[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josho133:
I tried using CPU Tuner and also SetCPU (not at the same time). Both have significant problems on my phone. At first, both seem to work just fine, but after a few hours they each cause my system to freeze. The problem goes away if I restart and disable whichever one is active.

I'm running 4.0.3 on T989UVLE1

Kernel 3.0.8-perf-T989UVLE1-CL508451

Build IML74K.UVLE1

Anyone else seeing this?
[General Questions and Answers] boelze:
I am buying a new phone in the next few days, but I have no idea what to get. Actually I never had this problem before because everytime I bought a new phone some device that I really must-have hit the market same time. Last time it was the htc desire.

Anyways there is no such device at the market right now so I am struggeling for what to get.

Here are my needs:

- I want pretty state-of-the-art device as I will have to use it for at least 2 years from now on.

- Big screen is not that important to me as I own a galaxy tab where I do most of my mobile browsing and youtubing.

- Camera is one of the most important features to me (mostly photos, not much videos), so a good image quality is mandatory to me.

- Good mp3 player sound quality. (I dont care about included headphones only quality of the device itself)

- I am very picky when it comes to build quality.

- Battery should last a whole day on average use.

- I don't "fancy up" my homescreens so non-customizable homescreens like on iOS would be totally ok for me.

So what do you guys think would get me satisfied? I nailed it down to sgs3, htc one x and iPhone 4s at the moment, but I am open for other suggestions.

Every suggestion might help me, so please post your thoughts!

Thanks in advance.

As a Sony fan, I would say to you take a look at Xperia S. Not the really lattest, but it runs really perfect, a really good camera (saw some comparasions, I think it looks better than GS3 one), and a perfect design. And it will have a good support from Sony.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Get the Samsung Galaxy S 3. I will never tire of recommending this phone. It fits your criteria perfectly,the international one with exynos at least.Or you could consider the Optimus 4x HD for the battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] boelze:
Thanks for your replies!

Galaxy s3 is out for me now, I watched comparison videos alot and they all paint the same picture: the s3 has a really, really bad camera. Combined with the low sound quality this is a no-go for me.

The sony xperia s looks pretty promising!

Now my desicion list is: xperia s, htc one x, iphone 4s

Another thing I want to mention is that I dislike "purse-phones" like the note. Galaxy s3 and htc one x are pretty damn close to too-big. I bought a note for my girl but I am a dude, want to put my phone in my pants pocket. ;)

Thanks again for your replies, I would love to read even more!
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Sounds to me like you've already chosen. All that is left is the Sony Xperia S. I'd avoid iPhone, just cause it's expensive for less features.
[General Questions and Answers] dzulfadli:
i would personally

if i were in your shoes.ill go with htc one x.Camera great.Battery up to your criteria.screen is marvelous.Alot of support from developers for roms.and tegra 3..eve though i only own a nexus one.and been using it for three years makes me a great fan of htc and android..:)
[General Questions and Answers] amm009uk:
One X but I'd like a confirmation that it's the newer HW now that it's confirmed there is Wi-Fi issue:rolleyes: Also LG are releasing soon and specs look good but I've never touched one before...
[General Questions and Answers] sam11rox11:
Galaxy S3
[General Questions and Answers] boelze:
Thread can be closed now.

I went to the store and tried a few devices. Galaxy s3 and htc one x are way to big for me (as expected) so the descicion was between iphone and xperia s. I almost bought the xperia because of the really great camera, but (maybe its just me) i have to hit the softkeys like 3 times until they respond :-/

Got an iPhone 4s in the end, even though it was the most expensive of all. I am pretty satisfied until now, only thing I dont like is the display, it has very weak colors. Everything else is working great for me :)

Thanks alot to everybody who replied!!!
[General Questions and Answers] AzHavicx:
Glad u like the Iphone, i had one for a week and took it back due to sound sucks,and i did not like not running android for that much money and being able to do so little i re turned and went back to my ssgII till i can get the SSG SIII
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Enjoy your phone,lol.
[HTC One X] apexitt:
I have both of the version of the HTC One X and I have to say that the At&t has a better camera, Images are sharper and I can take really close up shots and on the International version I can't get any close shots with out some blurr. I have played with the settings and I've had no luck. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also the At&t version has a slight yellow tint the lcd doesn't look as sharp as my international version. Battery life rocks on the At&t as the tegra kind of sucks.. The At&t version is a little faster. & I"m not sure which one I want to keep.. if the At&t didn't have a crappier LCD then i woould keep it.

