With the new Fire HDs coming, one would hope we can get at least yank an updated apk from them that will work in the next couple of weeks.

Amazon has been on a roll, laying out apps for PS3, 360, and the iPad. Surely they're at least working on a broad release of the easiest one of all, Android, one of the first they had working. Surely. If you haven't used their support form to request an Android app for all tabs, please do so now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lancerator:
Let me get this straight some of you are streaming on the tf700 on amazon prime instant video and having no sync issues? Cause I just upgraded to the tf700 and mine is way out of sync.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BTrack:
I posted the same question regarding Amazon Instant Video lag in browsers on the TF700. My video lags about 1/2 second. Enough to be annoying. I've tried the stock browser, Boat Browser, and ICS+ to no avail.

Ironically, I had no issues streaming Amazon's Instant Videos on the Prime I returned in order to get my Infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
I'm currently streaming Super 8 using Dolphin Browser without a problem (performance mode).

[Asus Transformer TF700] Lancerator:
well I went to performance mode on dolphin and it does do a bit better. Its to bad I had no problem with the prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Amazon Prime sucked on my Xoom. Over at the Motorola Xoom Forum, a very knowledgeable poster (gmanapps) posted the following explanation for the Xoom issues:

------------------------------

Prior to ICS, flash had support for each individual CPU/GPU combo with specific video acceleration code for each type of CPU/GPU (OMAP, Snapdragon, Tegra, etc) which meant that flash could totally take advantage of the hardware.

When adobe ported flash to ICS they used the new ICS API. Under ICS all devices are only required to support the lowest encoding profile, but may support the higher bitrate encoding profiles.

Adobe decided that since only the lower bitrate profile was guaranteed to work with hardware acceleration accross all ICS device, to only send the lower bit rate profiles through the ICS hardware accelerated API. Everything else is done as software decoding inside of flash. So while the Xoom hardware is capable of accelerating/decoding the higher bitrate encoded data, flash no longer sends it to the GPU for decoding and tries to do it in software which is slow.

Amazon's content is encoded in one of 4 different mpeg encoding profiles. One of the profiles goes through hardware acceleration and works fine. But higher bitrate data profiles get stuck getting decoded in flash's software decoder and looks horrible.

Adobe could have provided a configuration option, test or other method to allow individuals to enable decoding of the other profiles in hardware....or at least try it and see if it worked on their device. On many devices it would work. But they chose not to go that route.

So unless you are running a high end quad core device, with a small screen, the software decoding of much of higher resolution flash content is going to be painful to watch.

------------------------------

Out of curiousity I just tried it with Dolphin on my Galaxy S3 phone - HD video of Downton Abbey looked beautiful and had no synch issues at all. But a very small picture ...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
Have the new ATT ICS installed and rooted,

Researched what to do to get tether to work, found a CWM install that was a work around the ATT hot spot option.

With the above hot spot fix I no longer get the notification I need to call ATT to activate this feature.

When I start the hot spot, my laptop connects via wifi, but the laptop shows no internet connectivity. If I open the browser on the laptop I get no pages displayed, it wants to diagnose the problem.

So I decided to try the other option, which is to use Titanium backup and freeze the tetheringprovision.apk, this did nothing.

I tried Foxfi because that is what I used with GB, of course it did the same reporting no internet activity when connected to the laptop.

So is there something that I have missed, or should I just push a new ROM from here to the device.

If you say yes push away, then which ROM is working successfully with tethering.?

Thanks for your help.

Well, 2 days ago I seem to have lost most of my contacts. Only 2 that were on the SIM were still available. Fine, I just added them again. But now they are gone again. I thought they were synced via Exchange but when I check the box to sync, none of my contacts are added...

Any help?

Make sure none of your apps tinker with the contacts.

I dont have many apps so dont think that is a cause...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wicked1683:
Try to clear the data of your contacts app in the Application settings before re adding everything again... Lots of problem can be solve by doing that.. Maybe Samsung wants us to clear everything manuallym to fix every single issue in this device... :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FL00DY:
I feel really really stupid for having to post this, and so I hope it's a difficult solution.

