This has been my long running question that hasn't been answered. I'd really love to have USBOTG on my Xperia PLAY, and most people canned the idea because it isn't possible. But why the hell does Xperia PLAY's GSMARENA page state that USBOTG is supported? There must be something we're missing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
What we're missing is that GSMArena can be wrong. Originally, the Play was supposed to have OTG support, but it didn't come. GSMArena never updated the page to say that it's unsupported
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
...what is USB OTG? A portable usb charging device?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
It's USB on the go, you can access your USB devices like HDD and Thumbdrive directly on your smartphone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
So for instance you could attach a cord to your Play, then connect a flash drive to the cord, to the play, and access the files on it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff7424:
Yes
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
Too stupid for them not to update it when previously the page also stated that the Xperia PLAY is "planned for Android 4.0 upgrade" and now it isn't there (well because Sony don't.believe canned it as we know). It means the page lately has been edited. Jeez.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Wait, so are you agreeing or disagreeing with my logic? It's hard to tell with the way you phrased that
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Ik how you feel but the reason why they caned it is because ICS didn't have good enough support for the game pad so gaming performance would have been degraded. But if your unlocked then they got a beta from for the play for download
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clayzer The Lazer:
Yesterday i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 2 which is a SPH-D710 running 4.0.4 FF18. So of course the upgrade to FH13 comes out the next damn day! I want to upgrade to the FH13. Will my phone crash into brick mode if I do the update normally? If it will how to get around that? Do i un root it and then upgrade then re root? I have never needed to un root before im a little clueless to how to do that without losing any of my data/ settings. I do have Titanium back up and it does back up everynight. So do wipe the phone and re flash from my back up? I am confused!

thanks a bunch!

Clayton
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
since ur still on stock FF18 after the root, u may not have any issues in Upgrading to FH13.

u might loose the root after updating the same,which u can re-root back for sure:)

do please backup all ur data and also ur ROM before proceeding:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clayzer The Lazer:
does my titanium back up do a good enough back up or would you recommend i use another program?

I just did this update yesterday and the phone is fine. The only thing I lost was the root. You will need to re-root.

You will also get the bloatware back, so you need to remove those as well.

Hi guys, I'd need those two files from a European 3G Xoom2 (MZ616) tablet, not italian TIMIT version.

In particular, I need these voices:

If anyone could paste/attach them, thank you

Been struggling with this question since it was out...The specs are mediocre and standard. Nothing "flagshippy" about them. The cam is both a deal-maker and deal-breaker for some.

But wondering if there is anything I am not seein there...
[Windows Phone 8 General] torken:
You don't need better specs for WP8 it will run perfectly smooth on the Lumia 920! The screen is amazing. Why should the camera be a dealbreaker? The design is very nice! You got exclusiv Lumia Apps so there's a lot more special about the 920 than only the camera.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Mafiatounes:
I don't understand what you said not flagshippy? Based on what specs is your assumption.. The screen is awesome, the S4 chip is one of the best, wireless charging, good camera, free nav and so on...

OS is top of the line, and ram is sufficient for now. 2 GB would have been better, but if you see people with iphones running out of memory, I dont think that will happen on windows phone either.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Unlike android, windows phone does not require as much resources, because windows phone is optimized to run on standardized hardware (just like the iPhone, even though the hardware varies more on WP). You can look at android as the jack of all trades, master of none.

The amount of functionality these new windows phones can achieve is stunning. They can offer the same and much more compared to android due to their excellent hardware optimization, the awesome developing tools (present in 7.5, now they got even better), top of the line sensors and chipsets, and much, much more.

Hell, you can even play computer games on them.
[Windows Phone 8 General] katamari201:
It has lamborghini yellow. That trumps EVERYTHING.
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
Ok....Firstly, a sincere thanks. Secondly, I admit I was quick to react as, yes, you said it, a quad core, more RAM and a slighlt higher MP cam would have been better.

What I overlooked was the fact that WP DOESN'T need a monster of a hardware backing. YEs. That IS true. I have used HTC HD7 and it was as fast on the last day as it was on first. And that too on the specs it ran on at that time.

Today, to be very very honest, my RaZr does lag sometimes. It all depends, on day one of flashing a new ROM, everything is fast and snappy. But the moment it settles down a bit, slow...lag..

So...I have to admit, the Lumia IS top of the line HW with of course amazing OS.

Thanks all you guys for your replies.
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
WHOA MAN!!! I seriously am impressed. You say u don't know much about WP? Are u kidding me..I got to learn soooo much from you ...seriously thanks a ton...

