[Xperia Arc General] mr_torture:
Being "outdated" in desktop OS world, and being the same in smartphone OS world, is not comparable in any way. Windows XP is now 11 years old (and yes, it still serves well), and the difference between XP and Seven for example, is in cosmic proportions. Both, the cosmetic-wise and the function-wise.

While on the other hand, GB is just about 2 years old (if we speak concretely about 2.3.4, then year and half old), and difference between it and ICS is not that big at all, in practice. Yes, if you check Android OS changelog, you can see quite big list of improvements in ICS compared to GB, but I'll repeat, in practice, experience is not that different at all. So I don't think that GB is "outdated" in the same manner that Windows XP is, not even close.

Speaking about our device concretely, I think that GB looks beautiful, appearance-wise, and it acts pretty well also. Very smooth and functional, even without any tweaking. Yes, ICS update has some nice tricks here and there, and it looks a bit more modern (cosmic flow wallpapers are among the best I ever saw in mobile world), but all in all, I think that GB is better choice for this phone. At least untill SONY release another ICS update, more optimised for older hardware, or untill we get (if we get) official JB on our phones.
[Xperia Arc General] Squiver:
I'm also back on stock after a few tries with Jelly Sandwich, but with a lot of apps removed I'm better of with stock (for now at least).

I need som advice though about what launcher to swich to, or even if I should swich!

I would like the one that takes least RAM and battery power from my arc s. That probably is the most simple one, but I don't know wich one that is.

I've heard that holo launcher, launcherPRO and apex should be something like that. But what do you say?
[Xperia Arc General] rec71:
If you use Sony widgets - music player/Walkman, weather, etc. then they will only work with the a Sony launcher, so be warned!

[Xperia Arc General] bo6o:
In another thread, I mentioned, that I have tried almost all custom JB and ICS ROMs around here(as the thread starter), and got tired of lag, battery drain and bugs. I dind’t mean to insult anybody in that thread, I respect the real devs, and I’ve done what I describe thanx to their efforts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml-tGwEfzVA

The result is in the video – super fast STOCK ICS, with superb battery life(in standby) and these mods:

-	Supercharged (didn’t see any difference so far)

-	Mooded camera mod

-	GX Launcher

-	Quickpannel widgets and some visual tweaks

And now I got everything I wanted. Stable stock ROM, fast, almost bugless – 2g/3g switch(if you hold your finger – it opens the network settings) and 2g/3g preffered after restart. Had this before, think it’s from the notification widgets and/or the panel settings, but it’s not a bug that is worth spoiling the experience.

And you have the freedom to mod your rom, however you want.

Do it yourself – it’s not hard, and it’s delightfull.
[Xperia Arc General] Nooby Arc S User:
NICE VIDEO. I wish I could have my phone running that. Looks great :)
[Xperia Arc General] bo6o:
You can do it yourself - flash stock .587, root, kernel is stock .587 with cwm, supercharge(optional), flash whatever mods you want and you are ready. Also remove any bloatware you don't want/use. Battery calibration is also helpful.

If there is any interest, I can try to make a flashable backup file.
[Xperia Arc General] whyparch:
Hey,

I have done quiet the same thing. My ROM consists of:

-Milans-4.1.B.0.587-v2.1;

-JB Ardeno libs;

-Xperia GX Home Launcher with preferences.

-Xperia T SystemUI

-Some Xperia S apps like TV launcher and Movies

In benchmarks I got 1368 in Quadrant, 31 in Nenamark2 and 3880 in Antututu

That's it. Nice, simple and smooth. I recomand these changes for all of you :)
[Xperia Arc General] Nooby Arc S User:
Umm sorry to say but on stock without mods with lupus kernel I got 4100 on antutu.

Sent from my Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc General] Patambiz:
Igot more 4500 with xarc and stock also with new libs
[Xperia Arc General] Nooby Arc S User:
Haha. I think I can top that. :D On CM10 I got 5300 ...

