[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Parkside:
The latest stock build has been heavily optimised - the difference between it and custom roms in terms of performance is pretty minimal.

However, in terms of native customisation not so much and I don't really like the Sony UI.

Put Apex or Nova launcher on it instead and you have a different beast though.

Stock build, custom kernal, a few mods and Nova launcher = very slick phone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
Not sure if you have a pre-rooted stock .587, but if not:

Download a copy of the stock from boyracers list http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1627627 (i usually pick generic nordic).

Then follow Knight's insturctions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1849802 to root it youself. It's pretty simple and nice to have hold of if you have problems with other roms.

Pair it with something like sirkays ics kernel or the new flykernel and your laughing... Apex launcher gets a +1 from me too

do anybody knows what keys to press on the physical keyboard to be able to change the input language?

i have Hebrew keyboard as well and i couldn't find any way to change the the language input on physical keyboard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mulakshoo:
This is a limitation of the Android OS - you cannot change the language of the physical keyboard that easily - I never found a way to do it, but theoretically it would involve access to the software or a configfile for the text prediction so that it suypplies cues from the physical keyboard to another predictor for another language
[Samsung Captivate Glide] AraDreamer:
Long-press individual keys for alternate letters, and there may be an app for converting the physical keyboard, but it will almost invariably require root. I would also try finding other nationalities who accomplished this and learn from them. -Ara
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
as the mapping using the virtual keyboard of AnySoftKeyboard supports physical keyboard mapping i mange to make it work only when i change the virtual keyboard to Hebrew first and then slide the keyboard out.

this is very inconvenience cos every time i want to change the language i need to close the keyboard and switch to virtual one, change the language and star over.

maybe there is a way to add input option via the power button? like using jkay deluxe or something?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] braintweaker:
I can tell, how this problem is solved in case of russian layout, but not sure, if it works for hebrew.

Root, then use an app, called Keyboard swither from market.

After that, I installed the special verison of Russian keyboard, that had a layout, compatible with glide.

This version can be downloaded from here
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
the problem with keyboard switcher is that he just put an icon on desktop.

if i'm using sms app i need to close it to use the switcher, so its not the solution i need.

thanks for the help tough, we need to find a way to make a shortcut via combination of keys

to achieve this, maybe a script for int.d that can apply shortcut function on physical keyboard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] braintweaker:
Oops, sorry, i've named the wrong app, its called Keyboard manager (com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmLauncher).

How it works: it sets 3 types of keyboard for every device status - landscape, portrait, and the slide out one.

So, if you set the apropriate keyboard with a right layout and ability to swith languages via alt+space (like russian keyboard), you can use your HW keyboard with right char set (the software keyboard itself is hidden in this state).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
thanks man, that work great :) keyboard manger and the anysoftkeyboard combination is the fix i needed. i think it work as well when i'll upgrade to ics later on :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] braintweaker:
Yep, it does. I use it at ICS rom with no problems.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] tegr96:
anysoftkeyboard doesnt work for arabic

Thank you for sharing this, this method is great! it works for me with bulgarian keyboard but it doesn't with arabic.

Is there anyway I can use the physical keyboard to type in arabic?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
are you on ICS or JB? cos if you are with stcok GB you wont have the arabic fonts.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] tegr96:
I'm on ICS, I tried go keyboard with the same method it worked but its showing lots of non Arabic letters, probably Farsi or Urdu I guess, I'm still looking for another keyboard with physical support, I just looked at the language packs of AnySoftKeyboard, they say that they support physical keyboard mapping for Hebrew and Russian and probably other languages but not Arabic :(

If you know any other keyboards with multi-language physical support please share.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
you should try it with anysoftkeyboard anyhow maybe it will work.

unfourtantly i don't know about other keybaord that support mapping of physical keybaord escpasly our right to left languages.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beekiller1:
hi im looking into buying one of these phones but idk which i want i know they are kind of the same but i know that the optimus 2x is over seas phone but im not worried about that

i just wanta ask for a little info this will be my first dual core phone

im looking for a 4g phone idk if the o2x will get it in usa?

