I dont know if its XPERIA PLAY OPTIMIZED

Its available for 4usd (half price) , looks a bit different than the other Kemco games. It doesnt say anywhere that its optimized

Thanks to www.droidgamers.com for the news

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
It

IS

Xperia Play Optimized. Does not show up in the launcher though.

I definitely appreciate all the high-scoring retro-new-school blend RPGs that Kemco's droppin' on us... but hot damn! - I'm just now beating Dark Gate, and barely scratched the surface of Knight of the Earthends... and with the holidays getting closer and closer, we have less delay before Symphony of Origin hits.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Just bought it. Still working on Knightend. And still have as of yet really gotten into dark gate yet. Going to be a good ride before I get caught up. Thank you drivenby and kemco

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bolibo:
After installing JB on Rogers Infuse 4G all mp4, avi video is unplayable, too choppy and stuttering. Works perfect on GB roms. Was looking around and could not find a fix for it (something to do with memory usage? as per Galaxy S forum). Any ideas?

SOLVED..

after reflashing a few other roms -> one has to remove external sd during flash, this seems to fix playback (flash and mx player etc.) problems. Thanx all for help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daemonlmrj:
Any Custom Rom <> stock GB have choppy video is a bug sorry, try another ROM.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Just a swag - have you tried putting the video on your internal memory instead of external sd?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bolibo:
I usually play streaming video (eg. TV series online). Any custom GB rom I tried has perfect picture, any ICS or JB rom is unwatchable. Could somebody suggest a JB rom that has verified good video playback on Infuse?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I have never had a problem watching videos on any GB/ICS/JB ROM...video playback has always been flawless whether it was a YouTube video or streaming from another site...or a downloaded HD movie...they've all played flawlessly....now videos I record while on JB/ICS that's I different story...but everyone knows about that...

If you don't mind...can you link me to a video you find unplayable on jb? I'm curious as to see if my infuse will play it...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bolibo:
Any video on watchseries.eu will be impossible to watch. Which jb rom do you use?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] megazeroxuxm:
Ok so hopefully clears this up. For movies that you download, you can get mx player from the app store, that thing plays EVERYTHING. and flawlessly too. so there get that. If u want to watchseries.eu or online streaming sites, u need flash player, so download this guy http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705503 and get version 3.0.3 This version contain flash player, which u'll need to watch stuff like that and yourtvseri.es etc.

For recording, just use 480p, cause 720p is broken on jb. good luck dude.

If you have any questions regarding the durability of the Surface Read this (Pics included):

I saw this on Twitter and thought it was too good to be true.

If you read the comments at the bottom, it sounds like MS is aware of this story and there have been a few others like it where the Surface has survived some amazing mishaps

Thought I would share. .

I guess I can stop worrying about setting anything on my surface (I am overly cautious) - Maybe I can even take the screen protector offf now that I wasn't able to put on very well (I hate installing those things).
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Magnesium is a pretty strong metal. Looks like MS made a great choice for the outer skin of the Surface; it looks good, feels good, and is apparently incredibly durable!

Glass is going to be more vulnerable to sharp impacts, but I wouldn't be too worries about scratches in it. Depending on why you put on that screen protector, it may really not be important.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
I need to a Nandroid Restore on my phone. It's currently running CM9RC2 with Semaphore ICS 1.3 and CWM6. The backup was taken from a Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock ROM (although I can't remember which exactly) with Semaphore 2.7.4 and CWM5

So what do I need to do to successfully restore without messing anything up? Do I need to reflash back to stock ROM, or can I just run the restore as it is and it'll put everything back to how it was?

You can't use different CWM to restore your nand I would suggest Odin back to stock re-root and make sure you add the same CWM recovery so you can update to 2.3.6 then after boot go back in recovery wipe and all the usual and then restore your back up :cool:

[General Questions and Answers] Spycken:
Hi everybody,

I recently dropped my phone (HTC Sensation) and here is a list of the different things which happened since then:

My back camera doesn't work anymore (the original app closes when I launch it)

My front camera works with green lines in the middle of the screen

My battery dies pretty quickly (I loose 50% battery in 8 hours in sleep mode and plane mode without touching anything)

Unfortunately my warranty stopped few weeks ago and I don't know if I could find someone skilled enough to fix my issues in a phone shop.

So I have few questions:

Is there a way to diagnosis if my back camera is really dead? If it is dead, should I try to change it myself or is it risky?

Is there a way to fix the green lines issue on my front camera?