Sent from my Jellybeaned Arc S
[Xperia Arc General] Patambiz:
Yes I got 5500 on cm10., since it was kinda not user friendly I went back to ics. My max on cm10 was 5700with oc..
[Xperia Arc General] whyparch:
To be smooth enough 3880 is ok... And I was thinking we talk here about stock things, kernel as well
[Xperia Arc General] trunghieuhd93:
Jelly Sandwich 6.2 ( coming 7.0) + adv stock kernel = the best!:p
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
This thread is on its way to becoming a flame-fest, so it's time I locked it.

The OP has a point and many valid opinions were heard.

We just need to remember that adding files into a flashable zip and then talking as Steve Jobs would talk about it (magical, revolutionary, awesome, wow, incredible, just wow) is NOT developing.

Anyway, no matter what the Arc development section has come to be, some users benefit from the work shared and some choose to mod their phones according to their needs by themselves. Nobody is in any position to critisize anybody.

Thread closed.

[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
This is my first post I think... So I'm a total noob in that I haven't tweaked any phones before of any type. I've spent probably 20 or so hours in the last few months looking around these forums but due to information overload I'm just gonna bite the bullet and ask about my problem.

Sensation z710e - hboot 1.27 all stock plus OTA updates. No warrenty.

I'm in New Zealand. My phone thinks it's in Taiwan (CID). My GPS sucks and I have read somewhere it's probably looking for Taiwan local satelites and not the ones currently over my head.

There is a system file (read about it elsewhere a while back which I'll have to fnd again) relating to GPS and an area code so it can find the right satelites accurately. Mine quite likely is a few thousand miles off :silly:

I need to edit it. I don't know if I need to change the CID or no. I don't want to flash any roms. Just the bare minimum.

Can someone with experience give me a short list of what to do for this? I got lost as to if I need to s-off and/or root. I like it the way it is I just need it to recognise it's emigrated so I'll likely lock it up again once I've done this. If possible.

Frankly, the more I read in here the more confused I get as most is unrelated to my basic needs. I just want a list of what to do to edit a system file and what order and I can search and find the howtos myself.

ps. If anyone has tips on getting the camera to recognise red as not pink then I'm interested in that too.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
There is a free app on the play store called FasterFix that will change those system values for you. It works like a charm IF and ONLY IF that really is your problem.
[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
...which requires root. So that does not answer my real question about what I need to unlock in order to properly do this. And in what order.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
You cant edit system files without root. The option is not available.
[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
Ok. So what about the rest of my question? S-Off yes no? Anything else I'm missing?

Is it really this hard to get a simple list?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If you are going to come here, complain that its too complicated and demand that everything be spoon fed to you then ***** when you don't like how its spoon fed to you....the yes. It is that hard to get what you want.

Good luck fixing your problem. You will be doing it completely on your own due to your ungreatful lousy attitude.
[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
Is that your useful suggestion as a "senior member" here? I'm glad I don't offer such technical help in my field of expertise.

I don't care for step-by-step detailed spoon feeding. I asked for a short todo list so I could go work out how to do stuff myself. One sentence could have answered it something like "You need to root your phone, then s-off, then edit file xyz.cfg and change the CID". Then I'd know what to go search for. I suspect its something similar to that but I am unsure and unwilling to screw up my phone by doing unnecessary things.

I'd already tried FasterFix before you suggested it and discovered that, as my original statement suggests, my phone can't use it until I alter it. Which is why I asked what I actually need to do. You might as well have told me to flash a ROM knowing full well my phone isn't rooted.

I would actually be grateful if someone answered the original question. I know this community can do better than this or I wouldn't have come here for help.
[HTC Sensation] wlteh:
Perhaps you'd like to root your phone 1st so that you'll be able to unlock more capabilities of tweaking it? You may wanna head down to this thread and check it out -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632553

This will help. It's everything you need to do. Please follow this guide. Best wishes hope this helps.

Here is a guide for you for your h boot version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
What a delightful new addition to the forum you are.
[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
Rooted and s-off. I still don't know if I needed to s-off as that question was not answered, so I did it anyway. Possibly overkill.

