[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dusanzk:
Hey,

I've been using my Xperia Acro S for about 10 days now, i've used the Galaxy S 3, S2, HTC One X and Defy before this.

The first thing i did when i got the Xperia Acro S was put it in a tub filled with about 50CM of water, left it there for about a minute, when i took it out everything worked fine, just be sure to close all the connection ports before you try this.

The phone's performance is pretty much on par with the Galaxy S 2, i haven't noticed any lag in using the device, sometimes it becomes laggy but that's because i have many apps open in the background so i assume that's normal.

I've played The Dark Knight Rises and it was completely lag free, the graphics were great.

I've also played Dead Trigger without any issues, great graphics as well.

When i compare it directly with the Motorola Defy it's quite a big step up,

The performance improvement is noticable.

Another useful feature is wet-finger tracking which allows you to use the screen with wet fingers, i remember this being a problem with my Defy.

The battery life for me is ok. I usually manage to get about 3 hours screen on time, this is with 5 active e-mails push syncing, using 3-4 apps like WhatsApp, Bluetooth on all day (connected for half the day). Wi-Fi on all the time, brightness set to max.

The camera is very satisfactory for me, it has nice features like panorama, smile detection etc and the quality is better than the 8MP camera's from the other high-end phones.

The only thing that slightly bothered me was that the phone's NFC doesn't seem to be on par with other higher end devices,

Basically i have to press the NFC card on the back of the phone and sometimes it doesn't even recognize it.

Whereas on the HTC One X and Galaxy S 3 it's sufficient to just put the NFC card a couple of CM's away from the phone and it recognizes always.

As i said, not a big problem, just saying.

All in all, i am very satisfied.

Hope this helped.

I had a Galaxy S3 GT I9300, but from a week back I'm currently having a Sony Xperia Ion. Tbh, I loved Sony's UI much better and some backup & restore unbuilt facilities better than of Samsung. So yeah, being the holder of S3. I will sitll recommend you Acro S.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] evolution1g:
Thank you both of you... Guess I've made my choice :D Just waiting for Sony to launch this baby in India! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zhuhang:
The back of the phone heats up very fast.

And battery not that satisfied, 1.5GHz is too much for the phone.

I underclocked to 1GHz and games still run lag-free, (riptide 3D,Cordy,Cordy sky)

And when your screen is awake, and u pour water on it, the phone interface will messed up. (Water somehow acts as fingers and some dragging and long press occurs)

And u can't really dip the phone into water with screen awake, like above the screen will go crazy and no response at all.

If u awake the phone in water, u can't touch anything, but if u can turn on the camera, u can use the shutter button to take pictures. (provided ur screen doesn't messed up)

So its water resistant doesnt mean u can use ur phone underwater :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
Comparing to the Defy, it's obviously a worthy upgrade. In term of battery life, it's okayish for a dual core phone. I have been playing 3D game like dead trigger with zero lag problem so I will vouch for that. Camera is superb if you know how to use it right. Sony camera is a bit different, the auto focus was kinda clumsy and you have to do it manually to get the best quality. Water proof is definely a plus. This phone can last for years before your next upgrade.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] micmaccc:
hi all,

need to ask if anyone knows how to use Wi-Fi direct?

asking on behalf of a friend using acro s

thx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
What do you mean by "use wifi direct"?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hei133:
I don't think wifi-direct is supported on acro s ics version yet, at least I cannot find the options as shown on the other xperias which do support it. DLNA support only so far...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
I guess there's no WiFi direct as snapdragon S3 doesn't support it..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] guide144:
I think it dose..

Check out here http://m.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_acro_s-4781.php
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hei133:
Yes, that specs on GsmArena brought my hopes up, but now I am more inclined to think specs listed it as an error. The specs listed inside the GsmArena review page1 do not say wifi-direct.

Xperia P has wifi-direct but is not snapdragon S3. I wonder if any S3 based phone currently has wifi-direct?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darth5zaft:
I guess we have to ask HTC folks for that.

