[HTC Sensation] Hunt3r.j2:
Hi guys, this has been posted before but it was moved out to Android general Q&A for no one to answer it ever again.

Please note that this is extremely specific, because the Sensation is the only international device that HTC released with S3 SoC and qHD screen, so it is the only device that might have the full Chinese IME support in HTC's keyboard.

Does anyone know how to add that support to a similar device like the Vivid or Amaze 4G? I have read that some have tried to replace the apk but it doesn't change anything, so it has to be some other dependency within the ROM that determines the languages available for use. Does anyone know what the files are, and how I can add more languages to an existing HTC IME setup on Sense 3.6 ICS?

mobile-phone-unlock.com was advertised here in a HowardForum banner and so thought they'd be OK...now wondering if they're legit. Have read some bad reviews on them, and not seen any good ones. I requested an unlock code for my Note 2 from Mobilicity yesterday, and got this email reply from Greg:

"I'm Greg from Mobile Phone Unlock. I will be manually calculating a code to unlock your mobile as the system was not able to do it automatically.

It will take me about 24 hours to generate the code but for your particular handset I need you to comfirm some details of the handset first to help me calculate the correct unlock code. Can you please visit this link and fill in the details.

htt p:// www.mobile-phone-unlock.com/details.php?tj=MPMMF4Y5V&ma=MPARVWI6L

Once you have clicked the above link and submitted this information I will get back to you within 24 hours."

Requested info:

1. Tick box if handset under 3 months old

2. Where did you buy the phone?

3. Can you confirm the imei is correct by pressing *#06# as the number on the box may differ from the number on actual handset.

Is this all necessary and sound on the up and up?

Thanks in advance.

hey guys, I have an old android 2.1 phone, Moto Flipout, which cannot play any HQ video in youtube. The problem is when I open youtube with wifi connected, this apk will always play video in HQ mode and then I cannot watch any video at all.

I noticed some guys can modify youtube apk and force it play any video in HQ mode. So I guess maybe some guys can also modify and make it always play video in Non-HQ mode.

Could anybody modify this apk please, or at least let me know how to modify it myself? Thanks a lot.

This seems to be a known problem, but the last thread I can find about it is back in May. Is the 23 fps in video recording hardware related, or is it the software? Is there a way to get constant 30 FPS while recording 1080p like almost all the other phones out there?

Sense JB update has a fully rebuilt camera and is capable of up to 30 fps, also camera mods get you up to around 28-29 fps.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Hi, :)

I'm from Indonesia, and i own Xperia Ray now, and i am interested on Razr Maxx because of the battery life but beside that, i also expect the non laggy performance of a dual core and 1GB of RAM.

Can the Razr Maxx be recommended for me at this time of year? Fyi, the Razr Maxx is still +- 500 USD Sim free on my country, while Acro S is around the same price, and SGS3 for around 650USD. Meanwhile the original RAZR is around 350USD (on discount) and Galaxy Nexus for 330USD. the Razr Maxx HD, which is my dream phone, is still unclear whether it will come to my country on the future, regarding of Motorola decision to reduce the Asia Pasific scope. :(

Things that make me doubtful with Razr Maxx are the CPU+GPU side (which is so 2011 but nonetheless should be still more powerful than a single core of Xperia Ray shouldn't it be?) and the unclear JB update path (no precise date mentioned on upgrade table).

Should i choose another phone? Or should i wait for the Razr Maxx HD? Really need your input who owns RAZR Maxx :) Thanks for any input

PS: I prefer not having a Samsung device cause of the TouchWiz. My preferences is to use ICS UI, or any UI that is unobtrusive to the ICS core UI (like Sony's ;) )
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Nobody likes to answer? :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RedRamage:
I won't be too worried about the existing hardware on the Razr Maxx. I'm running ICS very smoothly, and while I'm not running any super high advanced programs, nothing I've tired to run has slowed it down at all.

That said, with the way phone tech is changing so fast, I probably wouldn't get a one if I was looking right now. Newer phones are designed for all the advantages of the newest OS, the Maxx was a 2.3 phone while 4.2 is out now. Just two examples: The Maxx still has the "hard" buttons at the bottom of the phone. The newest OS has "soft" buttons. A 'full screen' program and use that button space to display a bigger area. Additionally, the Maxx does not have a gyroscope so it can't use Photosphere, the newest thing for the Android camera.

Sure, these are both relatively minor things, but they'll start adding up. Two months later there will be something else the Maxx can't do that others can. Then another thing, then another thing.

Look at it this way: My phone is less than a year old and already it's being surpassed by other, newer devices. 12 months from now there will be devices that have surpassed those devices. My phone will now be two or more generations old. I can live with that, because in 4-5 months later I'll be moving to a new phone. But if you're just getting a new phone now, will you really want to be trading it out in a year's time?

