[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
Not everyone, it is a myth. Most people who buy iphone don't care about customizing etc. They just want a smartphone that works. Everyone in my family owns an iPhone/iPad except me (9:1) - and, all of them draw a blank when I talk about benefits of android - because, they don't care or know more about phones than to call, play music & games and surf the internet. I too used iPhones for a long time but always jailbroke it and wrote my own apps but, never hated android except may be Samsung captivate.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
True, but why the heck did they even decide to implement is beyond me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
They implemented it because Apple has it. And look at the interface of "S Voice". It's a BLATANT, ridiculous knockoff of Siri's interface. I don't blame Apple for suing. It's almost as if Samsung was asking for it.

And for the rest of the armchair lawyers here, these lawsuits and licensing agreements are typically legit. Courts aren't going to entertain these suits, and Apple isn't going to waste their time and money unless they feel the suits have merit.

All these companies have licensing and cross-licensing agreements with one another. I suspect in the case of the HOX ban, HTC refused to a "linking" licensing agreement that others have agreed to.

While IOS isn't my favorite OS, I have no issue with companies protecting their IP. It's also a little strange seeing so many users here rooting for the Chinese and Korean companies stealing American IP. Fonboism > patriotism I guess.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
I believe the the One X is a better phone already, not that it matters.

And don't be an asshat. To suffer at the mercy of Apple's capricious legal department is a crappy thing to wish on ANY vendor, let alone one we should be supporting for making quality Android devices. Quit stinking up the place.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Yea I guess you're right.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lilhyper:
That's the most ignorant thingies had seen in awhile.

Galaxy S3 is a great phone. I personally prefer HTC One X but I don't hate the S3. There is no reason to bear ill will towards another company making great products.

Apple needs to be tranquilized.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Hmm, lets see... Apple? Nope, not here... GS3? Nope, not here again... oh well, thread closed. :D
[Epic 4G Accessories] shockvaluejj:
I've recently upgraded early to the gnex :D and after having no luck on craigslist, I thought maybe I'd have more luck here selling the accessories I've collected for my epic over the years. Most importantly the 4 batteries and charger, which I've taken impeccable care of and would like to see go to another loving epic owner like myself. The batteries consist of 1 stock 1500 mah battery, 1 generic 1500 mah (it actually lasts rather long!), 1 1800 mah e4gt bat, and finally, a 2300 mah extended yaoboo with back cover. And the battery charger. I also have a pretty nice plastic white case I didn't pay very much for, and a completely ****ty mirrored screen protector that's so wildly ugly I'll just throw it in for free. All together, I payed about 100 bucks for this ****, and I figured 60 bucks would be a good second hand price. Although, I'm open to offers. I'm in the Denver area and willing to ship. Reply with questions! Thanks (:

Edit: I completely forgot to mention the microsd card I no longer need. Its 16 gbs and only a couple months old. The price for the batteries is now officially 40 bucks and 20 for the SD card. Or 50 if you buy em together :D
[Epic 4G Accessories] AOD_Corwin:
Since the batteries lose chargeabilty over time and the fact I just bout a new oem 1800 battery for 16.99 on amazon. I see the over all value of the package at around 30 bucks. Not making a bid, just being realistic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] shockvaluejj:
Is 40 or thereabouts unreasonable in your opinion? I think the extended battery was like 30 bucks on it's own....
[Epic 4G Accessories] shockvaluejj:
I'm going to take that as a yes :)
[Epic 4G Accessories] insanity213:
Denver Represent!

I'll trade ya a 12 pack of easy street for it :)... Local deal, I work in DTC...

Still trying to sell this?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't thought to check this tread in foreverrrrrrr... I've still got everything but the extended battery available.

[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
The hummingbird chipset always use to beat the snapdragon S2 chipset in 3D graphics performance. In short the powerVR SGX 540 was considered significantly better than the adreno 205.

But I have seen phones with the S2 chipset which just run games better than nexus S. Even the sony phones with 512MB ram manage to run GTA3 and temple run totally smooth without any mods or hacks just all stock. Whereas nexus S cant without doing all sorts of tweaking.

