[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NZLion:
1) What differences are there in the hardware between the Xperia S (LT26i) and Xperia SL (LT26ii) other than CPU speed? (1.5 vs 1.7GHz)

In comparing the specs on GSMArena, that seems to be the only known hardware difference.

2) If the only difference is CPU speed, is it likely that it would be as simple as altering a device ID string somewhere for one model to be recognised as the other by (eg: ) PC Companion?

3) If this sort of minor differentiation has ever been done by any manufacturer... presumably that would be a good basis for extrapolation...

Did they from that point release one update that covered both models, or are separate updates more likely?

As far as I know, the LT26ii isn't in stores yet and I haven't seen any teardowns. I'm expecting to have to wait a while for some of these answers :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
1) Likely minor changes, same board

2) Crossflashing with flashtool should be possible, not sure about PCC

3) Just a spec bump for the people who want a new device. Think version 1.01 not 2. All fujis will get updates with an interval of about a week, just like all montblancs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkevbo:
Hi,

Just flashed a Jelly Bean ROM to my wife's I9000 and it seems that there is now a very annoying feature. The 'Complete Action Using' popup menu now requires an extra click to load the app you want.

Previously you had the option to select an app to perform a certain function, for example to make a call you could choose Phone, Skype or Viber etc., you also had the option to set this choice as the default so you would not get asked the question again. In this instance, my wife (and me as well) would not want to select a default action as to which app you would use to make a call as this would depend on who you were calling, network connection etc.

Now, on Jelly Bean, if you don't set a default action, you are forced to press 'Just Once' every time you want to start an app from this menu, doubling the amount of clicks than before.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuSSiELaMbChOpS:
You can double tap the desired program and it will launch that as the once only selection. Or you can try a Rom that has restored the single tap behavior PAC has this so you only need to tap once to select the once only option.

I had that problem! I just flashed a telstra rom then the firmwate againd it was all good :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
So I found a tool on XDA that allows me to put the ROM of choice to be ported and the base ROM. I'm trying to port Paranoid Android 2.00 since we don't have it, and now that we have somewhat steady CM10 nightlies I *should* be able to use it as a base. (The tool is called RomPorter)

So I went ahead and compiled a ROM, but I'm not sure if I should flash. I mean if it was this easy to port ROM's wouldn't we have ROM's just popping up everywhere? I used the HTC One X International version's PA 2.00 as the input ROM btw. I have some coding experience in Java but if it's this easy to port without any coding required why hasn't it been done yet? Just curious. I looked at the CM9 guide to porting PA and I have to make a linux portal and all those things. Basically my main question is, will this work? I don't want to flash and end up hard bricking my phone. I went and checked the build.prop, and framework and it all seemed like a hybrid of CM10 nightly and Paranoid Android 2.00 but is there something I'm missing?

Thanks a lot guys! ;) I'm tired of just being somebody who stands on the side and waits for things to get ported or created. I'm taking a heavy load in college but I want to try and port something at least to contribute.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Using the international base could cause a brick unless you ported an evita kernel too. The international one x has a different partition layout as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Read read read, check, double check and triple check. When your confident its possibly bootable, sure that it is not harmful THEN flash it to your device first. Ports are always going to start with bugs. Don't expect perfection, expect a WIP. Importantly, have fun learning. Most importantly , FIRST FLASH IS ALWAYS YOURS :beer::D:beer:

Added People port roms all the time for themselves. Now posting one on xda and maintaining a thread with dozens-hundreds of followers is a WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY:eek:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I just want to try it but I'm afraid it'll brick. I mean what's the worst case scenario? Boot loop then restore to my nandroid? Or being stuck with a brick forever? I don't have a backup phone at the moment lol. Maybe I should invest in one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
If you flash something that overwrites hboot you're hard bricked. That's what I meant by different partition layout.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Here's a easier start for jb paranoid Android port.....dload the HTC evo 4g lte jb paranoid port rom, unzip it, delete the included boot.img, use a hox boot.img from a hox jb rom to replace it with. Zip it and flash it.(use the one XL cm10 boot.img) It will give u a bootable port of jb paranoid Android. Then like most ports, you will start fixing bugs. Camera and wifi won't work, you will need to fix those for sure. But a lot will work so start with priority bug fix#1 and keep on goin:)

Added: paranoid android rom I would consider the land of the brave for first time porting. U may encounter fixes to be harder than some less modified roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I understand now what the scare was. But when taking the Evo LTE ROM and pushing our own boot.img it'll allow me to at least get it started to see what I need to get going and fix! That's a fantastic idea. I'm going to head over there now and see what ROM's they have. I mean technically we share very similar devices internally right? I haven't looked into the Evo specs much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
make sure you pull out any radio images you find in the roms you look at.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Could I push the ones from a cm10 nightly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
No idea. Probably. Or just don't include one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
getting in contact with the developer for the Evo PA ROM. Hopefully this goes somewhere. :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Don't we already have a pa rom? You've inspired me though. I'm going to look at porting roms too.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
The PA ROM is still ICS, and the biggest killer is that the multi-touch fix is not incorporated because the ROM was cooked pre kernel release unfortunately. The latest update the dev was supposed to release didn't boot and I don't know what happened after that.