That's not to say I hate my Maxx right now. I don't, not at all. But with smartphones the technology comes rapid fire. What was top of the line 12 months ago is average now, and obsolete 12 months later. You'd be buying average right now, not top of the line.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Pretty much everything that RedRamage says is true but..... the decision mainly lies in what you want. If you plan on making calls, watching youtube/netflix, playing games such as shadowgun and just normal things such as that then you can't go wrong with a razr as it won't be left in the dust regarding app development for sometime, there isn't much money in making apps that can only be available to people that can afford the latest and greatest, you may not get the crispest of graphics down the road or smoothest of motion but, it will work!

If you are looking to overclock, heavily mod, and try to push your gpu to it's maximum, then the razr is not the way to go as it has an encrypted bootloader so custom kernels can't be flashed, and the processor is dated in comparison to new devices rolling off the shelves. There are some custom ROMS you can flash with a taste of jellybean regardless if it will get an official update or not. ICS runs great on the RAZR and a couple apps like crackle and overskreen don't seem to like jellybean much

If you go with the razr, just spend the extra and get the maxx, the battery life is worth it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Hi Red and Draxin, thx for the Reply :)

About the Onboard buttons, myself actually don't mind with the onboard button, i actually like it more than the on screen button which takes up some real estate. About the photosphere, i'm not sure but shouldn't it work on all Android phone? I mean, if Google Sky Map can work, why not Photosphere? and with this sheet of details of Razr Maxx being real, i won't count it out too quickly http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/08/behind-the-glass-a-detailed-tour-inside-the-motorola-droid-razr/

Yup you're right, but in Indonesia, the RAZR Maxx was launched June 2012, seems the phone cycle is not as fast as it is on USA or other places. There is not even one Snapdragon S4 based phone here today, the highest only SGS3 for now, even the Bond Phone doesn't show it's nose while the film is already on the theaters.. :( really digging for Xperia T/TX but with my experience with a 1500mAh battery on Ray, i'm not sure that i want to have those flagship phones with meager battery capacity anymore..

Myself is not really a tech maniac on the phone side. All i want are smooth experience, no lag operation with great battery life. so if it is smooth and can live long, i'm all for it :) if i am a tech maniac, surely i will set my eyes on the Xperia T or TX, or Nexus 4 maybe but once again battery life hinders them :(

Thanks for the input too :) I'm more of an internet guy, the games that i like to play are the simple ones like Angry Birds or Bad Piggies, all those HD games is just too hard to play with on screen control so not my cup of tea. but majority of my current phone's battery goes to Internet related application like Maps and Browser.

The standard Razr is really tempting though, at 350USD it is a really cool phone to be had.. but well if only the Maxx battery can be plugged in ;)

Well, i am okay with no kernel modification, as long as i can root at least, it's okay :) it is rootable isn't it?

Thanks guys, your inputs are helpful, if any please give me more input :) that would be greatly appreciated. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
I'll say no. Battery life is good on max, the phone is a bit laggy on ics. And I don't want too spend another year waiting for jelly beans update.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Ou, ok.. :-/ Could you describe the lag you experienced? How's the situation with Live wallpaper enabled? Hmm.. or should i wait for that Jelly Bean update first? Holy smokes maybe RAZR Maxx HD or Razr i will be here then :D #reallyhopeso
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
The phone is not laggy for me in stock ics...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Draxin:
Yes, it is easily rootable thanks to eternityproject.

Now if you are looking to flash custom ROMs....... that is where it can get a little tricky, and ypu would need to do your homework. Some wont work with a bootstrap recovery and some ROMs may soft brick or possibly hardbrick your device if you flash with the wrong recovery. If you are planning on flashing ROMs, get to know RSD lite beforehand.

Personally I haven't had a reason to look at custom ROMs, I run rooted with Stock ICS with NOVA prime launcher and it just purrs for me, I have jellybean on my xoom and the only thing I miss is google now. I grabbed boot menu manager apk from the playstore (thanks whirleyes) just for nandroid backups though it is capable of much more.

One question for you though, since Indonesia is behind the US in the phone cycle, are you sure ICS is available in your region? Razr is shipped with Gingerbread, and had read about another fella from South Africa that wasn't getting ICS (jeanjaqc I believe) pushed it with RSDlite, and when he was done, the phone wouldnt communicate with his computer so he couldn't root
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
When i came to look around at local Phone store booth, the Standard Razr was on display and it ran on ICS, so yeah i am sure the update is already available. :)

Well, with ICS already at near stock condition, i think i don't need to flash custom ROM i think.. :) Just remove those bloatware (if any, thank God no Verizon here :D) and it should be decent performer i think :)

Seems like i will take the plunge at year's end, maybe the phone will be on sale around 400US$ later.. :p will pray for that ;) Thanks all :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vash_h:
Basically, the phone is awfully slow when updating apps, laggy in stock apps such as gallery (opening the gallery), music player (loading the application), camera ( switching still picture to video).

At times, even unlocking lock screen is laggy.

