[Surround General] leoramen:
Hello

I have an ATT HTC Surround Y8788 it is unlocked to use with any SIM anywhere.

OS Version 7.10.8107.79

Firmware Revision 2250.21.40300.502

Hardware Revision 0003

Bootloader version: 1.52.2250.4 (120323)

Chip Soc version 2.2.5.0

This phone came with a DFT firmware and it looks good, however it keeps crashing and the phone reboots by itself for no reason.

Therefore, I want to go back to a stock rom and start freshing updating to where it's possible using Zune.

Now my question is, I downloaded this firmware: RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE

Can I go ahead and just flash my phone using that firmware and then start updating?

Will my phone work properly or I have the change of damaging my phone?

Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Also this is kind of urgent, thanks.
[Surround General] jdbastardy:
You can use that but it is a VERY old ROM for the surround. I suggest you to stick with the RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.52.502.04_5.66.09.09_22.46.50_RELEASE which is a more recent ROM. 1.03 had a lot of problems on my surround.

thanks I tried with that one, but I got an error when trying to flash it, error 226, it gets to 10% and then the phone reboots and the flash is cancelled.

I have a Rogers HTC One X that I had OTA updated to 1.94.631.3. After doing the update, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev and installd TWRP recovery and flashed CleanROM 4.5. What I am needing to do now is to go back to Rogers stock. Is there anyway that this can be done.

[Asus Transformer TF700] markjano:
I bought the TF700 about a month ago, and have noticed that the recording volume of the microphone is low. It does work, but it makes Skype, Google Hangouts, Google Talk all difficult to use as you have to talk loudly in to the mic for the other person to hear you, if I look at the screen and talk normally, the person on the other end cannot hear what i am saying.

Also when recording video, it does pick up sound, but even with the volume turned up full you cannot hear the audio on the recording very well.

Is this typical of all TF700s or should I be looking at changing it?

My children have the Acer A100 and that has a similar issue but its well document with the explanation being a poor quality microphone. I wondered if it was the same with the TF700 but I have not been able to find any similar complaints online.

Any feed back from TF700 owners would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mark
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Might be another hardware deficiency slipped under the fence by Asus.

I'll check mine and report back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MrDoody:
i do skype and hangout on my Infinity and haven't had any such issues. interestingly, i DO have such issues on my iPad2.

maybe there's a mic level setting that's somehow gotten messed up? are you sure your case isn't blocking it perhaps? maybe it's just a defect?

doody.
[Asus Transformer TF700] markjano:
There is no case on it, so cant be that. I phonex Asus tonight and they had me do a data wipe, but it made no difference, the kids much cheaper A100 works far better than my TF 700 in any app tbat uses the mic, and tge mic in the A100 has been highlighted as poor quality.

Anyway got an Rma number from Asus so guess ill be tabletless for a while.

Thanks for the feedback
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Bummer...

I did check my mic...I found it to work well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Naki23:
Hello,

I have exactly the same issues. Mic volume level is very low and it's almost impossible to use skype etc. Did anyone by a chance found a solution? Maybe some app to adjust/boost mic sound level?

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crack_Master:
Hello,

I'm also looking for an app to control my microphone. Last summer, I bought my tf700t and, suddenly, the microphone is no longer working since couple days. If I'm taking a video or using Skype, the sound is noisy and extremely loud.

Maybe I need to use the warranty, I don't know.

If, by any chance, you have a clue to help me out, please let know.

Cheers,

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Is anybody thinking of making the switch from their current RAZR/RAZR Maxx?

I don't even see why they made the RAZR HD, it only makes sense to get the Maxx HD in my opinion.

Much as I love the improvements on the new RAZR phones I don't know if the changes are significant enough for me to change phones.

The Galaxy Note 2 looks like a beast, only thing for me is that I don't know how comfortable it will be in my pocket. I've held the first NOTE, although it is huge I can still hold it and use it decent. Just carrying it around seems like a hassle.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ericshmerick:
I have an AT&T upgrade sitting there and am eyeing the Note 2...but my GSM MAXX + Nexus 7 works fine as-is. Also, the Lumia 920 looks interesting.

Whatever gets my upgrade will be the best possible device out there. We shall see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bled82:
Going to look at buying the galaxy note 2, unless rumors start to drop about a nexus device from moto/google.that has as good as specs as gn2.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I am hoping we'll see the next Google phone made by more than one manufacturer. I would definitely look at the Motorola one if the specs were right.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Verizon didn't get the next google phone since big red is totally against development and locking boot loaders. Android is Open Source, it's suppose to be developed on!! Now Verizon needs to approve android updates too? That's bull crap.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
I have been in love with the note ever since it was announced.

