Here is my Q&A wrap-up for the past 8 hours or so..

swiss420, Here are answers to your questions:

We are planning to offer localized/translated versions of Recast at some point. We want to get the English version done and stable first, lock down the resources, then come back here to XDA and try to find some folks who can help us make the necessary changes to support the major languages and regions.

As for RAM usage, this is something we haven't gotten to just yet. We typically do an optimization pass toward the end of our beta cycle, just as we go to release candidate builds. Thanks for letting us know that we improved our memory footprint on your device.

The permissions that Recast is asking for are needed to touch all the different services and functions for the widget toggles, to get geolocations, to access the audio and vibration settings, and to connect to Google accounts. Trust me, if we don't need a permission we don't ask for it. We'll review this again before we go final but I think we're asking for what we must have in order to deliver a great experience.

dddrko, we are looking at a few ways to harmonize the weather + location checks. Wait for our next beta to see what we can do in this area.

gallery, we'll look into a few more 4x and 5x widget layouts, including a weather and clock together in a single layout.

Bobvark, the weather providers we use don't give us percentage chance of rain. We are investigating other weather providers for future releases.

Metallijim, support for wind chill and heat index (what Accuweather calls "Real Feel") are on our to-do list for a future version.

AndyCosmos, manual updates of both weather and location are on our to-do list. Hopefully we'll have a few options in the next beta release in this area.

Thanks for the feedback, folks! It's been a crazy few hours since the XDA review went up, so we're a bit slower to get back to people than we would like to be. Hang in there, we'll get to you as quickly as we can.

I'm glad you guys are blowing up.

[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
Finiarel01, thanks for the feedback. We thought we had the C/F and Imperial/Metric setting issue fixed in Beta 3. Can you supply us with some information so we can help troubleshoot your issue? Can you uninstall and re-install Recast beta 3, just to make sure you are on the latest version?

The version of Recast (in the about box)

Your device name, model, and manufacturer

The Android operating system version

The language and locale settings of your device

Your time zone and name of nearest city you are having problems with

If you can, please send a screenshot of the Recast page where the Time Zone is wrong (in the Recast, Settings, Locations view)

This should help us verify the issue and attempt to fix it. Thanks for your help in finding and fixing this issue. And thanks for the translation offer. We'll certainly talk again once we get through the beta process as we'd love to have some help making Recast available in native languages to more people!
[Android Apps and Games] mstroud:
chismay, our goal is to make Recast easy to use and good looking using just the built-in settings and widgets. There's nothing stopping you from using things just the way we provide them... but if you decide you want to customize things further we want to offer all the ways to do so easily and quickly.

Does anyone know how to make the number keys transparent on the lock screen?
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Just read that this summer all current Verizon users who are grandfathered into unlimited 3G will be forced to switch to tiered shared data plans. Exact words were "Verizon will have no problem making money" off the plans. I have been grandfathered to unlimited data. And not that I use a lot what I don't like is that the price of data is about to get considerably more expensive and I for one am already extremely unhappy with vz and this just further makes Mr want to tell Verizon to shove it up their a$$ when my contract ends next January. Thoughts anyone?

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/05/1...going-away-all-users-pushed-onto-shared-data/
[Xperia Play General] NeoandGeo:
Wow, guess I will be sticking with my Xperia Play for quite some time. My fiance has a Razr, so our 4G unlimited needs are covered. If Verizon is doing crap like this then they need to understand they are not a "telephony" service anymore. All I need is an IP address assigned to me and let me pay $5-$10 per GB I use per line.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
You already know I have something to say ;)

So far it claims that this wont effect 3g users until they upgrade to a 4g phone, I have an upgrade but I will not be using it EVER unless an xplay2 comes out ! Which could be never. But I had a feeling this would happen eventually. I seriously think the part about "making money off of data plans" is crap. They claim they want to push people into using more data, thats kinda crazy the actually claim this ya know. Like Gee thanks Verizon their basically saying " we cant wait to bank people on data plans"
[Xperia Play General] hatcyl:
I read about this.

