Since it is posted, I no longer need testers. You are all the testers now lol! Please report any bugs in this thread so we know.

Very nice build. I'm surprised nobody is really leaving feedback. This just became my daily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bfitz26:
It seemed very laggy for me on last nights build will try this one tommarrow thanks for options :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
Thanks for the feedback. There were a lot of code merges made between today's and yesterday's builds. Some were kernel fixes and some were specific to the toroplus. This may be why it was laggy yesterday and not today. CM10 and jellybean are both in very early development and Google has not posted the toroplus binaries yet. It will get better! This is bone stock CM10 and will stay that way. When CM10 nightlies start being official, you can seamlessly switch between ours and theirs without a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Awesome thank you :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] housry23:
No problem. CM10 is coming along nicely!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I knw u don't really wanna mess around much with what cm puts out, but is there a way to raise the headset volume a bit? It seems a lil low to me. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordrune10:
maybe.. at the very least it will happen eventually x.x

There's official cm10 nightlies for toroplus? Where?!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abellimz:
Hi all. I have a random question. Why is android criticized for its fragmentation but not windows.

Doesnt windows pc come with so much more different hardware Configurations?

How do developers do it for windows then?

:confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipo123:
lol...

IMHO The main problem is that despite the numerous configurations of PCs the OS is always the same. Unique to all/everybody no matter the hardware.

The differences are solved using custom Drivers for the HW (usually from the manufacturer) but that does not change the OS.

But with Android, there is not a "unique/universal" version that works on every hardware. It is modded by every hardware manufacturer/implementer.

Starting from the "root version (official android release)" Drivers are usually integrated to the OS. Also many Mods by each developer. So, in the end you get a "customized" version of the original. And so the so called "fragmentation"

This is one of the main advantages/deficiencies of open source. You are not tied/limited by a closed source OS, but in the other end, you have lots of variation of the same software.

Just a few random thoughts ... :)

Have fun

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
So my area is scheduled to get 4g the 17th but I had a few questions about 4g...

First of all how do you tell if you have a bad lte radio? Does it just not connect to 4g or does it do something else? I've been testing to see if I got it yet everyday and it hasn't popped up even once yet so I'm not sure if I might have a bad 4g radio or not

Second of all how long does it take for 4g to pop up after switching to cdma/LTE? does it usually connect to 3g first or just go to 4g?

And thirdly if I have a poor 3g signal (says about 80-90 dbm but my 3g speeds are usually around 200-400 kbps), does it tend to carry over to 4g? (just as in slower speeds than if you have a decent 4g signal)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moonkae:
Hello.

To answer your question about the lte radio... If you aren't sure if your area has 4g and are trying to test by turning it on or off I think your best bet would probably be to ask someone else (who has a 4g phone) if they are obtaining the network. If possible, you could go somewhere you know for certain has 4g (if theres anywhere remotely close) and try it there. I doubt you have a bad radio if your 3g signal is working, have you flashed any roms or are you running stock? If you think the radio is bad you could always try and flash the most recent ones.

The time it takes to switch from cdma to cdma/LTE is almost instant. When you do so your blue 3g bars disappear and it turns grey. After no more than 5 or 10 seconds it will connect to 4g (if its available) and display the blue bars. If you're in an area with both 3g and 4g the phone will automatically connect to the 4g first if it can.

In my personal experience I've noticed that if you're in an area with bad 3g reception the 4g will be about the same give or take a little. I also believe that even if you have poor 3g and 4g the LTE will still have a higher data transfer rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for...I know a couple places not too far that have 4g for certain, and as for comparing to other 4g phones to see if they have 4g I can probably just check the local Verizon store

I'm definitely hoping for at least 5 mbps download for LTE speed, which I'm sure is fairly easy to get, I can't stand average 3g speeds of 100-500 kbps and maybe 1 mbps if I'm lucky

I'm supposed to be getting 4g officially here tomorrow so hopefully it all works

Thanks again
[EVO 4G General] drewmonge:
Just came across this article that Google will be releasing not one, but up to five official Nexus devices sporting the new Jelly Bean 5.0 before the end of the year.

http://thedroidguy.com/2012/05/goog...w-android-5-0-on-five-different-nexus-devices

My question is, if I were to upgrade right now to the current Galaxy Nexus, do you think it will still be relevant enough to see a Jelly Bean update? Or will the Galaxy Nexus be old news by then? Should I wait and see what Google releases before upgrading? I just don't want to invest in a phone that will be considered outdated before the end of the year.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Nexus line usually gets at the very least one major OS update so it would be safe to say the gNex will see jellybean although it may be a little behind the newly released devices to help push their sales up prior to upgrading the older handsets
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
And it is great!!! A lovely complement to the S. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Nice :)

Do you plan on getting the whole family? or stopping at the P and the S?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
Can you post any pictures? :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nemer12:
why did u buy sony P, isn't it weaker then SONY XPERIA S??

resolution, hardware, camera, etc..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
Weaker yes, but better looking!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nemer12:
where s the big difference??