I went to the At&t store and all of their demos looked just as crappy as mine compared to the International.. I freaking love the camera though..ugh..:confused:
[HTC One X] apexitt:
I just used a application called screen adjuster from the android market to fix the yellow tint. Looks just as good as the international version:)
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Well it depends. If you root or not, if you need a lot of storage, how important battery life is for you. As far as speed goes, the AT&T might be faster at things but the difference isn't that drastic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingskull:
Just downloaded the Swype beta apk on my S3 by registering. When I open the installer, it shows a page saying

Swype beta installer

Do you want to install this application?

Allow this application to:

etc

At the bottom there are 2 options, one to cancel and the other to install. Can't click on install. Can anybody help me out here?

And yes my security settings allow unknown sources and I'm unrooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingskull:
SOS SOS SOS

Really need swype to work!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingskull:
No help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scared27:
Strange, I installed it yesterday (and then again this morning for the newest version).

Tried rebooting your phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
I've just updated the installer. No issues. I'd advise you to download it again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingskull:
Basically, the "Install" option is kinda greyed out... And this is not happening for this apk only, I cant tap on install on any third party apk now. And I confirm I have "Allow from unknown sources" checked in the security options.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roastario:
The S3 stock has swype built in. I'm on CM9 so I cant remember exactly but:

Go into keyboard settings > samsung keyboard > an option like continuous input. (its the one above changing to symbols by swiping)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamingskull:
Issue resolved.

Switched off the phone, switched it back on after 5 mins, and voila! Just love swype :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzven:
Yes it's a swype like input when continuous mode checked.

But what about the swype's shorcuts? I need them and it's a part that made swype mandatory :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cowboy2199:
I finally got my swype to reinstall on my Sensation 4G after a ROM update with ARHD. I had to download the installer again from Swype through the phone, and then it let me install.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] khos1:
Hi,

I have a wifi only htc flyer and would like to check if anyone has been able to get a usb 3g stick running on their htc flyer?

Thanks,

Kim
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
Not 100% positive, but the answer is most likely no. Some time ago, i bought an adapter to plug my flash drive in. After a bit of research, it seems the flyer doesn't give off enough power to the usb port, therefore can't power a device attached to it. There might be a way to do it, not sure though.

Hope this helps
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jamielawther:
USB Host is supported! You have to use an external powered USB hub though and then connect everything to it. I have pictures of how I found it works here:

http://imageshack.us/g/824/gedc0010w.jpg/ :)

So all we need is drivers and 3G support :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Havoc-X:
I know that HC 3.1 supported USB hosts, but like i said, the flyer can't power the device by itself, you need an external power source, thats kind of an effort when you not at home. But good find :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jamielawther:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Pack-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340370531&sr=1-1

? :) My USB Hub is powered from my PSP charger! The Hub takes 5V and uses the same plug as the PSP.. I have an Idea! It's not Ideal but... Connect the USB Hub to the power pack with the PSP cable, Connect the Hub to the Flyer using a Mini USB cable and a USB Host cable! Et voila, Portable powered hub :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Explore3:
I am also interested in this. As an experiment,I have ordered a cheap 3g router. One of the big questions is if it will support any of my usb modems.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Xxul:
I bought a usb 3g stick with the acompanying sim card, just put the sim into the flyer and am browsing the web no problems. U dont need the stick, unless ur flzer is wifi only
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
My 2 month old HTC Arrive seemed to have had some kind of catastrophic failure and Sprint ordered a refurbished unit. The refurbished unit after all the updates seems to have a different version of the software as my last one. I have done all updates through the Zune software. The only current noticable difference is that I can't merge my email accounts into one tile, like all of my gmail ones under one, and the app menu doesn't have the letters I used to be able to click on to take me to the apps quicker, say hit the "#" one and then hit "s" and go to settings faster. the current version on this device is......

