Xperia S is the best I have seen so far. Im also actually looking for a phone that is high end or mid end. STRICTLY NO ****(low) END.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
HTC ONE X doesnot support mostly best gameloft games like Modern Combat 3, N.O.V.A 3.

Same with Xperia S.

If you want to get a powerful Android device that supports most games, then "GALAXY S2" is the best choice ! :)

+1.

OP, just out of curiosity...what kind of problems are you experiencing with the Lumia 800?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mutantkeyboard:
my opinion

Man I'm HTC user but Samsung Galaxy S2 is a brilliant machine, highly customizable and easy to use. I would go for that, and in case of the lower budget abilities I'd go for Nexus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorigo:
+1 for the S2.

Very simple to root and customize, and the dev scene is phenomenal for the phone, great roms, mods and themes kicking around.

With the S3 now out, the phone is likely to have dropped in price, and while the S3 has some great functions, half of them have been ported to the S2 and the rest are probably on their way or there's a great alternative out there.

Plus it has plenty of processing power, and a great screen.

Definitely go for that.

Motorola have always been iffy personally, build quality never great for me, and there not the most easily customized phones.

The Note is massive, great, but massive. But it's definitely not a bad choice.

The Nexus will probably get android 4.1 whereas that's less certain for the S2,

however the nexus is more expensive and doesn't offer a great number of benefits over the s2.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
Either the GNexus or the GNote. They are both great at playing games and browsing the web and they can overclock quite well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onetik:
Thanks for the suggestions guys! Looks like GS2 is the best option for me right now.

The oddly-placed proximity sensor (top-right edge) fails to turn the screen off during calls, as a result 50% of the time I drop calls by hitting the "End Call" button with my face. Can't believe I wasted $500 on this piece of crap. Never going to Nokia again, just because I had to waste so much money now!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Fishman:
ingDno references

Honestly the GS2 seems like the best choice for you. I myself use the GNexus. I love it, it's customizable, pure google, and right for me. I like flashing roms every other day and customizing everything. :good:

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] virtualflyer:
Since I've bought my first android (optimus one) I've kept wondering why youtube iOS app was allowed to play music in background and android one wasn't allowed to... So I've started doing some research and I've come up with an app called Queue tube which did exactly this, played just the music and not the video. Unluckily this isn't a very good app and with ics it slows down incredibly all the system.

So back again searching I've found this app PVSTAR+. This app for me is AMAZING it can do what I've just written like in iOS but can still play the video and it has many more features than youtube app also if you don't want to use it for background streaming.

I've shared this cause I've seen I'm not the only person interested in it

p.s. it's a free app so it's not ad! and it's chinese and I'm italian :D

I have a question, maybe it stupid noob question :D. Is there a difference between loader.sin file of my ROM with the loader.sin file from another handheld?

If so, where can I get the original loader.sin file of my handheld?

Thats it, thx before :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Flashtool flashable .ftf files include loader.sin files, download the stock firmware you want, exclude everything and unwipe everything, final result should be loader.sin and maybe something more...Don't remember atm.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Loader and kernel if he excludes kernel. I've never tried excluding everything, but probably he will manage to flash only loader.sin :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AyamPushUp:
I mean, is there a difference loader.sin file contents of my handheld with loader.sin file contents from another handheld in different countries and at different serial numbers? eg CDA number or anything?

I once upgraded to my handheld to the ICS by SUS, whether from the files downloaded by SUS in that I can get the file loader.sin?

Sorry for my bad english :o
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
You can make a .ftf file from the SUS downloaded files. It includes loader.sin and lots of others.

I do not really know, if there is any difference in these files and if there is, then what.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AyamPushUp:
I was try to make .ftf file from three files that i got in SUS, using flashtool, but after i descrypting that files, i did not get the loader.sin file. Any advice?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I have no idea...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeimuzu88:
Recently my phone has been randomly crashing: i.e screen would lock, I would attempt to unlock it after x amount of time, and screen would not unlock. The home, menu, back and search 'buttons' on the bottom would light up, and I was still able to manipulate volume, but had to pull battery to reboot.

Attempted re-flash of Cyanogenmod 7.1 & titanium backup to restore apps / data. Crashes would still happen.

Attempted re-flash of Cyanogenmod 7.1 and left as 'stock' install - still crashed.

Attempted flash of Cyanogenmod 7.2 - crashes would still happen.

Tried above with no SD Card in - still crashed.

I read somewhere (forget where) that a dodgy battery could be causing this(?) so have ordered a new one.

Other than that, is there anything else that would cause this, and am I looking at getting a new phone or is there some other fix that someone else can recommend?

Cheers
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pick_A_Name:
So just to make sure, you did perform a full wipe and not just cache and dalvik... right. Have you tried it with your phone plugged in? I'm not sure if this works, but with laptops you can run it without their battery as well if you have a bad battery.

Absolution 3.7 /Redemption A16, 17, 18, 19, 20. There now I'm covered for a few days :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeimuzu88:
Yeh it was a full wipe!

I've resigned to the fact that's it a hardware issue, and managed to convince my provider that the phone is busted, they're sending me a replacement tomorrow.

Win.

Thanks for the advice.
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
Hello.

Im looking for OTG cable compatible with Nexus S. I've watched many videos but I don't know if to buy some 'no-name' otg or the one from Samsung - ET-R205. But I've heard that ET-R205 doesn't work sometimes with NS. What do you guys have? Thanks
[Nexus S Accessories] linuxxp:
Here is a cable for 3$ CLICK or this but a little more expensive.

Even if work is not so big problem. That is cheap enough :)
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
Both look like ET-R205, but I already found one at my local shop.