But i had google it. And the page i landed too. Stated it would not.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Desperanto86:
My HTC Sensation has the same CPU as ACRO S and HTC support Wi-Fi Direct
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hei133:
Seems like wifi-direct support depends on the wireless communication chipset used, might have nothing to do with S3 or not. Could not find any high res photos or mention what chip is in 2012 xperias though...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zakoo2:
i too currently own a motorola defy as the op, and i plan to upgrade in 1-2 months, and my definite win was acro s - until now.

im not the type to stick to stock roms, im a dedicated cyanogenmod user, and i really want a phone which runs cm10 without problem, but now i read that until sony releases a jb upgrade for the acro s, cm10 wont have camera and the battery drains a lot. although from what i understand cm9 is running quite decently, so i think i can stick with that. but will this always be like this, that the acro s wont be upgradeable until sony released an official build?

and i have another question:

the xperia s and xperia acro s have almost identical hardware, except the battery and the microsd extension.

and the xperia s has aosp support, and sony already released its binaries. why cant we use its binaries to fix the camera and the battery drain? or am i seriously missing something here? what are the differences between the two devices software-wise?

and i also read that cm10 is not really ready for daily use yet. is that because the high battery consumption and lack of camera, or are there other bugs?

sorry for asking this many questions, but i couldnt find any answers to this anywhere, even though i did search them first.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
Quarx is missing ;)

I might consider Xperia V
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ro_explorer:
I can say that Acro S with the stock rom with all the bloatware removed is a decent device, very stable .

I personally have no issues with it. I tried all the other "stable" roms out there (MIUI and CM9.1) and I always came back to stock :).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFox2011:
Hello, a while back i had my phone on 2.3, but then i decided to flash one of the sense roms and the recovery patch, after this i cannot boot anything above 1.5, I've tried several different SPL's, with no luck, I'm thinking of going back to complete factory settings (default spl, default recovery, default partitions) is there anything other than that i can try?

Thanks :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
If you post your current configuration (spl, recovery, radio, ...) here, it would be easier to give you a hint. ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFox2011:
SPL:1.33.0013d

Radio:2.22.27.08

Recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0

ROM: Non-Sense (1.5)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
That's strange, because I would say with these specs a standard ROM should not boot and all newer ones supporting the 0013d/2708 combo should :confused:

I would do a

fastboot erase system -w

and then flash a ROM which supports the 0013d/2708 combo (e.g. FBL or ezGingerbread/ADS_Magpie/IcedADS_Magpie). Not sure, if you have cmtd installed. ezGingerbread has autoMTD included, so independently whether it's installed or not, it should boot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFox2011:
Quite annoyingly after posting those details I tried again and it booted 2.3 :( fml!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityo97:
yeah, kinda funny isn't it? sometimes My G1 does the same like you do :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LifeLessGT:
So I bought this battery for $47 from eBay today..

And I wanted to check out something regarding the back cover..

Will the regular 1650MaH Battery rattle with the cover?

Thank you.

Oh derp this should be at Accessories..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kuasar:
The OEM 2000 Mah extended battery includes an extra back cover...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] LifeLessGT:
Yes. But my question was if the 1650MaH original battery will rattle inside that new back cover..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] jantonio23:
Since you already bought one, I think it will be fairly easy for you to test it for yourself ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Stileth:
I think he was asking something else. If the original battery will not move below the extra cover otherwise he would need to carry also the original cover.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] LifeLessGT:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] republicano:
i use the 2000mah battery cover with the 1650mah battery, i cant disconnect the battery by thumping, it works fine but when it vibrates it sounds worse.

if you dont feel safe with it just put some cardboard between it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Coedy:
Was about to say the same as you. I use the 1650mah one with the larger back cover every now and then. I just put the top strip of the cardboard blister pack of the newer battery inside the rear case.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicholas1520:
It won't budge if you use the smaller battery with the other backing. Can't say anything about vibration though.

Whats the battery backup with 2000 mah battery now??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackmei2:
whenever I try and install the samsung usb drivers for my S3 the installer always fails with this message: "The MSS installation for SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones V1.4.6.0 has failed."

I had the universal naked drivers installed on this PC before for my tbolt and transformer prime, but it wasn't compatible with the S3 yet. There is an updated universal naked drivers that supports the S3, but when I try and back up my IMEI and put the phone into RMNET+DM+MODEM mode, the naked drivers don't recognize my device. in the regular MTP+ADB the drivers work fine.

so I imagine I need the samsung drivers to install for this to work. does anyone have any ideas how I could get the samsung usb drivers to install properly? I've also tried the V1.5.5.0 version as well and the installer fails as well. I've removed the universal naked drivers and tried to install without it and I still get the error. same thing in windows safemode. I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

has anyone else had trouble with this? and any idea how to get the installer to work? thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
Lots of people have been having this issue. I'm having it on XP at the moment... until now.

