[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
I bought one of these for myself and my girlfriend:

http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Discovery-925-Bluetooth-Earpiece/dp/B001630QZE

the plantronics 925. I have big ears and she has small ears and we both love it. it doesn't fall out, and it's so light that I forget it's there. It has great sound quality and an awesome noise cancellation. I could ear people clearly with my top down on my BMW and people would only complain a little about the wind rushing by until I rolled up my window.

I'm not saying its perfect, it's battery life isn't as long as it's competitors, but the nifty little carry case charges it up when you aren't using it, it doesn't have an earloop, but I know that they sell them for a couple extra bucks if you really need them, but like I said, I drove with my windows and top down with this in my ear and it never fell out.

+1 For Jawbone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rvnteck:
Jabra Wave does the job very well for me.

It is loud, really low profile design, snug & secure fit, receiver of the call is clear and battery life is good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wase4711:
if you can afford it, the bose series 2 is the best headset out there, and I have had at least 20 different ones over the years..guaranteed to fit perfectly in your ear, with no pain and fantastic sound on calls and music..blows away any of the Jawbone stuff

problem with Avery custom ear pieces is that it only works for the one headset you order it for; it will NOT work on anything else you might buy in the future, so think about it long and hard before you spend 80 dollars for a custom ear piece..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbman213:
Received my Galaxy Nexus (GSM from Play Store) and I am using it on Straight Talk (AT&T SIM). First, my house already has poor signal strength. Anyways, when I'm not touching the device it will range between -95 and -98 dbm. As soon as I pick it up with my left hand covering the bottom left corner the dbm drops to about -108 to -111 dbm. Is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Yes it is normal, anything that covers the antenna will have an effect on the signal strength. But does it matter to the majority of people? Not really

[Nexus 7 Accessories] GatorsUF:
I really want to get a case similar to one of these but not sure which one to get...

DoDo - I like the style of this one, seems very slim. Not sure about the "adhesive" tape to hold my tablet in though. Seems a bit cheap for such an expensive case.

Portenzo - I would buy this right now except the size of the case when it is folder over. I love that it has the "intellistand" feature, but the cover doesn't fold over backwards very well.

Treegloo - Haven't heard great things about the Nexus 7 version of this one...

are there other options that are similar? Not interested in a black leather case, style is important. Tuff-luv cases look like universal for any 7" tablet.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] redmonke255:
I'm in the same boat and i'm going with dodo. Treegloo looks way back ordered and is super expensive, portenzo is having mixed reviews and support sucks, dodo uses adhesive and keeps the tablet thin and light. Apparently the adhesive is really strong and doesn't leave residue so that's what I'm getting.

Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Hexdecimal:
I wasn't sure about the Dodo because of the adhesive - don't really want that on the back of the Nexus, just in case.

I've had a Treegloo iPad case before and got one for the Nexus 7. There are other reviews about it on here if you check them out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30374875 I can't really add much to what the others have already said. It's a really nice case, but it may take a while to come in because of demand.

My brother ordered a Portenzo and that just came in. It's nice as well, but the button access is really hard to get to. I can't even get to them easily and I have tiny hands (have to use my nails to press anything). The cover material has wear on the spine after a few days, but it maybe it's supposed to do that?

I think they're all good, but I'd rather have a frame for the extra protection. Seems too high of a price for the Dodo not to have anything except adhesive.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jermx:
I'm using a dodo case and I can honestly say its fantastic! Adhesive is super super strong! Build quality is excellent as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] redmonke255:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dm_alka:
Hi everyone! I will be buying a new phone in a couple of days and was considering the Xperia S as an option. I've been reading this forum as well as some reviews and comments in other forums and blogs, and I've come across very conflicting opinions, so I would like to know if you, as owners, would recommend it.

Before you ask, this is the only Xperia phone available in my country right now, and the other two options I'm considering are the Galaxy Nexus and the S2. As you can see, I'm not looking for the latest most powerfull smartphone but rather a reliable device with a healthy development community (also, there aren't many other powerful smartphones available here but that's a whole different issue).

