[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rox598:
Hello there everyone :)

I have a small issue with my Xperia play I received today. I bought it used today did factory rest managed to root and install CWM however appon looking at the battery stats when fully charged it says it only has 30m of battery power :(

Is there anyway to find out if its just a dud battery or something wrong with the rom?

Some stats might help

Display is using 88% (that can't be normal?)

Wifi 4%

Cell standby 3%
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
You mean this? (look at the attachment).

If yes, 30m means your battery works for 30 minutes from the charging. It doesn't show its time to fully discharge the battery. You should not be worried.

4g 57m 0s means (from Polish) 4 hours 57 minutes 0 seconds ago I unplugged my phone from the charger when I got it fully charged.

Oh see now I feel stupid lol I thought that was an expected battery life bar....blegh i'all get my coat and D hat now lol

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] abbazaba:
Does anyone have any experience with a MHL adapter that will charge your phone and also provide analog audio? I would like to make my own car dock with one.

The "iKross MHL micro-USB to VGA Display and Stereo Audio Adapter" on amazon is pretty much what I need, but am unsure if it will work with the EVO LTE.

It's really unfortunate Sprint/HTC opted to get rid of the charging/audio pins on the back of the ONE X when designing the EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
you can still use the 3.5mm headphone jack as an audio out even with the MHL streaming out via HDMI. It tried it with my headset and my monitor. Works great
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] heywetried:
I've been looking for a similar solution. I'd wager that the adapter you mentioned is compatible. MHL is a standard and I'd very be surprised if the GNexus (as listed on the product page) worked, but the EvoLTE didn't.

I have an aux jack and charging port in my glove box, and for years I've just been using both USB and audio cables which dangle out of the box. I don't think I need a car dock (my car already has GPS), but just having one less cable (like those old iPod car adapters which split out analog audio) will be quite nice.

If you're nervous about buying it, I expect I'll pull the trigger on this in the next week or so, and I can report back.

I'd like to find a black or gray version, though. White cables are garish.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] abbazaba:
Exactly. I never bother with my phone because of all the wires being a hassle. Just looking for a more elegant/convenient solution I can just set my phone in. Might try to hack the MHL adapter and HTC car dock together, though I wish the car dock wasn't so unnecessarily bulky.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yamaford:
Just picked up the belkin Bluetooth today and hooked it to RCA inputs. Got an app that connects Bluetooth when the power cable is connected and turns it of when its not.works great So far. So now I'm down to just power cable .

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested in its compatibility with the car dock as well as how the quality is. With the car dock and the headphone jack I'm getting lots of feedback and static.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] auburnham:
I've order the iKross MHL adapter and the parts necessary to assemble the custom cable. I will report back if the iKross adapter works. If it does work, I may not assemble the custom cable. If the iKross adapter does not work, I will assemble the custom cable and post results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] auburnham:
The iKross MHL adapter came in today, and it does work on the Evo 4G LTE. However, the sound is so terrible that I cannot recommend it to anyone for this application, and I will be sending the adapter back. It seems to only pass low frequencies to the 3.5mm jack, so much of the audio signal is lost. The audio is very low quality compared to the built-in 3.5mm jack. I will be trying the custom cable now, once I get all of the parts I need.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phil121:
After using my prime till it went flat, i charged it overnight but it wont come on in the morning. Tried factory reset (holding on power button until there was a short vibration) many times but screen still wldnt come on.

Can someone pls help me??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gabewalters:
Try hard resetting it by putting a paper clip in the small hole underneath the micro SD slot. I have had this problem with the power button, except for me it is impossible to turn off the screen while the screen is on. The only fix I have is the reset hole. Keep in mind, just because it is a reset hole, it doesn't actually erase anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoxi:
Hello

I sent my Nexus last week to a local repair centre. It's not a Samsung repair centre, just a general mobile phone repair centre. Today I got a letter, which announced me that some requested parts aren't available and I have to wait :mad:.

part 1

22GH59-11350A

Key FPCB-Sub PBA

part 2

SG-L2

L2

That is the information in the letter. Does somebody know what this part numbers mean? I hope they replace the right parts, so I would like to know what these parts are.