And do it! The more devs the better. I want some variety in this little community.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mlaws90:
By the way, PARANOIDANDROID 2.00 is not out yet. The last OFFICIAL release is 1.992: Changelog. As for the port, I would love to port roms to our device, since it is my primary device.

I already port ROMs from the i9100 to i777(SGSII Internation to AT&T US Version), but this is a VERY simple operation. And you can use a pre-made program to port by ktoonsez called Flashaholics, but it is only for porting to the i777. I hope we eventually get that far but these 2 devices are far more similar that the One X/OneXL or Evo LTE/One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Just use the latest paranoid rom with the latest cm10 boot.img. I did it a few times when I had my hox. And gunny is right. Either pull the radio or flash a hox radio after u flash ur port and u will get signal with working talk, text. 3g should work too, mms won't, streaming video will be iffy. Just run thru the major stuff, write down what's broken, prioritize it, then always make a nandroid of your previous build so u can revert back if fixes make things worse

He's gonna work off a unofficial paranoidandroid jb 4.1 from the evo lte. It'll boot but there will be plenty of fixing to do. I think its for his use/learning, not sure if he plans on putting it up on forums
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I don't plan on uploading it to the forums unless I get the features working. I'm off all day tomorrow so I'll probably give it a shot to see what I can do.

I also realized PA is not 2.00 after I posted that, buts its still a JB Paranoid ROM so it'll do for now while I learn.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
It's really good seeing someone (who isn't a regular dev that I know of?) taking such initiative and asking the right questions and such in order to get some dev'ing underway.

Great job! :good:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Thanks! I appreciate it :) So I got a little ahead of myself and tried it tonight, I'm slowly following a guide and I THOUGHT I was doing everything correctly but it won't flash after "Verifying system partition size" and I got an error. This seems to be a common problem that leads to the updater script, so I'm going to take a look at it when I get up. Could just be a syntax error, or maybe I'm just building it wrong I'm kinda tired :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
U can always nab the updater script from cm10 hox also. Its been a while and I forgot to mention that. I had the same issue with the evo rooms and that did the trick:beer:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I tried: using the ports updater, the base, and a collaboration of the two and it still didn't go through. Maybe its something else ? I'll try it again to double check.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madshark2009:
hey guys there is a rumor about windows 8 coming out for tablets and im so excited for that .. yet my question is will this windows 8 for tablet be able to run windows games like a PC ? lets say i want to install some game like Need for speed or call of duty will it be able to run it as a PC windows ?

Thanks

With all respect :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] funfair:
Tablet based on Tegra or Snapdragon gets Windows RT. This is Windows for ARM and will not run normal PC games.

Tabled based on X86 (for example Intel) gets Windows 8. This is windows for PC and will be able to run normal PC games (and windows applications). (if the GPU has enough power ofcourse)

Though I expect the ARM version will have much better battery life and is more suitable for a tablet.

And keep in mind that game developers are already making game engines for Windows RT. For example, there is already a demo for the Unreal3 Engine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
i believe you're expecting to intall windows on Prime. Sorry to dissapoint you, but this will not be possible.. Windows 8 for tablet will only be available for OEM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madshark2009:
ooh thanks guys ! :D and what do you mean only available on oem ? ive seen videos on youtube about this asus having windows 8 on it ? well ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
Only available to manufacturers. Is not like normal windows where you buy a license on a store and install on any x86 computer. Is more like Windows Phones where the OS is attached with the phone..

And since is a closed source OS, i doubt the community can install it on other devices (maybe on tablets where exists models for both versions with the same hardware this can be done, i don't know)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterk-1:
If you search wikipedia for Windows 8 RT you will see the hardware requirements and then see why you should not expect to see W8 on the TFP:

Hardware buttons: Must have five hardware buttons - 'Power', 'Rotation lock', 'Windows Key', 'Volume-up', 'Volume-down'. The Windows Key to be at least 10.5 mm in diameter.

