[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRDennyCrane:
So many deluded fanbois here... from every camp, Windows, Android, AND Apple... I'll just respond to one. And it will apply to all.

You're confusing your own little opinion with fact. Define "best OS ever". NO single OS is best at everything. Android, Windows, Apple... they all have their own strong (and weak) points. Which smart phones will get Win8? (not WP8, that doesn't exist) How about a Samsung that is almost identical to the Galaxy S III? Visually and mechanically almost identical.

It's OK that other people might like other companies. I assure you, it won't take away from your enjoyment of your preferred platform.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OXINARF:
You were going OK, until that bold statement. So, Windows Phone 8 doesn't exist? And I can answer your question, none smartphone will get Windows 8.

i was a huge windows mobile fan back in the Pre ppc 6700 days.. but you know what, MS is a bit late to the game. why did they wait so long to finally make some major changes and improvements? when they realized they finally lost the monopoly with WM and people were flocking to other mobile platforms, that's when they got serious. WM was practically abandoned for a long time and updates were slow to come. so for me they blew it., it's a bit too late, so i don't have any plans to transition back to windows platform.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRDennyCrane:
The naming went like this... Windows Mobile (6.1, 6.5), Windows Phone (7, 7.5), and now Windows 8. Microsoft wants a direct connection between PC, tablet and phone OS. They will be referred to as phones running Win 8.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OXINARF:
You are wrong. For example: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...irst-look-at-the-nokia-lumia-820-amp-920.aspx This is official Microsoft blog, and you can see they're calling it Windows Phone 8 devices.

Windows Phone Devs

I have a question for Windows Phone Devs,

What are the necessary requirements for a phone to run Windows Phone software? Is there a certain amount of buttons they need? And also, does the new Windows Phone interface still use .cab or has it moved on to a new type of extension for self-installing files?

Is it still possible to install files without the Windows Marketplace?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafioso:
I don't know if someone has pointed out yet or not, but our galaxy s3 i9300 will never be able to get wp8. The reason being WP only runs on Qualcomm SoCs and not Exynos, and that too only dual core..quad core support is being anticipated only on next release of WP. Its a Microsoft restriction and not even Samsung can do it, if they wanted.

However, the US version of the phone may get it as it uses Krait, but I think for that to happen somebody needs to write a custom boot loader for the phone first. Its extremely hard and would require another genius like Cotulla (as he did for HD2) to do such a thing. Once that's done, ATIV S rom might be ported to it as both these phones are very similar hardware wise.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasimkhan30:
Anyways windows phone support only qualcomm processors that to max 2 core

So you cannot port it to our devices

Well use a windows launcher to satisfy yourself :D:D

Just sold my htc sensation for 180 and brought a Nexus for 250 and i must say this is amazing! I am still adjusting to the larger screen size and I cant wait to explore roms when i get this baby rooted later.

I do miss having a micro sdcard slot tho :(

[HTC Sensation] dyc4ha:
Hi all, I am new here please take it easy on me :)

Recently, my phone restarted unintentionally, although I am not sure of the cause. It was pretty hot (overheated?) or perhaps the battery was critically low. Either way, my contacts would not show, and my call history is gone too. I am using s-off FW3.32 with the respective ARHD 6.6.3. Also, a process keeps "stopped responding"; android.acore or something.

Is there a solution? I intend to superwipe and flash the new FW and latest ARHD if there isnt another solution; but i was hoping to wait for a stable cm10 from bruce or another stable jelly bean rom.

Much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I looked this up.here in January on xda they had a solution . It said the problem came from facebook syncing with contacts. The solution was first delete facebook, then go into app manager, contact storage, then clear data. This has been proven to work for several people according to the thread I read. I hope this solves your issue. Best wishes! Please don't forget to backup your contacts BEFORE you do this because they will be gone once this is done. This way they can be restored. I found this information under android process acore. It's written here on xda January 2012 if you would like to take a look at the thread.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Clouter:
Hi there!

I'm running a fourth bar 3.0 rom, and everyrhing runs good so far. When I try an other rom, for exemple speed rom 7, or cmod9, ect... I have an issue. As soon as the rom boots, when it comes the main screen (clock screen), I have a message saying something like (my handset is in french, so I don't know if translation is good); sorry, application android.phone has stopped.

I have updated my firmware, to 1.46 RUU videotron update, and running on FAUX kernel (kernel from fourthbar 3.0 rom). I run the stock hboot. I'm s-off.

My question is, how can I fix that issue, when I boot on those roms? Because, I can't run theme with that advice. Can I flash the TMOUS update, or it's just for t-mobile users? Do I need to update my hboot and kernel?

thank you!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] thompsd:
Sounds like you need to update to ICS firmware, did you do that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Clouter:
I have updated to 1.46 RUU (for videotron costumers), but, is that enough? Do I have to update to TMOUS ics leak??

[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
You can try, but it will not work unless you SuperCID your phone. Since you're S-Off, you can do that. There are threads explaining how to do it. After that, download the latest T-Mobile RUU, such as the R2 version. Be sure that you get the full RUU, and not the OTA! OTAs don't work unless you do some complicated tinkering to it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Clouter:
Ok! Thank you so much Keylogger! I was wondering if I must supercid my phone to run these roms. Obviously I have to!

Thanks for your help!

Mine s2 is 16 gb

But in storage internal is 2 gb and

usb storage is 4 gb

and am using 4 gb sd card

I play a lot hd games my usb storage is full with sd data of games

When I copy sd data to my sd card its not reading or not working

Can any one help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Ok, here we go again..

