[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
i'd def email the developer. and i'd also bet money it's not an issue in ICS. doesn't sound hardware related.. unless one of you has one that is giving feedback... have you tried skyping a computer via the ion? one at a time see if it's one phone or the other? or if they both do it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] petes67bird:
Thanks for the replies. Spoke to a skype agent today and they told me that currently there is no certification or testing that has been done on the ION and it is not an approved device. They did not have a timeframe, but have told me that they personally have had several ION calls already about numerous issues with video and audio quality and hope to have it fixed soon. Thanks guys. Pete
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dizarmstrong:
I had a pretty similar crappy experience with skype with me trying to video call my wife on her atrix. Neither phone seemed to want to connect, and when it did, video quality was very poor. I then decided to try tango and I have to say--I'm pretty impressed.

Setup was simple (less than 30 seconds) and it automatically scanned my contacts to find others with tango accounts. The video and audio quality is excellent and the ui is very simple. All in all, I'd say I have zero reason to try skype ever again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
Year, I love Tango. It also notifies you if any of your friends join. Pretty impressive.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
I purchased a GS3 from newegg and I'm trying to work out the country of origin for warranty service. Here's the kicker: I'm trying to do this without opening the box and voiding their return policy as I haven't decided whether to keep it.

(Basically, newegg told me it was new-in-box, but later said it might have been 3rd party unlocked with no warranty other than that provided by their vendor in the US. So I'm trying to independently verify the country of origin and warranty status since newegg is no help.)

I'm still new at this, but would the Final Assembly Code portion of the IMEI tell me the country of origin?

I also tried looking up the IMEI and found the issuer was British Approvals Board of Telecommunications. I thought this might mean that it's a British handset, but that might be a bit of a leap.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
Try checking the CSC. You can find it by either way:

1) By connecting to KIES and checking the code (3 alphabets).

2) By going to the dialler on the phone and pressing *#1234#.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Again, I'm trying to see if this can be determined without opening the box. I have the IMEI code, which is on the sticker outside the box. Do you know how I can determine the country of origin from the code? The FAC is 05. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
That's not possible but why don't you have warranty from the shop where you purchased it? If there is some kind weird warranty thing going on juat retutn it and invest few more bucks to the device from trusted dealer

Just call Samsung customer servic in your country, i did and they can tell you from the imei number the country of origin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Thanks for all the advice, though I'm still hoping that someone can tell me which country is identified by the Factory Assembly Code 05.

I've called Samsung US three times. And tried their chat bot. And tried Samsung in Australia and the UK. No luck.

Tried that, too. Didn't have it in the database.

In brief, it appears that newegg gets their phones from a third party rather than direct from Samsung. That doesn't mean the phones aren't new, but they don't know (or won't tell) the country of origin. I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Central or South America.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
Just to follow up: I called Samsung again and this time got someone with a brain who looked up the IMEI and told me the phone is of British origin. Of course, then she gave me the number for Samsung's Canada office...

Anyway, I called Samsung UK and was able to verify not only that it is a British phone, but that it has an extended warranty good through August 2014. Not sure how that happened, but not going to complain, either!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmttinman:
I have order one from Newegg also. HAVE YOU TRIED IT YET? Does it work? Never had problems with Newegg on warranty before.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beetmonger:
It works and appears to be new. I've been pretty happy with it so far, but I probably wouldn't order from newegg again since they make you click through a disclaimer that phones might not be new.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electric0ant:
hmm might have to give this a try to see where my S3 came from, does this mean the country where it was meant to be sold, not where it was manufactured right?

it's just that grey market imports are rampant here in Hong Kong and you can't tell if its been repackaged with the correct adapters and language manuals etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrookie:
Bottom Line

Bottom line, there is no guarantee of of any cell phone you buy being what is claims to be. If you buy online, realize that if you are getting a killer deal, something is amiss. Cell phones are just like perishables, they do drop as they get older, but there is little difference in price between Amazon, New Egg, etc. If you find a seller selling $100 cheaper than everyone else, something is sketchy. If someone wants to take a used phone and make it look new, you will never know the difference. Buy your cell phone from somewhere that gives you a warranty, better if it is an actual local store or someone you trust.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tyfighter:
Is there a method for changing the rogers splash screen? I figured out how to do the regular boot animation and now I just need this.

edit: found another thread on this, could a passing mod please delete.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
How? If you manage to get a new splash, please post here :P No delete!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
can you also point me towards how to change the boot animation ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tyfighter:
On Osimood, the boot animation is located at /system/media/sanim.zip so just put your new boot animation in those coordinates (backup the old one first if you want). I used root browser to do so, its in the market.