Life is hard without the Nexus ;) It is not funny to go back to a older, smaller phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Try Google? What was wrong with your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoxi:
I had the charging bug. When I charged the phone fully and disconnected the cable, the phone thought that it is still charging. So the display was always on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Why didn't you take it directly to Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoxi:
It is the normal way, that you send the phone back to the dealer for warranty issues. My dealer has contracts with this local repair centre, so.. thats why I sent it to this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Gotcha, I would just try looking the parts up online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meatlikeproduct:
This started about a week ago. I opened the stock gallery and noticed that the folders had pictures that were not supposed to be there:

The "screenshots" and "edited folders had a picture of an icon.. From an icon pack(s) that I deleted a month ago.

Then I noticed they were in my camera folder..

And when you select one of these icons it will first show the picture of the icon, resize and then be replaced by the correct picture..

a picture of me making a giant bubble.

Anyone have any ideas? I deleted these icons a while ago and this happened out of no where. Looking through the files on the phone and everything looks fine. I've started using quickpic more regularly because the problem is only in the stock gallery. Any help is appreciated!

-Hunter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Happened to me as well. I downloaded some icons and was trying to manually replace icons in Apex Launcher with the ones I downloaded. If I went through the stock gallery I would get the wrong icon for the thumbnail. Worked fine the first time, then this happened. I had to use Root Explorer to change the icons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Wipe the app's data, it should fix this problem.. Something happens to the database and only way to fix that I know of is to clear it's data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meatlikeproduct:
yes! Thank you! I'm not sure why I didn't try that.

It was just so strange to me that it was using pictures I deleted a long time ago.
[General Questions and Answers] chuck577:
Hello all.

I have an app on the market that records audio using the AudioRecord class and saves it to the SD card. Users wth the HTC One line of phones are unable to record.

All it does is save a 1kb file to the SD card. I have attached the class that I am using to record and I am recording uncompressed audio. In my record activity, I init the extAudioRecorder object as follows:

extAudioRecorder = new ExtAudioRecorder(true,	AudioSource.MIC,

44100,

AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_MONO,	AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT);

I feel this should work on a newer phone.

I have NO idea why it creates the file and stops at 1KB and I dont have an HTC One phone to test my app on. Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostie123:
It seems that a lot of people have bought the international version of the S3 and can't seem to accept that their phone is inferior. I've read a lot of stuff and so far it seems that the American S3 is better overall.

- You have LTE support. It's very fast and the latest technology, so why not stream those HD YouTube and Netflix videos easily? Besides you can always revert back to HSPA+.

- You have 2GB RAM as opposed to 1GB. That's pretty self explanatory, you are getting double the RAM and probably will not have to worry about any memory issues for years to come.

- S3 custom androids and dev can always be ported, and also since most Americans will be using the American version, you can be assured that there will be tons of great android development from North Americans.

- The Snapdragon processor is faster for single threaded applications and is a power house on its own. Let's not forget overclocking. I will not say say "quad core is overkill" because in a few years dual cores will be obsolete. Technology moves fast.

- Locked bootloaders will be cracked and bloatware can be removed.

- You can always unlock your phone to use it on another carrier.

- Warranty will be easy as you can take it to the store and whatnot.

The only cons I can think of:

- Wolfson sound chip may not be on the American S3, which will be a disappointment but as long as the sound is good I don't see a big issue here.

- International is a bit cheaper in price.

- International is better for, international people. Unless you're going around the world in many countries you are fine with the American S3.
[Galaxy S III General] Neville.Holland:
Mines better than yours? Because I have mine...
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
There's no dislikes whatsoever. The problem is this topic, people boasting about which one is better and why. That causes the hate. You are part of this problem by attaching "it's technically better" without any real facts or proof.
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
Agree what's with people yours is better than mine... It's like a bunch of kids.

Buy the one you like and be done with.
[Galaxy S III General] diehard2222:
Wow us model gets 2 gigs of ram? Hmm why didn't they give the international version 2 gigs?
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I want the International version simply for the fact that I have no need for LTE and I can pay $10 a month for Unlimited and unthrottled data.