Regarding the battery, the power app says that its health is good (and I used an other battery and the result is the same) so it is probably not a battery problem. I also hard reset my phone, it didn't resolve the problem. So do you know if it would be possible to diagnosis the phone and find out where the probleme comes from? Or is it definitely a hardware problem and should I accept it and change the kernel (underclock the processors, lower the voltage) and find a customized ROM to save more battery? If yes, do you have any advice or combo for me?

Thank you guys for your help :)

Does anyone know if is there anyway to buy an unlocked lumia 920 here in Canada?

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Expansys.ca offers several unlocked Lumia 920's at various prices. I am trying to determine if there will be any problems if I order the AT&T unlocked version.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Aren't the Rogers ones supposedly unlocked?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Apparently the initial batch were in fact unlocked. However that may have been an oversight? The Rogers 920 "launch" was today, and new phones could be locked. In any event, when they did have an unlocked 920 in Calgary here they wouldn't sell it to me without signing up to a plan :(
[Nokia Lumia 920] denispage:
I've been in 3 strores. There is no Lumia 920 model yet, and they said that will be locked only for Rogers.
[Nokia Lumia 920] denispage:
I have a contact in Expansys. I've sent an email asking the availability here.

I could buy one locked from Rogers (they said that will receive the shipments tomorrow), and try to get an unlock code.

With Lumia 900, was easy to unlock Rogers lumia phones. Maybe the 920 will follow the same path.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Let me know how that works out. I didn't think Rogers was selling them without a monthly plan. I've emailed expansys as well...
[Nokia Lumia 920] spincel:
A guy said that $599 for a phone off contract plus 50 for unlock and then tax.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
You might as well sign up for a monthly plan and then cancel the next day. The typical difference between a hardware purchase vs month to month purchase is $50 (h/w purchase costs more). Sign up for the cheapest plan ($27) and you'll still be ahead.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Dunno what about the AT&T Lumia 920 from Expansys? It is also available in *gasp* color! $654 unlocked right now...
[Nokia Lumia 920] geoken:
As a rule of thumb assume that the people in the store have no idea what they're talking about.

When the initial batch was released I went looking for one in the Rogers store; the woman in the store repeatedly told me it was locked and reports to the contrary were incorrect.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Don't think there is an unlock code available for the AT&T 920 as yet, is there?

The other option is to pick up one from Clove in the UK. About $630 for the unlocked white version. Add shipping, GST/PST/HST and brokerage to that and you are probably looking at close to the $750 mark.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
Expansys only sells unlocked phones. Also, Negri has the AT&T 920 up for pre-order as well. Of course, MMS and tethering could be a problem with an unlocked AT&T device on someone else's network. Grrrr I really wish Nokia had a clue. Great phone but it is almost as if they are deliberately trying to anger early adopters and enthusiasts, especially here in Canada.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Wow! Expansys Canada is asking $800 for an unlocked, white 920. As for Negri, all of the AT&T will be locked and presumably will be difficult to get unlock codes for a few months. The only option is Rogers (and hope it's unlocked) or Clove (and pay the premium price).
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nebulaeus:
So Expansys is selling the AT&T phones locked for $654.99? Are you sure. What would be the point? The more I think about this the more I am starting to despise Nokia...
[Nokia Lumia 920] denispage:
I'll try to buy one from Rogers and test a kodoo sim card. Working, I'll keep, if not I'll return.
[Nokia Lumia 920] geoken:
If you end up doing that, try to also do a manual network scan and see if Wind shows up.
[Nokia Lumia 920] jeromel:
Wow, I'm feeling really lucky now. I bought mine from Rogers unlocked. The kicker was that someone bought it before me and then returned it. So I was able to buy it without a contract and also for 50% off. So that's $300 for an unlocked Rogers phone then brought it to Telus who currently have a deal going on where if you bring in an unlocked phone they give you $100 credit. So, all in all, the phone had cost me $200. SCORE! Chances are... I'm probably going to get coal for Christmas, now. lol
[Nokia Lumia 920] hawc1506:
I'd give you used coal.

Yes I'm jelly, but congrats! :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] spincel:
Is the device from the early batch?
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
I didn't think the APN settings were on the SIM card. I thought the phone provisioned itself with the settings based on the carrier - i.e. the phone came with settings for certain carriers. In the case of the Rogers 920, it had the settings for Rogers & Fido and if you put it one of those SIMs, it would set the APN settings correctly.

Either way, if what the Telus agent says is true and that Telus requires two APN's (one for data & one for tethering) to work, then there must be a place to set this on WP8 (even if it is hidden from end users). Else the Samsung ATIV would not work on Telus.

