[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Samsung releases 2 upgrades if the next firmware is around the corner when the device is released (as was the case with the S1 and now the S3)

Otherwise you're stuck with 1 upgrade.

Of course that's only the official ROM's. Many people here don't stick around very long on Original ROM's unless it's for warranty claims.

The S1 -despite claims by Samsung that it's hardware is not powerful enough- has an excellent flawless CM9 support and has the first Preview-version of Jellybean released. That will give it inofficial upgrades from the original 2.1 (Eclair) it shipped with over 2.2 (Froyo), 2.3 (Gingerbread), 4.0 (ICS) up to 4.1 (Jelly bean) and possibly counting.

And guess what... despite manufacturer's claims that Wifi Direct needed special hardware the S1 got it too in a CM9 update.

There's also a very functional inofficial CM9-build for low-powered devices such as Galaxy Ace, Gio, Mini, ... which only feature 256MB Ram. And that despite claims by (some) hardware manufacturers that ICS would under no conditions be able to run on anything below 1GB Ram.

In other words; you're stuck with old releases only if you don't know about Cyanogenmod or simply don't care.

(Of course there are other builds such as "real" AOSP, the AOKP, ... but CM9 gives the most bang for your device with all the nifty features they added.

Don't get me wrong I love android but the iPhone built quality is top, my son has the iPhone 4 never a problem with lag, screen issues, camera, it's very smooth, now the other hand,I like to custom my phone that's why I think android is top, but a lot of people don't care about that and that's why people choose the iPhone, and the reason I'm saying quality is every android phone I ever had after 4 months I had to send it in for some kind of problems every iPhone user that I know I just know 10 never compliant,except for battery life, but do far my gs3 is holding out great!I have had no problems at all
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SONE9:
My personal opinion is that, while both Iphones and Droids are perfectly able to be used straight out of the box, Iphones require the least setting up out of the two. If users who have/had Iphones wanted to set up their phones exactly how they want it, android provides more room to do so.

Simply put, if you just want a phone that is "Good" and requires little to no setup, Iphone is for you. If you like the thought of almost fully customizing your experience on your handset, then android is for you.

---------- Post added at 02:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

I agree that the iphone looks and feels very smooth, but you have to remember that there is only one hardware set for the iphone(insert model here) and that their OS is built and tuned towards that hardware alone, whereas there are how many different android devices with different hardware specs currently running stock ICS out of the box?

A simple way to look at it is this. Look at how many cases there are for the Iphone, and then look at how many there are for a specific android device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl323:
Hey all,

I've noted that the recent iteration of Chrome behaves oddly when hitting on a video link.

For example, if I go to ESPN and hit on the play button, I'd hear the audio part in the video, but no video. The only way to get it to work is to get the link to launch in a new tab in order to select the video player that I want. This never happened before. My defaults are properly set.

Any thoughts on what this could be due to?

Thanks~
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
in chrome, mines show a pop up of what I want to use play the video. whether I want to use a browser, MXplayer, Stickit mediaplayer, or overscreen browser. it doesn't do it on all videos but I think its the ones not optimized for html5. or if its a flash type.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djodpm:
I recently flashed the ICS leak, build # 6.7.2233_DBN_M4-3 and my Google Nav app nor any app that uses navigation works. The map will work, and it will find my location based on 3g/4g, but it will continually say "Searching for GPS" and hang. Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Not sure...I've been on 2233 since it was leaked and Google Maps Navigation followed me perfectly from Melbourne, FL to Isle of Palms, SC and back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] luffy1989:
My gps signal also locks on pretty fast...before it would do it once in a while but on ics it locks on in one second every time Mine actually working faster and better if not the same. Just try uninstall and redownload.. If u haven't already..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] twinkyz1979:
Maybe instead of using the old leak try 232. I have yet to have any issues with anything i have used so far on that one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dc4479:
Mine keeps losing GPS signal, then will come back about 30 seconds later. Not really good when you're trying to get thru D.C.

Oh, I'm on .230. Probably gonna flash .232 later and test it out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tombaldwin6:
I'm having the same issue. running 2233.Can you post if running a different leak fixes it? Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vnvjeep:

Hey all, I received my Inc4G Monday and I am a really enjoying this phone, and but I get an annoying hiss through wired ear buds or wired headphones... the hiss is less if I disable beats audio. Does anyone else have this issue? Do I need to buy beats ear buds to filter the hiss?

Thanks for any insight.

Disregard this post, I got a replacement phone now audio works great!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] FiddlerMD:
I have the hiss also when I use an audio cable in my car. It seems like a ground loop or some sort of induction issue cause when I move the wire, the hiss disappears. Would love to solve it, really annoying.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jonah1234:
Happened to me to but on an ipod touch
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
Could be a bad cable or audio jack if the noise goes away with cable movement. If you suspect a ground loop you need an isolator along the lines of this...