I suddenly cant work out how to paste stuff? I can type a word, hold down on it, select the cut or copy button. But I cant get the Paste option show up. I'm doing the exact same thing I've done for other Android versions. I'm on the SGS3 and I've had the the previous 2 galaxys, it's running 4.0.4 & XXLEF firmware.

What's wrong with me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atchleya19:
Probably gonna be a terrible response but I sold one the other day and the customer had a problem with copy and paste on the S3 cuz she had long nails... She could do it just fine on my Nexus, but had trouble on her S3. I however could do either perfectly fine. Maybe it's the angle you're doing it at or even try holding it down longer....

Again, probably not gonna help your situation... but figured id share
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FL00DY:
I just had a look on Renovate 3 4.0.4 ROM HTC OneX of a guy I work with and copy paste function works fine for him... do I need to be asking in the SGS3 forum?

Can I ask what firmware the S3 had? I'm using Swiftkey3 and have tried GO Keyboard and the same problem, copy and paste isn't dependent on which keyboard you use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FL00DY:
I've just tried doing this out of my imo messenger and it crashed it, it's also been crashing Chrome when I tried copying. So this seems to be a Samsung thing... Can I have this moved to the S3 forum Q&A please, thanks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
In my Galaxy S, first I need to SELECT words. Then, I can cut or copy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FL00DY:
Like I say, when I hold down on a word it selects the word for me :good: Still doesnt fix the paste problem :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
Install Clipper from Play Store to pin-point the problem. See that texts go to clipboard or not. Or, the problem is with pasting only.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] büscher:
Hello together

I tried something and it seems to work, so I share it:

I managed to manually install XLoud Engine to my rooted Galaxy S Advance (took the files for the Galaxy Y).

For me it is not possible to push files with adb, so I had to do it with root explorer.

1. Download http://www.mediafire.com/?0pn39apg27pqw2a

2. Extract the files to your sdcard

3. Backup your libaudioeffect_jni.so: (with adb or whatever)

mv /system/lib/libaudioeffect_jni.so /system/lib/libaudioeffect_jni.so.bak

4. Copy the files to the folders they belong to (with Root Explorer)

AudioEffectService.apk to /system/app

libxloudwrapper.so to /system/lib/soundfx

semc_audioeffectif.jar to to /system/framework

com.sonyericsson.audioeffectif.xml to /system/etc/permissions

libaudioeffect_jni.so to /system/lib

5. Change the owner of all these files to root.root (with adb: chown root.root filename)

6. Change the permissions of all files to rw-r--r-- (with adb: chmod 644 filename)

7. Edit your build.prop (with root explorer text editor and wifi keyboard to type the text)

# XLoud Engine
ro.semc.sound_effects_enabled=true
ro.semc.xloud.supported=true
persist.service.xloud.enable=1

8. Reboot and try it

My phone still plays music and its loud (I don't have another phone to compare but I'm pretty sure it is much louder than before)

--! I'm not responsible if you brick your phone! You are doing this at your own risk!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] RodrigoOgasawara:
Will try it later, but its good to see some development for this device, really thanks!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] mfjdfj:
hallo

you could it even more detailed and step for step explain so that I know what I must do and währe with images not bad.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] büscher:
if you don't know how to do it with this guide you probably schouldn't do it at all. i even wrote the commands you need with adb.

I think its better for you to wait for a cwm for our phone and then for the cwm pakage for xloud.

I don't want you to brick your phone...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Bonez1802:
works great,, thank you.. phone is loud as hell.. :D

should be some application icon in drawer?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] titus1:
Can one achieve the same thing by just simply installing Volume+ app?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] büscher:
@Bonez: there is no app in drawer, the app runs as service.