They are doing away with unlimited, but they are introducing "shared data". I personally use about 200mb a month. So if they do 2GB for $30 SHARED (any phone and any tablet) then I'll be very happy.

I would prefer to use my smartphones without a data plan and only voice and wifi if I could do that.
[Xperia Play General] cell128:
So if we just buy on ebay used phones and swap sim cards we shouldn't be affected? They said you will be forced to tier "upon upgrading". The best thing to do is wait a few weeks before this goes into effect and but the best 4g phone they have and that will get you two more years of unlimited lte
[Xperia Play General] beez1717:
I think that Verizon is going to find out that they could have made more money if they had kept unlimited data and raised the price of data by a few dollars. As of right now, they are forcing many users to lower their data plan and use less data because it is all they can afford. This means that they won't get much more money than before and the customer will get less data overall. Is that what they really want? If they want people to move over to tiered then they need to start updating their phones on time or even at all, and go out and get the best phones on their network. That way people will want to upgrade because the new phone is irresistible.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
This move has me thinking when some sort of Xperia Play 2 maybe comes out I will just buy an unlocked one and go on AT&T who is getting way better, as long as they support unlocked phones on what will be 4GLTE by then. Hopefully I can get an unsubsidized plan, for cheaper, and I can tell Big Red to suck a fattie, on principal.
[Xperia Play General] savage24x:
There's one word to explain my emotions right now about this: f*ck. I use over 2GB a month with PDANet and Barnacle Tether. I need mah dataaaaaa!!!!
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
The only reason I'm still with verizon instead of, say, AT&T is because I've got unlimited data. I use AT&T uVerse for home internet, so I can get a wireless deal. If I'm going to be forced to pay for tiered data, then I'm going to go to the cheapest place that has it for the most data. Not sure if its AT&T or not, but I'm going to start looking.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
I have an unlocked r800a 4g that at&t said they would activate if I choose to leave Verizon (which they pushed me on while they had me on the phone :rolleyes: )

I agree. Its been a thought of mine for awhile now I guess. I love my Play and wouldn't mind a 4g one and At&t really isn't that bad. Verizon isnt "exactly" being a loyal provider ..

[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yeah I was with Cingular, then 2 months later they officially became AT&T, and was with them for 4 years, I had bought an unlocked phone after my contract phone died and stayed on a month to month plan, Then I moved to Utah where all my family is, moved so my kids can be around their cousins, and about 6 months here switched to VZ, bought a droid 2 global (f...u.... Moto) and noticed that my data speeds from AT&T were around 1-1.5mbps, VZ here is horrible. I have never gotten faster then 250kbps. This mixed with their bs pricing and lousy service, both hardware, and firmware related, and now the data tiered..... yup I am going to walk into a VZ store grab a VZ flyer stick it down my pants, wipe, and stick it on the door handle. Sorry for the rant, just have a lot of anger with VZ. I'm paying $30 a month for terrible data, I can barely do GPS sometimes. Rant done
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Att's "4G" Play isn't true 4G LTE. The next Play I'm sure will be but I've read rumors that ATT and others may not support unlocked phones on their 4G networks (which doesn't make sense at all, but I wouldn't be surprised). Guess we will see. We are 6 months to a year out from a new Play anyway, if it even happens.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I came across a relatively new in box with all material Xplay AT&T 4G for $189 with free shipping, even though I still have about 9 months to go thinking if snagging that for when the time comes I can just use it on AT&T. Thats the other reason I dont care for VZ, CDMA, cant do voice and data which is retarded (I know its how the CDMA works) Plus with an unlocked AT&T phone when the wife and I go to China to visit family I can use it there on a prepaid sim card in China.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Thats pretty funny though I say you go for it and then be run like hell outa there to nearest att store with the flyer ;)

But its still 4g.. certainly can't be slower then vz 3g right?

