I don't see how a OS update can fix that. That is just poor design by the developer.

Yeah they aren't the most intuitive controls in the world, but God do they free up so much screen space. I look at people with 4.7" s3 displays with no envy: I've had that screen for months :D and I totally agree with HTC and Samsung, 4.7" is perfect. Can easily operate in one had, but is also comfy in two. Our controls have the added benefit of not making me reach all the way to the bottom of the screen every time I want to use a control. Reaching the middle is much easier with one hand. Just saying, it isn't for everyone, but it's a big reason why I haven't done over to the dark side yet (galaxy note).

Nothing to improve your hardware. Cool features to compete with New Iphone. More then likely an easier interface to navigate. Focused purely on social media and digital media. Jelly Bean will run on devices for the last 2 yrs and not limited to this months devices. Stronger recommendations will be made to manufacturers to stick to guidelines. App dev's will not be able to put there apps in the store that only work on one device or no devices at all. I think alot will be implemented at Google I/O 2012 and Jelly bean. "my thoughts"

Greetings! First of all sorry for my bad english.

I'm watching this forums for some time but I finally made an account because I need some advice.

I have Galaxy Ace at the moment and I'm in a search for a new android one.

So i got stuck on Xperia S, Galaxy S2 or something 3rd :P

And I'm not sure if galaxy S2 is still worth buying? Is there any better dual core andorid?

Quad core is just to much at the moment for me and I don't see any reason to get one.

I found HTC one S is a great phone but it's to costly for me and I really don't like HTC phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirrim:
Anybody?

Best dual core android at the moment? Or at least best for its value
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gobluewolverines4:
The galaxy S II is still a great phone. Depending who your service provider is you could maybe even get some other phones, but the s2 is amazing. It is one of the most durable phones, even though it does feel cheap. It will come with touchwiz so I suggest you put a custom rom on it. The battery life is pretty nice on it. The screen is nice, large and bright. The phone is very nice, with its biggest downfall being it feels rather cheap, but still a trustworthy phone.

It also depends on the kernel, rom and apps you use.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Cresqo:
So our phone has 512 mb ram.

in CM it is reported as 420mb, means that the 92MB is system reserved. The 130 mb reported is quite high because of your apps, GO launcher Ex already taking up 31mb.....in kernel it usually just affects the distribution of ram (killing apps etc).

Actually is better to go to settings>about phone>scroll down to meminfo, it's more accurate.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
I love launcher pro but because launcher pro is not update since 1 year so i moved to go launcher ex.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aravindsagar:
GO Launcher is heavy, I think, (and many others too). If you want a different kind of launcher, try SS Launcher. or the Xperia S Launcher. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I like the shortcuts on the lock screen and off you get a message or missed call shows.

However if I put a security lock, pattern lock etc you lose this functionality.

On my previous HTC sensation XE you got a message it showed on the lock screen, you dragged it to open it and then had to do the pattern lock.

Is this not possible on the S3, do you have to have either the security but no lock screen notifications?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daranx:
This is absolutely possible on the SIII (something I've been waiting for since I got my SII)...

Go to Settings > Security then use whatever Screen Lock you want (not sure if it works with all of them, but I'm currently using Pattern lock).

Once you have set up your Screen Lock, tick the 'With swipe lock' option and this should give you the desired results :)

Another great thing I've been waiting for was the ability to disable 'lock instantly' when turning off the screen. A lot of very welcome 'minor' tweaks from Sammy that have made this phone an excellent upgrade!

I've cleaned the x10mp with wet wipes which contained a bit of alcohol, to remove fingerprints & grime.

Now, there is a rectangular region in the middle of the screen where touching produces nothing. There are no dead pixels, as far as I can see, just touching there isn't picked up by the phone.

Pressing anywhere else on the screen works fine.

Any suggestions?.

this is NOT Carrier IQ!

Hi,

most of you should know the spy tool named Carrier IQ...

Now (told by a reliable german IT news portal) it seems that Motorola uses some similar software on boot of Droid RAZR and Droid 4! The system process is called "qe" and fires on boot... It's used to collect MD5 hashes of the system folder to check changes like new ROMs or if the phone is rooted!

Here's the news link:

http://winfuture.de/news,70378.html

non german xda members could use google, if my summery isn't enough...

i even don't know if it's true... but it scares me oO
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
This DroidForum post by Hashcode is the source of the news articles mentioned above. All of the news articles I could google were in German, and Google translate is more pitiful than useful. Go to the source, especially if English is more useful to you than German.

Executive summary: "qe" is started by init process and catalogs differences between your system and standard ROM. Hashcode's stock ICS leak disables this, so obviously it can be disabled (apparently by removing it from system init scripting).

I'd like to see some guidance on how to disable QE on a stock-but-rooted phone running .219. :confused: I suppose I could look into it myself. :cool:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joesmaker:
Hi everyone,

I unfortunately broke the button for the up-volume on my Omnia 7. Tried to remove the case and fiddle with button but nothing happened. I think it s the connection.

