[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I would like to start a petition for Sony to release the latest sources for Xperia PLAY to the community. I am disappointed by the news but I completely understand and agree. The gamepad is the major reason for this phone and by developers not updating their games to ICS caused all sorts of stability issues.

So I figure for now lets see if we can get the sources and let the XDA devs have a grand old time picking it apart and seeing what awesome goodness they can do with it!

ICS is nice eye candy and I for one found better results on GB then ICS, probably becuase I am on CDMA. But still I would love for everyone to have the option of using some custom ROMs sourced from the latest sources. Everyone who is game (pun) please sign below if you agree. And PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ON THIS THREAD. This thread is about looking positive, moving on and hoping for the best. This phone is still awesome an I still absolutely love my device.

Also there is a poll, choose whether or not you want the sources.

So again.................

*****PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN ON THIS THREAD*****

***Just noticed right before i finished this post there was another post for a petition, did not mean to make a double post, but this post also has a POLL. Everyone please use the POLL in addition to signing below. Thank you****

As SuperNoodles2011 has made a poll on the Official Sony Forum. (Thank you SuperNoodles2011)

talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38157?tstart=0

ANY POST THAT IS NEGATIVE TOWARDS SONY WILL BE DELETED AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED BY A MOD, THIS THREAD IS FOR ASKING SONY TO RELEASE THE SOURCES IN A POSITIVE WAY, NEGATIVE COMMENTS WILL NOT MOTIVATE SONY TO WANT TO HELP
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Sony, thank you for your efforts with ICS for our phone. I would like to respectfully request though that the latest ICS sources be released to the Android community to let those who choose to conitnue with, that they may do so.
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
And if possible, allow us to help you find a solution to improve overall user experience, and push for a later ICS release.
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
i made a thread about this already but its np but inside my post is a link to a request on the official sony forums so feel free to take the link from that and post it in this thread and also write on that post saying you want it :)
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Thank you....
[Xperia Play General] faisaldante:
sony please release the sources for the community here
[Xperia Play General] TDMaster:
if sources would be released i am sure that developers could release a better Rom then sony themself since sony puts so much BS on their Stock rom that not nessacry
[Xperia Play General] shocito:
IMO If we won't get the official update, I think Sony must give us a chance between stay in the latest official Gingerbread rom or install an official custom ICS rom under our own risk.
[Xperia Play General] leots:
I want them to release the sources too! I understand their decision but at least they should give us their latest sources :(
[Xperia Play General] aitmanga:
I understand Sony's decision and thank them for giving us a Beta to test ICS on our devices. But I would love to see what xda-developers could do with our phone having the latest source code.
[Xperia Play General] cyrusalmighty:
SONY: If you want to give up then it's fine, Just give us the latest sources as I hope there was some progress made after the beta was released. We have some great Devs that can do a lot with whatever has been done so far. As you may know this is a major disappointment to the Xperia play owners so at least give us a shot. It's really not too much to ask.
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
in theory they MUST have some newer ROM for possible bug fixes they have tryed so lets hope we get it :)
[Xperia Play General] mulllen666:
the only reason sony gave us the beta was to confirm what they already thought: ICS on the PLAY is too much effort.

Give us the source code (especially for the touchpads). Open source means open source
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
i found this rather interesting this post

http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/197288#197288

States that not only will ALL 2011 xperia phones get ICS but they "PROMISE" we will get it

so as they cant promise us a working ICS lets hope we get the latest Rom source
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
the Xperia Play is as powerful as the Xperia arc.
[Xperia Play General] supernoodles2011:
my point exactly ... i dont care about the gaming aspect of my phone anymore i hardly use it for that.. and i cant afford a new phone with the same kind or performance or even better :/ i hope they honor there customers i really do

Meanwhile if everyone could use the link in the first post to make your views on it and help show sony we need the ROMS brought here id appreciate it ALOT
[Xperia Play General] devguy22:
I also would like Sony to release the sources for their ICS implementation, assuming they'll refuse to release an official ROM. But I'm not holding my breath. Sony isn't exactly the most open company out there (when Ericsson's share was bought out, I immediately knew I made a mistake having bought this phone).

Well, live and learn [and don't buy Sony].
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
As I have stated in my first post, PLEASE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS, this is NOT for complaining. This thread is for being positive and respectfully asking Sony for the sources of our phone. Please either re-word your post or I will have a mod remove it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animeware:
Called simply the N8000, this knock-off runs Android 4.0.3 on a dual-core MTK6575 processor at 1GHz, a PowerVR SGX531 250M GPU chip, and 512MB of RAM. The 5" capacitive touchscreen here has a resolution of 800x480, compared to the Note's 5.3", 1280x800 display.

Internal storage is rated at 4GB, expandable through an SDHC Micro SD card slot. And the whole shebang comes equipped with - oddly enough - a Russian GPS unit (GLONASS), a TV antenna that works in China (stowed away in the slot originally meant for the Note's S stylus; this doesn't come with a stylus), 8-megapixel back-facing camera, 0.3-megapixel front-facing, a 2500 mAh lithium ion battery, and two SIM slots - one for CDMA, the other GSM.