Tweaked the gps.conf manually (fasterfix gave me only a black screen so it's useless) and after reboot got a fix of 7 satelites within seconds. As opposed to before where I got about 4 usually and a fix taking several minutes, if at all, and not being very accurate.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
S-off will really help you.. If you want to restore back to stock in case you are running custom roms.. And it makes these things easy

Now regarding the gps fix you did..

Care to explain what guide you used for manually tweaking the gps? Is this the one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17081413?

Or did you flashed the agps patch? (in sensation dev section I think)
[HTC Sensation] SonOfAdam:
I did see that guide and used the link in it to find my server but since half the contents in that guide weren't in my gps.conf I started by just replacing the american server line with nz.pool.ntp.org. As I had already assumed, it wasn't using a local server.

The option was there to add the other stuff if that didn't work but that simple little step sped things up a lot. And since I didn't know what half the other options did I chose to not put them in.

If there's anything specific I can add to further increase GPS accuracy/speed then I'm open to suggestions.

I don't plan on running any custom roms which is why I wanted to know what steps were actually needed since everyone gives instructions assuming it's all about the roms.

XDA Members & Note 10.1 Owners:

Okay. So now we finally have a means of purchasing the official Samsung book cover for our wonderful tablets; but where's the variety? Are we to only have leather folio or Samsung book cover as our choices? I'm noticing a serious lack of variety in the accessories department here. Even my Tab 7.7/GT-P6810 (Which was a total flop; due to price, not quality. It was the best tablet I've ever owned.) had a decent selection of cases.

So which accessory and/or case manufacturers do we need to start petitions for.... Otterbox, Ballistic, Spigen, Speck, Trident, CaseMate, Belkin? Personally, I think a shiny black Speck Candyshell to match the one on my GT-N7000 would be perfect. They do scuff something aweful though. Maybe an Otterbox Commuter; not to flimsy, not too bulky? What do you guys think? Post below!

Thank you,

Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

P.S.: My fellow Android enthusiasts in the states... please take a few moments out of your day today to appreciate the things in this world you most take for granted. Take a moment and appreciate life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Remember the WTC. Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] bakuub:
Unless someone can point me toward an alternative

I really enjoyed my case for my nook color by JAVOedge. Tweed Book Case.

They had made cases for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Austin Axis Case.

I like the fact that their Galaxy Tab 10.1 case didn't use the standard cover the bezel approach to hold it that so many case manufactures like to do was a major plus to me. I just want something that isn't completely leather or plastic. If I could just find a holder like that for the Note 10.1 I would try to Frankenstein that Axis case for my Note 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] seventwozero:
I would love to have a Trident Kraken or Otter Defender. I sent an email to Trident asking if they had plans for a note 10.1 case but didn't get much of a response out of them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I also had a really nice case for my NOOK Color. It was an Otterbox Commuter. I used it on my NOOK Tablet too. It was fantastic! I got rid of my NOOK Color in December and my NOOK Tablet in February; but I still have the Commuter case. I really wish I would have kept my NOOK Tablet. That was such a cool little gadget. Personally, I think gadgets are more fun when you have to hack them and repurpose them to do what you want. Hacking the NOOK Tablet and turning it into a fully functional tablet was just a lot of fun. It made me really appreciate the thing. Between my NOOK Tablet and my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6810), I don't know which one I regret selling more. They were both so great.

Anyway, with that being said, I'd really like to see a Commuter case made for the Note 10.1. I would say that a Defender case might be better; but as a case meant for a tablet, I think that the gummy, silicone feel of a Defender case would be a little weird. I absolutely loved the feel of the hard plastic outer shell on my NOOK Tablet's Commuter case. It felt nice and solid, but not gummy and/or overly bulky. I'd like to petition Otterbox for a Commuter case. Would you guys jump on if I started a Note 10.1 Commuter case petition thread?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] kman79:
Otterbox

Incase

I'm more interested in a Hard Case type, something like a Defender from Otterbox. I went on Facebook for Otterbox and asked if they had plans to release a case for the Note 10.1, there response was "Not at this time" :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] californiarailroader:
I think there are a lot of cases out of the Note 10.1, at first there weren't but there are now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] bakuub:
There are a lot but seems like 3 maybe 4 styles but multiple companies making variants on those styles. My issue is I want some variety of the materials used. The look of the PU leather is overdone and boring.