Specs wise they are pretty evenly matched.
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
so far the biggest Pro that you mentioned is LTE to me.....all the others i think the International trumps its stateside counterparts.

LTE is great, but you can stream movies just fine on HSPA+ and not have freezing and stuttering. rest is just to keep with the international version.

dont glorify something that does not need it.....they BOTH are great devices.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
And yet all the previous American phones lagged in development.

Also, a great big gaping con:

-Most carriers will bundle their S3 with their extraordinate monthly fees. When you say the international is "a bit cheaper", you really should mean $500-$1000 cheaper.

(Than getting an international with prepaid, for instance. Or hell, if you can get that $10/month plan, the opportunity costs of getting the carrier version just skyrocket, no pun intended.)

2 gigs of ram does sound interesting if it allows for better multitasking. I hope there are more positive effects than just freezing fewer programs.
[Galaxy S III General] krabman:
No lie, there is about a dozen threads where you can grind this axe, avail yourself of them.
[Galaxy S III General] leftheodo:
IMO the international version is better for 2 reasons: The Exynos quad core and the Mali GPU is better ( not much but still slightly better ) than the S4/Adreno 225 and it will have MUCH MUCH better development ( as every international version )! The latter is very important for me. I find 1 gig of RAM more than enough but 2 gigs would be nice for showing off to my friends!
[Galaxy S III General] Frostie123:
Both are great phones, I just feel that this time the Americans didn't get shafted. Also this phone is going to be big so to say there will be dev lag is absurd. And for those who pay a lot per month, try getting a deal on retention.. I'm paying very little and getting tons of data.

And of course I am referring to Canadians and Americans.
[Galaxy S III General] thebobp:
How much and which carrier?
[Galaxy S III General] AmesCell:
I just ordered the international yesterday after knowing the ATT specs. For me I'd rather have 4 cores and the best hackability.

2 gb of ram is nice, but I don't run out with the GN so I'm not concerned.

LTE isn't available where I live. When I travel it would be nice, but I also need my battery to get through a day.

Like it or not a lot of your items are saying things will be ported or will be unlocked. Things don't always get unlocked and at the very least you are behind the international on things getting done.
[Galaxy S III General] n70shan:
The american will have same battry capacity 2100mah bt it will last more then international bcoz of krait core power efficient cpu!
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
How is the international cheaper? From what I see, it's around $694 for the international(Cheapest I have seen so far) the ATT version full price is $550, the verizon one will be $599 so if you buy the phone outright it's still cheaper than the international version. I'm going to be paying the same monthly fees regardless of which one I get as I wont be changing plans or carriers.

I'm on the fence on which to get. I think I will wait until it's in an ATT store and I play with one before I decide. I'll also see if the samsung showroom here in NYC has an international version for me to play with. or wait until someone does a side by side video of the two. I wont be able to buy it until mid July anyway so that will give me more time to get a comparison of the two
[Galaxy S III General] eksasol:
Actually, you need to check the RMAA test for the HTC One S. I heard it has great sound quality.

If the T-Mobile S3 support ATT band as well, which the spec sheet seems to say so, then it'll be very useful, similar to how the Vibrant was, but this time with 850MHz also. This is the only thing that compels me on the S3 right now in addition to minor hardware update.

It's still nowhere convenient as a Nexus were you get OTA and not having to wait for the custom roms to bring it back to stock experience. With that said, I don't think the T-Mobile version will be bootloader locked and rooting Samsung phones has always been easy for me.

I'll wait a couple months to see the price go down and any news on the next Nexus. But for people still on single core phones, this will be a big leap.

I do think that people dismissing the American version since its dualcore is a mistake. I prefer to the American version due to newer and more efficient CPU and the more ram. But that's a hard call when weighing it against international unlocked and bloat free and definitely with more developers working on. I don't even care about the quadcore aspect of this phone, you are bound to make a wrong purchase decision if you just look at one selling point.
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
I doubt it will be locked. The Captivate and the GS2 on ATT were not locked and very easily hackable. The ATT version of the GS2 was so close to the international hw wise that we can port pretty much anything from the International gs2 pretty easily. What will making porting more difficult this time around is the different CPU's but it will be possible, just not as easy as it was to port stuff from the intl GS2.

edit: when you said unlocked I was assuming you meant bootloader unlocked, if you meant SIM unlocked that should also not be too hard to do.
[Galaxy S III General] Kendoji:
Oh dear. Sigh. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Entropy512:
LTE is not yet mature and will continue to be a battery hog for at least a year. Everyone who says LTE is awesome seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that even HSPA+ makes it VERY easy to hit your data cap.