Dimensions are at 144x79x8.9mm. Although this is just slightly smaller than the Note's 146.9x83x9.7mm, Akiba PC Watch says that most people will not be able to tell the two apart at first glance. Or at first hold, for that matter; like the Note, the N8000 weighs approximately 178g.

Unless, of course, your first glance is from the back - a bold-faced logo that reads "Android" appears where it says "Samsung" on the Note's back cover. Why the makers didn't go all the way with spoofing the Note, we'll never know. Maybe they were proud of their handiwork and didn't really want to call it a Samsung.

One other key visual difference: the headphone jack here is at the top, instead of at the bottom for the Samsung smartphone.

Hell then you should just go buy a used streak has about the same stats at least then you'd have a decent set of roms a name brand and all for a decent price.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Hi,

My problem is that the connection on the bottom of the phone are kind of broke.

Sometime the phone thinks it's charging when it's not and sometime the connecter dosen't work at all :confused:

So my question is if it's possible to flash or install stock Rom/lock boot-loaders from the phone so i don't have to connect it to the PC.

Is that possible? Because i want to send it back to Samsung for repair.

P.S I can't check the stats on the phone. Like boot loaders and stuff like that because i got the phone to charge now. And i don't want to change anything because then it might stop charge. I Can write the specs in a cupple of hours.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Don't think so....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You should be able to flash a stock ROM, but there is no way to re-lock the bootloader with connecting to a computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Hmm okay. But I can get it to connect to the pc. But it will take a lot of tries. But if i get it to connect to the pc just ones? Is it possible then? or do I have to reconnect it and stuff a lot for it to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you can get it to connect once, you can do everything without unplugging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Okay nice!

Btw it's an GSM nexus and I want to flash 4.0.2

I check GNex TOOLKIT and you can relock your bootloaders with that. So my question is now. Where can i find stock rom so samsung don't know that i change anything?

Btw thanks for all your help so far! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
From here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Thanks you very much! You awesome :D

Lol the recaptch i got when i made this post was warranty. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Hmm. I got the phone to connect and I can see the serial number In gnex tool. But when I boot the phone to fastboot then the phone gets lost????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Its prob a driver issue. Did you install the fastboot driver? I've never used the toolkit. You can also have a look at the "flash" link in my sig
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Okay But I can't fix this now. Got to go. I will check that and try to fix it and post how it went tomorrow :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Ye :3 it worked. Thanks! Reflash stock rom and recovery and relocked bootloaders. Thanks!

Hmm didn't know that it wiped the hole phone when i locked the bootloaders :/ Lost my titanium backup :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Re-locking the bootloader does not wipe. But if you flash the data partition of a stock ROM, it will wipe. Did you check out the link in my thread? All instructions AND warnings are in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Ye i did check it but i didn't read it so serious :/ So i missed that it wipe the phone when you flash the data partition of a stock ROM. But I think it's really strange that it wipe everything? It removed everything on my phone. Not only to rom and that. It wipe the sd card(Bad word but you understand) :(

I just read the "topic" on your thread. It said "Backup your data" and i thought ye i have everything backed up on titanium so I don't have to read this part :/

Oh well i got a backup from 20 days back so not a huge deal :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm pretty sure my guide says to back up your data OFF of your device. The /sdcard on a GNex is nothing more than a folder on the userdata partition: /data/media. So when you erase the entire userdata partition (which contains /data) with the fastboot flash command, it will certainly erase /data/media.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julllleee:
Oh it does, I just diden't read the post serious so i missed it :/ But no big deal :3 Btw thanks for the help. will send it back to samsung now, Thanks! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] convolution:
sounds to me you are using a non samsung usb cable. try buying an official one and using it.

Anyone have or have used the Tough Case after the revision by casemate? I want this case for my phone but haven't seen any reviews on the updated version. Also can anyone confirm that it can be used with the GSM extended battery (2000 mah)? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kapetan:
I've got mine 4 days ago... What can I say:

Fantastic material, good build quality and nice touch. It really looks good on phone and give nice feeling while I am holding the phone. Yes, it gets little "bulky" (can't easily put phone into the pocket and take it out....) but, I am pretty sure that the phone is protected very well now and that's most important :) It gives nice grip and no chance of accidentally drop down...

Issues:

There was a little issue with power button that doesn't fit nice and it needs few hours/day to "settle in" but now it's okay... No similar problems with volume buttons. Actually now I don't need to put "force" on power button, just nice soft touch and it works.

Also, when I type something in landscape position the lower keys on keyboard are little hard to press quickly because the rubber is almost 2-2.5mm higher than display surface... But it's really not a issue that serious. :)

No problems with any other holes on case, camera/flash works well, speaker also... usb and headphone jack can be used normally..

I'm really pleased with case

I can take some pictures if u want 'cause it looks little different on phone than on web...