Here's my gift to you, exclusive sneak peak of the next HTC device:

[Windows Phone 8 General] adesonic:
Excellent post, the 920 will definitely be my next phone (unless HTC produce a very special rabbit from a hat!)
[Windows Phone 8 General] Megneto:
I am currently using SGS III (my 7th high end droid over the years), and in all probability it will be my last android phone. Mainly because, over the years I have never found a single droid which was stable / solid performer day in/day out. The issues I faced ranges from un-explainable reboots, hang ups, slow downs/sluggishness etc. etc. So from my experience I'd say most droids have excellent hardware, but extremely crappy OS, which also have iOS's copycat UI (only inferior), but that is just my personal opinion.

To sum up android (thanks to user on another forum):

"Android suffers the Linux** disease of being really interesting for a little while, followed by tears of boredom. When all that's left to talk about is the hardware (read: almost every Android vs. Others comparison is purely hardware-focused), it's clear the OS has lost its charm."

So long and the short of it, I was thinking about going back to iPhone, but then I got my hands on Lumia 800, and having tried it for 2+ months, I think WP is the most efficient*, responsive, and stable mobile OS (I don't really use too many apps, so I don't really care about lower number in WP app store). So I will be getting either Samsung ATIV S or Nokia Lumia 920 (most likely I'll go with 920, as Nokia updates/rolles out new stuff for its phones much quicker compared to Samsung).

* Lumia 800 easily defeated my older droids ie SGS2/Sensation in performance as well.

** I am a Windows 7+Win8x64/Linux user myself.
[Windows Phone 8 General] adesonic:
I currently switch between an HTC One X and an HTC Titan, android has its plus points, but it can be a real pain in the arse, for example sometimes the onex will load up some medoa server thing which eats the battery in about 45 minutes, sometimes the home screen will freeze on loading, if I go too long without rebooting the whole phone slows down and becomes sluggish. No such problems with my Titan! I will be getting me a Lumia 920 as soon as they are released, the Titan will be my spare phone and the onex is going on ebay....
[Windows Phone 8 General] The Janitor Mop:
A lot of what you said is how I feel. Android is a lot of fun and I love flashing new ROMs on my Sensation, but it really fails to be something that performs consistently all the time. It is a strange OS that has a ton of quirks and above all else is the least efficient major mobile OS. iOS and WP don't require the same hardware Android does in order to perform well. I was absolutely shocked when I found that the top range WP devices so far have been using an outdated, single-core S2 Snapdragon processor. My Sensation, with a dual-core S3 Snapdragon, and with custom ROMs and overclocked, still lags, stutters, gets hung up trying to leave an app or switch apps, and overall is a less than pleasant experience. Meanwhile, WP devices are blazing smooth on hardware that is several notches below what even midrange Androids have.

To be fair, Jelly Bean is a really good improvement to Android and I think it has established Android as a legitimate player against the next iPhone and WP8. I have yet to try a JB ROM (we have a CM10 ROM and AOKP JB that are both beta-quality), but if it really does eliminate lag I'll be impressed, because I'm not expecting that it will be able to eliminate all the hiccups that my phone tends to have.

WP8 appeals to me as something that will work out of the box, be a steady and powerful performer, offer something different, and I like the idea of having Windows 8 on my laptop and a WP8 phone. I'm like you, I don't use very many apps at all. Give me a good calendar, browser, note app, FB/Instagram, map/nav app, mail app, music apps, news apps, office apps (which is where I would imagine WP would excel lol), and other useful things like banking apps and I'm good to go. Otherwise, my Sensation is filled with games I don't play much and aren't necessary, recovery and backup apps for flashing ROMs, random benchmarks which aren't necessary, performance apps that monitor battery and CPU and stuff that aren't necessary, and other fluff I can do without.
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
You guys can make that 3.

I too hold a "flagship" Droid right now. But does it lag? Sure. Do I get lost in finding what I want to in the heaps and heaps of apps...? Sure. Do I have tons of games on my SD card which I don't play? Sure.

Is my SD card clogged with more ROMs than pics of my lovely wife? Yes.

Do I spend more time flashing those ROMs than be with my loved ones? Absolutely. Do I open my "app drawer" and just forget what I came here for? Yes...YES YES!

Am I scared with the security this OS gives me for my data? Yes.