U mean like the P is good looking bcause the smaller size ??

I find both Sony xperia S/P the same, the both look very very cool!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
Xperia P is made entirely of 1 unibody piece of aluminium..... :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LitoNi:
do you have the death grip?

according to xperia blog . . .

http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/05/15/xperia-p-affected-by-death-grip-issue/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chompiz:
The "death grip" is not an issue.

Had my phone since friday and no matter how much i try i cant replicate it.

At most it drops one bar and if thats a "death grip" every phone ive ever had suffers from the "death grip"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
You must never forget that beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

You should never be absolutist when talking about looks but temper things by adding " in my opinion".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 6E 65 76 69 6E:
I'd like to hear about the battery life (of course after a days usage!).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ste71m:
I'd like to hear about yellow\green tint problem when on max brightness
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
The same things goes for specifications. One person doesn't care about it and others do.

Excuse me for not including ''in my humble opinion'' :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chompiz:
Yellow turns in to slightly green on full brightness.

But if you use full brightness you dont get the benifit of Whitemagic so personaly i dont see the point of using full brightness on Xperia P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] draugaz:
Why not? Is the white magic not supposed to make the display brighter with less powerful backight?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
Not so at all. Beauty is subjective while power is absolute.

Many will argue that the X10 is a better looking device than the galaxy s2 but only a fool will argue that it's faster.

To say you don't need the power is another thing entirely and not remotely related to the point in question.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rashkae:
Will do once I'm done molesting it. It just feels great, more solid, and in a way feels better "thought out" than my S.

No death grip issue - just maybe 1 bar drop in signal when I hold it, which other phones also have.

I find 100% brightness to be too bright anyway!

Yes, whitemagic works great, the screen is brighter at lower power, so you don't need to crank it up to "Men In Black Memory Wipe" levels to get a great image.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chompiz:
Whitemagic works using auto brightness and you need to disable that to get full brightness everytime.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
No yellow tint i take it?? Oops...i see yellow tint has been mentioned already.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnubisNefer:
And the important of specs to one is subjective, while the importance of the beauty to someone can be opbjective.

We can talk in circles here for hours, but the point is, i don't like being told ''what to do''.

This is a international forum, if one simply forgets to add ''in my opinion'', don't get so ''gradual'' about it, that's all i'm sayin.

It's true about beauty=subjective / specs=absolute, but different people, different things what they find important. No one is debatting about the differences between specs between PHONE A or PHONE B.

ONTOPIC,

would love to see those pictures fast! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ste71m:
Thanks for the reply. I just checked and no update available here in Italy

Which firmware build do you have?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] o>c:
I plugged my phone into an external battery with 2A output, got a speedy charge.

This phone uses a li-polymer battery, which can be charged at any time, I wonder if its charge cycle is similar to the Xperia S, and the method of calibrating the battery to optimal performance can also be applied to the Xperia P.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

6.0.B.1.564

In previous post it was said a newer version is available
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ste71m:
What should be the calibration method for S?

It's a pity to have such a small battery.

In an italian forum users performed some test about drain.

1 hour with screen on drained 7%, half of GS1

I think also standby and 3g is good.

But just replying a post drained 2%. Quite strange, maybe some software is not optimized
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gizzmoffm:
That's actually really good, that means a total of 14 hours screen on time.

I'D expect something lik 20% with 1 hour screen on time.

Im definitely not getting the Xperia P then. That was one of the main reasons I wanted one.

I wonder if Sony is still going to release the Xperia Ion dock or if they are gonna cancel that too.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 6E 65 76 69 6E:
Doesn't it give a battery low warning?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rayraven:
I got a Xperia P just about a week ago and I'm impressed with it.

The battery seems to be improving as i use it, as it barely lasted 15 hours with average usage on the first day.

But today, with nearly 5 hours of music with some fruit ninja and calls thrown in, i am still @ 40% left.

I suppose the battery needs some conditioning before it works at its peak.

For what it's worth, i did set it to GSM only and switched on power save mode of automatic brightness [the normal mode is just too bright indoors imo]

@SirRobin78,

I get the usual android battery low warning when it drops to 15%, have you tried a factory reset?

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] o>c:
I remember when the first android phone G1 is out, its tiny 1150mah battery drops like counting down, but with software updates and tweaked roms, it managed to get reasonable battery life.

When I was reading about USB cables solely for charging, I came across an app called battery monitor widget, it shows the output of the USB cable when charging, estimates the actual mah of the battery, and maybe the calibration function could give a more accurate measurement of battery level, I don't know much about electricity, how about giving it a try?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
There is a battery low warning but i´m missing the "shut down" window known from my xperia arc.

Maybe this could be a bug, in a german forum (android-hilfe.de) there are lot of other posts about this...

