[Nokia Lumia 920] Tomatoes8:
The iPhone screen and the One X screen are overatted. Sense 4.0 makes the One V screen look nice.

Not that I am saying the Lumia 920 will have the best screen or anything because judging by the videos, the 8x and One X screen does look better still. The point is that most high end devices have pretty nice screens and none blow the other away. That is just fanboy talk. They are all quite close except for the deformed iPhone 5 screen. No one wants to watch movies on a bookmark.

I think they all will be close with the 8x taking it provided HTC gets to sensify wp8. If not, the One X probably keeps the crown or maybe the Optimus G. That screen looks sharp in videos too.
[Nokia Lumia 920] floepie:
What do you mean with all this?
[Nokia Lumia 920] katamari201:
Wow people are arguing that the One X has a superior screen to IPS, when the One X screen is a FREAKIN IPS screen. HTC has given it a fancy SUperLCD2 name to differentiate but it is still an IPS screen. The other high-end type of LCD screen is PLS, which Samsung puts in its tablets. It's similar to IPS but is cheaper to make. There's nothing else. HTC hasn't developed some newfangled LCD technology. The top tier is all IPS, with different variations and quality.

Comparing the One X to the Nexus 7 is stupid since it is a budget IPS screen. This was known since the beginning when DisplayMate ran tests that showed it clipped a lot of lower black shades. The One X ain't perfect either. It is overly warm and personally as a previous owner of the One X, I was not impressed by the contrast, viewing angles, nor the warm and sleepy look. The iPhone 5 and the iPad 3 have the best and most color-corrected displays on mobile right now. I know there will be many screaming bloody murder, and in fact there already are people doing so, that an Apple product is ever mentioned in a good light. The ability to reason escaped them long ago.

I can tell the Lumia 920 has a better display than the One X. How is that you say? Through many many youtube videos. People are gonna go blah blah you can't compare screens through a youtube video or that my screen sucks and it will never be able to showcase a better display. This thinking is flawed since experience shows to be otherwise and evety screen I've seen on youtube looks almost the same in real life. The One X looks warm and sleepy with average contrast on my computer. It was the same way when I got it in the mail and booted it up. The Lumia 900 has these awful blue live tiles on youtube videos, because it's Nokia's AMOLED tech and the colors are all wack. Same thing confirmed on literally half a dozen Lumia 900 models displayed at my local AT&T store. The iPhone 5 and iPad 3 screen are just as good in person as youtube videos suggest. Youtube videos will exaggerate any color imbalances or lack of sharpness and general screen quality. You need to look for the high quality hands-on videos, not the crappy blurry amateur porn looking ones with strange hues.

That's how I can tell the Lumia 920 is better than the 8X screen. The videos of the Lumia 920 make the colors look far more neutral, more colorful and bright, and much higher contrast and even looking. The 8X has the same screen as the One X, which doesn't have the same contrast, has a warmer and sleepier look (like the cinema mode on a TV), and just isn't as punchy.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Tomatoes8:
Someone is on crack. Like I said before, no matter how sharp the iPhone 5 display is, it loses on shape and a pathetic width alone. It makes everything look tall and skinny or really short and wide unless you zoom. That is an automatic fail.
[Nokia Lumia 920] lumpaywk:
I don't get why you think this as it has just changes to a 16x9 aspect ratio, This is the same as most screens on new phones 720x1280 i think its the same as the one x though don't quote me on that but it is deffo the same as the upcoming htc 8x. I hate the iPhone i think its stupidly over priced over hyped and dull, but, the screen is still really nice though i found that the blacks are really grey.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Tomatoes8:
It has the same aspect ratio as the One X but 16.9 aspect ratio doesn't work for small screens. And since the iPhone 5 screen is no wider and only taller than their old 3.5 inch screen, they should have kept the 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPad uses 4:3 because that is the proper aspect ratio for IOS. The iPhone 5 screen is ugly as hell and just does not fit. It is the equivalent of using one of those skinny or fat mirrors at an amusent park as the mirror in your bathroom. It doesn't matter how nice the glass is it is still a circus mirror.
[Nokia Lumia 920] floepie:
? If you have a 4:3 aspect ratio with a 1280x720 resolution, you would have rectangular pixels, very rectangular. In fact, almost every phone with such a resolution has rectangular pixels with the exception of the new iphone whose pixels are as close to properly squared as you're going to find. That means everything on the new iphone is properly proportioned, whereas on most phones, images are slightly widened in portrait and lengthened in landscape.
[HTC One S] dell4320:
Finally good news, after getting ready to ditch my phone the latest system update to 2.35 solved the calls issues over wi-fi and skype calls now crystal clear.