I found very useful apps such as Volume slider by Purushoth and Dllimportproject by fiinix.

Those are very useful for the master volume.(i.e. ringtones and music player)

But my problem is, when in a call, those apps do not change the in-call volume.

Mine is unfortunately at 1/10 right now and if I click on the down button then I am in trouble.

I found a solution which is to hard reset the phone but it is not always convenient to back up then reinstall everything and it only goes back to 6/10.

I read on a thread that someone used headphones to change the in-call volume but that did not work for me (beats headphone).

I emailed Purushoth and asked him about it and he said he would look into it but I have not heard back from him. Hopefully he can manage to tweak his app.

I m just wondering if anyone had the same problem and manage to fix it by any other way. Or if anyone would know how to get into the in-call volume ?

Thank you in advance,

Joesmaker

Hello I am from Mauritius and I am using a Samsung S8500 wave. I have a problem with the phone. The contact name in my phone do not appear when I dial/receive a call. ONLY THE NUMBER APPEARS. But when i receive SMS , then the CONTACTname appears. I have only been able to fix the problem by saving a contact in two different formats: I have to save without prefix and with prefix(+230). Then it works!!! Its a nuisance , I cant do that everytime.somebody told me it is a problem with CSC . Can anyone please provide me a solution. Thanks

Original firmware in the phone is: S8500XXJEE/S8500XEUJEE(XEU).

Bada 1.0

I have even upgrade to Bada 2.0, but still doesnt work.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
You need to go to Admin mode and set the correct CSC for your region.

The XEU CSC is not for your region. XEU is for United Kingdom.

So first, you need to get the correct firmware for your region (Mauritius).

After flashing with the correct firmware for Mauritius, in your phone menu setting, go to Admin mode => Pre-configuration setting, and select the correct CSC for Mauritius.

Example:

If you are in the UK, any firmware with the XEU CSC is correct (e.g S8500XXJEE/S8500XEUJEE(XEU). After flashing, hard-reset phone and then enter Admin mode and change Pre-Configuartion Setting as follows:

On phone's keypad, enter *#5239870*# => password => *#27236*# => select your csc of choice, e.g XEU for UK)

or alternatively, you can also do it like this:

On phone's keypad, enter *#272*HHMM# (where HHMM is the current time displayed on mobile phone in hours and minutes; it does not matter whether the time is correct or wrong, just enter whatever time that is displayed in hours and minutes).

NB: Please verify the correct firmware for Mauritius from here or search the internet for more info. Best of luck.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rey2012:

CSC version is: S8500XALA1

Let me know if u need other info..Thnkx
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
In the Admin mode with this firmware, you will observe you have a list of CSCs (CIT, CPW, DBT, EPL, XEF, XEU, XFA, XFC, XFE, etc).The CSC's in bold belong to South Africa. Please try to install any one of these South Africa's CSCs. Maybe one of them may the one Mauritius uses.

Remember, from phone's keypad, enter as follows:

*#272*HHMM# (where HHMM is the time in hours and minutes displayed on your phone; does not matter if the time is correct or not) => then select/touch the CSC you wish, e.g XFA (phone will automatically install this CSC and reboot). CAUTION: Doing this will reset your phone and delete all personal data you had installed or set.

Try this and let's know the outcome.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rey2012:
Hi

XFA, XFC, XFE do not exist in the firmware I used.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] yakapa40:

[Bada Software and Hacking General] rey2012:
HI

I already have the correct firmware because i upgraded my phone through kies. Please tell me how to create a csc for mauritius of operator orange.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] spacks:
Please redownload the same firmwareusing the tool, "CheckFusDownloader_v2.1".

XFA, XFC, XFE do exist in the CSC_S8500_Open_Europe_Common_OXALA1. All the CSC folder files are there. But you need to include the CSC in the "SW_Configuration" xml file manually by yourself. I noticed that it is not included by default.

So open the SW_Configuration.xml with notepad and add themissing XFA, XFC, XFE. Or you can easily rename any 3 existing ones you don't need to XFA, XFC, XFE. See example below:

<CustomerDataSet>

<CSCName>S8500OXA</CSCName>

<CSCVersion>LA1</CSCVersion>

<NbCustomer>7</NbCustomer>

<CustomerData src="/Customer/KOR/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/SKT/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/XEF/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/XFA/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/XEU/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/XFC/customer.xml" />

<CustomerData src="/Customer/XFE/customer.xml" />

</CustomerDataSet>

NB: Since you upgraded your phone via kies, you may also wish to try, in Admin mode/CSC Pre-Configuration setting, the available CSC's one by one to see if any one of them works. You need to do a trial of them all, starting from XEU.

Please what CSC is your phone presently set to?

What is your Network provider name, e.g. Orange, T-Mobile, MTN, etc?