2GB RAM so far has little benefit - current devices are doing just fine with 1GB

International S3 development work will be 90% nonportable to the North American mangled carrier variants. If you don't believe me - look at the T989 and I727 forums and compare them to the I9100 forum. Compare the I717 forum to the GT-N7000 forum in terms of development.

This becomes especially obvious when you look at AOSP bringups. Because the international S3 is highly similar to the international S2, the CM9 bringup for that device is progressing rapidly. Meanwhile, the T989/I727/I717 CM9 bringups are still in "alpha" quality stages due to the lack of documentation on Qualcomm SoCs and the lack of commonality with international variants.

This is one of the big keys - North American carriers are highly notorious for long delays with updates. This means that you will not see updates or kernel source for your specific variant for a long time after international variants receive updates. Now, if your carrier variant is highly similar to the international device (SGH-I777 vs. GT-I9100), the international device's kernel source release may be all your need. If your carrier variant has a completely different SoC - you're SOL.
[Galaxy S III General] digweed4me:
Tmali 400 gpu is verclocked and software optimized than s2 one and its way better than adreno 225. If u wanna game a lot u would wanna pick international version.I have seen guy playing nova 3 he said console quality graphics.it runs so smooth.
[Galaxy S III General] Moh_Jay:
Sure quad core is nice but people are letting the hype get to them its not going to make an impact on android just yet... its somewhat equivalent to the same claims people have about lte. The only bad thing is the carrier updates but considering that Samsung has enough power to make all us carriers have the same design and be different only by GSM and cdma I think that sources won't be delayed as they have been in the past.

"All this knowledge is giving me a major brainer!"
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
entropy hit it right on the head.....all of his points are valid no matter how you look at it.

its just which will suit YOU more. and to me international is the better of the 2.

It's nice that north American version is comparable, but Samsungs flagship phone is the international version. No one hates north American version but I would rather buy the phone that Samsung showed off in the event and not a variant of it. There must be a reason that Samsung didn't make the Dual core version their flagship phone? Don't you think if this one was better than they would have released the Dual core version in the event?

Valid points. Even more good news, Droid-life reported that American Verizon SG3s will be given world phone capabilities via software update later this summer.
[Galaxy S III General] Frostie123:
How is doubling the RAM insignificant? It makes a big difference once you run more applications and powerful widgets and I even saw a lag post on this forum recently. And how does it being the "flagship" phone make a difference? It's Samsung, and will obviously show off the model made by them the most (Exynos processor is by Samsung).

Let's also look at the companies that are releasing Samsung S3 here:

Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Bell, Rogers, Mobilicity, Wind, Videotron, Virgin Mobile, SaskTel.

I'm pretty sure there are going to be more but that's almost, if not, all carriers in US + Canada.

The GPU I forgot to mention is a bit better on the International version I don't see it being relevant unless you are huge on graphics and it may drain the battery more. When it comes to devs, the support reasoning is just not true. You can see all the carriers, you can see this will be a big selling phone, North Americans will go crazy on the devs, and Samsung is trying the best to beat Apple in the North American market--they will support the North American version just as much as the International version.

In the end of course is whether the phone has been secretly downgraded that we won't know about until the release date. I will just say that enjoy your phone and don't get OCD if one is better than the other. No one cares but yourself.
[Galaxy S III General] shenmecar:
I actually don't mind the North american one, it is going to be released on pratically all carriers, i imagine there will be huge dev support with roms. This I like very much.

Agreed on the CPU, krait is very fast!

Not agreed on the RAM, nobody needs 2GB of RAM at this moment, and not anywhere near in the future.

Android RAM management is ok, it frees up RAM when its needed, this is not Windows!

Only reason Samsung gives this device 2GB is to make up on the "slow" cpu which just has 2 cores (LOL)
