I think it's been on sale in Japan for a while. I guess it'll need to be sold cheap in the UK to be a popular modding phone, it's not sold here (yet?). The 800mhz ARMv6 version isn't a big upgrade from the original blade, they shouldn't have bothered. If they could've supplied the ARMv7 Blade 2 as the San Francisco 2 / T-mobile Vivacity in the UK before last Christmas, it'd have been a winner. Now it's too late, they've lost this race, hopefully they can release something special before next Christmas.

You should be able to pick up 2nd hand high end phones from around 2 years ago for not much more & they're probably better. I bought a 2nd hand Samsung i9000, it has flawless CM9 & everything else I want in a smartphone.
[Blade General] anshullrocks:
the Blade II they are selling is the real blade II(1ghz armv7,a lot better than armv6) while the zte crescent is actually zte Blade S(not II) which has 800mhz armv6 processor.

So go for Blade II(arm v7 1 ghz processor) as its lot better than

crescent(blade S) as blade II has a newer fater and more supported processor(more apps will work on it).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeebbr:
So i've been looking around for a perental control application to restrict web surfing from porn and violence but wasnt able to find something that even tries to do so.. Is it possible that android doesn't have one?

Does anyone knows of such app? paid apps oviously works.

It doesnt have to be tracked or anything, just something that blocks types of content.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeebbr:
not exactly what i looked for

thank for the answer!

there's also k9 browser that can provide the same feature but i really rather use the mini boat browser that i love so much..

and anyway its kinda sucks that it always depend on specific browsers and not as a general app that control the smartphone..

anyone got another suggetions?

I'm thinking in buy this smartphone I like it a lot and has a good price, buuuut I'm disappointed with the problems it has with its housing... Anyone knows if Sony Ericcson has fixed this problem in the new distributions of the ARC S or are they still having this issue?
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
I don't think there was any permanent solution to that problem.

The problem is cosmetic and doesn't affect the functioning of the phone.

Arc S housing

So far, after about two months my housing is holding up well, I did have an Arc and it did have the tiny crack at the top, but it was so small it never bothered me.
[Xperia Arc General] maliceomalice:
Using it for 7 months now, not a crack. Mine is black in colour
[Xperia Arc General] alhar:
If i take it i'll take the black or midnight blue color because if it gets cracked I guess it will be hard to see.

Then the crack only affects to the appearance and not to the performance?
[Xperia Arc General] xtacy!:
Yup, there's no detrimental effect to performance.
[Xperia Arc General] malih16:
I'm using a black arc S since February, and I've even accidentally dropped the phone several times, there's scratches from the drop, but no cracks (yet, hopefully never). For the price of arc S, you might want to consider newer dual-core phones, like the Xperia P.
[Xperia Arc General] alhar:
Yes, I like Xperia P but for the price of the ARC S? ARC S is 270€ in amazon and Xperia P is almost 100€ more.

And i'm reading problems in the performance of Xperia P with the battery, with the bottom LED, with the screen colours...
[Xperia Arc General] malih16:
I see, well if you're set on the arc S, then why not, I'm using it and loving it, no complains here.

It's just that if I'm going to get a new phone these days, I'd be looking for a phone with at least 1GB RAM and Dual Core CPU.
[Xperia Arc General] ^eLipS#:
Don't buy this phone, you'll regret it!

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
As you probably know, we just got our first full ICS leak, even though it was for the me865. I am not going to comment on how useful it would be for the rest of us other than it will not flash correctly so don't try. All the devs here are pulling it apart to see what can be used.

It is extremely important that everyone is checking cheesecake as much as possible!!!!!

our biggest hope is that we can pull a leak from the US servers with ICS and/or an unlocked bootloader. See the stickied bootloader unlock thread for more info. I am working on an app/ other way to automate the process even more so that it can be checked more often as the updates will only stay available for a short period of time.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Been checking like crazy for the past few hours. :D

Seems as though most of the "QA" servers are down, as of right now. Or is it me?