I may be wrong in my assessment, but following the information provided by the Telus agent would lead to this conclusion.
[Nokia Lumia 920] richhy:
I do have some potentially good news that I'm a little reluctant to post about until I've have more time testing it.

I was able to get tethering working again by doing the foreign keyboard trick Chilly2112 posted about a few pages back. The first time I did this it only worked for about 30 mins and then I wasn't able to get it working again. but I tried again after doing a factory reset on my phone and I've been Tethering for about 4 hours today no problems.

Basically what I did is:

1) Factory reset by going to Settings -> About -> reset your phone

2) I set up my internet APN to get data working as follows:

APN: sp.telus.com

Proxy server (URL) 74.49.0.18

Proxy port: 80

IP type: IPv4v6

everything else blank

3) Added a foreign keyboard (I chose Portuguese) by going to Settings -> Keyboard -> + add keyboards

4) Changed my internet APN to:

APN: isp.telus.com

Proxy server (URL) 74.49.0.18

Proxy port: 80

IP type: IPv4v6

And huraa! Internet Sharing mysteriously starting working.

Now I can't stress this enough, this method has been flaky at best. Works for some, doesn't work for others. And it has the tendency to stop working for those who get it working. Both Chilly2112 and I have had moderate success with this.

That's my assumption as well.
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
Great news! Keep us updated about your progress...
[Nokia Lumia 920] Lethbridge:
I tried what you said but without resetting my phone.

My APN was already on sp.telus.com, so I installed the Portuguese keyboard, let it install and when it was done, I changed the APN to isp.telus.com, and hit save. I did not reset the phone and tried internet sharing and it is working. I am actually posting this from my Surface tablet connected only through my Lumia 920.

Not sure why it worked this time but I am glad it did.

Huge thanks to richhy!!

[Nokia Lumia 920] cao0215:

[Nokia Lumia 920] richhy:
As I suspected my data stopped working again. It worked for about 6 hours then died. Had to go back to sp.telus.com to get data back. and tethering wont work with that APN. *sigh*

Unbranded

I heard unbranded versions of lumia 920 are arriving by thanksgiving (American). I think Negri has them already but I would like to avoid buying internationally. Is it worth it to wait, pay ~$100 more and not deal with this MMS and Tethering BS Rogers is putting us though with their ****ty ROM? Will it be risky to flash the Rogers version with an unbranded rom. I heard some Lumia 920s getting bricked just from factory reset. If anyone hears of unbranded ones being sold in Canada, please post.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Lethbridge:
I am finding now that Internet Sharing is working more often than not now, and when I do get the no cellular data message, I just go back to Edit Internet APN, change the APN back to sp.telus.com, hit save, then go back and change it back to isp.telus.com and hit save again.

When I go back to Internet Sharing it starts working again.

I don't do any phone resets in between steps either.

This isn't ideal but for now I'll take it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Vitusya:
Just got Lumia 920 today in Calgary as my husband's Christmas gift ... was fortunate to pay $600 plus tax outright without a Rogers contract. Some places were giving it away for free with a three-year contract - but no stock in those locations. Looking forward to the news on how to unlock the thing. Not urgent for me - can wait until Christmas :).
[Nokia Lumia 920] SomethingMore:
Mind if I ask where you bought it outright? Remember who the salesman/woman was? I'm in Calgary, too. Everywhere I've went either didn't have it, or wouldn't sell it outright. PM me if you don't want to post the specific details here. Cheers!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Vitusya:
Just sent you a private message ... good luck :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] BfA:
Just a reminder that when looking to buy at Negri or GSM Nation you probably will be out of luck at least for Telus users, as Telus uses the 1700/2100 LTE bands and only the AT&T model supports the 1700 band. You can get the other model, however, I'm not sure how LTE would work with only 2100 supported. I guess it would depend what towers around you run on.

What you need to ask for is the Nokia Lumia 910 RM-820 model.

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - RM-821, RM-820

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - RM-821, RM-820

4G Network	LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - RM-821

LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100 - RM-820 (AT&T)

Unfortunately, I don't think anyone other than AT&T would be buying the RM-820 and most re-sellers will be selling the RM-821. Bell should be safe as they use 2600 from what I can see. Not sure if they share LTE towers with Telus though.