Yea att 4g play has some perks I must say!
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Supposedly ATT 3G is faster than Verizon 3G. Their "4G" right now is HSPA+ which is really more like 3.5G so its definitely faster. However the new 4G LTE, its like broadband speed. My Mother has a 4G LTE Droid Razr, its so fast that her data service is indistinguishable from WiFi from our cable connection.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Eh, the only reason that AT&T can do both voice and data at the same time is because of how their signal works. Those phones are always receiving two types of signal, so when you're on the phone, the data works at the same time, so long as you have adequate signal for that function.

Personally, the simultaneous voice and data isn't really a draw for me, as I can't think of when I'd ever need to use it. Besides that, it seems rude, at least to me, to be talking and surfing at the same time.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Oh . Well ty for the info! And my brother has a droid4 and vz 4glte is some quick stuff definitely!
[Xperia Play General] savage24x:
Verizon is only forcing you to a tiered plan when you get a new 3G or 4G phone. Otherwise, you can keep your unlimited data.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Until they change that to :p

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play General] NeoandGeo:
Do we have any idea when this will take effect, or just "sometime this summer"?
[Xperia Play General] savage24x:
They won't. That's a final statement.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
And you believe that?

It was also said when 4g came out users would not lose their unlimited during an upgrade... now we can see they clearly are changing that soon....that has changed what makes you think it and or something else won't change again.. and again after that

The contract says they reserve the right to change anything..(in more professional legal terms of course)

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
You will still be able to keep unlimited on 4G LTE, but they won't subsidize your phone, meaning you'll have to pay full price.

If you want a discount on your phone then you'll have to switch to a tiered plan.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Honestly, I don't really see a problem with them doing the whole subsidized versus not deal. After all, our friends across the pond don't have subsidized phones, they have to pay full price for them. Frankly, I think we have allowed our carriers (AT&T, etc) to have too much power over their consumers. We've moved away from the days of "the customer is always right" to being locked in to jumping through hoops just to keep things the way they were "promised."

They may not know it, but this move away from subsidized phones gives the potential for us to take more power from the carriers, such as demanding that they not put so much bloatware on, even to the point of demanding the ability to root and unlock bootloaders, given that the phones truly do belong to the user now, rather than being leased through the contract.

I say it may be inconvenient to have to pay for the phone completely upfront, but it will be better for us in the long run. Who's with me!?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
I refuse to pay full price for a phone thats locked down with bloatware and can't accept manufacturer updates. This would be a viable option if they did that.

There is a problem with that. Firstly they don't have an "unsubsidized" rate, yes I know the difference is you keep unlimited data, but if you think about it the rate you pay with them is higher because you're covering the cost of the phone. They however don't have a "lower" price should you either keep your phone, or pay full price for a new one.

That said I agree, I'd rather pay for the phone upfront and pay a lower rate. And not be strung up by the nuts as all these guys do. Its the "I gotta have it now" culture of the US that got us into this cell phone mess.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
Absolutely this. Being "on contract" is the thing that has removed power from the consumer and given it all to the provider. Owe them nothing except for the service they provide, and you can make all the demands you want. This is especially true if your hardware will work on multiple carriers. If a company does something you don't like, you have the freedom and hardware to take your money somewhere else.