And unfortunately, I've yet to figure out the splash screen. But there is a thread in the general section on the subject that I'm watching hopefully.
[Sony Tablet S] typedink:
Has anyone had the unfortunate luck of scratching your screen? Mine got scratched by accident by a headphones twist tie. I don't even know how it got in the case with my tablet as I kept it apart from anything that could damage it until I could get a protector... I think someone might have tossed it in there not knowing what they were doing, i.e. thinking they were helping me not lose the earphones...

Anyone know the best way to try and repair a scratch on the tablet?
[Sony Tablet S] Danzdroid:
It has a protector from the factory, and that is probably the only thing scratched. Search this forum for instructions on peeling it off so you can replace it.
[Sony Tablet S] typedink:
Wow, didn't even realize it had a protector on. After I had ordered one and had it waiting to try and fix the scratch. Thank you for pointing that out!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] humdrum2009:
Went to a storage auction today hoping to find some good stuff.

or at least break even on my bid.

garbage looking unit nothing special a few cardboard boxes.

some fishing equipment.

long story short i bid $80.00 and won it looked like i was foolish to bid that much.

got home unloaded the 6 or so boxes old cell phone cases,dead cell phones from the old Nokia wood grain days.

one plastic bag looked out of place in a box grabbed the bag and behold

a new galaxy tab 10.1 in the box opened but still had the plastic on the screen.

wowsers it makes my month to get a $400.00 tablet for $80.00:cool:

i have a tf300t so im gonna sell it probably on the xda marketplace since ebay will eat away at the sale lol.

anyway how is the tf300t compared to the tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GazaIan:
Pretty lucky. This tablet is awful in comparison to the TF300T. Still, you can sell that and make a decent amount if money.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bigdfmartin:
I'm still waiting for my SI number to come up, and I'm starting to get a little impatient. I'm considering going ahead and using flashtool, but if I go to that much trouble, why not just go ahead and root?

Here is the reason for my question: I rooted my x10mp to upgrade to 2.2 since there weren't going to be any more official updates. That gave me some capabilities (like apps2sd) that weren't available on 2.1.

So, what can I gain by rooting my 2011 xmp?

dave
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
are your phone x10 mini pro or xperia mini pro?

xmp is the one that getting ics not x10mp :silly:

btw to answer your root question. nothing really.

i only root just to use v6supercharger, market enabler to install some apps that cant be installed "this item cannot be installed in your country" (because i live outside US), titanium backup, and link2sd for moving apps/data/cache to sd. thats about it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bigdfmartin:
My old phone is the x10 minipro. My current phone is the 2011 minipro. Edited my first post for clarity, thanks.

dave
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coringa_alemao:
probably not

of course, this depends what you want to do with your phone... imho, if you have not decided to root your device for other reasons then it is not worth to root it for getting ICS: If you use stock ROM + a small amount of other apps and feel happy about it you probably don"t need root. ICS would give you a little icing on that gingerbread
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Publiuss:
IMO, definitely YES!

Definitely, it's worth! :D

Just root, no other mods, to just install some useful apps and achieve control over which you bought: your connections (droidwall...), your CPU and battery (cputuner...), backup (titanium...), adblocking (adaway...), autostart (autorun manager...), or just VIEW how is your system made (root explorer...).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bigdfmartin:
I played with all of that stuff on my x10mp, but I don't really play with this phone as much. I forgot about adblock, though. That's a good enough reason to root for me. Thanks!

dave
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] un.Known:
Well

Well

You will be able to do a lot of things

u can remove unwanted system apps (i use AntTek app manager)

u can modify system files

u can use apps that needs root (like root browser ,market enablers ,etc)

if you find yourself in need to do any of the above

then root

otherwise don't

it doesn't make a lot of difference

specially if you are on ICS:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bigdfmartin:
Got my XMP rooted and flashed to ICS. Took me a couple of hours to do it, but part of that time was spent figuring out my antivirus software on the computer. Ran a repair with PCC and lost root, so I had to do it over again, which took me about 45 minutes. Thought I'd try to run a repair on SUS, but I was afraid I'd wipe out root again, so I skipped that step.

