[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It doesn't have to be the cable that came with the phone, it just has to be a real cable. A lot of cables that come with chargers will only work to charge a device, because only the power pins are connected fully (but all the pins are there)

This idea of an "extra pin" is widespread, but rediculous...there are four pins on the computer side so there can only be 4 pins connected on the other side. The 5th pin on to the device side was for a special cable that was identical on both ends that was never utilized on the real world. I don't even know where the cable that came with my Charge is anymore, but I have 4 cables that work. Just make sure it isn't one that came with a charger.

Amazon is going to start selling adspace on there Kindle's now that they have sold millions. If you are using the default rom, you will start to see intrusive and annoying ad's. It would also make sense they may lock the boot loader for the ad to appear for a full two months.
[Kindle Fire General] chris_m128:
If this is true, I really don't have a problem with this.
[Kindle Fire General] dferrey:
Never mind - I didn't read the OP very well. :o

Now, I've read it. I'm also okay with this. Mostly cause I'll just put another rom on it ;)

My wife, who will have one some day, currently has a Kindle eReader with ad's and doesn't have an issue with them.
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
ill never see this so called ad.
[Kindle Fire General] Jessical:
It will be for the Special Offers version. That, and maybe for those that want to opt in in exchange for a $40 Amazon gift certificate.
[Kindle Fire General] goshjosh:
Thank goodness for Non stock roms!!:D:D
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Will people get to buy it at a discount like other ad supported kindles? If yes, that would be a bonus for this community.

Lol ICS. Never going to see these ads. :D

If they do this, I hope they do it soon. I'm ready for a 2nd Fire and I don't want to spend $199 nor $150+ for a used one.
[Kindle Fire General] Kheladu:
I don't think it is actually for kindle fire because they have deployed it on their regular ereaders at a discounted price. However I think amazon still reserves the right to display them. Glad I am running gederom.

Guys with wives that are not tech savvy know what I am talking about. I need something super stable for my wife's KF to keep her from wanting to buy an ipad. Are any of the ROMs super stable? I prefer ICS but will settle for GB.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YayILikePie:
I find that the CM7 Barebones ROM is incredibly stable, though volume control could be improved. It just works well and has a much better run time than the ICS ROMs I've come across, not to mention the minimalist approach. Install only what you need and nothing more.

I've also hear good things about modaco, if you want to stick with Amazon's basic layout but want Google play access.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoingle:
Thanks bro. Any more opinions??

I will 2nd gedeROM. It is a good ICS experience. Battery life leaves a little to be desired (although I still get 15 hours of life out of it).

I will 2nd the CM7 as a solid experience with much better performance (can sleep for hours and wake up 99-100% battery) and less bugs.

I guess I just like ICS since I am willing to put up with these little inconveniences for the experience.

To those in Europe/Asia who have played with how is it versus Siri? I'm contemplating buying it this summer if its Quad-core
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Awesome:
GSMArena actually made a video on this.

I think the S-Voice does decently.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAwUdhxzmF4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECrispy:
The only sure way is to ask Siri. Or S-Voice :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Sir... it is quad core. :)

Unless you're in USA and you got to get the 4G LTE version with Snapdragon S4.

Or order it online and get international version with Exynos.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omersak:
I'd say both are equally useless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] furt890:
I agree, it's a gimmick, sure it's nice but why talk to the phone when you can just do it in 1 or 2 taps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funb0b:
Agreed, but looking forward to shouting "SNOOZE" ya bar steward, at it in the Morning :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harise100:
I'm skeptical:

If I want to make fun of my friends with their i**** I say "ask siri what the weather is like in fuerteventura"

If the iSheep does, siri answers after an eternity "I don't know":D

an eternity later it she says "Shall I look for you on the internet?"

if you say "yes", you end up with a picture of the island.:confused:

Then I take my SGS2, say "weather fuerteventura" in google voice search and seconds later the brower opens with the usual weather graphic.:D:p

The iSheeps say it's because it's the german version of siri. But I say BS!

We'll see....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rovex:
Watching someone trying to get siri to work in a noisy cafe or street is very amusing, they look like such idiots.

They would rather spend 5 minutes trying to get the stupid phone to understand them than actually do it themselves in 5 seconds by tapping the screen a few times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
S-voice does much worse in that video "The joker are taking a fat?" although, of course, this is only the english version.

Thing is, though, as others have pointed out, both do pretty badly in real life. Voice commands are little more than a marketing gimmick right now, good only for performing basic tasks or showing off. Indeed, there's a class action lawsuit on Siri for being portrayed as more effective than she really is.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KapWorldDevp2:
S-voice and Siri both works exactly same kind. But S3 has more advance features than iPhone 4S. So for now S3 is better, but iPhone 5 will come that can change the whole phone market.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
Iphone 5 will come out and disenfranchise all the fanboys because the apple snake no longer has its spiritual head ruling the design process with an iron fist.