Xperia P

Hello,

What is that somebody would have the Rom stock Sony 6.0. European B.1.564 FW? Not operator.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kevinclint:
Well sad part being from the day I've bought the phone I'm visiting a client company where camera phones arent allowed. So im not really using my Xperia P yet. :(

Used it for the first day though. It lasted around 15hrs with around 2 and a half hrs of calls and around 3 hrs of display time. No browsing or wifi though.

I moved on from a Samsung Star, so everything about this is a part of Pros for me.

Cons,

- No HDMI cable supplied

- Loud speaker volume isnt all that great for MP3 listening. (I dont really use that though

Still need to use it for a while though.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rufusj89:
well Techradar have given it 4/5 and stated the following cons:

Sloppy front camera

Scratch-prone body

Poor multi-tabbed browsing

Stiff camera button

Fiddly micro SIM holder

Lets see now..

Sloppy front camera: Will rarely use ! Occasional skype but I have a laptop for that. :)

Poor Multi Tabbed browsing: Surely Dolphin HD would be a work around ?! :D

Stiff Camera button: Faced this isse with the SXS & Arc S as well. Oh well atleast its there. :p

Fiddly Micro Sim holder ?! First time I've heard of such an issue ?! :(

And last but not the least ! Scratch-prone body : seriously guys ? The review doesnt mention the metal nibody but seems to indicate a plasticky build :confused:

PS: They dont mention any battery issues thus far. It doesnt seem to be a dealbreaker as far as the major reviews are concerned :o
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
I wonder when 576 becomes available for me as well, I'm on the same build as you are.

I'm actually using the application, and it told me my battery mAh was 1500 out of the box. But in the settings it told me to change it to my "real" battery capacity, which is 1305 mAh, so I did. I don't really understand what the app does really, to be honest, haha.

Well I get it every time my phone turns off when it's on 0% of my battery life. I think it's a bug in your customization.

You just have to tap it, then a pinpoint will show up. Don't hold it like you might be used to on an iPhone. I wasn't able to do it at first either, but now that I figured it out it's easy. By the way, download Dolphin Browser HD from the Play store, it's much better than the stock browser.

@ Rufusj89 above me: 100% agree. Those are cons just because every phone needs cons, they can't get away with putting up a review of a phone without cons :D.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gizzmoffm:
From the first page:

this is fine

maybe because of the

?

After all, it got some nice verdict at the end...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Maybe this is the problem, but what can i do to fix this bug?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
Wait and hope for a firmware update that fixes it, or flash it to another one that has been uploaded somewhere.

Or, like somebody else suggested, reset to factory settings.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rayraven:
I never really cared about Tech Radar's reviews, but this is just too bad even for them.

Scratch prone body? The guy seems to think it has a plastic construction, do these people even use the phone before writing a review?

As for the camera button, i find very good.

The Verge has the below to say about it:

The stock browser is okayish at best, but i've replaced it with Opera and its miles better.

Besides, once we get ICS, Chrome should be available as well.

I dont even know what he refers to a micro sim holder, as the P has a slot and no removable holder.

The Verge has a much more sensible review:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
GSMArena's battery test gives disastrous results, it's the lowest score I have ever seen. :(

It is true the xperia P is the brightest phone at 50% but if you look at the numbers the difference isnt very huge, it's only at a third of it's maximum brightness at 50%. And regardless the whitemagic technology is supposed to be power saving, doesnt seem like so.

Even the talk time is one of the worst which has nothing to do with screen brightness. Really disappointed not getting this phone.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Yup. :mad:

And the saddest part is that it was purely a cost cutting measure and not a design limitation. The xperia P is not the slimmest phone ever it could easily house a way bigger battery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
Well the upcominf firmware updates probably will improve battery life ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hornet331:
Which means pretty much nothing, look at 5 different tests and you will see 5 different results.

swedriod has the P beat the S the One X, its the same with the death grip, tired every possible grip shown in reviews and I can't reproduce it at all.

Will it be a handset that sets records in battery life time, for sure not, but it definitely also will be not the worse.

What I have noticed so far is that, when you let the xperia run with wlan/data connection on, it sips kind a lot of juice, when you disable it it needs next to nothing. Seems there are a lot of services in the background that always hold the data connection open while not transferring anything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
They only do a video test and that in flight mode which is not how gsmarena does. With network connection the smaller battery would deplete faster.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] piercewei:
i have been with xp for a while and i am very happy with the battery life. it is just as good as Arc.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rufusj89:
I am a typical user.Not going to be expecting anything stellar in terms of battery life.

A couple of hours of calls at max. Constant connection via 2G/WiFi and on the rare occasion 3G.Perhaps an hour or so of Music/Videos and occasional casual gaming.(Read fruit ninja/Temple Run and maybe something heavier during off days).Most importantly data connection will be on 24x7 with mail,social media syncing.

I was hoping to get a battery life in the range of 18-20 or so hours! Is that asking too much :(