Got some root-only apps, reinstalled most of my old apps, did some housecleaning. Everything looks good and it seems to run just fine. Now I just need to do the same for my girlfriend's XMP.

Just a couple of things: I lost my calendar info with the upgrade, though I tried to back up everything. Also, I'm wondering about skipping the repair with SUS or PCC.

Hi all, let me get right to it. I searched the related threads on this subject but still not much luck in fixing my issue.

I have had the message, "low on space" almost since installing Android 2.2.1 on my HTC HD2.

I'll keep it brief but I had my phone finally lock up while running windows 6.5, so I finally installed Android and briefly loved it until I realized it seems to have its own problems. Mainly the phone locks up after watching a minute or two of youtube video. Sometimes is locks up just playing around with other less intensive apps. It even says, text message rejected due to full memory. Is this a memory issue? Did I install Android right? When I run Advanced task killer it says I have 300M free. Do I have bad blocks maybe?

Anyway's I installed Android 2.2.1

Baseband version: 15.42.50.11u_2.15.50.14

Kernal version: 2.6.32.15ocm_hastarin8.6N-gb02686c-dirtyroot@ocm #2

Edit: with a lot of search on google [I mean a lot] and a friend helping me, I was finally able to do some stuff. With apktool I managed to decompile, and just easy, I've been able to edit a Theme chooser apk like it was mine, edit the xml files and the arsc files were already decompiled. By myself I could also add some apps to the APKs, like chrome. [PS: if someone has a cool Google Chrome square icon, please share :)]

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonGarrett:
hi boys and girls.

I have a problem here.,

I updated my Galaxy S II to ICS which made a mess of things. (crashes, freezes, force closes apps not working etc, so I decided to go back to Gingerbread.

It seemed to have worked until I got to the set up new phone screen at which point Im getting an error message that reads:

The application Google services framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

I plug it into my pc and it is not recognized., I cannot flash the rom again because my pc is not detecting my phone.

any advice?

thnx.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocirahl:
You should still be able to connect to your phone while it's in download mode in order to flash a new ROM. Or in CWM for that matter.

If you can't connect in either download or CWM, then unless you have the wrong drivers, your usb port is busted man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foister82:
by not recognized do you mean;

It does not charge or give any indication that the connection is made

or

it charges (may or may not give you USB file transfer option) but the pc says "drivers were not installed" even if you have the drivers installed already

i'm sure you're probably well beyond my knowledge with these things but just in case try debugging on and debugging off...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonGarrett:
It makes the sound when a USB device is plugged in., then the phone begins charging but that's it. it no longer shows up as a device I can browse and when I launch kies., its not able to find my device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonGarrett:
I cant flash a new ROM because my devices is not detected., my USB ports are working fine. I plug in my phone., I hear the tone the computer makes when a device is connected., phone begins charging but I cannot do anything else with it because its not detected so I cant flash or do anything else.

All drivers are installed and all my Galaxy Note is all good and kies sees it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonGarrett:
Thank you guys for all your help but I just solved the problem.

I went into download mode and using kies even though kies and my pc said no device was connected.

then I chose firmware upgrade and initialization., followed the onscreen instructions and now my GS2 is back in business.

the only thing is Im still stuck with ICS which sucks ass!! apps that used to work dont work anymore., phone crashes freezes and force closes.

now that I know how to fix it maybe I can find a working Stock Gingerbread ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blutruck:
I would try uninstalling Kies and then reinstall it. This should reinstall the drivers (when you connect the device via usb) and may fix the problem. There are different drivers for each device Sammy makes.