@titus: did not try that...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] gustavray:
works perfectly :) thanks
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Jonny:
This method also works for all phones - we use it on the HTC Sensation for ROMs that dont have it baked in but we also edit audio-effect.config in system/etc/ for libxloudwrapper ;)

There appears to be a big lack of development for this phone. Just wondering if anyone expects things to pickup? I just come from a galaxy nexus and while I know that that it's one of the most favored phones from the developers side, I'm currently disappointed by the lack of options wet currently have. There is like only 3 ICS Roms and 3 ICS kernels (1 only has OC ability) to choose from.

Love this phone though.

It would be a dream if Huexx had a Sony Xperia S to develop a great rom like Zeus ROM for Optimus Black (i have one, trying to sell it). An incredible and organized work, with a great presence in the comunity, organized changelogs and constant updates! He also developed a nice kernel for CM9 (that original kernel from Cyanogen guys is bugged and crappy) that turned CM9 almost a usable ROM (not for me, since i really like listening music and podcasts with my phone). He did a really incredible work with Zeus! Should we ask him if he have interest in a Xperia S and donate one to him? XD haha! But really guys! Give a look at his work! :D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] m1st3r1:
^ you can re-locked the bootloader. and here in Indonesia, they (Sony's Service) dont even bother checking the bootloader f it's hardware problems (yellow tints). so i guess it's not an issue, but different country, different policy.

and for development.. SXS has, modded stock roms (2), cm9 and cm10 in development (bug fixing, etc), and official miui. what's more do you want? i prefer this than many development which only modified stock roms, modified miui, modified cm. it's just me though..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _delice_doluca_:
actually i prefer one good custom (or stock) rom than lots of roms.. but for example sensation and one x has a camera mod which let them shoot videos with 20Mbps (or 40) and take photos with 0 compression.. and i can tell; lowering the compression value looks like a must for xperia S too.

or you can OC the GPU to get more performance on 3d apps or games.. these are more important than having lots of custom roms in my opinion.. because since ICS came out every custom rom is similar to each other.

what i want to do is generally about unleashing the potential of the hardware.. like in the camera mod example.. i mean, the camera lens is still there but the software uses it much better with a little touch of a good developer..

Hello

I'm a glad Sony Xperia P user, wich have looked forward to the ICS update in quater 2, but as we all know the update has not been released yet.

Every day I get more and more confused about this....

I've tried to ask on Sony Mobile's Facebook page, their forum (talk.sonymobile.com) and every time they either post a link to this post on their blog http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...ream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/ wich as you see is from may. And it says nothing about the rollout for Xperia P, or they tell you to go to their Product Blog (same blog as the link above) and what you find there? Nothing but marketing things..... If you go to the specification page http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-p/specifications/ they still haven't changed the text "Upgrade to Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich, planned in Quarter 2 2012" although that we are faaaaaaaaaaar away from quater 2.

Secondly i'm pissed of over that Sony not even post an update on the development on the ICS update.....

Do you follow me or not? :)

Great weekend to you

A confused Xperia P user
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
To be honest my friend, I wouldn't hold much hope of ics on the p until late august and even possibly September.

The ics update for the xperia s is an unfinished product that still needs quite a few fixes.

Their performance in 2012 as far as software goes has pretty much shown that they are just poor on software. I rather say that than to think they do this deliberately to limit the number of upgrades they provide.

Learn the lesson now... Never take their word for it as far as upgrades go. They deliberately mislead. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after the x10 debacle but they have shown they don't deserve it

Don't but Sony for software especially android software. You'll be very frustratingly disappointed if you do.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:

Which setting do you use?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Use GSM only when you don't need fast internet eg. Whatsapp, GTalk.

WCDMA only you need fast internet like when browsing/downloading.

The best way is to get used to switching quickly between the two as necessary to get the best battery life. You can do that through a toggle app like Notification Toggle. CyanogenMod and AOKP have built in toggles.

If you don't want to go through that i.e. constantly switching between them, then keep it on auto mode at the expense of battery life.

Its not called motoblur anymore.. that name is for the old style UI that motorola used to have which everyone hated.

Try this, It may not have the exact skin you are after BUT it has LOTS of other ones and surely one will take your fancy.