i am in NJ area, i get download speed about 10+ and have the 30 dollars 100 minutes wallmart plan with 5GB 4G data.

before the update, skype and wi-fi calls were useless, now it is perfect.

Another tip:

I have unlocked boot loader, cwn installed, for some reason I could not do root as instructed by it seems that I can get free wired tether through pdanet.

Good luck every one, i got a lot of help in here and now i am happy to report the improvement.

:)
[HTC One S] oryan_dunn:
So there is not delay on WiFi Calls now?

Also, is the icon for WiFi calling the same? A recent update to the SGS2 on Tmo, the WiFi calling icon changed to something much more ICS looking instead of the garish blue box with a wifi icon in it.

Also, cause you mentioned wifi calling on the $30 plan, I was wondering if the wifi calling deducted minutes from your plan.

[HTC Sensation] pushpann:
Whenever i try to call someone in CM9 roms (all roms based on cm9 including aokp,miui,etc) most of the times, it doesnot call that person instantly.

But after 30-40 seconds, it calls the person, and sometimes i am not even aware that my phone has made a call. Last time my phone went to my fren's voicemail for 15 mins. But sometimes(around 1 time in 5) it calls instantly, otherwise it doesnot call at the time, but calls(definitely) how many times i pressed the call button. This issue has been killing me.

In every other roms, not based on cm9(all sense 3.6 roms, sense4 roms, and CMX roms) i dont have this issue.

i tried every kernels out there, still no help.

Any suggestions guys?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
Hi all!

I'm an xperia x8 user with the basic (or some more) knowledge about Android. I really like MiUI, but my phone is weak to run a MiUI smoothly. Five or four weeks ago i saw Xiaomi M2' hw specs and price and found it awesome. My Q is: What do you think about this phone? Do you trust Xiaomi and shipping partners? (I wanna do)

Share your opinions please, I'll thank y'all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krizid:
I ordered from realpricesfromchina. Will let you know if I get scammed :laugh:

M2 looks really nice. So far this year I jumped from 4s > xperia s > one x > s3 > iphone 5 and now I want to go back to android. but i'm in love with MIUI and this M2 phone specs and looks are pretty good. Price is cheap for such a high end spec'd phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebouilleur:
Hello,

So, do you receveid your phone from realpricesfromchina??

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantamedo:
Wow! nice specs

tell us more about this phone when you get it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoblast:
hey guys, I use the Xiaomi M2 and it is a great phone. It does not have google play on it but its easy to add and does not require root. The screen is crazy good (especially comparing to my Huawei Honor) and it's just so quick. I'm not a huge fan of MIUI but some really love it.

Anyway, despite the fact that it is currently sold out in china and unavailable for sale anywhere else, I got my hands on a few of those. So if you're interested you can contact me. I'll sell at same price as the website mentionned in the thread but you will not have to wait until March or something to get it and I can use paypal so that you are protected against fraud. I'm also a former powerseller on ebay and am selling in on eBay too but at a higher price to cover eBay fees.

Selling it for 450 on ebay, can do for 400 here.

I hope you don't feel it's a spam, I know how hard it is to get a hand on this phone...almost as hard as the N4...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentz7:
So ive been using omega v27 based on the official Poland Jelly Bean rom, and i have noticed that my battery is draining quicker when im on wifi... i used better battery stats and my wifi seems to be keeping my phone awake unless i put on settings "turn wifi off during sleep" on never.

I wanted to know if someone else is experiencing something similar to this, i thought my drain should be higher on 3G/Hdspa, however this is not the case.