I currently own a Motorola Defy, which is a very reliable phone, and has a great development community (everything working in CM10!). This has been particularly important for me as the people that own the Defy are very enthusiastic about it, and there's a still a lot going on even almost two years after it's release. I think the Xperia S might be a great choice because of the decent hardware hardware, form and size (galaxy S3 feels too big in my hand), but specially because of its unlockable bootloader and the possibilities that it represents (I'm not really expecting to keep the stock firmware for long).

So, do you think the Xperia S might be a good choice, or would you say I should look into my other options?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mehdi110z:
Simple lags, not

very

smooth ui is only problem. Also google is now testing aosp support for xperia s so it could have a very good future. If VERY good hardware is not your choice, then you won't regret buying xps. Although it does simple daily usage very good and you may not notice lags until you are expecting a perfect mobile.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LokiDemi:
Yes I recommend it! I have an Xperia S and a Galaxy S3 but Xperia S is better.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -Harsh-:
Simple, if you don't care about internal memory and want the latest android OS faster and can't wait for it, go for nexus series.

If you want a whooping display and a good camera with good looks, go for XPS.. XPS is relatively new so not a very broad support but its more than enough has a good android future. You won't regret buying any of these..:good:

As far as the lag is concerned, its not there in my device, few users complain about it but i never experienced it, except for the stock contact app, which i don't use :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
if u considering between nexus and s2, just pick xperia S. nth will go wrong, except for yellow tinted screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LokiDemi:
No yellow tint issue on new batch :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
Toss a coin , and leave s2 out of it , xperia S has 720p res on its 4.3 , s2 has 800x460 , the xperia S's screen is way way more detailed , and 720p displays are whats new these days :good:

I have an xperia S and it hasnt disapointed me yet
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] RAFAMP:
My brothers have the Samsung S2, and I can tell you that the Xperia S is MUCH better!

The Xperia S is an EXCELLENT phone, the only con is that I'm just disappointed with it's camera. I came from a Galaxy Note.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidereusOne:
Question please.

I am looking to root and flash my tf101. I have been doing a lot of reading /searching but I am still curious.

Are you not simply able to nvflash cwm then use cwn to install su.zip as well as whatever rom you like?

My preference is to avoid any toolkit as much as possible [personal preference].

If i missed something please let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
You need to download easy flash software and universal naked driver to use nvflash... once you have them rooting and installing CWM is just few mouse clicks away.... once you have cwm you can install any tf101 ROM you want... just remember do not install cwm 5.x.x.x as it reads only internal memory n not external MMC.. also please back up your existing OS with "back and recovery" option which is available in CWM... good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidereusOne:
I did as you instructed above, it seemed to work fine.

Loaded the naked drivers [0.7] and ran easy flash from a windowx xp machine. tried to load TWRP 2.2.1. Easyflasher says it flashed, the screen says the update was successful, but it basically just seems to have corrupted the recovery [android with red exclamation mark above].

I have a B60 TF101, running 9.2.1.27, unrooted ATM.

Am I missing something as to why this did not work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Android with red ! is your stock recovery. Try flashing TWRP via Goo Manager.

Get it from Play Store, open Goo manager, Menu (3 dots) and chose Install "OpenRecoveryScript"

SOLVED.

Problem was the PC I was trying to flash with.

Went to a newer Windows 7 based machine, worked perfectly. Great tool. Thanks for the heads up.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousefgms:
Hello..

I have SE Xperia Arc with ICS 4.0.4 \ Build.No : 4.1.B.0.431 -- [by official PC Companion updating program] , original ROM , and with LOCKED BL.

Firstly, I would like to know if there is anyway to keep/restore my programs AFTER unlocking my BL ? Please explain (as I don't even know how to flash using fastboot xD) .

And, does using custom roms need "rooting"? If not,does it erase any data?