This Motorola has the best reception and GPS of any phone I have had though so the new RAZR hd maxx is in the running too.

I exercise with my phone so something too big might not work that well.

I don't think a computer would be necessary after the note though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vampiricsoul:
I have plans of getting the note 2 when it drops. Only problem is I will be paying full price since I don't want to lose my unlimited with Verizon
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
Me too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I know that sucks but it's so worth it for unlimited data on Verizon's 4G LTE, it's fast where I live. After you get the Note 2 just sell your current phone online.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jaocagomez:
Depending on price and avaibility i would change my razr maxx for a hd maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panafone:
I'm really excited about the MAXX HD, but not sure if it's coming to Malaysia.

Not really a fan of the note, though. Too big for my hands, and head.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] razielpr:
Im switching to sgs3 im done with moto Don't matter how good the phone is i will never buy a moto phone again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
If it's because of the locked boot loaders, Verizon is locking down Samsung phone's too. Probably all their Android phones now. For me, Motorola has it's pros and cons. I mainly chose my Maxx for the wireless radio and battery life. But I do miss the Samsung camera on the last phone I had. And Samsung software is smoother too.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] souljaboy:
im not that rich so ill be getting the Atrix hd
[Motorola Droid RAZR] razielpr:
That's not my case i live in puerto rico and we get the international phones so no Verizon excuse for moto and yes i will never buy a moto again because of The bootloader and their lies about unlocking and then screwing everybody with a developers edition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] panafone:
Go for the galaxy note 2. It looks crazy powerful, and with a huge 3100 mAh battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
I think the Note 2 might be good for you. Samsung phones are easy to root and flash stuff on in general without the locked boot loader.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] razielpr:
I'm going for Note 2 just waiting for the pre-orders to open here to get mine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] louis.b:
Razr HD/ HD Maxx: Yes. I like the new hardware design and big battery is a plus. The main disappointment is the AMOLED screen. Why cant they just use the screen on the Atrix HD??????

Note 2: Nope. Anything made by Samsung is a no go. ANd their fan boys are like nazis trolling around the internet bully everyone whose preferences differ from them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
They're using Super Amoled HD for the RAZR HD & Maxx HD. The same display that's on the GS3. I like it personally. It's a lot better than any qHD or pentile in my opinion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Semseddin:
I will get the Razr HD with its cool kevlar coating. Amoled HD display will just be beautiful, no doubts with that.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Firstly, this isn't a complain, just a way to try to understand what's happening.

I noticed some devs (from the few we already have) are leaving.

What is the problem? Personal? Phone power? It was only a temporary phone? Users aren't being polite or thankful? Xperia S seems that won't have much developers, this was a fact since the beginning.

Since the beginning, FXP and Xperia AOKP team are here, but a few other devs doesn't hurt. Doing mods, other ROMS (I confess I'm jealous of the number of roms and mods on the Arc forum. Heck, I want that Pureness Rom so bad).

Again, only trying to understand, I AM NOT COMPLAINING.

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryknex:
A Serious Issue!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] josie87:
Maybe because some users are complaining too much for the hard work they get for free. I think that we should praise our devs more and also that we should donate more. Development of a rom takes days/weeks. Not everybody can afford to do that totally for free. Maybe xda could offer a humble-bundle-like buisiness model for professional devs. (pay what you want). With that we could attract skilled and motivated people. And paying at least 1$ for a rom wouldn't hurt anybody but reward the developers.

Please don't attack me for that. It's just a suggestion. I know how hard development is. At the moment I also have maybe a 100 interesting projects, but I can't afford to realize them cause I don't get paid for that. And everybody needs to live from something.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gamesky:
people here doing those for free, and of course they have life too.. it's sad to see some few people just rant about their mistakes...if there's bug in the kernel/rom..report it, instead of ranting or venting anger :/

hope to see more development for our devices..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
MAyB the user complain more & 4get to give credit to the DEV's who have put in hard effort to make it & sacrificed their useful time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HellRoot:
Maybe because they have gotten better phones than the Sony ones... But it is sad yes.. I would love a smooth and fast rom... But hope more devs will come... I have tried a little for my own and will maybe continue xsx kernel but I can't promise anything as I don't have much time because of my final masters degree assignment..