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielk0302:
I thought battery drain should be higher when using wifi
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silentz7:
nope.. usually the phone consumes less battery on wifi.. well at least thats how i thought it should be
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABC_Universal:
In my case wifi doesn't keep the phone awake, or at least not awake like with softlocker which causes much faster battery drain. With wifi always on, mine can standby more than 1 hour for every 1% battery according to battery monitor widget.

seems like i fixed it, no idea how though
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ph03n!x:
As some of you would have heard, the so-called "Remote Wipe Attack" is not limited to Samsung devices or their TouchWiz UI's Dialer, but affects a wide number of Android devices.

I suggest all of us assess if our Android HD2 has this vulnerability, irrespective of the version of Android it is running-

To check if your phone has this vulnerability, visit http://dylanreeve.com/phone.php - Read the link I had posted above for more details, but in short, this site has been put up to see if your phone has this vulnerability and does no harm. If your phone has the vulnerability, your dialer should open up and display your phone's IMEI number on the screen.

If your phone indeed displays the IMEI number you have all rights to be scared. Very Scared. :)

This is because anyone can put up a website (or hack a website you browse everyday) and set it to start an automatic Factory Data Reset process without any user intervention whatsoever.

The most effective workaround at the moment is to install another Dialer from Google Play. You do not have to use this additional dialer at all. But just having it installed will throw up a prompt when you visit such websites asking you which Dialer (Stock or the Additional Dialer) should be used to execute the action the website is requesting - and if you are not expecting your dialer to open up, then you know someone if trying to put you through a lot of hassle!

In my tests, ParanoidAndroid v2.13 (Jelly Bean 4.1.1) did not have this vulnerability. It just shows the dialer with the code in it and nothing is executed. However, CM7 Nightlies is vulnerable (so is most CM7/ Gingerbread 2.3.x ROMs), and I worked around by installing Dialer One.

Check this website for more details - http://dylanreeve.posterous.com/remote-ussd-attack

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON THIS - YOU JUST MIGHT BE STUCK WITH A PHONE THAT HAS BEEN FACTORY RESET WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT WHEN YOU ARE ON THE MOVE. NO CONTACTS, NO MESSAGES, NO APPS, NO DATA ON IT EXCEPT FOR WHAT IS THERE ON THE SD CARD - WOULD YOU WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU???

Update on workarounds - Using Opera as your browser seemingly mitigates this attack

Affected ROMs

So far, Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROMs (PA/ AOKP) do not have this vulnerability. Can some also test the CM10/ JB AOSP ROMs to confirm this?

Also, can some test all CM7/ CM9/ GB AOSP/ ICS AOSP based ROMs too?

The list given below is a confirmed list of vulnerable ROMs, and is based on my tests and users' posts in this thread.

CM7 Nightlies

CM9ight

Sense 3.5 based ROMs (@sundawg has confirmed vulnerability in his ROM, but I guess all Sense 3.5/ GB2.3.5 are vulnerable)

Mokee ROM (Gingerbread based)

MyMIUI (Gingerbread based)

NexusHD2 v2.7 ICS (Can those using other CM9/ ICS AOSP based ROMs check for vulnerability please?)

Hyperdroid 6.0.1

Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Sense 3.5

Miui Jellybean 2.9.14 - this is surprising, as AOSP JB has this vulnerability patched. Did MIUI team choose not to include this patch?

Update from CyanogenMod team - Read this post!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
Mine opens the dialer with the code..when i press dial to run the ussd code...it says invalid ussd code...no imei is displayed...so that means my rom is safe..on aokp jellybean beta 2..like all 4.1.1 builds...safe

I am with tytung v27 4.0.4 and before installing ex dialer with the stock One it saw me my imei (I didn't press ok) , with the ex (without un installing stock dialer) it didn't but opened the browser page.

EDIT :finaly with dialer one has the code *#06#, while with stock and ex dialer I see my imei, nothing more

from THE hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
****, NexusHD2 displays the IMEI :/ Can this thread be stickied? People need to see this!

However, I can also confirm that installing a 3rd party dialer brings up a prompt which you can then cancel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarrenNewsgroup:
Hyperdroid 6.0.1 (Gingerbread) stock dialer is vulnerable and so is the dialer app Touchpal Contacts. Both show my IMEI number but I get the popup first. Of course the popup won't appear if you tick "Use by default for this action." so that is not a perfect cure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nixda99:
What I have read, only some Samsung roms have the wipe command via Tel URI integrated. The "Show IMEI" command means not your rom support the wipe command.

