Are you syncing your Picasa albums to your tablet? Settings, Accounts, Google, email address, Google Photos.

[Xperia Play General] fareeed:
Hey, well I've more or less broke the phone functionality on my Play (Bent pin inside sim tray) I really dont want to waste any more on repairing it... Anyways I've been looking at replacements and I'm stuck between the Xperia U and P. Right now I'm tipped more towards the P due to memory limitations on the U as I do tend to use quite a lot of storage space. I use a lot of apps, have a large music library etc. Also the P does have better specs but is it worth the price jump? Or do you think I should go with a different phone all together? Any ideas? Thanks :)
[Xperia Play General] CyberScopes:
i think u should get another xperia play.
[Xperia Play General] m2maddy:
Xperia U Unlocked and brand new costs around $240, so that is a definite good deal to me.

The major bottleneck though is the internal memory of puny 4GB without SD Card slot.

If you keep lots of music and lots videos/games then this is not an option.

If you are ok with not so famous brand, then ZTE has viable options but not that I recommend it.

[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
i have bought the P why?

larger screen

whitemagic screen (really great)

more ram (more update proof)

more flash
[Xperia Play General] tiagoSequeira:
Xperia P is very nice in every single detail but it's very expensive for it's features. You should get a galaxy nexus, that's what I would get
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
i wanted to buy the galaxy nexus.

i tried both (in the shop) and the xperia P is faster!

ok updates will take longer, but if development really starts it is a really great and fast phone.

screen is better the the galaxy nexus

faster

better camera
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
I'm getting an Xperia S down to the fact that it has 32GB internal storage compared to Xperia P's 16GB, I think now is the time that most of us Xperia 2011 users are considering a new device, I've had this device for a year tomorrow :P

I would get the Xperia P if it had at least expandable memory, Love the Xperia P aluminium case :P

Anyway I'm keeping my Xperia Play for gaming.

@OP: Get an Xperia P, More sexiii!!!!! No really it feels REALLY nice in the hand.
[Xperia Play General] tiagoSequeira:
Xperia P really is sexy, it's certainly better than U so, here's your answer. But you didn't try GNexus with Jellybean did you? If you did Xperia P would't be certainly the fastest
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
i am sure when the P gets cm10 (very soon) it will be faster then gnexus and when the official jb comes (end of this year) it will still be faster
[Xperia Play General] fareeed:
Thanks guys, I've tried the Gnexus and I don't think it's as smooth as the P. I think I'll go with the P for more or less the same reasons nick stated, I'm still keeping my play though :)
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
I'm thinking of getting an Xperia S in november because Devs have touchpads working on Xperia Ray, etc ports.

Anyway as I said get an Xperia P!
[Xperia Play General] fareeed:
Nice, in fact I just ordered the S. I seen a really good deal that was to good to pass over so I went for it, can't wait :D
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
none of them , if you are gamer , if you aren't , then hyabusa or galaxsy s3 or HTC one X
[Xperia Play General] LG_fuad92:
Xperia go or acro S? If you dropped your phone much.xD
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
If you can live with touchscreen controls for games, I would personally go for the HTC One X.

I wouldn't touch another Sony handset because of their poor record with software updates, they also tend to be overpriced and underspecced.
[Xperia Play General] nickholtus:
Then dont go for htc

Their update support is even worse (look at dhd and some other phones)
[Xperia Play General] Zerosuit Connor:
The Xperia Sola has an sd-card slot and near descent specs.
[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
HTC seem to be doing much better on that score lately.
[Xperia Play General] jeffbud98:
They the galaxy nexus if or still

on contract. Its 350 from the play store
[Xperia Play General] ridder215215:
Go for the HTC Sensation, it has a great developer community and in my opinion better specifications than the U or P.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrupted223:
I just got my TF300 after selling my 101. Very happy but decide to flash a new rom and hydro looks awesome. Got TWRP installed and found to my dismay I had forgotted the step of moving the zip to internal sd after wiping. And I forgot to make a backup.