idk what dev is better?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Icanthelplt90:
I would say get the g2x for USA connection-wise, although the o2x has more of a development base and we g2x'rs just get everything ported eventually to us. This line is pretty awesome (if you can deal with little quirk here and there). AS for what dev is better.... thats nonsense. Every dev has something to contribute and without most of them we wouldnt be were we are today with our phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
The phone version you need depends on which cell service provider you have a plan with. The G2X and Optimus 2X (except for the Canadian Optimus 2X which is a G2X) work exclusively on different networks. First, decide which network you are going to sign up for then pick the appropriate phone version.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] desynch-:
I agree with the above, but take into account what you want, and how much you have to spend. Where you are located is really important to determine connectivity.

After having played with the G2x for 5 months now, I'd advise someone to spend their money elsewhere, imo. If you can get it for cheap, no brainer.

Dev support is practically a chain. International O2x's gets the goodies first, while we get the end of the stick.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuvin:
Also make sure you understand that the G2x Does not have an FM Radio.. Just in case you need that. Optimus 2x Seems to have a working FM radio while I've heard ours is disconnected by hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Long long.. long ago. I got turtle beach headphones I highly regret getting. The issue is after the speakers caved in I was left with two wires, one that is used to hear in the head phones. Comes with a standard av set attached headphone jack for these turtle beaches and other headphones. Another cord was for the mic.

Now for some time I've been using the av headphone jack cord for surround sound on my ps3 "after hooking it up" then left with a cordless jack. I can attach any headphone inside and I'll get sound. My issue is however I cannot control the volume, it stays on a mid range volume that isn't high or low.

So I was wondering is there an app that can do this by using a duo headset jack plugged into my phone and connecting the jacks? It seems a lot harder than its made to be but it is worth it, if your wondering why I just don't use my headset in the surround sound its because my headphones aren't long enough and the ****ty phones jack plug in I bought is loose on 3.5m headphones.

Is there anything or am I doomed for now?

Edit: here's my example -
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
Everything every where are going 4g Soon.

I know the US version gets very high speeds.

Will i need a new phone?
[HTC One S] paranoidaditya:
the US HTC One S says 4G but its just DC HSPA+ which seems to work in India (Vodafone) its not 4g but we can say partial 4g the hspa+ signal is doubled to get double speed 42Mbps if am not wrong ..cheers bro .

And Like here 4G LTE (100mbps) is launched if it is launched in UK too , you will need new phone . NO 4g LTE phone has been launched yet in India . But they are giving Wifi routers
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
ah pants, wish id known before buying:(
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
Realistically I don't think it matters. NOBODY actually gets anywhere close to 100 Mbps on any LTE connection. They'd be lucky to get 30. In that sense if we can hit those speeds on DC-HSPA+ then who cares about LTE?
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
so can i get the new 4g in the uk or not? Im now confused?
[HTC One S] paranoidaditya:
Hopefully yes, use this phone only dnt sell it ;)
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
So keep it and see i guess?

Only i would of sold it before there is a mass of htc one s phones on the market that are not capable.
[HTC One S] sherry478:
I read that the lte frequency in the UK is 1800mhz and the one s supports 1800mhz band
[HTC One S] frdd:
LTE is 4G. One S does not and cannot ever support LTE, and it's not a matter of frequencies.

One S does support DC-HSPA which gives a theoretical down link @ 42 Mbps.

Many many carriers around the world has DC-HSPA, Three in Sweden has it for example, though I haven't managed a better speedtest.net result than 19 Mbps myself on it... Best TMOUS speedtest.net I recall seeing here was ~25Mbps I think.

None of the 4 swedish carriers with LTE networks promise more than 80 Mbps, though the rules for calling something 4G originally stated it should provide 1Gbit to stationary users and 100 Mbps to mobile users.

T-mobile in USA calls DC-HSPA 4G for marketing reasons but it is still a 3G UMTS technology. Still plenty fast enough for anything on a phone IM:angel:
[HTC One S] Gavin01:
sorry im still confused...............

In plain terms for a idiot...

Do i need a new phone to take advantage of 4G as the mobile companies would have me believe
[HTC One S] frdd:
To take advantage of what some carriers like TMobile US would have you believe is 4G you don't need a new phone. If Three UK is anything like 3 Sweden then they have a nice 3G network which can pass for 4G in America.