CyanMobileX shows the IMEI with default dialer, Go Dialer Ex show the number #06# to dial, but do nothing.

That is actually a bit of a relief - but, like the article you linked says, "...However, one can not exclude that it is possible to trigger other control functions, such as creating diversions on the codes." - I wouldn't want calls to my phone to be diverted to a prankster's!!! Or someone changing my Call Restriction passwords (in case someone left it at the default 0000 or 1234)!!!

I did, my Droid incredible (stock) was not vulnerable to the test.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chris5s:
CM9ight vulnerable as already mentioned.

Workaround: install NoUSSD from market, run the test page from first post and a pop up appears asking which app to use, set NoUSSD as default app and any websites with malicious intent will be directed to this app and not be able to execute any code.

Thanks to op for the heads up on this.

Got a UK GS3 Vodafone branded FW and flashed to stock UK unbranded LG8 as I figured I'd get JB quicker than waiting for vodafone to update their bloatware and then roll it out.

I just noticed there is a separate Kernal and Modem to go along with the stock LG8 I only flashed the actual FW is it mandatory to also flash these other two files as the phone is running fine no problems re-rooting either.

Hey,i noticed the official sammy FW have a ''loose scroll'' ,you swype just a little, and it goes a little bit more than what you wanted, but in CM9, the touch is more ''controlled'', so, there is a way of making the ''loose'' scroll on the stock firmware more ''controlled''? just like in CM9?

Maybe installing a new kernel or another FW that doesn't happen this?

Thanks

ps:sorry for the bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
You can try changing the kernel to something like siyah, etc they come with some tweaks to make you able to change scroll sensibility, stock is 50, you can change to higher or lower depending on your taste.

By experience, cm9 is better in every aspect...without mods

Well, i already installed the latest Siyah kernel (4.1.5) and downloaded the Extweak app but, what i have to modify to make the scroll more controlled?

You just need to scroll to something saying sensitivity in extweaks, you will see it, change to your taste. Gud luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Asmodicus:
On Monday the cheap case I had gotten for my Gnex broke. I wasn't too worried since I have a 2100mah battery on its way, and I was going to have to buy a new case anyways. As fate would have it, the day I decide to leave my apartment with a naked phone is the day I drop said phone in the parking lot. The phone still works 100%, but the screen is cracked. I went to my local Sprint repair store and they told me they could repair the device, but it might be a while (as log as 2-3 months) before they could find a replacement screen. This of course would be covered by my "Total Equipment Protection" insurance plan that I have through Sprint. My other option is to drop $100 for a deductible and get a replacement unit. Unfortunately for me, it's the end of the month and I got a few other important bills that I need to take care of before I can go dropping a chunk of change like that on a replacement phone.

What I am wondering is this: If I went ahead and paid the $100 for the replacement phone, do you think I would be able to turn around and sell the damaged unit to someone so they can use it for parts or whatever, and I could offset the cost of replacing the phone? I've never faced this problem before, so I just want to see what my options are. If anyone has any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas they would like to share, I would be more than happy to hear them.

I'm attaching a pic of the phone in it's current state. I don't know how well you can see the damage done to the screen, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
That is unfortunate. If you look for a digitizer online you can find a tear down and fix it yourself, if you are comfortable doing that. If you do pay $100 for a refurb, wont you have to turn your old phone in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Asmodicus:
As far as I know, you do not have to turn the old phone in. I think they want you to, so they can of course tear it down and sell it for parts or repair it and sell it as a refurbished unit. I'm not entirely sure though if you are required to hand over the damaged unit that is being replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreammaker23:
Unfortunately they will ask for your broken phone. UNLESS, you play it smart and say it got stolen.(you will have to make a police report, as they will ask for the report)

It's either you play the game of Cops & robbers and you let them win by keeping your phone & using it for a refurbished item. Or you win, and beat them at their own game by...Paying the $100 for a "new" refurbish nexus that they stole back from a customer like your self & keep your current phone.

With time, fix it yourself...

Then possibly sell, gift (girlfriend), keep for a long time (antique), or just have the privilege of carrying two Nexus! :D