For the life of me I cannot get my desktop to recognize the tablet or load drivers, or see it with "adb devices". I am humbly asking for help and realize by getting to excited I probably lost my new tablet. Is there any way to recover from here?

I will be back on first thing the morning. Thank you in advance.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrupted223:
Yes TWRP works fine.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatisandwas:
Can you only flash the roms from the internal memory?

Can you not just copy a rom to the micro sd card and flash it? What i mean is just take a micro sd card out of your transformer put it in your phone and download a rom copy it to the micro sd and then put it back in to the transformer and flash via twrp
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrupted223:
Everything I have found says there is no support for flashing from card, has to be done from the internal card.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatisandwas:
Wow really?? See i haven't rooted/flashed yet because of all these strange little issues that seem to be popping up on this tablet. Have you tried flashing via micro sd yet? I read on another thread that someone did a minute ago.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrupted223:
It says right underneath that TWRP does not support flashing from the sd card. Trying to figure out how to either flash cw over TWRP or get a push through adb. Still not recognizing the pad on my desktop. I have a ubuntu live cd downloading now, looking for instructions on how to do a push with that right now.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatisandwas:
Got ya...So CWM does and TWRP doesn't. Ill have to keep that in mind if i do decide to unlock/flash. Well hopefully linux will work for you and you can push everything through ADB. Its pretty universal for instructions on how to push files through terminal. Have you used linux before?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrupted223:
Me and linux never got along much. Got the live cd to at least see the pad. Having issues with permissions though, every time i attempt a push it says insufficent device permissions. Trying to get the usb initialization file fixed. I hate dealing with this.

Hey all, this is probably a total noob question but, if I boot into clockwork recovery and clear the cache/data and/or the dalvik cache and then boot back into my rom, will it still work?

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
Hello have a good day,

As the title shows I have an archos 80 g9 1.2ghz edition I have searched but my problem with my tablets touchscreen is different from others. i gave this tablet as a gift to my sister upon vacation here in the Phils. Several weeks ago, we updated the tablet to Archos latest stock firmware 4.0.7 and it runs good after the update and played several movie streaming afterwards. While streaming movies the tablet keep on playing and wouldn't respond to touch. We turned off the tablet and let it rest for a while and sure upon booting it up again it works that seems it has no problem, but after several minutes the touchscreen hangs again and won't respond. I turned off and recalibrated the tablets touchscreen upon next boot but it's still the same as usual it hangs after several minutes of use. I have tried forced calibration in the recovery several times and the results is still the same. Have re- installed twice the official archos 4.0.7 firmware but nada still get the same results. The last thing I do because I thought maybe its a firmware issue was to install surdu petro custom 4.0.7 rom which I have flash successfully. Ihave formatted the disk prior to flash to clear it of any previous files but the tablet still behaves the same.

I know its only the touchscreen because even if the touchscreen hangs when I paired my sgs2 as a remote to the tablet it still responds and function as it should only I cannot control the tablet to the touch. I just want to ask if someone had experienced this situation and how you dealt with it. If it is a hardware issue thus anybody tried to open the tablet maybe a connector to the touchscreen digitizer is loose that when the tablet heats with use, the connector expands and lost contacts. i really need an insight on how to do these. Shipping the tablet back for warranty would cost more since I have brought already the tablet here in the Philippines. Any guide or solution is greatly appreciated.:confused: Will be trying to install older firmware later.

Thanks in advance

edit: already seen some teardown and pics from this forum and will do a teardown fix if firmware flashing won't work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbq:
Hi folks, I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus running Android Jelly Bean (4.1.1). Since I bought it, with ICS, and even now it has had the same problem: whenever I start a call or answer one, it immediately changes to 2g (I checked on settings, sometimes it's gprs, sometimes EDGE, but always 2g). This results in poor call quality and in several cases, dropped calls. When I'm not on a call, the 3G works fine and fast.