To take advantage of LTE which is even faster you need a new phone.

You could download hrrm stream I mean say 9 HD episodes of say Top Gear and thus fill your entire sdcard on the One S in 120 minutes on a decent 3G connection though so I'd say LTE isn't really needed.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
does 4G have a more reliable connection than 3G as sometimes i find 3G drops on the One S
[HTC One S] Troute:
In the UK, 4g is only available from EE (Orange/TMobile) and only in very few places and yes you need a new phone, also deep pockets because it is expensive.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
After tweeting EE, they said the phone wasn't compatible with their 4G network.

Sent from my HTC One S+
[HTC One S] surrealjam:
Yes - anyone wanting true 4G (LTE) will not be able to do so with any HTC One S.

It is worth noting, however, that anywhere you can get LTE you will almost certainly get HSPA+ (which is supported by One S). For most, that will mean speeds over 2Mb/s and up to 7Mb/s and cost significantly less than LTE. With EE currently not being very generous with their download limits (or coverage), why not stick with 3G until the market gets a bit more competitive? That will fit in nicely for when you are probably due a shiny new phone...

[Desire General] Doublewise:
Hi, with current promising progress in jb Rom, I'm thinking investing on new battery replacement for my Desire. I found:

1. www.cellephone.de/en/mobilfunk-zube...ion-google-nexus-one-replaced-ba-s410/a-2866/ polarcell with 1400mah capacity made in German(?) and

2. www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen...e-htc-desire-vodafone-htc-desire-1600mah.html mugen 1600mah same size with stock. More expensive than the first one.

Anyone have experience with one of them? How its quality and durability? How its compare to original HTC battery?

Thanks for sharing and advice.
[Desire General] quadrupole:
I've not used the mugen, but there is a round up of some ~20 3rd party batteries for nexus 1 where Cameron Sino came out top. 2400mah with extra back cover. I found it on Amazon for about 7 gbp.

I run runnymede AIO, original battery could not make it through the day some days. The new one gives me 50-70% used in per day. Has been known to give 3 days when roaming (Wifi & voice, no 3g).

Hope this helps
[Desire General] Doublewise:
Thanks for info. I thought nobody will answer my question :)

Btw, I prefer same size with original battery. Extra size will make my Desire case useless. The polarcell and mugen I mentioned are normal size.
[Desire General] bliblablub:

batteries of the same size as the original battery that promise greater autonomy or mAh are, usually, fake and often with a capacity much lower in comparison to the original batteries
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefuwl:
I've updated the LH1 firmware the other day and noticed everytime I restart the phone it will run this service for about 30mins.

From what I remember, the last version only occasionally ran this service after restart.

Is this normal?

It uses a fair bit of battery when this service starts. BTW I am using better battery stats
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
Basically, the phone kept re-scanning the SD card contents for media. I wish I could tell you what I did to make it stop. If I recall, it was a corrupted file that kept causing problems on the scan. If you've added any media files lately maybe see if one of them is causing a problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefuwl:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliashadow:
Try Rescan Media to disable it or enable it when you need it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sefuwl:
I removed the SD card and restarted the phone, the mediascannerservice still started.

I don't recall any new media files other than the ones taken with the camera but that is stored on the sd card.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I had this problem on moving to latest jb leak, ended up formatting internal sd to clear out and it did the trick
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deus_ex11:
I have this problem too. It has been on every JB leak since the first one. Every time you reboot it would run the media scanner for 30 or so minutes but sometimes less. ICS runs media scanner every reboot but only for a couple of minutes.

If you have cpu spy it will show you that it is running it at 1.4 Ghz for that time. Your S3 is warm and there is battery drain from it running all that time. Your phone is also sluggish after every reboot.

The only way to stop it running every reboot is with rescan media as mentioned above.
[Android Apps and Games] degiovab:
After fighting with the PayPal app for longtime (and not finding a solution on the internet) I would like to share with you what I discovered.

My problem is related to the PIN authentication option, not working.

I have no problem authenticating with the email+password combination, but any attempt to authenticate with the #phone+PIN fails.