Firstly "need help" is a ridiculous title to use. Topic titles are supposed to describe your topic briefly so that people browsing can see at a glance what topic is about. Majority of people will simply bypass/ignore your thread if you lave silly titles like this.

Second, you need to provide more info like what rom your using, have you checked the roms thread incase other people have had same issues?

The 2GB is a partition of your internal storage for your system. The rest os for your installed apps/appdata etc. Also, what do you mean by copying sddata to sdcard, and "not working". If you expect help you need to be more descriptive.

[Xperia Play General] BensJammin:
Hi guys.

I'm currently a Galaxy i9000 owner with slimbean installed. I just took advantage of the Gameloft sale but I cannot game on a touchscreen, it just doesnt work for me. I was looking at buying a play but they are really hard to get now. Tesco want £429.99!!! Phones4u only want £150 which seems OK to me but I've heard a lot about it being out of date now so is it still worth buying one? How is the compatibility with 2.3 and new apps/games? Will JB ever be ported?

Any help is most appreciated guys. Thanks.
[Xperia Play General] albanezi:
Carphonewarehouse are doing it for £129.99 on an upgrade I think. The compatibility is great even on android 2.3.4. There is nothing to worry about, the only downside of the phone is that it doesn't have a great internal memory, cannot connect to TV via mini-HDMI and the flex cable tends to break over time. My Play is currently at Sony for this very reason. Im hoping my warranty is still valid.
[Xperia Play General] CliveEP:
Had mine for 2 weeks after toying with getting one for donkeys.

I bought one cheap with a broken digitiser off ebay. Replaced this part, sold my iphone 4 and couldn't be more pleased. I've not bought this to play latest games. For me it's the emulators that really appeal and to that end it works a treat.

This emulation rinses the battery though, but gingerbread hasn't proven to be a hindrance one jot.

Let's face it, the key usp of the play is the gamepad and it works a treat.
[Xperia Play General] Parkside:
Exactly what I've done. Got mine 2nd hand for about £70. Emulation is where it's at - fpse is great seems to run most psx roms with gamepad support. Sure the graphics are old school - but the quality, gameplay and depth on many PS1 classics is far superior to most modern mobile phone games. Other emulators work well too - all of a sudden I've got a gaming device with a back catalogue of 1000s of games.

As a phone it's ok - but even when it was released it wasn't top of the range. As far as I can tell it has more or less the same storage, cpu and gpu as nearly every other 2011 xperia device (except the arc s). It's like Sony didn't foresee games becoming more processor demanding in the coming year or two.

That said, it had a massive price tag at release, if they'd gave it the best hardware, that price would have been even higher.

Guys look at the pic.when i watch video i am always getting these black spots. They appear only in black scenes.Look at the girls hair.how to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Problems with the panel itself aren't going to show up in a screenshot...

Lots of people notice/complain about these spots though, ever since the phone came out. Its just part of the inconsistency of manufacturing AMOLED screens. Some panels are worse than others. If it bothers you enough, ask for a warranty replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nightwish sgsl:
:( the worse part of this phone..wtf!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tohno:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I cannot see what you mean, but I never understood why people complain about the screen of their gnex. Either I have a screen from a good batch, or I'm just not noticing what others refer to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Common on any phone with an AMOLED screen. There are inconsistencies like banding, ghosting, blotchiness, etc.. Is it serious? Depends how picky you are.

So every time I flash CM10 and GApps JB, I have to go through and uninstall about 13 apps that I just don't want. It is very cumbersome and I was hoping that somebody could show me a template for a script or CWM zip file that I could add to that would remove all the apps for me.

Are you doing a clean install every time or just upgrading? If you're just upgrading, you can "disable" each of the apps and they should remain disabled after updates.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jrk190:
Alright, Yesterday, My family bit the bullet and purchased Smartphones. I got the Xperia Play R800x, and upgraded it to 2.3.4 while in the store. After reading and looking around, It seems that unless I downgrade to 2.3.3, I can't root it. I then found that if I upgrade back to 2.3.4, Many features would not work. Is this true, or has progress been made so that I may root my Xperia without worry about the repercussions and drawbacks. I'd like to keep 2.3.4, but if I can't, or upgrading back to it has negative effects, how can I fix it. Also, how does the whole 'rooting' process work? I've read several guides and seen many methods, but, as a beginner, I'd like to know what's easiest and most effective. Thanks in advance!

Anyone know how to get the flashlight to stay on after the screen turns off on ICS based kernels? The light will stay on for a few seconds after the screen goes off but will then turn off until I press the power button to wake the phone back up. I've tried a few different apps with the same results. The only kernel that seems to work is Sebastian's over clocked kernel but I assume that it is based of GB. I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I tried searching but found nothing.
[HTC One X] ColdDoT:
Hello all,

I just received my second One X and this one also has somewhere between 3-10 dark dot defects (pixels that are black). Where 3 of them are plainly visible if you set to full white screen.

As i'm starting to wonder if this is normal or not what do you guys think? Is this normal or should i once again return it??

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
I don't think that is normal mate.

Dead pixels are never normal.

If I was you I'd return it, but more often than not you got a refurbed replacement that is either as bad, if not worse with faults. (If that makes sense)

So either put up with it, or send back and hope for the best.

Good Luck mate !
[HTC One X] hamdir:
no not normal, try the dead pixels apps from google store

if the pixels are colored/stuck, they can be fixed