Also, I did get a "Your device is up to date." message off of master-qa500.blurdev.com

Maybe that's something to keep our eye on possibly? :confused:

EDIT: seems like most of the servers are down. Still checking though. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Yeah if you get the "setup wifi" message the server is down. If you get your device is up to date the server is up but nothing is on it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Good to know. Thank you kind sir.

EDIT: Noob question about cheesecake, will it screw up my ability to get normal OTA updates? Since obviously it changes the server my phone looks on for updates?
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
If you switch back to the "Production"..."master-blur.svcmot.com" server, that should be back to the regular server that it would otherwise normally check. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Also, Jim mentioned a way to use something like Tasker to help automate this as well. If farshad525hou makes an automated app, that would be awesome. In the meantime, does anyone know how to get Tasker to do that? Perhaps I'll send Jim a PM to see if he could put a little description of how it's done. That way people (myself included) will have less of an excuse to be checking the servers :).
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
I would love to have a how to for tasker. I can't seem to grasp it....
[Motorola Atrix 2] smgulsby:
I work nights here on the east coast. I can run an automated process all night long just need to know how.
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
i would like to help u guys since i have much free time....but what is this cheescake thing all about???
[Motorola Atrix 2] matt99017d:
It checks the motorola servers for software updates.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Washburned:
I also would like to ask for some tip how to get that tasker do it's magic on cheesecake ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
I pm'd Jim last night and he said he'll work on a quick "how-to" for the Tasker automated Cheesecake (is there anything this guy can't do?!). He hopes to make a thread sometime today.
[Motorola Atrix 2] GaganPla:
is this a application??
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
see the bootloader unlock thread
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Good cause I got it last night and the whole thing looks rather confusing, lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
The first update has been found today but keep checking.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
yep were working hard on it as we speak. hold off on flashing till we have more info. you could hardbrick
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Wait, what? When? I've seen no posts about it?

Either way that's great! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
look at the dev section. we probably almost crashed XDA going crazy replying to stuff. it has slowed down as we are all dsecting it for stuff.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
yea i am going to decompile what i can when i get home..... Thinking in the next few days to weeks there will be something more stable usable (us att branded) to come off the servers..... correct me if i am wrong first leak china now this is asia next should be usa.....:cool:
[Motorola Atrix 2] RyanPatrick:
I've been checking cheesecake about every two hours since I got to work this morning. Haven't found anything yet but I have noticed more servers being active since this morning.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
same, lots of servers have been up lately. chances are motorola knows we are doing this and are trying to be careful about what they put up.

Note to motorola if you are reading. none of this would have to happen if you just kept stuff open source. that's all we want is the ability to mod stuff
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You should now expect your cease and desist letter in the mail soon.... :D

I have 3 now, each for a different thing, and they are spread out over a six month period. I just ignore them... my lawyer says they are bull pucky, and that the worst they can do is sue me for $$, in civil court... over release of non public code/property... at most 5K, if they really can prove it. I was told that since this is all based off of "opensource" there is only so much they can do, and most of the time, it is not worth the court costs and lawyer fees to do anything about it.

I also have 1 from apple, when I had the first iphone in the 1.02 days, I was part of the rooting effort, and jailbreaking and allowing of apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
It's not Like I have done anything illegal yet even. I would never release it publicly even if I got it...
[Motorola Atrix 2] NAB4:
lol @ 1.02 days. Thanks for your efforts. You're like the elder statesman around here. BTW, this is probably the most civil forum on XDA. I was trying to get some assistance on the atrix 4g forum and I was scurried along like an orphan. The A2 is a great device and very underrated, so glad it's getting some much needed attention.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I was joking... What they are looking at me for, was kexec, and a couple of other things I did early on with this phone to bypass the bootloader security checks, as well as working with hascode to get our safestrap version. All of those have some part of their security broken in them.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
well, I would never do anything like that :rolleyes:

do they not realize that their sales would go crazy if they just full supported the open source community. Like WTF Motorola, do you not understand the point of android, ITS OPEN SOURCE. I miss the days of manufactures posting info on how to hack their products. :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
It is not only Moto. It is the carriers mostly. The carriers hold all the cards in this game of poker.