Five-point digitizers: Microsoft requires that Windows 8 touch PCs use digitizers supporting a minimum of five touch points.

Mobile Broadband: If a mobile broadband device is integrated into a tablet or convertible system, then an assisted GPS radio is required

Display: Minimum native resolution/color depth is 1366x768 at a depth of 32-bits. The physical dimensions of the display panel must match the aspect ratio of the native resolution. The native resolution of the panel can be greater than 1366 (horizontally) and 768 (vertically).

Near field communication: Devices supporting NFC need to have visual marks to help users locate and use the proximity technology.

New button combination for Control-Alt-Delete: The new option is to press Windows Key + Power.

Storage: At least 10 GB free space, after the out-of-box experience completes.

Graphics: Direct3D 10 device with WDDM 1.2 driver

Camera: Minimum resolution 1280 x 720[5]

Ambient light sensor: 1-30k lux capable with dynamic range of 5-60K.

Accelerometer: three axes with data rates at or above 50 Hz

Magnetometer and gyroscope

USB 2.0: At least one controller and exposed port.

Networking: WLAN and Bluetooth 4.0 + LE (low energy)

System firmware: UEFI

Built-in speaker and microphone[6]

If anyone can resolve the hardware issues they then have to persuade MS to supply them with W8 Licences (projected to be 85$). There is no indication that W8RT will be sold as a retail product and it will be sold to tablet manufacturers - OEM's -original equipment manufacturer / manufacturing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Magislayer:
If I remember correctly, there was an app you could download from Google Play Store which would allow you to run a version of Windows 8 on your Transformer tablets. It required that you have W8 installed on a desktop and connected your tablet to it. If the system can run the OS if you paid for the app, it should be able to run it standalone as well. Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
Long story short, possible but unlikely.

You're looking for Windows RT, the ARM version of Windows 8 (vs the Intel version that will run all the old apps we known and love and run on our intel computers). It is certainly possible (hell, probably extremely easy) to install Windows RT on our Transformer Primes. In fact I'd venture a guess to say most of Asus' Windows RT tablets are nothing but transformers, an extra button, and a few extra hardware features Windows mandates it have (ie the "Windows" button). That being said, in a TECHNICAL sense, it should be uber easy to install Windows RT.

The issue comes with licensing, legalese, and most of the crap most of us here hate because all it does is make our lives more difficult and expensive when we know damn well the hardware is capable. Microsoft has already said a few things that don't sit right with me. A few below:

1. All Windows RT devices must have locked UEFI bootloaders (ie, NO installing Android or Ubuntu, when all 3 COULD be installed in dual-triple boot configurations)

2. Windows RT will only be available to OEMs to be installed from the factory (no installing to Android devices, despite the hardware being capable.)

3. All Windows RT devices must only be able to install software from the market (with MS's 30% cut like Apple) and ONLY be for the metro environment, not the legacy desktop.

This all being said, I'm the proud owner of the HTC HD2 and if you look at that thing, which Microsoft said would never get Windows Phone despite satisfying 98% of their hardware specs, it's currently running the latest versions of Windows Phone AND Android (JB). This is all from a device that shipped with Windows MOBILE 6.5 in October of 2010. Performance is on par with single-core windows phones and single-core snapdragon chips (similar to what's in the original EVO).

It's possible, the question is, who's willing to cross Microsoft, and what kind of encryption needs to be broken first. It WILL happen, the question is a) how long and b) which devices are popular/worth it enough to MAKE it happen.

Until Microsoft fixes their current trajectory to their own 'clo$ed eco$y$tem' like Apple, I'll wait...

Yeah it must be defective,because in normal and good light the camera darn good for phone especially with the right settings,in low light it's a bit crappy to very crappy..

Try opening gallery app directly,take a short video recording and reboot a couple of times and dl. a camera app from market and check out the picture quality on that camera to,if the phone is brand new,maybe some of the software hasn't settled properly yet and these things might do the trick,because your pic's are really ****ty..

If that doesn't help,then go to the store an get it changed to a new gs3,because it's an awesome phone.

Good luck
[HTC Sensation] Scoop940:
Like many I was impatiently waiting the ICS update to my normal Sensation on T-Mobile but really wish I hadn't, it worked faultlessly before. It's had quite a few niggles, lock ups, reboots etc since. Gave up on Sense due to the constant restarts. Most annoying is the loss of text messages, if I force a re-register on the network to Orange and back then the texts are received again but any sent in the mean time are lost. Wondered if anyone else has seen such a problem?