os version: 7.10.7720.68

firmware revision number: 2305.13.40301.651

hardware revision number: 0002

so how can i tell if this right? I have tried a system reset within the o.s. and the hard reset.
[HTC 7 Pro] LayneRobinson:
From the sounds of it - feature wise- you don't have Mango (7.5), but your version number matches mine (and I do have Mango).
[HTC 7 Pro] turdsamich:
I actually had a similar situation where I bought a used arrive to replace my original one and while it showed that I had 7.5 but I didnt have all of the mango features as you described, Ive installed the DFT 7.10.8107 on my phone though so I cant really comment further, I did find it odd though.
[HTC 7 Pro] haramzee:
Once you install a certain amount of apps, the shortcut letters will appear.

I haven't heard of the inability to link emails with 7720. You may have to have it checked out of that is still the case with your device.

Good luck to you jonny
[HTC 7 Pro] jonny4:
We are going to chalk this up to me being stupid. Thanks for the help.
[Nokia Lumia 900] gbjohnson:
I've been with you from the start Microsoft. I owned an early Windows Mobile 2003se device, and I loved it. The software was finicky, it crashed often but it was consistent and it was eons ahead of Palm. I was happy. I held on for as long as I could. But after the introduction of the iPhone, I couldn't hold on any longer. The software was going nowhere, and hardware was inferior and I had to move on. I always my fondness for the platform. Then Windows Phone 7 was introduced. It was new, it was clean, it was beautiful. But I had to hold off. Poor battery life, poor specs, high prices. This all changed with the Lumia 900. It was sleek, beautiful, had an amazing display, and it was right for me. So when my 5 year old iPhone died, I went out and bought one. I was happy. I did everything I asked it to and more. Then I heard the Apollo rumors. I was ecstatic! All WP7.5 devices would get WP8. All kinds of new features and worthwhile apps! I couldn't wait. Then this. Just when I was feeling comfortable with Windows Phone again, this new land that was different that iOS and Android that went against the grain, I found out it was much, much worse. I'm selling my Lumia 900 and buying an iPhone 4S. I'm not the first and I wont be the last. You let us believe everything. The little leaks and hints had our hopes up. I feel cheated, wronged, and above all, i'm leaving the platform for the last time. You've made it so i cant even look at my phone anymore without anger. GOOD JOB SH**SOFT, YOU DONE GOOFED UP THIS TIME.

ITS ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD.
[Nokia Lumia 900] tfn:
You go get your Iphone 4S .............

I for one will keep my lumia 900.. simply because it does what it does best, and regardless of what microsoft does, nokia is keen to support its phone...

Apps coming from nokia

DLNA via NOKIA PLAY App

BETTERCAMERA with CAMERA EXTRA app

BETTER TRANSPORT with 2.1 update for the app

and lots of others,, list goes on and on
[Nokia Lumia 900] gbjohnson:
I'd hate to burst your bubble, that's all WP8. 7.8 is JUST the homescreen.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
I have to agree with Johnson on this one. I have been with windows mobile OS's since before they were phones and to tell me my two month old device is unsupported is a slap in the face.

I too plan to look elsewhere. They waited just long enough for the rush to be over on the lumia/HTC and samsungs and no early adopters can't return their device ?!

Thanks for nothing A$$hats.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jsp20:
Damn, I was looking at getting a Lumia 900...guess not :/ But I wouldn't suggest getting a 4S, the new iPhone will be coming out in a few months and you would be kicking yourself for getting a 4S now and then the new one coming out.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nettwerk:
Well Microsoft will support device up to 2 years, as I know. So if you don't looking for dual-core CPU, NFC and other some features, than there isn't problem to stay with Nokia Lumia 900 or other first gen devices. So what is point to buy iPhone 4s if new iPhone come out in fall (WP8 devices as well).
[Nokia Lumia 900] Drewskie:
True! Worst part is that they had to know when releasing the 900 that there would be no upgrade. That, to me is deliberate lies. I would have still bought a WP device I would have simply waited a little longer or maybe I would have bought the 900 anyways ...knowing in advance would've been the right thing to do. I now expect Nokia to make this up to us 900 owners.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aquanaut88:
Honestly, how can one expect Nokia to do anything. They were poorly managed for too many years, then latched on to WP. At launch of their flagship 900 on a flagship carrier (ATT), the device was defective. The $100 rebate was welcomed by early adopters, but they burned through even more cash. In the background, MS is drumming up the app count. Nokia is hanging on for their lives -- firing another 10,000 last week. Stock is down to $2.50 a share. Nokia's major announcement on 6/18? A symbian device.