I suppose game devs dont support the hummingbird chipset well which is really surprising given how well the galaxy S performed in the market. Maybe samsung should actively work with devs? What is the point of creating the fastest GPU's if they dont get the support? There are some very graphically intensive games that run smoothly like asphalt 6 and 9mm HD so obviously the hardware is there.

I am disappoint with nexus S gaming support. :mad:
[Nexus S General] Billchen0014:
I most certainly agree with you. however, you must realise, the Nexus S is considered to be a developer's device, not a consumer device, designed for coding and easy hacking, not UX. if you want a consumer device, go look somewhere else. :)
[Nexus S General] mixtapes08:
International s2 have exynoss processor that's even better on gnex cpu.. exynoss processor for me is the best.

Sent from my Nexus S®
[Nexus S General] al_madd:
Gnex have TI OMAP 4460 CPU processor...

how it is compare to exynos SGSII???

For GPU many said that Mali-400MP SGSII is better than PowerVR SGX540 Gnex..

they said..I just have I9100T but dont have Gnex..So I cant compare..not a single of my friend use Gnex also..:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Saw youtube videos where galaxy nexus was lagging in GTA 3 lol. Galaxy nexus isnt a weak phone, it's just not adequately armed for the massive 720p resolution. The galaxy S2 has WVGA resolution which is why it can still match pretty much any of the newer phones in 3D benchmarks. Having a lower resolution is a serious advantage for gaming smoothness. And that makes the case of the nexus S a bit more disappointing as it doesnt exactly have very high resolution even for its time.

For a real comparison I would suppose it would be better to compare S2 with sensation. The S2 beats it handily in benchmarks so it would be interesting to see if it translates to real world performance advantage.

As far as UI smoothness is concerned the nexus S is right among the smoothest single core phones I have used. The hardware is clearly very capable just that game support from devs seem to be lacking maybe because the snapdragon S2 is used in so many phones whereas the hummingbird is only used in 2 phones.
[Nexus S General] RisinT96:
I think the OP is talking about the Quallcomm Snapdragon S2 chipset but not about the Galaxy S2 (Adreno 205 vs PowerVR 540SGX NOT Mali-400MP vs PowerVR 540SGX).

You took the discussion to the wrong side, i think...
[Nexus S General] Gambler_3:
Haha well I just figured why the S2 and galaxy nexus were brought in the equation. :D

I wish we had real gaming benchmarks instead of synthetic. Yes I was comparing nexus S GPU with adreno 205.

Hello everyone

I recently retired my Tmobile TouchPro 2 and I was wondering if I can use it as a bluetooth keyboard for my playstation 3. I just want to use the hardware keyboard or touch keyboard on my phone to input data or chat. Would be cool if I can use the touchscreen as a mouse but I can live without that.

Alternately, I now have an HD7. I know it's the wrong forum, but I thought I'd throw that in there just in case.

Whats a good camera app to use? Stock one has a huge lag when i open it, sometimes missing the moment, you know.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devin-J:
:::

use the 'ics camera' app from the market. cool UI and looks like ICS but is actually for gingerbread :) good for those of us who do not want to unlock bootloader to get ICS because we are scared of bricking our baby.

When will the ota rogers update will be release?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
So nobody really knows. Sad for all rogers HTC raiders owners like me..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] midnightmach:
My gut feeling is that it will be released after all the OneX/OneS hype dies down...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
Sad..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
Still no update?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Believersoul:
:(

Does that mean i can't get Custom Firmware for are HTC Raiders????! :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Glitch04:
Hey I just got my friends HTC Raider from Rogers running Holics last weekend. I had to go the LONG way around.

S-Off -> CID Changed to 11111111 -> Relock bootloader -> Install BM Ginger Bread RUU -> Install BM ICS RUU -> Holics 0.8

Works FINE. I thought everyone else knew.

I could throw together a manual if someone wants to go through it with me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
I rather have official Rom first than custom roms..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Glitch04:
So stop once you get to ICS install.