When I had my (ahem, ahem) iPad, I really enjoyed this case, it was not that cheap when I bought it, but it was my favorite:

Click on the pics to go to Amazon website. This thing provided the most protection anything under $50 could buy. The back grooves felt really nice on your palm and you could have held it for hours.

mine is currently Blackice 1.60. whats yours?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
Are you from the past or what? :D

Seriously, now there is CM10 and even CM11, noone is using these old ROMS anymore...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
Sorry?

Not trying to get the credit off the jellybean and ics devs, they do an amazing job, but ics and jellybean are more dead than CM7. They just reached a dead end. There are betas, alphas and unsolved bugs/critical features for ages on all of them!

I just want my phone fully working. I'm not a beta tester.

I'm using CM7.2 and it rocks. But sometimes I go back to BlackIce.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
well IceColdSandwich, official ICS MIUI, some sense ROMs, XGS series, etc. are all practically bug free. CM10 is almost as good and still improving.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joooe:
Tried a few ICS and JellyBean versions.

All had camera, mms, lag problems and, in general, a unstable behavior.

And it seems they are here to stay.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SmOgER:
I'am sure you haven't tried then MiUi ICS nor XGS series.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkid123:
Most AOSP/AOKP/CM ICS ROMs are perfectly fine, same for all of the newer 3.6 ROMs and some of the 4.0's.

But I've recentally taken a thing for cm7 based ROMs (again).

I've used 7.2RC (Official), Blackice, hydrogen, both oxygen ports. I'll be adding MookeOS soon as well.

I think Blackice and Hydrogen are the best out there. Oxygen is a little too stripped down for me, and 7.2 could be lighter (as demonstrated by Blackice and Hydrogen).

Hydrogen has going in it's favor: Extremely fast (fastest ROM ever, after reboot everything INSTANTLY works), extremely fast mount speeds (with a class 4 mounted onto my computer, read speeds averaged around 3.5mbps, with other ROM's it's around 1.5-1.7mbps).

Blackice: Great battery, same amount as Cm7 (I've used CM7 6 hours straight, screen down at the lowest, airplane mode, still had 40% left), pretty fast (you don't really need faster), and lockscreen widgets is working.

Against Hydrogen: Average battery life (2 minutes per 1%), lockscreen widgets (in cm controls) isn't working. I don't care really.

Against Blackice: not as ridiculously fast as hydrogen.

tl;dr IF you want as much speed as possible, and having only a day of battery life is okay, then go with hydrogen. If you want to really use your phone, and you don't mind not having a near dual core CPU and 1gig of open RAM speeds, then go with that

I personally prefer Hydrogen a little more.

i want to buy it but i heard about overheating problem and that scared me ..

please tell me about this problem ? is it serious or that normal and don't effect the phone work ?

if it serious problem .. is there any other device with same price and better than NEO V and don't have this problem

and is this device can play all HD GAMES or not ??

please tell me soon

waiting your reply and your advise ..

one more question : what do think about( WT19 Live With Walkman ) is it better in heat or not when use data connection??

Hello buddy, the problem of overheating is real but it does not affect the performance of the device (you do not know whether it affects the useful life) is an awesome machine ran all the games I tested until now, hd and wheel games in thd also among other applications.

OH COME ON WHAT OVERHEATING?

I have been playing Shadowgun and the phone is cool.

Also overheating is a problem with EVERY phone.

My phone only overheats when i use onlive which streams 720p video which means it uses wifi/gpu to render the video and i olso play which means extra cpu usage. With less words it uses mobile device TO THE MAX!

Well anyway dont buy xperia neo GO for samsung galaxy s.

It is faster by about 400mhz and costs around 20$ more

There are so many models out from that phone, so type the phone number to clear it out. I mean like galaxy i9003 for example.