Per another thread I read here (for the Dell Streak, thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291293) you can force Windows to use the generic driver instead of the Samsung one.

Basically, I edited a copy of the INF to match my device info, then entered the info into the [Generic] area of the INF. I then told Windows to allow me to manually select the driver, and pointed it to this INF file. Voila... I now have generic driver support for MTP in XP SP3. I imagine the same thing might work with other versions of Windows, since I'm not really using any non-Windows drivers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Download and install PDAnet app to your computer, this app will install the driver for you. You have to select "Samsung" during the install. Once done you can uninstall the app but the driver stay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dawg5:
If PDA net doesn't work for you, go into device manager and select your phone, click on properties, advanced, and install the drivers manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
So, I came across another way to get the drivers to load without any INF file hacking. If you simply tell Windows (XP in my case) to update the driver, then tell it you will manually point to it, you can find a suitable one in the folder C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers\25_escape (after you install the MSS driver pack, of course).

Unfortunately, in my case, I use MediaMonkey to manage this, and it doesn't seem to notice the "difference" between my phone and my wife's (both SGS3s). That's their fault, though... they clearly have some bugs in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackmei2:
that's the problem... the MSS pack fails to install. I tried copying the samsung\USB Drivers folder from my desktop (which the driver install worked on) to my laptop and manually pointing to the folder, but it says it can't find a driver for it. kind of odd. I'll have to try the PDA net drivers to see if that will work. thanks for the help guys

Thanks this worked for me
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] BeerChameleon:
Will this work with N0813? :confused:

Also should i install it via goo?

Also THANKS!!! :D

Edit worked awesome!!!

Thanks again, no more buggy cwm!!!! :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] hkeyman:
Yes, Working on GT-N8013

Works and Yes install through GOO is fine. Only issue experienced from the install so far is when in recovery trying to type or select sometimes creates double entries or backs out of the function completely. But aside from that it is working as expected.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
so awesome to have this on the note.

just wondering, does installing this through goo fix the problem we had with CWM root method where if you boot into recovery it would auto write a script to reinstall the standard recovery? right now i am rooted but because of this bug with the new firmware my CWM is gone and i haven't used the adb instructions to fix it.

once you use TWRP you'll never go back to CWM imo
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] BeerChameleon:
Not sure, but i got out of that issue with the original clockwork.

Pretty sure it will though :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] hkeyman:
Still rooted...

After installing TWRP and using recovery a few times and then rebooting back into system I am not seeing any root/unroot issues. All is working normally here. Which version of the Tablet are you running? I am on the GT-N8013.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] BeerChameleon:
I am not having issues at all :rolleyes:

Ask the other guy :p

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
What I am referring to is with the latest rooting method 2 and if you are on the latest firmware when you reboot the firmware automatically rewrites the cwm image. The only way to stop this is via adb check the instructions below that are to be used in the current method

0) Copy the SU/superSU zip file to your tablet.1) Boot into ODIN mode by holding volume down and power. Volume down is the one closest to power.2) Open ODIN on your computer, select the CWM tar.md5 file in the PDA slot, uncheck auto reboot.3) Hit start. It should flash recovery successfully4) Now you want to boot directly into CWM, or you'll lose it. So while holding down volume UP (the one farther from power), hold down the power button. When you see the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo, let go of power, or else you'll keep rebooting, but keep holding volume UP. Or at least that's what I had to do, which was kind of surprising coming from other Samsung devices.5) Once in CWM, flash the superSU zip file. Congratulations, you have root, but if you reboot now the firmware will nuke CWM. We don't want to have to flash it again, so let's remove the shell script that nukes CWM.6) Under mounts and storage in CWM, mount system.7) Back on your computer, run adb shell. If you forget to mount system it'll complain because it can't find sh, silly adb. For a second I thought Samsung didn't include sh out of the box and then I realized that makes no sense.8) Type su to become root9) rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

So anyways I personally don't know jack squat about adb so I am rooted but don't have cwm installed because it overwrite.