We will see i guess, totally not expecting magic though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zisworg:
So S-voice requires a data connection as well? It'd be bad :(

I read somewhere that you can take a shot with S-voice: it could be fun and useful. It replaces a remote control if it properly works! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
The camera has voice shoot anyway, Samsung disappoint repackaging vlingo, relaunching it, then saying it is new........that's bad practise! :eek:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
I actually look forward to this too, but I'm going to make the snooze function react to the word "poopypants", because wouldn't that just be great? With the SGS3, "poopypants" can be the first word you say every day, setting the tone for the rest of your day AND annoying the hell out of the wife after a while as an added bonus!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
On another thread someone has already confirmed it does nothing without a connection even when its a local request like opening an app.

As to voice control I like it when it can go directly to something that would otherwise take multiple clicks or drilling into menus. Like in my car I can push one button and say "play the Rolling Stones" and it gets it every time. Nice and easy, no drilling into menus, no muss, no fuss. I could also say "temperature, 72 degrees" and it will turn the temp up to 72 but I never do. Its easier to just reach over and spin the knob. The same would be true of the phone. Rather than open the player, scroll to the music, select it, it would be a saving to just name that band and have it playing. On the other hand I'm not sure why I would ask for the weather when I can just tap the screen once and I got it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintball23456:
there both crap :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Like 75% of people who will own this phone, I will never use the voice features, they have always been bad, and I have never been able to find a use for it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaktoast:
Okay, I have a PLAY 4G that I got from AT&T so it's an 800at. Used it with AT&T for about a month, canceled, got the unlock code form them. Switched to T-Mobile prepaid $50 plan, used it for around 5 months. A few months into T-mobile I rooted it with Super One Click, everything was fine. Now a few months later my signal to T-mobile started cutting in and out 2 days ago. After about an hour or two of losing the network it finally never came back. I did all the standards, resetting, popping battery in and out, etc. Still didn't work with T-mobile, tried SIM in another phone, it works fine. Also got a new SIM from T-Mobile, no difference. Unrooted phone with Super One Click and no difference, did all the resets and battery in and out. Still won't work with or even see T-Mobile. Put an active AT&T SIM in and it works fine! So it seems the phones hardware is fine and the SIM is fine. My last hope is I have a software/firmware problem. One thing that's weird is after the master reset the Home button stopped working and when the joypad is slid out it doesn't switch automatically to games. Phone always says "Emergency Calls Only". Please help, I'm running out of idea's.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRudolph:
I do believe APN's are the problem.

Had to deal with the same thing when I switched to straight talk.

Game stuff and the home button seems like a software issue.

Reflash 2.3.3 stock for AT&T phones. Should be fine after you reset the APNs
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaktoast:
Still Stumped

Thank you for your input, I deleted my T-Mobile APN and re-entered it, and it's still not finding the network. I've been wanting to reflash the original firmware back on. Do you know if I have to unlock the bootloader to do that? I was going to try a different ROM but my warranty is still in effect for 6 more months. I'm thinking reflashing the original ROM shouldn't need the bootloader unlocked. I also need to find the original ROM to reflash it with. Is it safe to reflash a generic Xperia PLAY ROM instead of AT&T bloatwares ROM?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I would use flashtool to reflash the AT&T ftf, then just manually input the APN settings for T-Mobile. That should do the trick. IF you try and still a no go I would unroot and soo about a warranty replacement.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
You already voided your warranty when you rooted..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leots:
Can they know that you had rooted it if you unroot it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I may be wrong but I thought that if you ftf back to stock they will not necessarily be able to se you have rooted your phone? As its fresh out of the box firmware....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Yes, but only if you bring it in to them or send it away to get fixed

No, flashing an ftf file still holds root and it evident.You can unroot, then reroot if need be,but personally I've never unrooted
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaktoast:
Thanks for all the input everyone!

Thank you for all the responses, I will try flashtool this evening and report back what I get. In terms of root, my research has led me to believe that rooting/unrooting is undetectable. But unlocking the bootloader cannot be covered up, Sony has records of all bootloader activity. But I could be wrong, just tossing in my two pennies.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaktoast:
It's fixed!

I used flashtool and reflashed the original software back to the phone and it's good as new again. Thank you everyone for your input! I wish I could tell you what caused the problem, but I'm happy I could at least relay what the fix was.

