[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovelygaaz:
usb flash mode must be done imediately after .....

Dear

please pay attention to this guide.

i think you can not turn off your phone by power key while Sony Ericsson logo appears and you must remove the cover and take the battery out.is it ok?

for flashing by flash tools, start it and go ahead till it asks you to connect your phone in flash mode.

remove your phone cover and then battery .put the battery and then imadiately push the back key and connect usb cable.hold down the back key till the flashing starts.all must be done within 5 second.

recommendation:

1-flashtools version:x10 flashing tool version 0.6.9.1 built 2012-04-09

2-PCC

3-rom X8_2.1.1.C.0.0._un_2

4-X8_drivers_2

5-x8win

if the problem remains,let me know the flashtool messege.

if the problem remains,let me know the flashtool messege. or you`d better to use Sony Ericsson Update Engine.

This annoys the hell out of me. Why does the music player startup everytime I connect via bluetooth in my car? Is there any way to stop this short of deleting the stock player?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stewartsoda:
I know on the Ford I rented with Sync, there was an "Auto-play" setting that you could turn on or off that would do that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rdenis:
Hhhm, that may explain it. This must be a Ford thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stewartsoda:
I'm pretty sure it was configurable. I didn't turn it off because I always wanted music going as soon as I turned the car on.

i'd really like to know the weight (in grams) of the entire package..so including the box Google shipped it in. Do you have a scale by any chance :D
[Nexus 10 General] Oli2k:
674 grams according to the TNT label
[Nexus 10 General] italia0101:
on the delivery note it says "total weight :0.674kg"
[Nexus 10 General] plaktoets:
Thank you both!

[Nexus 10 General] Nucking Futs!:
Regarding that boot up clip of the Transformer TF200 vs N10, not really a fair comparison unless both are fresh factory resets (or brand new, you get my point). Can you confirm?
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Nice videos, thx for your work!

I'm sure you'll do one on video playback, here are some samples for testing (most pushing the boundaries):

Screenshot of Settings--->Display Settings

It would be great if you could post the following two screenshots:

1.) A screenshot showing the version (as proof that the tablet has recieved the latest udpate)

2.) A screenshot showing the Display Settings menu. I would like to see if it has an entry for wireless display. If the entry is not there, we can conclude that it does not currently support Miracast as there is alot of speculation regarding this.

Thanks - and enjoy your new device!
[Nexus 10 General] italia0101:
neither of them are factor resets, they both have all the benchmark apps on them and a few games, but they are basically very similar in terms of apps

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
I everybody I have a Sony Ericson Xperia X10 and I am tired of it because it is to laggy. So I was tinkig about buying a new phone, and when I saw the new Nexus 4 I new that it was the e best phone for me.

The problem is that I am Portuguese, so I live in Portugal xD, and I cant buy things from the Play Store. Do you guys know any other way to buy it for the same price as in the Play Store? Like eBay or Amazon. Some place thet ships things to Portugal.

Thanks for you attention.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirkis:
prolly not gonna happen just yet. ebay is crazy, the phones are going for 500-1000 right now. if anyone buys them at that price, CRAZY! lol

just wait, maybe google will open support for your country. it takes time but if you can't wait, ebay for the crazy high prices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickmirror:
Sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear about that. D:

Right now the only cheapsies way to get it is wait for the Play Store, ebay is ridiculous overpriced. Do you know anyone in a region that can buy it for you? Whenever they get them back in stock, rumors point to possibly as early as tomorrow, but Google claims in the next couple of weeks on their google plus page.

Ebay is out of the question, they're way higher than the Play Store.

My advice is ask someone you know to buy one for you in a region that sells them, and you would likely have to pay them a bit extra to ship it to you. :\ Sorry that's all I got.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosemachinegun:
This is your best bet. However, since the phone is sold out in the playstore everywhere, it will take a while for even this option to become viable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.Diogo:
Thanks for all the replys. I have an uncle in the UK, I wll ask him about buying and stuff.

Thanks again.:good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emrdan:
There might be another way!

Hi J. Diogo,

You could try contacting a company in your country which does this kind of stuff. They give you an address from United States or any country which they ship from, so you can buy without having to travel. After Google ships to the given address and the company has received it, they ship it to brazil, then you pick it up. You may pay for weight and combustible, i'm not sure, you'll need to find it out with this company.

You'll probably need:

- A payment method accepted by Google.

- A VPN to change your IP to the country of the given address. — You'll need to check if it is legal or illegal in your country.

- The shipping address given by this company.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackguy101:
So as we all may know, the black Galaxy s 3 was recently released for Verizon. I have 2 options right now

1.) get the pebble Blue galaxy s 3 today

2.) wait about 7 days to get the black gs3

So my main question is right now is there a huge difference between the two colors? I know that in some lighting the blue actually does look black at times and as for the onyx black Galaxy s 3 I never exactly seen it in person yet. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chupafaros:
I suggest u buy the black one and ill trade u my blue one lol

But seriously, I got mine 1month ago, had I known the black one was coming I would have waited. Just my 2cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SubliminalME:
Are you going to put a case on it? If so, the blue is fine. If not, the blue looks awful purple. ;)

I like the brown...looks like wood grain to me.

My blue just looks black in the TPU case...except the volume and power buttons...those look purple. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ponyboy82:
man, i really like the brown one in pics too! i thought i was the only one.

for the OP, the blue looks really cool. however, the purple-ish home button does bother some people, and it does limit your cases a little, if you care about colors clashing. that said, i personally would go with the blue over the black, but it's your phone and you'll have to look at it all the time.

also, a lot of the time, the blue does look black, or at least a dark navy blue. it mainly pops under more direct light when you can see the graining pattern
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Yep pretty much what you said. Im fine with that purple home button look. Its just a color on a phone. People complain too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darkkterror:
I just ordered the blue one. I was thinking about getting black but then something dawned on me. Every phone I've owned has been black. Well, except the Nexus One, but that's mainly because it was made of aluminum (hence it was grey). The reason every other phone I've owned was black was because they were only offered in that color. I decided it was time for a change! Besides, blue is my favorite color anyway. Although, I'll probably end up putting a black case on it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Wow, this is why there is a choice I guess.