I discovered that the app checks the phone locale (language settings) and uses that setting in combination with the phone number.

I live in Italy (and have an Italian mobile operator) but I prefer to keep my phone (tablet, pc, etc.) set to English launguage.

That's the reason why the PIN authentication does not work.

If you have the same problem, you can check and try setting the phone to the same language of your mobile operator: you'll then see if the PIN authentication starts working.

I do not really know if this is a security feature (unlikely, since the locale can be changed very easily) or simply an alternative way to find the phone country code, but it would be much better if PayPal could change that to allow a more flexible international usage.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] melvatron:
Can anyone point out where on the the attached picture where the GPS antenna is for Captivate Glide?

I've read just about every "fix" involving various flashes and editions of gps.conf, and they're all bogus, as they are not consistent. (my opinion)

I've seen some other handsets on here with physical fixes by applying some action to a bit of hardware, and going to attempt the same...

However I cannot find anything, anywhere, with the info I want to get started.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dr. Mario:
Try editing sirfgps.conf instead. It sets the status of GPS controller. Go to line - "ENABLE_LNA = 1" and set it as 0 and optionally set "FREQUENCY_AIDING = 0" to 1. IMO, it's real silly trying to "fixing" the GPS problems on the outside, while it's simple to disable the LNA, it have fixed my problems. I also set up a thread concerning this workaround.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] melvatron:
sifgps.conf

It would seem playing with sirfgps.conf does bear fruit. So thanks for the pointer...

Also, simply removing the battery cover for a GPS lock yields upto 7-10 strength (based on monitoring using GPSTest.)

Combination of the two consistently gives me a lock in 5-10secs. Just annoying to do that before every bike ride....

PS. for the record if anyone is interested. The GPS antenna is immediately to the right of the headphone socket, if you are looking at the rear of the phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
This is good to know thanks for that. I never had an issue with the GPS personally. Thanks for sharing this :)

:

A work in progress…

Stock & Rooted (need kernel and update)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dr. Mario:
Aha. Interesting pointer, melvatron. Now if you think about the battery cover - there's graphite sticker which Samsung claimed to have the function as a heatsink (which is like a snake oil claim mainly because in reality it have NO contact with anything). Graphite can and does weaken the high-frequency RF, like GPS in some case.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Seems like an odd observation to me, as it's nowhere near the GPS antenna. It's directly over the SIM card and SD card, which suggests to me it's intended to prevent radio interference with the tiny SIM/SD pins. (Where'd you find this "heatsink" claim?)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dr. Mario:
It might be in PDF version of the manual for this, mentioning the graphite sheet - on the inside of battery cover around SIM - for the heatsinking claim, the manual spelt out "Warning: Do not attempt to remove the graphite sheet from the battery cover. In doing so, may result in damage from overheating." I recall reading those.

And I take it back - I re-observed the whole thing.

GPS electronics have several downright strict design rules that must be followed during designing and prototyping stage: the clock source must be of clean and higher quality (temperature-controlled Quart oscillator - TCXO), and the proper capacitors with higher frequency response (about 0.1uF - can be MLCC as long as ESR meets the requirement of stabilizing DC rail going into both LNA and GPS transponder processor). Ever wonder why the traces on computer and phone motherboards looks SO DIFFERENTLY between 90s and now? That's mainly both RF and signal phase managements.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

Re-downloading the PDF version of the manual so I can tell you what page you may want to see - about the Graphite sheet on the battery cover (dunno why it's there - but as they say, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!").

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Found it - page 4 of the manual - http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...-i927_Captivate_Glide_English_User_Manual.pdf

You can type in "graphite" in Adobe Acrobat reader and let it search for this keyword.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
I don't know if I trust user manuals, especially from non-English-native companies, to say the right thing -- even if you discount the massive opportunity for things to get lost in translation, explaining its likely true purpose (reducing EMI in circuitry on/near the SIM card & SD card) to someone that doesn't have any electrical background is likely an exercise in futility, so they often come up with excuses. And yes, removing it is very probably a bad idea. Worse, even, because it's likely to cause intermittent issues with no clear source, so you may never make the connection.