I checked this forum and didn't find any question regarding this matter, does any one has the same issue or it's just my phone? Is it a bug or is it meant to be this way?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Definitely not meant to work that way. I'd talk to your carrier. Might be a network or SIM problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_cents:
well as I'm sure you all did.... the first thing I did when you got your N7 was to unlock and root it so you could load up all the games that you worked hard at on your phone... everything was great until it slipped off of my car seat when I got home and now it will not recognise the USB port while its powered on... my computer will not recognize the device at all to transfer data either... luckily I have already unlocked/ rooted and loaded team win recovery...

so here is my question... where can I look to see if something got broken when I dropped it... I took off the back cover and and everything looks ok...

my other question is will google replace it if I send it back saying that the cable does not charge while powered on... I can not relock/ return to stock without usb/adb connection

the length of turn around time that I hear about with the 16gb models I might wait it out to see if I can deal with it... I have a wifi web sharing app that I can use even though its very slow compared to a direct cable
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenn37216:
If you can get back to the stock rom ...I'd sent it back if it's all possible.The Rma is quick and painless if your tablet was bought on Google Play.

- The turn around time for me on a 8gb and 16 gb tablets from Google play was just a few days. (Under a week from the time I called until the time I got my tablets in my hands. )
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_cents:
Well I let it charge off for the night and it is charged 100%... I guess I'll just rely on wifi connectivity for a while and see if I can manage before I try and return it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PROlific666:
That really sucks man typically they won't replace a device that has been unlocked. Have you tried a factory reset yet? I I know it sounds unlikely but I have had accelerometers go to "sleep" from being dropped and or a faulty rom and a factory reset brought it back. Its really weird since you do get a charge when its off.. if it was broken hardware I would think you wouldn't get a charge at all. Make sure you do a nandroid backup before so you can get your apps back if it doesn't fix your problem.

Also about the RMA for the 16gb I believe now they are actually out of that model at the time. They may have a stash just for returns but if you decide to try a return I would make sure to find out what the estimated wait time would be.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two_cents:
Yea that's the weird part... But I did flash it back to stock ROM but nothing worked... If I could get USB to work I could flash it back to stock and lock it... Its a loose wire somewhere inside I'm thinking
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhnatenor:
My N7 16gb charged properly on the first charge. Now on the second charge, it will only charge while powered off. My device is stock and has not been dropped.

I plugged it in last night, while powered on, and woke up to find the battery in about the same state that it was in 8 hours earlier. That was with it plugged into a 2.5 amp HP Touchpad charger. I tried plugging it into a 1 amp charger and got no indication that it e was charging, until i turned it off. Then it put up the charging indicator. I will try using the N7 charger and see if that makes any difference.

It is possible, but very unlikely, that the device is doing a handshake with the charger when the device is powered on, and if it fails then refuses to charge. If that were happening i would expect to see a warning pop up on the device.

UPDATE: My device will charge properly off the asus charger that came with it. It totally sucks that the N7 appears to do a handshake with the charger. My advice to the OP is to make sure you only use the original charger. :(

Hi, hope someone can help :-0

I dropped my Nexus (oh dear!) and the screen's cracked. It powers OK, just I can't unlock as the touchscreen is not responding.

Asus UK can repair it, but can't quote me a price (because they've had so few repairs in yet)

1. Anyone dealt with Asus UK repairs? Or any ideas of the costs of replacing a broken screen?

2. Can I reset the device by just using the on/off and volume keys as the touchscreen is dead

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
I haven't tried the nightly builds, but I assume they should work perfectly fine and it works fine with JB roms. Most of the time mms problems are related to apn settings, provided by your carrier.

I have had good and bad success with SD content depending on container format, movement and other factors that tend to pop up with video encoding. 720p is close, it looks like the Tegra2 devices will need hardware decode support for 720p or 1080p based on the framerates I was seeing.