Flashing twrp with goo it flashes for me successfully it claims but when I reboot to recovery I still have stock recovery. I suspect because I didn't do the adb.instructions above that this is the problem

I was hoping flashing this would automatically remove that script you need to remove in adb
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] iofthestorm:
Actually, you don't need to use ADB, but that was just the fastest way to do it for me. The script doesn't remove root so you can let it boot up and delete the sript using a root file explorer (these days I'm partial to Solid Explorer Beta). But you'll just have to flash CWM a second time if you let it boot up once.

No recovery found using GooManager

I tried installing TWRP through GooManager, but after several minutes of 'Looking for recoveries...' I guess it gave up :confused:

Device: GT-N8000 (EU WiFi+3G).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
Thanks.

Seems like goo is down again so as soon as its up we will see if this works
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] BeerChameleon:
Did u go into goos menu and select install open recovery? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] LayZeeDK:
Of course. I pressed 'Install OpenRecoveryScript', pressed 'Yes', and a dialog box said 'Looking for recoveries...' for several minutes after which it disappeared. But knives of ice says that something is wrong with GooManager.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
Yeah the goo servers seem to be down has happened many times in the past. I can't even login to my goo supporter account
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] Dees_Troy:
There are download links for a mirror and instructions for a manual install on our website.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
Awesome I got it working now you definitely must delete the file referenced above if you have recently rooted on the latest firmware.

You can also manually flash with mobile Odin if you don't want to use adb like myself while goo is down. Just rename the file to recovery.img
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] -viperboy-:
Wanted to say thanks, Dees_Troy! Just picked up a WiFi GT-8013 and this is the first thing I put on it. If you need any help testing or whatnot, feel free to give me a shout and I will test you stuff :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] knives of ice:
Finally got something to flash on this. Anyways it seems like something is messed up with the touchscreen in twrp recovery. Its either much too sensetive or won't scroll at all. Its near impossible to pick a file to flash right now for me anyways if its in a specific folder like downloads

Anyone else?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] CitizenX:
Yes, i´ve got the same problem, needed 10 minutes yesterday to pick up all the files for cm10 flash...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] iofthestorm:
Same thing here, although I eventually got it to flash. CitizenX, if you flashed CM10, could you report whether your S Pen still works in the CM10 discussion thread? Mine just stopped working with the same errors I was getting last time the S Pen stopped working for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] GeneralSmart:
thank you sooo much, this goo app drives me crazy....i'll check if it works:)

so i touch the wipe menu and it locks my screen.. I touch the the backup button menu and it locks my screen.. then i touch ANY menu and it locks my screen..

so i swipe the blue button across the bubble to unlock my screen and guess what!?

..it locks my screen..

i gotta admit this has to be the worst port of twrp i have ever used on a device and i had the a500..

I will stand by my recovery though and anything i can do to help out lemme know..

I was using versions earlier than 2.4 and still had the same problems. I was on the 2.3 version before I upgraded to the 2.5 and I see no difference. I would tap the screen and it would lock or go back to the home screen.

First of all thanks for great work!

I'd like to switch from CWM 6.0.2.7 to TWRP 2.5.0.0 as I find TWRP much better.

Is it possible to do it from within CWM using a zip file for my Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000?

Or if I have CWM I should flash it through Goo manager?

Thanks in advance.

Today I tried to flash TWRP over CWM through Goomanager but without any result.

Firstly it said that there is no OpenRecovery Script for my device?!!

Then I chose Flash ROM and select N8000-TWRP-2.5.0.0.zip but at the flashig step

my device was just rebooted into CWM menu.

I'm still not sure that it is safe to flash from CWM. Or is it possible?

Or the only solution in my case is to flash TWRP through Odine?

Any solutions?

sucks, i went back to cw non-touch just for this issue. i allmost broke my screen from my nerves with this sh!t. why touch? why? just tell me ONE reason to have touch recovery,its not a #@$# OS its a RECOVERY. jesus, all these functions go to waste when u cant just select what u want, a file explorer r u kidding me? it will take less time to flash a new rom,boot,open wifi,dld es explorer,than just navigate with touch in this recovery.some times its the best to go "traditional" a.k.a in this case: NO TOUCH! twrp has lots of potential but with touch its bottleneckd. i apreciate your work ofc no question aboout and ofc i can just dont use it if i dont like, (which i dont) but if noone says "hard" words then noone changes. peace.