Any other questions? :)

p.s If u decide to buy it, go on amazon/ebay to save almost half of the case mate.com price :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
I would love some pics... Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kapetan:
Here we go:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Thanks man. I think I'll give this case a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2044343:
What is the revision about? Changes between old and new??

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haesslich:
As listed elsewhere, the revision opened up the USB port area and added a hole for the back mic.

I'm using the the white one now. It's not too bulky, and the buttons are easy to operate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
Also have one. The revision consists of more accurate cut outs & a mic cutout on the top of the battery door. This is by far my favorite case out of the 10 that I picked up. Very high quality material, great grip & durability. Top notch protection.

Sent from my i9250 (GSM) Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
I think that's the revision for the POP case. Since you are referring to the white one and the tough case doesn't come in white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Does it fit with the 2000 mah battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Haesslich:
I misread "Tough" as "Pop". Whoops. Looks like they fixed the cutout at the bottom on this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrodsep:
Does anyone know if it fits with the 2000 mah battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doritos Bandito:
How bad does it attract lint?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
I got mine last week. No issues with lint, although I am not sure I understand how lint could stick to it. the outside shell is a hard plastic, with an inner rubber shell.

The one thing that I am not happy about is the ox screen protector is being rubbed by the case, causing bubbles; but that is more an issue with the protector & not the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Doritos Bandito:
Oh I thought the silicone was over the hard plastic!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KevinAlbrecht:
Nope. cusion is on the inside, with the protective shell covering it.

Help please.

My display bricked today after phone falling me down. I don't see anything on my phone display now. I have installed a rom with standard USB mass storage, but can't anymore see and touch the option to activate internal USB storage.

Is there any possibility to read internal storage otherwise with connection from PC ??

thanks for any tip

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curodot:
Go to recovery mode. Wait a few seconds to make sure you are already using recovery mode.

Press volume up 4 times. It will lead you to mounts and storage.

Press volume up 2 times. 'mount USB storage'

Well, I'm not too sure about the second step because I'm not currently on siyah. :o
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirotech:
It don't works. Any other idea ??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
adb may work if you had it turned on. If not, it may work from recovery.

a mhl cable would also work to make a tv your screen but then you will likely find that if the screen is broken that touch input is not working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
1. Download and instal program "Android Commander" onto a Windows PC.

2. Boot into recovery

3. Connect to PC with USB & allow drivers to instal

4. Run Android Commander and view / modify / copy all files emmc, sdcard etc to PC directory.

;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrr:
Hey guys!

Just a curiosity.

I see some Wifi tethering apps in the Play store. They need the phone to be rooted.

What's the difference between using those and the one that comes with Android (just going to Settings - Mobile Networks - Tethering)?

Maybe some phones have the default option blocked? But since you need to root anyway, wouldn't it be enough to use the internal tethering present on Android?

Thank you

Hi, I signed up just to post this. My aunt got me a htc one v from Singapore a couple of days back, without warranty from a trusted shop. Anyway when I rotate the phone, the letter 'h' doesn't work on the horizontal keypad. So I sent the phone back, hoping for an exchange. Have you found a solution to your problem?
[HTC One V] sweetbloodofall:
luckily i had d bill went to d delear he told me to get a DOA copy from HTC service centre and i got my cell replaced !!!!
[HTC One V] RaceAce:
Hi,

I had the same problem with my phone. I got it exchanged.

The real problem was that a narrow vertical band on the touch screen was not responsive. You can check this by installing the touch screen tester app.

I think there is a full batch with this defect.
[HTC One V] new to android:
Good for you :) And I'm sorry, but what is a DOA?
[HTC One V] RaceAce:
A DOA is when the service center certifies that you handset is defective. After this the dealer/retailer should give you a replacement.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jeycob:
Hi , im thinking about to buy a Asus eee pad transformer/prime , can't decide. :P

and i saw aloooot of reviews and stuff like themes if you root it.

For an example , metro Ui , And Xbox dashboard theme, ive been looking for something to look alike windows.

There are alot of things that makes me want to buy this tablet.

For an example (the primary thing) open it up superfast Open the web browser or check mails really easy and to watch movies.

But since i saw you can also root it and make it play Modern combat 3 with mouse

or just without rooting it play With a xbox360 gamepad.

Sorry got off-topic :P

But anyways im requesting any theme looking like windows (NOT METRO UI) <

the main reason im not going to upgrade to win8 when it comes, unless you can disable it.

Or otherwise a Mac theme , Or anything to make it really look like a notebook in the home :P

Im not a android user now but ive had a android phone before i broke it.

Thank you in advance : D!

In the release preview how? I hate the metro look on a pc.

There is an app for the phones called launcher 7 but it does not work on tablets, maybe u want to search the play store and ask the creator to make it for tablets too.

Secondly, you could also use splash top to make it look like windows too!

yes, going all the way back to Win8 Developer Preview

Yeah I seen this but not for the release preview, I had to set up a scheduler to bypass it when the pc starts. and use an app to make a start button
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bdawg31:
For real? I bet if the registry does not allow switching modes out-of-the-box, adding the key or string from the developer preview would fix the problem after reboot.