What Samsung and HTC have done is allow users to unlock the bootloader, but they put a count on how many times the sbf, or fxz, or odin, is used, to restore the stock ROM, and you get no support, or warranty after the first time that happens.

With motorola, you can flash all you want and no one cares, I know I have had 4 replacements, do to my hacking of this device. My Samsungs, I could never keep the replacements under 10. My HTCs however, NEVER EVER, needed a replacement, not any of the 10 or so HTC phones that I have had, and they were all unlockable.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
True. It really is sad that the open source community can be so screwed by this stuff though.

off topic, and idea Why I cant flash te recovery image from the fxz without getting a validation failure, system went just fine, but now I have no stock recovery and i have to choose normal boot each time,
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Try to do it manually with moto-fastboot... if that fails try to replace the devtree file with the one from your last flas attempt..... ie the mearet if you attempted that...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b4u2:
I just switched from Sprint 3G to Verizon 4G LTE. I was really hoping for a big improvement. I "kinda" got what I wanted except in the one place I am at the most....work. I spend 9-12 hours a day at work in a factory and the Verizon signal just barley makes it where I sit all day. I basically don't get 4G unless I go outside. Sprint was killing me with 20Kbps download speed and I got tired of it. Now I may be stuck in the same with Verizon. On the bright side Verizon does work very well outside of my work, unlike Sprint.

I did install a custom rom with latest updates. Android Revolution 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
What's the question?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
You're worried about data speeds inside a factory?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b4u2:
More of a comment. I thought 4G would work better than 3G. I sit at a desk in the factory. So yes I'm concerned about data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
because of the frequency, LTE is worse inside buildings if i remember correctly.

the good news, your 3g is faster than sprint by a long shot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
It's the nature of the beast. In many factories, you're going to run into quite a few things that are going to impair RF transmissions. Some frequency bands may propagate better than others, but you need to bear in mind that it's already a suboptimal environment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Sprint LTE, yes. Verizon LTE is on the 700mhz band.. so it should be better in buildings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It still has trouble with building penetration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Oh I believe it, but *theoretically* it should be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I wonder if they can crank up the power to overcome that? I know little about cell tower tech.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I don't know much either, but I doubt they would do anything about it unless there's a profit involved ;)

I guess they could have "supercharged" service for more money haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Bite your tongue!

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dave_k605:
Being at work.....doesn't that mean you should not be using your phone for personal use? I know everybody does it but too many people abuse the time clock.....

that being said, maybe you should not be bummed that your phone doesn't work at crazy speeds, this way you can be great full for the job you keep in this tough economy.

Not trying to sound like a d!ck but complaints like this are really unneeded and undeserving.

dont u get like 1 month try out. maybe give Tmobile a go. I get 6-7Mbps inside my condo complex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
14 days if you don't want to be locked in via contract.

Domiciles tend to be less shielded than factories.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ballarous:
Only solution I could suggest is to use wifi calling if you have wifi at your work place. Thats what I do since I have no reception at all in my cubicle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Verizon doesn't do wifi calling. That said, I think the poster has a data issue, not a voice signal issue (they are separate for us).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dave_k605:
I'm with Verizon, I have no issue at all making calls on wifi...maybe you mean something else

Sent from my SCH-I500
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Wifi calling is when your cell signal routes through your wifi ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parter28:
You would probably get a much better signal with the RAZR. I was getting 2 bar of 4G LTE in my basement, where my Galaxy Nexus could barely keep a 3G signal. Unfortunately the radios on the Galaxy Nexus suck, so that may have something to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Also AOSP devices show data signal......
[Galaxy S III General] Noxis:
On previous phones I've not had a problem setting it up. I always connect to my work Google account using Exchange rather than Gmail. The reason being is that it searches the contacts when writing an email (damn handy!).