S-Off -> CID Changed to 11111111 -> Relock bootloader -> Install BM Ginger Bread RUU -> Install BM ICS RUU
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] xarekusu:

what does BM stands for and can you post links of the two RUUs?

if you look for the thread from kennethpenn... There is a bell ice ruu as well
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dwsr:
Not sure why you would want a carrier ROM. Rogers is known for all the craptastic bloatware they put in their ROMs, and the updates are slow. Just get one of the stock RUU based ROMs. It's the same thing the carriers base their ROMs on, but no bloat
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
I'll look on that. Thanks for enlightening me..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
For one, it's the only way to get the proper radio for your device-carrier combination.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
U agree with you..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
So still no official Rogers ICS update yet? I'm looking to pickup a Raider for my wife, but the only ones I can find are Rogers and we're with Bell. I'd get an unlocked one to use, but I don't want to have to go wiping the phone again if there isn't already ICS on it for her to learn/use.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dwsr:
The AT&T ICS RUU seems to work fine, as I've been running it for months. Also, more to the point, I meant more why he would want to STAY with the carrier ROM. I understand the purpose of upgrading to the carrier ROM in order to gain the specific radio or HBOOT you need, but after that, drop it like it's hot.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Prolab:
So the official ICS is here.

I can download it, but i worried i might lose my root. And now that I've read the forum again, it seems like people are having audio problems with ICS.

For those people that download and installed the update, did you lose your root?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
I already updated mine.. works smoothly with no problems at all.. it won't delete your file..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KillerbawX:
I relocked my bootloader but it keeps erroring on me when I go to install it. Says error code 7 any suggestions how you to install this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jeeper11:
Just d/l the RUU and run it, thats what I had to do. I kept getting some message about my system being modified so I couldn't do the OTA update
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sakurasyaoran:
Mine are stock Rom. Are yours custom roms?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Anyone know where I can get the GB RUU? I'm running a WCX (GB) ROM right now, I'm guessing I have to relock bootloader, run the stock RUU, then either update OTA or download the ICS RUU...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KillerbawX:
I did not find the RUU for ICS so used the GB version and it worked fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
Can you clarify? Where did you find the GB version?

The ICS RUU is in the shipped ROMs thread in the dev section.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
Used Regaw root

TWRP as recovery

Viper ROM

google wallet not working even though I cleared it reset to factory before rooting. So I started to unroot followin QBKING77's video on relocking before unroot now I'm stuck in fastboot

\
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
And this is in development, why? Why don't you post this on to the Regaw thread?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
Well captain Obvious I am not sure if its the Regaw, Viper Rom, TWRP or if QGking77 has anything to do with it! and Obviously you don't either thanks for the ignorant reply
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Why don't you stop bein' obnoxious in every post you make? If you don't want to answer him don't. Report the post for being in the wrong section and leave it at that.

Ignore him.

What do you mean you're stuck in fastboot? Did you get a RUU installed? When you hold the power button for 10 seconds, what does it do on the reboot?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
Yes I did the RUU when I did all of the root, recovery and the Viper mod. Followed up with th eRUU the wallet never syncronized! Figured I would Unroot follwed QGkings video to relock before unroot now no matter what I do stuck in fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Ok. So if you reboot the phone right now, what happens? Does it boot into fastboot? Does it bootloop?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
goes into fast boot screen
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
it says Tampered

Relocked

Security warning

at the top of the screen
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Ok. You need to run the RUU or something. Sounds like there IS a ROM on there because it wouldn't show tampered if the filesystem didn't have root.

Have you tried using the htcdev unlock again on it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
You'll need to either run a RUU or unlock and flash a stock recovery and boot image. The security warning is because you have S-ON and are using a modified kernel/recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
Yes the S-on is active Tried RUU get error 140. dont know what HTC Dev other than Regraw. that doesnt work either! Keeps saying not Evo 4g lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
The 140 error, I believe, is from having a bad connection. You may need to reinstall and then uninstall htc sync to get the proper drivers before it'll work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wjz11131983:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Update: I normally keep my microSD card mounted in my Prime. After doing some searching, I've seen a few reports of battery drain being bad when having an SD card mounted in the Prime and/or the Prime's dock. I unmounted my SD card and my battery life has greatly improved. Give this a shot if you currently always leave your microSD card mounted and have battery drain problems.

