath:
Don't do this, you have a huge risk of popping a cap or shorting a transistor with your hand. The boards are extremely static sensitive. Not to mention that will literally do nothing. If you had a dirty phone this may help, but water damage shorts circuits together and burns everything in its path.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
The place will be local, not somewhere you can ship. If you wanna brick it then load the international s2 ROM on there. It will brick nice and fast :-)

The carrier usually checks for water and physical damage before giving you a replacement though so that's why I said get the film changed.

Sent from my I727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kalin96:
When i brick it they will still check for water damage. So how do i make it seem it doesnt have water damage, atleast so i can get a replacement.

And change what film?

To avoid all this, will i just be better off selling it and use that money towards the new skyrocket?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
The phone has a water sensitive film which changes color when it comes in contact with water. This is how they know it's water damaged (doesn't sound fancy I know). So basically you have to go around town to all the little cell phone stores and see which one is willing to change the film. Nobody is going to advertise this because of the legality issues so you're gonna have to do this in person.

Once the film is changed then you can go ahead and get a replacement.

If this isn't your cup of tea then you're better off selling right away and getting a new one.

[HTC One S] b8drf:
Question to the experienced Dev's on this One-S forum - what do you think are the chances of achieving S-OFF for the One-S in addition to the Unlocked bootloader ?

I remember S-OFF took a little while for the HTC Desire platform and was wondering if you felt it was just a matter of time before someone figured a way for the One-S or have HTC locked us out permanently ?

I enjoy the freedom of loading Custom ROMs with the unlocked bootloader, but to be stuck on the original shipped baseband/radio feels like we are handcuffed using devices that we own!

Thoughts appreciated...
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
Not a dev, but, sure we will. Got it on the N1 months ago--

This thread may help you get the newer radio--haven't read all of it though--
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
S-OFF will come !!! I know it will..

There are several people on these forums with a S-OFF One S already !! but they came shipped like that, either by fault or a developer phone...

All we need is some dumps from them and a lot of time and patience and we will be there.... I make it sound easy lol..........its not !
[HTC One S] setzer715:
Seems like a PIA to me, but according to this thread (and following the very long, very detailed How-To) you can flash a radio.

As for S-Off, who knows. I haven't seen or read anywhere that anyone is working on that.
[HTC One S] greenkabbage:
That thread does not detail how to flash a radio. It simply is a tutorial for reverting to 1.53 Stock so the OTA can update the radio. If we could flash radios, we could probably flash one with the security bit flipped and have a true S-OFF. Alas, we're far from it...
[HTC One S] setzer715:
Yeah, didn't read all the steps. Another PIA way is flash the RUU with that Radio, then root and flash the ROM you want. Sorry, without S-Off guess we're SOL.
[HTC Sensation] mm_david_mm:
Hello!

Some days ago, I've seen here that with ICS we can do a full backup without root, and the backup is saved on a computer. Yes, I know MyBackup and Titanium backup, but I want to try this.

So, I've tried this way, and it seem that all is fine... But 2 hours later from starting the process, my Sensation restarts... I've cheched the generated file size and it's 3'63GB.

The question is, has finished the backup correctly and, by some reason it restarts the phone, or the backup has failed?

Someone had this issue?

I don't want to trying flashing another ROM, and, when I will try to restore the data, ADB says me that the file is corrupt, or, directly, erase my data if I try now...

I've a free-operator Spanish Sensation, S-OFF and stock ICS ROM (3.32.401.1), but rooted.

Thanks for reading, even considering my English :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
Incorrect, the prime charges fine over USB, as long as it is USB 3, my laptop charges the prime just fine.

USB 2 and previous do not output the power needed to charge the prime, the prime needs at least 11.1 volts to charge, the adapter puts out 15 when connected to a USB 3 cord, but a perfect 5 volts when connected to a USB 2 cord, so your phone is fine to charge on that charger as well.

As for connecting to the computer, check out Samba network fileshare.

It works perfectly for browsing, there is even a hack to allow you to browse your root directory as well if you have root.

However natively it only connects as a media device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] holmern:
Thanks for the replies!

Well that sucks big time.. transferring movies over WiFi takes for eeeeeeeeeeever. Can't believe it's not supported as external file storage. Oh well.. get my dock tomorrow. Should simplify things I hope.

I guess you can't connect the dock to a PC to transfer either?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
That is correct, the dock adds no special abilities.

Use an SD card adapter, put the car in your computer and transfer that way, as fast as it can possibly get.

You can also use AirDroid (free on Play Store) to manage your files. But it's through Wi-fi.

Btw: my TF201 is rooted. I don't know if it make a difference.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RottingOgre:
That's not true. Like pnoire stated, you can get your TF201 to be recognized as a media storage device. And also like you, when I first tried to connect my new TF201 to my pc, it wasn't even detected as plugged in. After a few tries, I figured maybe that USB port was bad as I've known it be kind of bad from time to time. So I tried a different port. This time my pc detected it as being connected but then it was listed as "Unknown device" under Device Manager. After some Googling and searching the forums, I ran across the thread about the Universal Naked Driver Beta in the development forum and it mentioning that some USB drivers for some Android devices conflicting with others. Since I had installed the Samsung USB drivers for my Samsung phone, I thought maybe that's what was causing the problem. I proceeded to uninstall the Samsung USB drivers and then retried connecting my TF201. Sure enough, my PC detected it again and proceeded automatically install the drivers it found from searching the internet and VOILA! My TF201 is now a working media storage device displaying both the internal sdcard and my microSD card I put in it.

Long story short, try uninstalling any other Android USB drivers for any other Android devices you might've installed earlier. Sometimes the only way of uninstalling the drivers is to first connect that device to your PC and uninstalling the drivers while viewing the device in Device Manager.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnPoppers:
I'm not entirely sure how much help this will be but I had the exact same problem as the OP when I got my prime 2 months ago. I looked everywhere and found a solution although unfortunately I couldn't find the solution again after just trying to link you to it. Go to the device manager and find your prime listed as an MTP device. right click and go to properties. I'm pretty fuzzy on this so bear with me. You should have an option to select driver from a list. click that option and you'll have a ton a driver options to select. Look for the driver called something like "Universal MTP..." and install that. I was able to browse all internal storage on my prime after I did that and it would auto-connect like any other USB device once I plugged in the prime there after. Good luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] markh5:
I don't know if this will help or not, but when I tried with mine it wasn't recognized either. So after trying a couple of times I tried wiggling the usb end of the cable going into the PC and bingo it shows up as "Transformer Prime TF201" and I can transfer files no problem.