[Windows Phone 8 General] The Janitor Mop:
Lol. I'm not for sure going to switch to WP8, because I still have a bit less than a year of my contract with my Sensation, and I only have very limited actual experience with WP8. By the time march-april rolls around next year, though, there better either be a new amazing Nexus or rumors of an upcoming amazing Nexus with Key Lime Pie or else I'll probably end up with the best WP8 device T-Mobile has to offer. And realistically I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see things like quad-core processors in WP8 devices by that time, so they should be pretty amazing.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Megneto:
Just as core count has nearly become irrelevant on the PC, it will become irrelevant on smartphones as focus turns to efficiency on hardware side as well as on OS. Even with next iteration of android, I do not expect it to be significantly efficient from what we have now.

Luckily, I always buy sim free, so I have no constraints about when I can change my phone :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
There its the contract & here its the price. These devices launch at an exorbitant price here(in India ) and then eventually reduce. I cant currently afford a 650-700$ phone...so I think I will wait till it comes for around 500 or something...

Also, The Janitor Mop, I hope u don't mind me quoting you in another forum... your first reply was very informative...in fact every reply was something that has taught me a lot...a humble thank you for it.. :)

[Windows Phone 8 General] ohgood:
I must have misinterpreted this as having CPU /ram monitors, and other odd things running that were causing problems. when I counted, I counted anything with an "s" as being two or three instances.

iirc the s3 runs sense, yes,that will definitely take time to restart, if you kill its processes , or have ram/CPU monitors running that kill it. 10 seconds on a restart or 2-8 on a screen on/power up.

I wonder if you don't have some malware running now, actually.
[Windows Phone 8 General] mcosmin222:
Some stock ROMs do not give you the chance to set how many processes to run in background.

The fact that in most cases you need custom ROMS and rooted android just so you can have a decent phone is a huge flaw.
[Windows Phone 8 General] a7medo778:
i am an upcoming WP user, was really disapointed by 2 things, i wonder if its true

1- each OEM has its own store with apps that other devices dont have access too

2- i cant install my own app unless i publish it in the store... i am not pirate but what i loved in andriod is the fact that i can create an app for a specific reason, drop it and just click on it and install it,,,
[Windows Phone 8 General] Megneto:
About point 1, it is the same on android, e.g. I can't access Samsung's app store if I am not using their device, so this IMHO is a non-issue.

However, as far as I know, side loading apps on WP devices can be done, try searching for it :)
[Windows Phone 8 General] robt772000:
I am going to get this phone. WP7 proved that hardware does not need to be cutting edge to make a smooth reliable experience. I have had many Android phones.My latest is the T3 One X that stutters. Only now that JB is out do we have similar smoothness. WP8 is well built and thought out. I have found more cores and power does not do much to Android. It needs software optimisation like WP8. S4 is all that is needed for a long time on the 920. My 2C :D
[Windows Phone 8 General] Megneto:
Yup, in continuation of my previous post, there are times, when android can drive anyone to the edge, and one want to smash SGS III to smithereens; one good example: at times (when it is not busy crashing or rebooting), it would render home screen in extremely slow motion (and I do not use many apps, 2 games, 1 xda app, sky drive app, & viber), then there are times when it just doesn't want to connect with my home (or office) wifi networks. IMHO if something doesn't work as it should right out of the box, it isn't worth my time or money.
[Windows Phone 8 General] The Janitor Mop:
1) I wasn't saying Android is almost on par with WP8...the entirety of my post was to point out how I think Android isn't on par with WP8 in terms of speed, UI smoothness, and stability.

2) I listed 11 apps that I "need". Is that really that much?

3) I don't have bloatware.

4) I don't have RAM monitors (task killers).

5) Yes, I can concretely say that Android itself is laggy, because every time I do a completely fresh install of a new ROM (and before I restore apps) I get to see how naked Android performs. And it's just as ugly as how it performs when I do reinstall my apps.

I like the overall design and features of Android. It's just hard to love it when I'm in the passenger seat going somewhere and need the Maps app, and the app drawer hesitates before it pulls up, and the Maps app takes a few seconds to load (the app itself, not the actual displaying of maps, which I know can take a while depending on your data connection), and then I press home and the launcher has to reload, which takes 10 seconds, and then I'll hold home to bring up recent apps and go to email, which has to reload itself (which defeats the purpose of multitasking), and then I get a notification and pull down the notification bar, which stutters as I do so, and then I'm at a football game later and whip it out to take pictures, and I press the power button to wake the screen from sleep and it takes 2 seconds to do that, and then the unlock ring at the bottom takes another 2 seconds to render, and then I finally use the camera, and after I'm done snapping pics I decide to put it in my pocket after exiting camera and then tapping the power button again, except it takes too long after I press the home button to exit the camera app so I just press power and pocket it because it's too frustrating.