Thanks anyway
[Nexus S Accessories] NexS:
here you can find some really cheap ones:

dont need external power supply?

its only connect the usb pen and rocks?
[Nexus S Accessories] avinashdelhi900:
Does the 3$ one work perfectly???

I mean does nexus s read any pen drive w/o any external power source or special kernel???
[Nexus S Accessories] keb00:

[Nexus S Accessories] keb00:
Any news about this?
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
Yeah I ordered somealready, should get it on Monday.. One guy who has Nexus S with OTG cable said that he had to use external power suply for his flash disk (not HDD), Im not entirely sure about that and will check it. I have an Y-cable if needed.. Will report back
[Nexus S Accessories] avinashdelhi900:
Please update us as soon as u check on ur nexus s

[Nexus S Accessories] keb00:
Okay! ;)
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
Ok, so far no luck with anything. Tried pendrive, mouse, external HDD... The phone (app) recognizes that cable is OTG, so there shouldn't be a problem.. Im on AirKernel right now, might try matrix, but I doubt it will help since both have same files of OTG v5 from sztupy
[Nexus S Accessories] keb00:
I think you need a external power suply..

Because our Nexus dont have the Amp needed...
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
I use it! I have everything set up with Y cable, going to flash matrix kernel, hope it will work then
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
IT WORKS! muahahaha.. I dont know where was the problem, maybe in the external charger (I firstly used one with only 0,4A, not replaced with 1A) and I also used different Y cable..

Mouse Logitech MX400 worked flawless, also Logitech Rumblepad 2...

For pendrive, I had to use it in USB 1.0 hub, 2.0 doesn't work :/

/Also, expect few restarts and few hours configuring this
[Nexus S Accessories] avinashdelhi900:
Hi..can u please give details on what u bought n how did u manage to read pen drive....

Please I need my nexus to read pen drives. N play its files
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
I bought: OTG cable, Y-cable (I used the one I had from my external Samsung HDD), external power supply (USB charger, some Samsung and Sony Ericsson mobile have it, but I recommend to use powerful one, at least 1A ) and for reading pendrives, you need old (I dont know if its possible to buy new) USB HUB v1.0. It has to be USB 1.0 (the old standard)...

Here is how you should connect everything

Also, it may not work on first time, like mine, but just try, it should work on second try
[Nexus S Accessories] nosfaratu:
You can try this?

this is bad not to give 2.0
[Nexus S Accessories] Lordofminor:
Yes I tried that and as I said, it doesn't work for me.. Maybe I could try other USB 2.0 hub, but don't have another one right now
[Nexus S Accessories] keb00:
OK thanks for your feedback!

I have posted a lot of apps over here in the above post.

But i think that the Regular ones ones do not do it.

It is something else.

Even logcat seems confusing...:confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
I do not have all of these apps on my phone but some apps you can look at their settings to see if anything like turn on wifi/data at phone wake up or unlock. Elixir 2 can turn Wifi/data on/off and it may have automated trigger tasks too. Elixir is a great app but consumes a bit of CPU and drains battery on my phone so I stopped using it. Other apps to look at in your list are OS Monitor, Whatsapp.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smit.sanghavi:
I'll uninstall Elixir and see.

Whatsapp may not be an issue coz loads of ppl use it.

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out whats going on. I got the tmobile\walmart plan for $30 that includes 5gigs of data a month at 4g speeds. My phone is unlocked and with the tmobile sim I am only getting edge speeds right out of the box, so I tried flashing various t989 modems with no luck. I would either get edge, or when I would try to goto apn settings it would say no sim installed. Right now Im using the Telus Kj3 modem, and still only getting edge. I am right in the middle of St. louis so I think getting tmobile 4g shouldnt be a problem. Also im on stock 2.3.6 rom. Any ideas?

It should of been simple but it wasn't. After days of trying different roms and modems, and reading every page on it, I had no luck. So I invited someone over with a tmobile 4g phone, and I put my sim in it, and that phone didnt get 4g either. Finally figured out it was on tmobiles end, called them, and they fixed the issue. Also, after flashing the blaze modems, my phone said no sim card. The telus modem is the one that worked for me.

I had my wife call. I did not need a new sim. The first tech couldn't figure it out because he had her do things like take the battery out, and power cycle the phone which of course didn't work. So he escalated to a higher tech, which eventually tried "refreshing the signal." Wife said right after he did that, the 4g symbol came on my phone. Sadly though, Groove ip and talkatone don't carry a conversation to well while driving, even on 4g. I think I will try skype, and if that don't work I will have to switch my plan to something with more minutes. :(

Firstly, I am loving the BCM ICS for Desire: it is great!

The only issue I have had with it, is M2SD. I have tried every way possible (that I know of), including setting up with terminal, but I still keep getting 'unfortunately, # has stopped' errors when M2SD is enabled.

I have wiped, rebooted, factory reset and any other options I could read about here.

Setup:

Running the latest BCM ICS.

Alpharev Data ++

I get an additional 3-4 hours. It may not sound like much but there's a big difference between 14 and 18 hours.

Either way, it doesn't add much size/weight so it's worth it. Also, I think there's a 14 day return period for accessories and the battery qualifies so you can give it a try and return it if you don't think it's worth it.

Don't expect that much difference with the lte version add the gsm version. With the LTE extended it is still pretty bad. In a full day with 4G on I can get 2.5 hours of on screen time with the extended. Can't imagine how much worse stock battery can be. Maybe 30 minutes less?

I should throw it is my phone and even see if there is a difference. On wifi you can always expect better on screen time as it consumes less battery but I want more battery on 4G!