We need to start an off contract movement. Reclaim our consumer rights from the telecoms.
[Xperia Play General] droidjunkie:
That has already happened, tracfone, pay as you go, simple talk, virgin, boost, etc etc. you want no contract get one of those phones.
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
You have always had the option to not be on a contract. You just have to pay full price for your phone...
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Only recently have the small/prepaid carriers been anywhere close to being able to compete with the contract carriers. Back when there was only Tracfone for prepaid, I preferred to have a monthly bill, which meant I was to switch to Verizon (no AT&T in my area). But since we've seen the release of the smartphones, and the data speeds to match, there's been an increase of competitors for the big four. I plan on sticking it out with Verizon to see if there's actually something to the shared data plans, but only now do I consider prepaid/small carriers to be actually viable alternatives.
[Xperia Play General] beez1717:
I am hoping that the phone companies get smart and realize that consumers are some time soon going to realize how much they are being taken advantage of and something will have to be done about it.
[Xperia Play General] spdsl:
The consumer is consuming data and smartphones like drug crazed addicts looking for a fix. As long we keep consuming, the dealers (telcos) have no reason to give us a break.
[Xperia Play General] 216Monster:
Well at least on Verizon they are honest. Sprint sells 4g LTE devices when they don't have LTE yet (they have six areas launching shortly lol.. Verizon has 250 LTE areas and At&T has 35 LTE areas) TMobile's 4g is very "inconsistent" with sometimes still only getting 100kbs a second (pathetic) .. and AT&T's iPhone 4s got an update that changed its 3g icon to say 4g (were they serious :p I guess its due to a technicality that they could do that but its not truly 4g)... I'll happily stick with Verizon, even though they make broken updates when they finally get around to it :rolleyes:

Hello I need help, I download the ICS Update, when is complete, it ask me if I want to install it, so I accept, then the phone turn off, and reset, then appear the white HTC screen and then a install bar, but immediately appear a Black Screen With a Danger Logo and an Android Next To it.... What is The Problem? What Can I Do??

I bought the phone from a Friend and I Think Is Root Can That Be The Problem? and There is another way I can Update My Phone?

Do you have a stock recovery or a custom recovery?
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
I Really don't know, because I only have like 1 week with this phone, how I know if I have that?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Just to be sure go to Settings/Power and make sure Fastboot is unchecked. either delete the file for the OTA or place it in a folder for right now. Then power of the device and power it back on but hold the volume down button down while it is powering on. When you see the options in the Hboot screen appear use the volume rocker to scroll to recovery and press power. Then post back here with what you see.
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
This it what it say:

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.0.8

-reboot system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-power off

-******Go Back******

[HTC Sensation] tony yayo:
You are definitely rooted. Dont think the ota will work for you. At least most of the work for installing a rom from XDA is probably already done. Time to start reading and reading and reading some more!
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You have a custom recovery, you have got to have the stock recovery to flash the OTA.
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
And How I do that? Stock recovery to flash the OTA?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Download the recovery from here and put it on the root of your SD card(not in a folder) and then boot into the Hboot by powering on the device while holding down the volume down button. When the Hboot appears it will search and find the PM58IMG.zip file and ask if you want to flash it, select yes and it will flash the stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
And the what I do with the ISC Update from T-mobile?
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
And now what I have to do with the OTA ISC download from T-mobile?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Oh dang I forgot about that lol. Take and move the file for the OTA update to a folder, I would just make a folder named update so it is easy to find again. Then flash the recovery file, reboot to the OS and delete the recovery file and move the OTA update back to the root of your SD card and then boot into the bootloader again to let it flash the OTA update.
[HTC Sensation] JimmyDX809:
the recovery file is the link you gave to me before? because I do it I flash memory, the I back to phone and delete the File, and move the OTA T-mobile ISC Download to the sd card (not in a folder) but nothing happen. :/
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Sorry for the lag in my response right now, I am at work. For me and others to help you better please go to Settings/About Phone/Software information and post back here what you see there. Also post all of what is under the More option as well, this info will help others to know what you can do to flash the official OTA. But if you are not concerened with keeping all your apps and settings after you flash the OTA you can always flash the RUU to go back completely stock and then re download the update and let it flash. But please wait until I or someone else has s chance to look at your software information first and reply to you in this thread before you try to run the RUU. As I said I am at work now bit when I get off I will check back here and see what I can do for you.

Ok it looks like you ate on the stock ROM right now. Now after you flashed the stock recovery, did you try to flash the OTA the same way as you flashed the recovery file? Also have you tried opening the OTA file with a file explorer?

Also it is safe for you to use the RUU if you want to, th will for sure let you re download the update and flash it with no problem.