It's a lot of little things, but they all add up and become incredibly frustrating when you just realize you have a phone that will always have little quirks and annoyances. Right now I could bring up the built-in task manager (not a 3rd party app, the built in one), kill all apps, and if I hit refresh, suddenly 4 random apps that I haven't been using at all will pop up in recent processes. In fact, I am doing so right now, it shows camera, maps, system tuner, htc weather service, calendar, and fb all running. Which is funny, because camera and maps are the only ones that should be there (I either didn't use the other ones today or already killed them). I just hit stop all, and then refresh (free RAM of course increased after killing those apps), and now contacts and lookout security popped up. Literally killed all apps, and then randomly some others popped up that do not randomly start running on their own. And this happens with many different ROMs that are Sense based and not. It's the kinds of things that make me want to throw the phone at the wall and get one with an OS that actually works.
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
Sounds exactly like me..of late, after reading all the news of WP8 releasing soon..my Droid has started to lag even more....

Here are a couple instances why I Want get rid of this buggy-laggy OS for good.

1. I get off the bus at night and the streetlights decide to test me.

2. I whip out my ultra-cool(ultra-expensive) DROID

3. (the fun begins now) its pitch dark outside and has just stopped raining. The roads are wet and my gate is quite far. I Badly NEED a torch app.

4. Enter>app drawer page one..no..page two..no..page three..NO...WHERE IS it??

Did I install it? Yea I did...no..wait I didn't...page 5...page 6..may be its on home screen 3..*hits home screen* scroll scroll...OH YES!! Its on app draws page...*BANG*....

I didn't find the flashlight app, but I did bang into my gate in the dark...

I'm sooooo getting a WP for sure...

I think that's more organization issues than android issues lol.

Anyways, I'm also switching from android to WP8 come this november (when my contract expires). One thing I'd like to know is if the wireless charging mat comes with the phone or not. Or will I have to buy it separately? I know that with at&t, chances are that I'll have to pay $200 for the phone and then another $30-60 for the charging mat, cause it doesn't come with the phone. I hate those jerks lol.
[Windows Phone 8 General] circleofomega:
It doesn't come with the phone. On Nokia.com u can see what's in the box.

And no it's not organization issues.

U can keep all your important icons on the homescreen. But if u need something out of the blues, u will have to climb down into the deeper dungeons to fetch that one little icon.. :P

Wow that press event was really bad. I got bored and decided to skim through it. The audience was funeral-esque. Was there any music or entertainment before/during/after? The speakers were oh so boring and scripted/unemotional. Any semblance of enthusiasm was such bland affected robotic acting. Mitt Romney would be proud. The worst was the guy near the end who was staring off into space and sounded like a valley girl trying to rebel and stick it to the man for making him do this silly presentation. I am so sold on the phone though, regardless of how bad the presentation and speakers were. When they were holding the phone in their hands and placing it on the speaker and doing various things with it, the thing just looked so great at all angles. I was gonna get the yellow, but the lamborghini yellow has turned into comic banana yellow now that I've seen it enough times. The white it is! Steve Ballmer, like some commenters say, is pretty evil looking and sounding. More like a kingpin who smokes heavily. Elop is just like a fat child who doesn't know what in the world is happening and is bumbling around.

I'm sure there's a million and one starving actors in NYC who would've given the presentation some actual life. They already blow so much money on useless and/or faked ads as it is. Why didn't they get any of those people to speak for them? Some pretty faces to follow after seeing both Elop and Ballmer in the same camera shot. Shudders.

I've seen the charging tokens and mats at best buy since the pre was announced. might not be as attractive a setup, but they are easily found.

I had one of those setups on a phone I picked up off Craigslist.really neat. really useless in everyday use though... can't use the phone while it sits on it (without knocking it off, or standing directly over it) and its impracticle to not have a charger in the car, on the bike, in the office, etc
[Windows Phone 8 General] eyeb:
the charging mat needs the backcover as well. like the palm phones needed the touchstone stand+a cover (before they were built in)

I'd like the wireless charging so I do knock it off table, it doesn't pull wire along and harm phone, except the drop but then it still gets hurt even on wired charging

it's also easier to set down at night to charge and pick up in morning.