As for the token of appreciation -- a windows 8 start screen??? You gotta be kidding me. No mention of integrating Skype into the OS? No background operation of skype?

The lumia 900 is a beautiful device. Like others, have been with wm since the pocket loox 600... just windows mobile. MS is putting together a competitive and compelling package, but threw early supporters of WP7 under the bus of MS progress and Nokia survival.

Short of a fully functioning skype client, IE10, camera fix, and restoration of the network settings app, i too will be shopping for new hardware at the end of this year and for the first time, it may not be running on windows.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I'm with you bud... I've been using Microsoft's phone's since the first "Red E" development phone that ran Windows Smartphone 2002 and everything in between till now...

This is un-acceptable. I'm pissed...

I know developers who are pissed too, they've spent forever on some really cool "BIG" projects, 50% on the way to having finished products... And now they have no idea where they sit as far as development goes, etc...
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
They have already said the apps will go forward, just not backwards...... Still sucks nonetheless. =/
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
well, I'll just look at the bright side,,, there are some good apps coming for the Lumia on Friday, is a beautiful device, so I will keep it until WP8 devices come into market,,, there's always craigslist, so I will probably get around $180.00 for it by that time, minus let say $500.00 on a craigslist WP8 device I will end up paying $320.00 which is not bad for being out of contract... But selling the Lumia now to get an iPhone is ridiculousness.:cool:
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Im pretty sure WP7 apps running on WP8 will be more of a compatibility sort of thing... And with the changes who knows when they might dump that ability and require an entire re write...

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nokia Lumia 900] aquanaut88:
I think Zhariak may have been talking about software houses like sbsh, spb, WebIS, and others who built out a stable of useful, innovative applications for windows mobile and got left behind with WP7.
[Nokia Lumia 900] SDreamer:
I believe its for 7.5 actually in the next coming weeks according to Nokia's Official Blog.

http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/06/20/new-nokia-apps-zynga-games-to-make-your-lumia-even-better/

Still, it still feels like lies with how the timing is. Any class action suits? (guess if there is Nokia couldn't pay it, thus putting them out, thus killing any updates for the Lumias, lol).
[Nokia Lumia 900] eortizr:
The home screen update still TBD according to @NokiaUS
[Nokia Lumia 900] hvbelton:
Since I basically got the Lumia for free, after rebate, the only downer is that I will have to buy my Win 8 device at full retail, at about the same time that I'll be getting a Win 8 Tablet. Can you say hole in the wallet :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 900] xxxrichievxxx:
It's like when I got my iPhone 4 loved it to death, then two months later iPhone 4S came out; better processor, Siri, etc.

Now I got my Nokia Lumia 900 not 2 days ago, fell in love with this phone, and I see this "No upgrade to Windows Phone 8" for this ****ing phone?

What the hell?!! I don't want on ****ty skin + extra glitter 7.8
[Nokia Lumia 900] hvbelton:
If you got it 2 days ago you should still be able to return it and go back to your 4s :rolleyes:
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
Providers may offer that in the US. But it's not like that around the world...
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
No WP8, I too find it irratating, it makes me mad... considered even crying about it.. still thinking about it, I might have some time after 2:30 today. Would it make me switch to another platform?????? Why? Do you really think Apple is any different? Which phones does Siri work on? Across the board on all iPhones... um no.. is it some hardware issue?? Mic on a iPhone 3G not strong enough? Whatever the reason is. If you need a personal relationship with a computer and not people... buy only the latest iPhone (Then be ok with the idea The O/S is gonna change for the upcoming iPhone 5 and some new features will be iPhone 5 exclusive). I can't tell you how many Andriod phones out there DID NOT RECIEVE ICE CREAM SANDWICH... way too many, but the vast majority of people out there don't have a clue.