But we must hope for better days ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Which, somehow, it's strange. Xperia X10 Mini/Pro, X8 are low end 2010 devices. They still have some active devs there.

"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
Look at x8! They even have miniCM9 n 10! Haha! And many Roms and juice to taste! What I can say is that let's became dev to serve our community! It's about time to do it ourselves!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Who's leaving? I'm not leaving, I'm temporarily studying :P

I think the MooDeD (what's the right capitalization in that) dev left, but I don't think we've lost much here. Doom is having a lot of problems IRL, and so do I for now. Jerpelea and Kali- are working on 8960 devices, me, Nick and Keiran on U8500 and AOKP for everyone, krabappel and others work on modded stock ROMs and stuff. What else do we really need? I mean, it would be great to see more skilled people here, but we're getting by as we are right now. Give Sony a month or two, and we'll get stable JB with all the stuff working* :)

* - likely except HDMI, Sony uses a custom protocol that's a PITA to reverse engineer, so it's not a priority.

P.S. Also, Xperia Nexus. If it's real and not Exynos (which I doubt), I'm totally getting it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Eracher and mericon just left.

I know. I really wish I had knowledge to at least a Sony based ROM (from Arc to XS). But I really don't know where to start. No dev knowledge.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
I can confirm that we don't always get credit for our work. It's really annoying when users post 10 times the same bug with every release, or keep spamming my inbox with the same request over and over again...

Anyway I won't leave soon, I just have a lot of work to do for school, but I'll maintain my Xperia S stuff :)

As soon as I have some more time I'll also go to making rom from sources maybe ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Would be too much to ask that, if you have any time, to port the Pureness ROM from ThilinaC (if he allows, of course)?

Wanna work on aKernel then? I'd love to get someone to merge all the tweaky stuff :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tbschommer:
I can only say that I also find it embarrassing so see the hard work you guys put into what we (should) enjoy. I for one am extremely happy with your work and wouldn't think of "this button's too dark" or "your rom isn't sexy enough" or whatever.

I'm sure many users also appreciate your work, but only the spammers and naggers seems to get the attention.

Whatever, thanks again for the hard work that makes our toys so much better - for free!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] HellRoot:
I would love to get some help from you with the continuation of xsx kernel... If you want to help me a little?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Why continue the XSX kernel? I'll post some more info on aKernel later, it's going to be... interesting :)

TL;DR default kernel + universal ramdisk + tweaks and safe OC / UV

Grab an otterbox commuter. It's protect your phone well and protect your phone from dust too as it has the cover caps. It's only add a little bit bulk..^^

I currently have a Zagg HD on mine, so far so good. Smooth like glass, unlike their "standard" one which has a plastic feel. Either will work.

Got a good deal on an otterbox so thats going on as well when I get it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TieNN89:
I'm in the same boat as the OP

So many cases around still not sure which one

Here's a few other options as well

Interested in hearing what others have to say

Seidio Active

Apparently only adds 2.2mm to each side so 4.4mm overall which isn't too bad IMO

I've read that this case is easy to put on and take off

You can get it with a holster and/or stand as well

I have the Acase. Originally, I was going to get the speck dual layer case, but I looked at the review from the acase at amazon and it seems better. I also looked at the retail price and its "retail value" seems more, so that's one reason why I got it. So far, great case. Protects both back and side, and front when placing down on a flat table. One time, I accidentally bumped the cellphone on a side of the table and it grazed the case, but no damage to the phone. Glad I have acase on.

From what I saw, the Incipio is pretty similar, so it wouldn't hurt if you get that or the Acase. Just know that the price point is about the same on Amazon, but the retail value is different; The acase is about 40 and the incipio is about 30. I usually choose the higher price, believing that it is the better quality. But that is my bias.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] redram38:
The otterbox commuter or defender are great cases. I have no problems with the defender buttons, the commuter got better after about a week but I wanted the holster the defender came with. I did however take off the screen protector the defender came with. I also tried the Acase like you show above and it is ok but no where near as protective as the otterbox. Oh and the Otterbox Defender is on Amazon for about 29.00.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:
Go with the Acase. You can't beat the price and the case is great! Nothing against the other cases, but this case is just as good if not better. Hell, you could get two for the price of some of the other ones. Here's my review when I first made purchased it:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
By design. Impact hits and the outer hard shell breaks apart to absorb most of the impact. Then the case can tumble on the ground with the polycarbonate case with very light impact.