Hey Guys I have been changing roms alot on my HD2 but I run them off the SD card, which from my experience so far isnt bad at all. But what I would like to do is Dual run WP7 and then Android off the Sd card. Only problem I have is that my physical back button does not work, and every time I se something about flashing a rom with magdlr its says something about using the back button. I guess my question is, is there anay way I can Run WP7 on Nand without having to use my back button? Any help I really appreciate...(and if this is not the right area to ask please let me know and I will move my question to the appropriate place) thanks in advance, :fingers-crossed:

This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read:

1. You're asking a question in the DEVELOPMENT FORUMS.

2. You're asking a question about WP7/SD Android in the NAND forums.

3. You clearly haven't done enough searching before asking your question

4. Your thread is titled wrongly. 'Some questions' doesn't give the people who are trying to help you any information, and I would have just skipped over this thread had it not been in the wrong forum.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
as above, you deserve the roasting, , ,however, since i'm in a rare good mood, , the answer is no, you don't need the back button at all to flash magldr/cwm/clk/nand roms/wp7 roms. Send, end and voldown are all you need.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] majicdj100:
Really?!?

This type of answer is definitely understandable, but for

1. I could have sworn people have ran WP7 on the NAND and Android on the SD card (meaning the base is WP7 and they can run Android off the SD card.) ...maybe im wrong

2. You are correct I havent done enough researching on it, I was going based off some Youtube vids and what some people kept tellin me.

3. My thread isn't titled "Some questions" my thread is titled "Serious Question...please help" and I understand that I posted in the wrong place which is why if you read my whole post I established that I would move it if needed.

4. Im a noob when it comes to the HD2 I do understand that...but no need to act like a sarcastic **** about it :D

:D I do understand why I deserve some roasting, but I thank you for not coming back with some sarcastic answer. I really appreciate it honestly and I will try to flash it since you said I will not need the physical back button to do so.

I believe I have used this before and it has worked, but thanks for your input as well :good:

dear xda members

i own a galaxy tab for six months. the first time i got it, it was locked to Orange (Europe) under froyo 2.2, but i unlocked it to make it work here in Algeria.

sometimes it get locked by it self after a reboot! something i did notice after one month, and then it repeatedly hapen every week or so, then i decided to get stock gingerbread jq1 (i do like custom roms but i prefer using my device with stock system) because i thought it will wipe the system and let no trace of Orange crap, suddenly i was wrong, because it keep showing me Orange in the satut bar (at least one time per day) along with my provider (Djezzy), when it hapen, the phone force close all active applications and i lose signal for a while, until its gone and got back my provider signal.

please help, any suggestion is very welcome, even if it is a custom rom (a stable one)

thanks

You can try Hyperdroid. It has SIM unlock build into the boot up.

Any idea how to fix a frozen screen?? I was moving an app from one screen to the next and it froze on that part. Now the device seems unresponsive. Holding power buttons or volume rockers does nothing.

Anyway to fix this?? Or should I just wait for the battery to die.

Thanks guys/girls
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Usually Power + Vol Down or Power + Vol Up or Power + Vol Down + Vol Up

Try each of those and hold them for at least 10 seconds...should reboot.

frozen screen

Same thing has happened to me, twice-first when I first was going through the set up, no response until multiple reboots, was able to set up device. Again today on fully set up N7, unless i rubbed the screen repeatedly then it would change desktops and "refreeze", until multiple reboots via holding power button down, then the device finally worked ok-hopefully a driver issue.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
What's important to you, is low light environment shot/video important? if so, then Evo hands down. Other normal light condition seem to be on par. For me low light was what I'm aiming for when it comes to phone camera. I was super disappointed when my og evo camera could not take photo/cam for jack especially low light and swore I would think twice before buying HTC product that was known for crappy camera. But this Evo LTE is no slouch man pic and video from it by far one of the top and very nice in low light better than some top phone. So now it's all up to you pal.

First of all, i dont know if this is the right place to ask something like this.

I have a xperia x8 and im thinking about selling it and get another phone, my two choices are Lumia 800 and G Nexus.

The store have both at same price and I kinda liking how WP7 is looking but the news about the WP8 are a bit dispointing, on the other hand the Nexus will have updates almost for sure.

How is the WP7 behaving in general, the lack of thousands of apps like android is a problem or the important things are there?
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
I vote Nexus.

If you don't mind being stuck on WP7 and never being updated to WP8, as well as a rather boring interface, be my guest. The keyboard on WP7 is pretty awesome though, I have never used a better on screen keyboard.

Otherwise, the gnex runs Android with much more customization, many future updates, all those nexus android goodies

I know you asked him, and he's the king of cases, but I'll contribute.

In have the Case Mate barely there. It fits the phone really tight and keeps the slim design and it fits on the dock. The downside is that the camera is not entirely protected, as it sticks out very very slightly. Like .2mm

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
That's a common complaint about cases for this phone. The power button is angled so most cases have trouble pressing down on it. The only way I can for sure press the power button with this case every time is to press on the very left of the button. Works every time.

The volume buttons are perfect though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
K I just found my PT Surface case and it does NOT fit in the dock. At least not comfortably. The problem with it is that the back of the case is too thick and if you wedge the connector into the phone you'll risk damaging both the dock and the phone. I'm sure you can actually get it in there but no way in hell would I risk my phone like that.

I tried to show it in this picture but it is a good 1.5-2mm off. When putting the phone in naturally, the dock connector hits the phone body just underneath the USB port on the phone. The front of the dock connector literally lines up flush with the back of the USB port. No bueno.