My definition of laggy may be different from u guys. If compared to blackberry storm, it's still fast. However comparing it to when it was gb, it's slower.

Btw, using stock ROM, rooted but no tweaks.. Rooted to use tibu.

Not using much widgets, only the contacts widget, Calendar widget and the system widget where i can easily toggle on and off my wifi and blue tooth.

Using still image as wallpaper, no live wallpapers. No much background apps, except avast antivirus, whatsapp, naver line.

Sent from my Motorola Razr XT910 on ICS 4.0
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Hmmm.. i'm confused, i mean, some guys say it is fast, some say it's slower.. Well, with my own experience on demo booth, the interface is quite fast, but as always, anything without user apps is definitely fast..

@vash_h: if you're on clean state after FDR, is it still laggy for you?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] monkteo:
Oh yes, when I'm with friends and using phone on vacation (androidele) after 2 days my battery still has power .

[Motorola Droid RAZR] traitor123:
Razr Maxx Amazing

I use Razr Maxx AsiaRetail (India) bought 2 months ago. I have rooted my phone on ICS 4.0.4 using eternityproject's EasyRootICS 1.5. I use chefs freezer to feeze all motorola bloatware (citrix receiver, smart actions, gallery, music, motocast, bejeweled game...basically everything i did not need). I use andoid assistant (18-in-one) to clear cache and kill any open apps (easy widgets available, as well as an ignore list so that you don't kill the apps that you need like gmail or whatsapp). The phone runs smoothly on ICS without any battery extender or overclocking script. I use Google Play Music for Music, Gallery JB+ for Gallery (AWESOME) and MX Player for Videos (AWESOME AGAIN!!!). I am on wi-fi one quarters of a day and constantly on calls (2G + 3G - Only for data, But mostly 2G). The phone runs 2 days on my average usage. (3-4 hours screentime, 8 hours+ calls and about 3-4 hours of wifi - see my screenshots). This phone is purely on usage basis. If you are interested in development section (MIUI, CM10 and other roms) this phone is not for you. I tried MIUI, did not give me a good battery life (about 60% when compared to stock rom - with frozen bloatware). I haven't tried any JellyBean based roms due to its few bugs. Given my usage, i am going to stick to this phone for atleast 2 years. :) I am extremely happy with my choice. I would recommend it to any stranger that passes by for example, I wouldn't have bothered to write such a long post but I did! :) think on it.

P.S.: that little bit charging in the screenshots you see is due to me transferring songs to my phone using data cable.4-5 mins maximum. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
He3.. Seems like you are really enjoying your phone :) so want this phone now X)

I am not a ROM junkies fortunately, as long as it is smooth riding and has quick toggles on status bar, then i'm all for it :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] d.casper.b:
I am also preparing to get the RAZR Maxx end of the year when my current provider's contract ends (then I can switch to the provider that has the RAZR Maxx and keep my number). I saw the RAZR on a good deal, but it looks like the phone is no longer available in South Africa. But the MAXX is a better option anyway. Hope my country has the ICS update! Although would love to use Cyanogenmod - which I'm currently using on my Milestone (but I could probably stick to stock for a while anyway before going custom).

Almost fell for the Huawei Ascend P1, but I hate the camera's bulge, and it's not really much of a better phone compared to the RAZR Maxx.

Now RAZR (Maxx) HD would be awesome, but I also don't know if we'll get it here.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
Well, this phone has a good hardware. In deed, stock rom is a bit slow, but with some modifications you will have a really fast phone. Not to talk about custom roms... Great signal, design and feeling using it :)

I'm sure that it will be a great device after an year
[Motorola Droid RAZR] traitor123:
i haven't noticed any slowness...maybe a little lag when installing or uninstalling an app. thats it. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] badger_8007:
In my personal opinion this phone is very good, I own one with ICS stock ROM and so far I am extremely happy with it, I have managed to make 4 days without recharging, with occasional Wi-Fi and 3G use (couple hours a day), and about 6 1/2 hours of screen use. As for the lag issues other people reports, I only can say it lags when installing apps, and with some demanding games. Apart from that is a smooth experience.

I highly recommend it!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hansip87:
Umm, So it lags like stuttering when installing/updating app and you do something else? or the phone seems to stop for a while on installing/updating app? Well my single core experience with my Xperia tells me that this kind of lag is common though. or is it I/O bottleneck i guess?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have yet to get ICS working "as intended" due to the fact that HTC has yet to produce it. Sure there was a leak, but it's unfinished, and while the community tries their hardest to get it up to speed, only HTC can actually deliver us a proper rom since they designed the dang thing. That being said, I remember Gingerbread took forever to come out, however from the looks of things HTC has in fact released GB on their own. Does this mean that GB roms are currently "solved"? By that I mean they are basically bug free (less any bugs the community introduces from mucking around with the rom). Basically, all features work as advertised under GB, but are often broke in ICS? Things such as data drops, camcorder, tethering, etc.