On the S3 it keeps claiming failure to connect to server, all the settings are identical to my Xperia S that connects just fine.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
Hey guys when I play music over my phone speaker using Poweramp, the sounds goes in and out, it gets to the normal volume level then almost like a ghost is turning my phone down then it will come right back to normal and it does it constantly. When I use the stock player using the phone speaker its just fine. Just wondering if anybody else is having this problem or test yours out. I dont wanna say its the app or the phone either way. I just played the same song back to back using Poweramp and the stock player and its really noticeable
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
are you using an eq with power amp?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
Im just have it set on Bass and Treble in my settings and thats it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
see if disabling the eq makes a difference. I seem to remember winamp doing that when I had the eq on. I think it has something to do with beats and eq's
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
Wow thanks alot that seemed to help I only played a 3 and a half song but it didnt do it at all. Whats weird though is I have a pair of beats studios and was using bass and treble and it never went out through the headphones, just on the phone speaker.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
I think what is happening is that you're overloading the speaker, so it's cutting out.
[HTC Rezound] GingerSmurf:
I have started playing with custom icons recently an was curious, where can one find the stock icon.png file? I have a lot of apps on my phone like DrexelOne (for my college) which no one has made customs of, because of this I need the stock image to use as a base for my custom one. Other unpacking the .apk and removing the the icon.png is there a way to reach these?

Thanks ahead of time, I think this will help many more rookies than just me!
[HTC Rezound] godsmacked4653:
Are you asking where that default icon is that only shows up when the app has no specified icon? That would be either in framework.res or com.htc.resources. Both of those apks are in /system/framework.
[HTC Rezound] GingerSmurf:
No I'm asking in general is there a way to take an application's icon and use it as the base for a custom one? For example: Can I somehow get the SuperUser icon .pgn file so that I can take it into paint and edit it, then use ApexLauncher to edit the icon shown on my home screen?

Maybe I'm simplifying the steps to much, but can't you make 72x72pixel .pgn and use ApexLauncher to to make that new icon the icon the shows up?

HI everyone

I have samsung galaxy s2 AT&T SGH-I777 Cyanogen mod 7.1 versione android 2.3.7

I notice almost everyone have already last version 4.0.3 so the question when will be avaiable for cyanogen 7??? o.O

I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?

Someone could please explain me about it?

Thank :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
You need cyanogenmod9 not 7. 7 is gingerbread and 9 is ics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).

CM9

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
You need to read around a LOT more.

First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.

Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.

EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?

Oh there it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
hmmm so i have to flash cm9 but is stable ? Too bad that im not good experience how to flash (cause i didnt even tried first time...i got cyanogen from china already installed).

I dont wanna finish brick or tilt telephone lol maybe i have to give support if someone know how to work this update.....is true talking about Mod is not automatic update need always do something manual...like odin ( i dont know either how to use odin anyway but i heard most ppl use it)

Edit= worse im not good english either but italian doh..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Unfortunately my Italian isn't very good. But you should do some reading before trying anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
Ya i know if possible manual italian will help me a lot but for english sometime i could do mistake by step to step for installing things with this phone....

last question if need put cm9 i will lost all data progress during games isnt? I know some people its say need use TB for backup up but i dunno if this help.

Also why dont use rom manager? the user mattdm suggest me for dont use rom manager...maybe is not a good things? was already installed when i buy first time this new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.

As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
Ok perfect so...for the moment cyanogen 7 its seems stable but for 9 i know there should have some bugs...maybe ill wait when is stable.

but i have to find a way how to update 4.0.3 if need cyanogen 9 ya :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
CM9 is already stable.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here...all you have to do it flash CM9 in CWM...

EDIT: But make a nandroid backup first!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
CMW = ClockWorkMod

Also, should he not follow the basic instructions for first time flashers so he can undo whatever the hell the Chinese dude did?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Probably a good idea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
@matt,

I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.

@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Yeah I've heard that...I just feel like there's no reason to choose it over methods that always work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alan2012:
But flash Cm9 in CWM...

CWM mean rom manager inst? Sorry but wasnt clear :/ or maybe u mean Clockworkmod...but its seesm connect rom manager if im not wrong...

But first to start flash doesnt need change kernel or gapps too? i need more info about it before to do my mistake..