Finally, what in the world is a "kernel"!? And,why do we need it !?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrModMan:
First of all you could of searched all this on XDA just takes a bit of initiative...

programs as in apps well if you have an root you can backup your apps with Titanium Backup

All custom roms require rooting and most of them require an unlocked bootloader (its just better to have an unlocked bootloader doesnt really matter)

Kernels can be used for overclocking, and kernels are sometimes needed for specific roms to make them work. The kernel is basically the communications bridge in your arc
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousefgms:
Thank you very much sir. That was really helpful :good:

Cheers!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidermoon:
If you are satisfied with the official rom, don't change anything.

I try two rom, JJhybrid, and Pureness. All of them can be installed on locked bootloader and of course root. The main advantage is that they offer a little more ram and less home redraw, Arc S have only 384 ram usable (specs say 512, but at least on my phone, a meminfo say 384Mo :( and with stock ICS this let you with 20MB free or even less in services panel info wich leads to lags, home redraw and make you swear you never buy a Sony phone again.

I don't want to unlock bootloader, this void warranty and drm gones (so you can't use track id and download music info from some rom walkman app)

Install a new rom is not too difficult :

- First : root your phone, there is good guides on XDA

- Second : buy Titanium Backup and backup everything. Backup also callogs, sms/msm, wifi access point and favorite with the menu in xml format.

- Third : install xpart and do a nandroid backup (yeah, i'm a bit paranoïd)

- Fourth : install flashtool and download a ftf rom file in case of rom install goes bad. Install the drivers in the driver folder of flashtool.

- Fith : choose you rom, and follow instruction. It's always something like download a zip, put it on sd card, goto recovery, wipe everything and install zip from the card.

After reboot, restore eveything with Titanium Backup, but skip restore contacts, use google sync instead. Go to contact, and input your name and phone in the "me" contact. Sometime, Titanium locks when restoring multimedia data (it's your playlist and i guess different music app use different playlist format), so skip it.

I case you can't boot, use flashtool to revive your phone. It's happens if you don't wipe, use kernel or baseband incompatible with the rom.

I'm currently on pureness build 10, stock 4.04 kernel with root and 72 baseband. There is no timescape and no FBI stuff (FaceBook Integration ;) but you gain the nice walkman app, and if you install drm missing stuff (like creditential manager) you can use trackid and download music info so you can use sense. Pureness is a pre v6 supercharged with services.jar patched.

JJ hybrid is close to stock ICS, included lacks of memory :( but with nice contact and phone apps.

Despite what rom builder says, neither on this rom you can play games like asphalt 6 (maybe because i'm on a stock kernel ? )
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousefgms:
Ohh.. Thanks alot bro for these valuable info. I really appreciate it.

So.. after long thinking, I decided to root my device with my bootloader closed,then I'll back my apps/games up, and later I'll consider thinking of un-locking my bootloader.

So what's the easiest way to root my ICS ARC [firmware 4.1.B.0.431] ?? [I ask this because I've found lots of topics/ways about/of rooting,but many are complicated and others need un-locked BL] ?!

As I mentioned in the 1st comment, I officially updated my phone to ICS via PC companion, and my ROM is still the original.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidermoon:
For rooting, i follow this tuto: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683957 it's well made and easy to follow.

Since i am on 4.0.4 when i rooting, i just flash the 4.0.3 kernel, root it and flash the 4.0.4.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
No if you will unlock bootloader.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousefgms:
Thanks for the info. But I'm currently not thinking of unlocking the bootloader ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yousefgms:
Aah.. I saw that tuto before but,since I'm NEW to this world, I couldn't figure out how to flash the kernels :( ? And whats the consequences of doing that?

Many thanks for your replies sir.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spidermoon:
To flash, all you need is flashtool : http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

- install it

- Install the driver located in the drivers directory of flashtool (Flashtool-drivers.exe)

- put the '.ftf' in the firmwares directory of flashtool

- put the phone in msc mode

- click the flash button, use the flashmode method, choose the file, take a look at the options box on the right, sometime you only need to flash kernel, not the full firmware.

- click go. Follow the on-screen instruction.