It sucks, it's wrong.. but lets not pretend Microsoft is some greedy software giant and Apple is some poor underdog that just takes such great care of their customers..... those days are gone!!! long gone, Apple is the company that was litterally sitting on a pile of money that they did not know what to do with. That is not an opinion, it's a fact... look it up, made headline news. Don't even get me started on Google, that company is like a data minning crack whore with a needle jammed in her track filled arm wipping her mouth from the last customer and asking for a kiss. Yeah I have an Andriod tablet and I find myself using it so little since I bought the lumia.

After writting this I realize, no need to cry... I am dissapointed in Microsoft, but it is what it is. As far others and my HD2... Who is anyone fooling????? Anyone on XDA could have made a mint on that baby. I ran WM, Andriod and WP7... sold it with WP7 for almost what I paid for it. Who knows maybe the Lumia will go the same way maybe not... I only paid $380 for it. If I get $200 for it when I sell it I got my Money's worth
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
All Good points. Microsoft is not alone in this. Apple, Google are in hte same boat. I've said this before...I'll repeat it. People hold Microsoft to different rules. There are things happening in Android and Apple, that if Microsoft did it, there would be DOJ actions.

I do NOT want an OS upgrade, that is tweeked to work on my device, because my hardware does not not meet miniumum spec. PERIOD.

I have known since before I bought my Lumia 900, that I would buy the WP8 device of my choice when it came out. PERIOD.

It would be great if WP8 did run on Lumia 900's, but NOT at the expense of performance. With NO NFC chip, do I want NFC software?

I think considering 7.8 as an option is awesome. I will get, so they say, the features that are NOT hardware dependant. If that means ONLY the Home screen, then it means I got as much of WP8 as I could get. If it means other things...then woohoo!!

Someone mentioned SIRI....did they drop Apple becuase it was NOT backwards compatible.

Don't even start on Android and GingerBread and ICS....blah blah blah. My Sensation was updated a week or 2 ago...Like 7 months after ICS was released. Remember the Gingerbread mess...how many devices tanked with the update to GB?? And Froyo?? Tell me....you want that to happen with your Lumia??? Just so you can not be pissed off??? Not me.

You got what you got....were you decieved? Who owns you being decieved? Microsoft has been clear from the start about this stuff....The experience comes first...if your device is not up to par, you don't get it. Dual Core?? Only if the experience and battery life are good....etc....Where's the deception there? Did Microsoft tell you WP8 for all?? Or did the guy at AT&T or T-Mobile say that?

Think it through people. If this grates on your prinicples...move on. Go find that company that does it right. Then come back and tell us who that is.....
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
I agree, great points...... just teasing here, but maybe the title of this thread should be "Got raped in prison. I didn't like it so I am trying it without lube!" iPhone! Really? no I mean Really?
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
You are right, it was a risk. I however do not intend to reward their actions with my continued support, money or recommendations.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I don't give a rats a$$ what other companies do, how other OS's/phones got screwed.

I care that MS build this "revolutionary" new OS on top of CE then cut us all off when things were looking up. Why the F**K didn't they build it on a new platform from the GROUND UP in the first place? Oh yeah... it would have cost them more $$$.

So now when all the promised items finally show up... guess what. I need a new phone... but wait... I JUST F**KING GOT ONE. So you bet, I am pissed.
[Nokia Lumia 900] dhafiz:
The way I see it, you're waiting for your contract to expire anyway, so you won't get the iPhone 5 or whatever else until then, right?

Enjoy your next device, WP8 or not.
[Nokia Lumia 900] awagner:
I think when you cool off... you will be alright. I know you are an intelligent person. It'll be ok. I am getting through it... this summer I will take the motorcycle some place in the mountains and the phone won't matter much... maybe I will post some pics! :)