The launch of 4G+ over 1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum is the first stage in the upgrade to LTE.

http://about.telus.com/community/en...og/2011/04/06/telus-to-deploy-4g-wireless-lte

http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html
[Nokia Lumia 920] spincel:
You wrong about the phone. At this point, it is confirm that Roger model or dev model have LTE 1700/2100 or AWS band. The only variant that does not have is the international from Nokia. However, few days ago, Nokia launched 920 on several countries in Africa and Asia and all of the phone from these area have pentaband HSPA+ and all the bands for LTE, so maybe someone will figure how to flash different firmware to enable all the bands.
[Nokia Lumia 920] BfA:
I'm *NOT* wrong. I'm just trying to warn people to watch what model they buy if they're on Telus otherwise LTE might not work.

If you look at what I wrote you can deduce that the Rogers model is the RM-820 since it comes with the 1700/2100 band and since they would get a better price by buying the same model in the large quantities that AT&T is. The pentaband model you're probably thinking about is th RM-821 since it has the five bands of LTE. I think you maybe talking about 3G pentaband and not LTE, that's a big difference as having the 3G pentaband will allow the phone to work on WIND / Moblicity I believe.

Unless you can provide a link or proof showing that there's a third 920 model with 700 / 800 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 LTE? I don't believe there's any phone out there that has all of these even? Even the iPhone comes in three different models, you can see the GSM A1428 variant that is for AT&T:

LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100 - GSM A1428

LTE 850 / 1800 / 2100 - GSM A1429

LTE 700 / 850 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 - CDMA A1429

As for the dev model, well I'm not sure about that. I think the first batch of 920's Rogers got was a one time thing and I'd bet it was the RM-820 version.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Lethbridge:
Full disclosure first. I really know nothing about the different bands that you guys are mentioning.

What I do know, I picked up my 920 from Rogers on November 7th, it came unlocked already so I guess that would be considered the dev version, and I get LTE speeds without a problem.

Don't know if this helps anybody, just adding it here.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ile2010:

[Nokia Lumia 920] rsxy:
I've purchased 2 920's, the first was from a Rogers Plus store along with the $27/mo plan and the 2nd was from the Oakridge Microsoft pop-up store in Vancouver. I called Rogers the same afternoon and they unlocked the one from Rogers Plus for $50, however I've been unsuccessful in unlocking the Microsoft store one (build 45/2012). Has anyone received unlock codes from Cellunlocker.net for a week 45 phone in the last few days?
[Nokia Lumia 920] rajeshr:
I tried to unlock my 45/2012 Rogers 920 again a couple of days ago using Cellunlocker.net, but did not succeed. I guess I'll call Rogers to get it unlocked as I'm traveling at the end of next week and will need it unlocked by then.
[Nokia Lumia 920] richhy:
So I called Nokia. The rep spent a couple minutes trying to troubleshoot the Internet Sharing issue (basics like setting my APN, factory reset, etc.) then said that Rogers may be blocking these features at a software level and I should call them for support. I pushed back quite a bit hoping that they help investigate the issue more but he wouldn't do anything except try to pass the problem over to Rogers.

This is basically the response I expected. I tried to insist that this is a Nokia Phone and should be a Nokia supported problem but he didn't want to help.

So I called Rogers and they refused to help me because I'm not their customer (big surprise!). So I called in again impersonating my friend to try and get help. Was transferred all around and finally got to someone in the unlocking department who said that it's quite common that exclusive devices have features blocked from working with other carriers, even when unlocked. The only thing unlocking guarantees is basic features like Voice and Text msgs. They also said there is nothing they can do about it.

The rep recommended some Nokia OVI Suite software that I'll try out when I get home. But the Lumia 920 is not a device on that software's supported devices list.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Lethbridge:
It is definitely very hit or miss.

I had it working pretty solidly for awhile, if it stopped working I would just change the apn back to sp.telus.com, hit save, then right away change it to isp.telus.com and it would work again.

Then my phone locked up and rebooted on it's own and I couldn't get it to work again no matter what I tried.

Just now I went back and changed the apn to isp.telus.com and it's working again. It wouldn't work for about 5 days straight, now it is fine again.

I have notice 1 other thing which is kind of odd, I did a reset of my phone about 10 days ago when I was really trying to get this to work. Before I did the reset, the settings screen showed Telus under Mobile Network. But since I've done the reset, Telus is listed under Cellular.

Nothing else has changed except for the setting name.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Lethbridge:
Here's a screenshot to show what I mean.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tai4de2:
Something is really odd in this whole tethering thing. I've seen lots of speculation that Rogers "did something in their ROM" to disable tethering on any other networks, etc etc.

Yet I am using a Rogers variant 920 on T-Mobile USA and tethering works and has always worked since the day I got the phone.

I know that doesn't help you folks trying to use it on Telus. I hope you find a solution.