Has anyone noticed this wakelock killing their battery? My problems just started recently. I charged my phone overnight and did not use it all day. This wakelock was literally running the ENTIRE time my tablet was on - for over 12 1/2 hours. It brought my battery down to 80% without me ever turning the screen on. Has anyone else noticed this problem on their Prime, or does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? The only thing I changed recently is I installed System Tuner Pro, which I just uninstalled to troubleshoot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jetbruceli:
i would like to know how if i charge my dock up and then 2 days later connect it to my prime it lost 20 percent of its battery. Maybe the batteries also have a

discharge built in , IDK?????????????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
I had that problem with the TF101. My dock battery would completely discharge in 2-3 days without ever being connected.

My TF201 holds its charge for weeks with losing more than a few %.

Asus really needs to get it together and develop some consistency with their tablets.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apen83:
Which would you buy and which do you think will offer more roms. I'm available for an upgrade now. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn1482:
I had the same choice yesterday . I honestly picked the S3, HTC's UI gets boring and old after a while and i have an HTC phone right now. I wanna try something new and that 2gigs of ram is hard to pass on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apen83:
That's what I was thinking plus the larger screen is an added bonus on the s3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robberknight:
I wouldn't want to miss my 64gb microsd and an exchangable/extendable battery. So I'd go for a SIII. What a shame that HTC removed both.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MassStash:
Pretty sure the lte sprint version has micro sd. Battery not removable although weak, is yet a minor detail along with the multiple positives of the solid build of the physical phone itself, and sense upgraded goodness. My plan is to simply snag a portable charger from radioshack n be done with the quarells of non-removable battery. Not to mention you should go check out the EvoLTE forums and the bat life peeps are getting. If ya really don't care for sense, pretty sure aosp n AOKP will be dropped for it eventually n with that, even more battery life...

~Freshly re-acquired evo rockin' NRGZ; from the mogul up ta present, but then AOKP happened. P.S. f**k the police....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn1482:
Hi5josh man you need to do some research. First off they will both share the krait s4 processor that you think so highly of. Second of all the S3 has a bigger battery than the Evo LTE. Hey listen if you like the Evo LTE thats cool but dont post information unless you get it correct (no offense). One more thing honestly the whole Sony thing is a gimmick they didnt announce or show any games yet. Dont expect any ps1, or 2 games to be played on your EVO that would just defeat the purpose of the Playstation Vita. HTC will probably get some Homebrew games from third party developers through Sony. Samsung has already had a game center so not missing much there at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] adrianjr84:
Has anyone experienced any issues with playback? it's not laggy but slows down at one point (about 2 seconds of video) then speeds up to catch up. It's not too obvious, my sister didn't even notice it. I've also tried playing back recorded videos and streaming movies from the browser with no issues. I've also tried uninstalling updates and reinstalling YouTube app..with no success. Hopefully someone can help, or maybe I should try one of these new roms...hmm?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] guitarman16:
I've noticed the same thing. It also only happens (or is most noticeable) in landscape. Now that I've noticed it, its really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] adrianjr84:
Well at least I'm not the only one that notices it. I'm not crazy then. Hopefully this issue will get fixed with a new rom
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] strwbrrycke:
This is my only issue with this phone; everything works great except youtube playback. The lagging then catching up is really noticeable and distracting. I thought it was my network connection for the longest time, I'm so glad it's not just me. It's kind of ridiculous, this device should be able to handle a simple youtube video. I'm glad I know now at least I didn't get a defective phone. Hopefully someone somewhere will be able to come up with a fix/mod for this. I never would of purchased this phone if I knew I couldn't properly watch a youtube video. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] adrianjr84:
Really sucks...I feel you.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Sleeps17:
I haven't noticed anything. YouTube video playback is working flawlessly. I played numerous videos and closely observed the first 5 seconds of playback. I haven't noticed any slow down, speed up, or lag. I'm also running Stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] adrianjr84:
Then your blessed...or can't notice it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Don't have this problem either. Even when playing HQ. If it slows down than it's the data, not playback quality. I do notice that this stock ROM is slower with download speeds. My G2x is faster when downloading content and it's only 14 Megabits per second, theoretically.