There's always a risk, in case of bad download, incorrect kernel, it's like flashing a bios for a PC.

flashtool revive my phone when i screw up while installting pureness without wiping /system and/or using the 72 baseband. Phone was stuck at android logo. So i flash the 4.0.4 pre-rooted, root the phone, and flash only the kernel part of a full 4.0.4 firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tsukidi:
Hello guys,

I'm looking for this Weather Widget, an online friend of mine has a LG Maximo 2x with this widget (see attachment, since I can't publish outside link because I'm a recent user)

This is the animation that opens when she tap the widget on me phone desktop.

She told me this is Accuweather version, but I can't find it :(. (maybe it isn't accuweather, I only know what she told me).

This app also allows sharing with social networks.

I would really like to find it. Please help me.

:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
It is accuweather, since it displays RealFeel temperature, which is a trademark of accuweather. However, it is different than the accuweather widget we have for touchwiz. It is probably specific to whatever framework the LG phones use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Nifty little widget there. Me likie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jstorm9000:
This is the Accuweather widget, as stated above, but there is a difference between this widget and the widget that comes pre-installed on your S2. The pre-installed widget takes up half the screen and does virtually nothing if you press it. The widget in your picture is available after you download the "Accuweather for Android" app from Google Play.

After you have installed that app, add the plain Accuweather widget to whatever screen you want (!!!not the Accuweather.COM widget!!!) and you should have a very similar, if not identical, widget to what your friend has.

Keep in mind, though, that the picture you posted will only show up after you press the widget for more details. The actual widget is very small and has no animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
I have AccuWeather for Android installed and that is definitely NOT the widget from it.

It has two, and neither one is the one in that screenshot. Its got the original dark grey 4x1 widget and a new, rather ugly and seriously battery killing, 4x2 with the weather and a clock.

As said, its probably a custom version done for LG just like Samsung has their own.

Not sure what you expect the stock TW AccuWeather widget to do when you touch it. It opens up the Samsung AccuWeather app just fine for me, just like the one from the Play Store opens its respective app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tsukidi:
The only one Accuweather for Android that appears on the GooglePlay is that Accuweather.com (wich is ugly, its the black one with no animation at all).

I really can't find that Accueweather for Android.

The imagem attached is the Accuweather for Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stanleyacosta:
Hmm

Well I have the GoWeather Ex widget that is pretty similar to that one, maybe you should try that one out buddy.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
So, sorry to ask another one of these questions, but I don't wanna mess up my phone. So, my understanding is that if you flash ANYTHING, CM10, CM9, or a TW ROM, you have a chance of losing your IMEI? Because as of right now I have rooted my phone and unlocked my bootloader but I don't wanna go any farther if there's a chance I can mess up, because with my luck, I will...

Oh, and is there a chance I can get messed up just being rooted and unlocked if Verizon decides to push an OTA or anything really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] knifedroid:
Yes, there is a chance to lose your imei anytime you flash. However, if you search, there is a way to back it up and restore it 100%. Use search.

Since you have already unlocked your bootloader, never accept an OTA. There is a possibility it could brick your phone.

Sent from an overpriced Verizon tower.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] weblexa:
My understanding is that there is a small chance you can lose your IMEI no matter what ROM you're flashing. I personally flash 2-3 ROMs almost everyday and haven't had any issues though. You can also restore your IMEI using QPST. There's a thread that shows how.

If you're running stock rooted with the insecure aboot, I strongly suggest disabling the OTA update app so verizon can't sneak an update to your phone. I think its FWUpgrade.apk. Accepting an OTA could brick your phone if its unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xlxfoxxlx:
yep ive had it happen flashing AOKP on one phone and then flashing synergy on another...

didnt back up the first, but did botth ways of backing up on second and still both ways fail to work... had to inject both of em.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xCHPx:
Okay, thanks guys. Another concern is that the only computers in my house are macs (Not my decision) and I'm not sure if I can do all of the IMEI restore stuff without having to shell out for a VM program...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] knifedroid:
What do you mean by inject?

I haven't had an issue yet (knock on wood), so I haven't had to go through it yet. I've also decided to take a break from flashing until someone gets a better handle on the problem, but I have read of at least one occurrence of the imei disappearing while receiving a text well after flashing a ROM.