Forget ICS here comes Jelly Bean:

http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_d...ampaign=Feed:+LifeOfAndroid+(Life+of+Android)

Talk about getting shafted.......
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TPizzle:
You know what that means.... We'll be getting ICS soon!!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Lets hope so
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kable:
That is why I buy a new phone every 6 months or less. Although ironically my last 2 phones already have ICS available ( Sensation and Note ) and I am now on HC. :eek:

However, Ever since I bought the G1 on launch day the endless cycle of a newer Android version around the corner has been an issue to many.

My thoughts are.. Buy a phone that you like for the features that it has when you buy it and be happy with it. If it gets updated great, if not.. You still have a phone that you like.

Also, Odds are If JellyBean does indeed come out this year it would probably only be available on Google phones to start since they are going back to selling unlocked phones again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] om0:
it will atleast be 18 months before jelly bean hits our tablets ( if it ever will)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TPizzle:
I agree 100% with your thoughts about choice of phone/tablet to get. But in today's world where cell phone tech is advancing quicker than anything else, we all crave to get the latest and best of whats out there... Even though it will be updated in a matter of months (Galaxy Nexus to HTC One X is a good example). With that said I sure hope most of you guys bought this tablet with the state of mind: "This is great! I love it!" instead of "This WILL be great! I will love it then!".

Now there are expectations about companies bringing updates to support their product in terms of software (WE WANT ICS!!!). But I'll go back to what I've been saying for a bit now, its Samsung guys. They don't have the best track record for software updates and I don't believe that will change anytime soon.

Guys, i really need your help!

I've been searching my ass off on these forums to find a solution to my problem, but i can't seem to find one.

I have a Kaiser120 (T-Mobile, Netherlands) device.

I got it from a friend of mine, but the phone was locked to T-Mobile, so i unlocked the device, and flashed it with this ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618767

The ROM works perfectly.

However, i have no device sound over the loudspeakers (i know for a fact that they actually work, so it's not a hardware problem).

So i started searching the forums on how to solve this problem, and almost every answer leads me to the ultimate radio thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=393182

I've been trying most of the radio's, but none of them seemed to fix my problem.

they didn't cause any other problems either, but that doesn't get me anywhere.

I can't seem to find out what radio is 100% compatible with my device / ROM, and i'm stuck at this point.

Would you please be so kind to point me to the right radio for my device and ROM?

I was thinking, i believe my kaiser was shipped with a wm5 / wm6 rom.

would/could it cause trouble when i flash it with a wm6.5 rom?

Also, would you please not just refer me to another thread with some vague answer? I really need a concrete solution to my problem.

I know you are not my personal army, but i can't seem to figure it out myself.

Many thanks in advance!

ps, i know this is rather a question than any other topic, but i don't know where my question should be posted otherwise.

Feel free to move my topic to the right place.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sirocyl:
I had a similar issue. It's likely a hardware problem. Is your side jogwheel and/or some keys acting weird too?

If that's the case, you might need to replace the jogwheel/loudspeaker board assembly.

Does sound come out of the headphone jack on the ExtUSB connector? Or the earpiece on the phone?

Also, this would generally go in the Q/A or General boards of the device, but I didn't see your post there, only in the Android and WM boards.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bcnobel:
thank you for your reply,

but no, it's not a hardware problem.

the jogwheel works, and all hardware buttons work too.

the loudspeaker used to work before the flash, so my guess is it's probably a radio issue, since i've tried another WM6.5 rom too, and it had the same problem, so the rom is for like 80% ruled out.

i have no headphones for this phone, because this isn't a regular jack output, and a mini-jack / mini-mini-jack switch is kinda hard to find here in the netherlands. as is a mini-usb audio output.

I can make a regular call over the phone ear piece though, so i'm guessing that there shouldn't be any problems with the jack output either.

as for the Q/A or general boars, i'm fairly new to these forums, so i'm kinda still trying to find my way around.

my post in the android forum was a mistake, i was honesly thinking i was posting in this section, but later found out that i wasn't.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sirocyl:
Ah, okay, I see.

If you're certain it's a software problem, you could try removing HardSPL and reverting to a stock RUU which contains a radio and OS, and possibly the SPL as well.

Then it's a matter of redoing the HSPL, SuperCID, unlocking and whatever else.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bcnobel:
so basically i need to try to flash back to the supplied rom, radio and spl?

i'll have a go at that.

i didn't flash the new rom because i so eagerly wanted to run WM6.5, so there's no harm in downgrading for me.

thanks for the tip, and i'll post my results tomorrow.

EDIT:

nothing i try is working. not the downgrade, not the radio version changes, nothing...

Since there is no solution to my problems, assuming they are software problems,

i'm starting to doubt whether they are actually hardware problems.

Since i don't feel like replacing any hardware because i have 3 other HTC devices,

i decided to give up and start using my Hermes again.

Still, thank you for your replies.