I probably would have gone with black if it was available at the time instead of blue, but I kinda like my blue one.

On the other hand, I think the blow lunch brown is so ugly that if that was the only color it came in I might have gone for an entirely different phone.lol

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

By The way, I have no case and a deep red Hyperion battery cover with the 4000+ extended battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Seirÿu:
is the titanium silver a myth? that one looks the best IMO...

http://images.broadbandgenie.co.uk/fckImages/products/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-new-colours.jpg

I already have the Blue one, i like it a lot, i don't really notice the "purple" home button... only time i see it is when i have my thumb over it really anyway so it's pretty well covered up. Even when using my phone i'm not looking down at the hardware buttons, i'm looking at the keyboard, picture, game, phone dial buttons, video chat, movie, etc. Only time i even really notice the color is when i'm playing music and my phone's sitting on my desk next to my kb/mouse upside down and even then, i mostly just note how many finger prints are on it rather than the color. I haven't used a case sense the original TPU case messed up my first screen protector, ever since it's been naked and hasn't a scratch on it. Pretty tough freakin' phone tbh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I was looking at the black one at the verizon store and they used the same purple home button as the blue one. That's very sad of Samsung
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gsmgeeks:
My brother owns a black samsung galaxy s3 and it has to be one of the sexiest phones in the market. He bought blue first but exchanged it with black after two days. If you put a case on your phone, the color of the phone will hardly matter. But if you intend to use it without a case, you could not do better than black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I think the blue is hideous! I'd go with black or brown. The brown looks amazing in person.

They do not use a blue home button on the black S3. You must have been looking at a blue one in bad lighting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
No sir it was the black one and I compared it against my blue one hand in hand and it was the blue button. Maybe it was a rare accident from the factory
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Possibly because I was jealous over my friends black GS3 and I would have definitely noticed that. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] spotmark:
Personally, I like the blue. I would actually call it, slate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Arun01:
I just received the black one from amazon. It looks great. Why does the screen dim every time I get on the Internet or watch a video. Is there a way to turn that off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Do you have power save turned on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
Uncheck background color in power save
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Arun01:
I figured it out. You have to pull up settings in the Internet & uncheck auto brightness. Same for videos too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] justin94:
Go with the white. Khomo makes a black rubberized battery cover that looks absolutely amazing with the white from and silver trim. I'll put a pic up in a little bit to show you. The blue one has a semi little color blue on the side... Just my 2cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Finally a device is released with a decent color and folks want to take a step back to plain jane black or **** knuckle brown?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Волк:
Thanks for the info. I won't be able to do the research until the weekend, but in searching for windows 8 (non-Microsoft) themes, I found info on a program (I hate that all of a sudden all programs are being called 'apps') which lets you take (for real) ownership if system files. The info where I ran into it's usage was because Windows 7 and 8 need either hacked system files (guess having a hacked 7 with legit license was a great idea) or a special program to load a custom theme.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Out of curiosity, what built-in apps did you find to be un-deleteable? Removing the built-in apps that I didn't use (Finance, News, etc.) was easy; just right-click or flick downward (to select the tile) then select Uninstall. Leftover files in the WindowsApps dir could be removed.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Rakeesh_j:
The built in apps that it places on the start menu when you first log in to Windows 8. It prevents you from deleting them, because then new accounts won't see the apps, and it forces them on to the start menu by default.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You can delete them from Start easily enough, if for some reason you find their presence there offensive. You can also delete the updated versions from the device. The basline (1.2) versions are, I assume, what you are complaining about... meh. If you want to bang your head against this, go ahead. I get what you're asking for now, though I really don't understand why. Besides, full-screen or not, some of the "Metro" apps are pretty good, especially a few of the games (which are frequently FS anyhow). It's worth keeping the store around for free game downloads IMO... but I think we've already established that our opinions differ on how to use Win8.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Rakeesh_j:
You're thinking of using the "uninstall" option from the start menu. That does NOT delete them, it just removes all references to them. They still reside on the hard disk and consume disk space. On my 120GB SSD on my laptop, every gig counts. Why leave them there when they are doing nothing at all? No banging your head involved, just boot up linux, rm -rf WinApps, problem solved.

Anyways, last I checked there were approximately zero AAA titles in the windows store. In fact, I've yet to see any windows app do anything that can't already be done better in a web browser. I'm not particularly impressed with solitaire collection, pinball, toy soldiers...and ooh mahjong, the game to end all games. The only one even remotely interesting is hydro thunder, in which case they ought to call it Retro instead of Metro.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] fr3quency:
You could had taken ownership of the WindowsApps folder and delete it, that's what I did.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] link68759:
Oh, so a game is only good if it has AAA backing?
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Rakeesh_j:
I tried that, even used some command line stuff that break all file locks and ensure that the current user has full control over the files. It would let you delete them, even go through and say it deleted them, but when you look in the directory again, they are still there.

No. My current favorites are both indie titles, and are not AAA. Those being Natural-Selection 2, and League of Legends.

For Google Chrome, there are MORE and BETTER games than in the Windows store, and to a lesser extent, Firefox as well. Yep, web browsers have better games than the Windows store.

Every single game in the windows store is either old or just plain crap. I played Angry Birds on a CELL PHONE over a YEAR ago. These are all casual games, not games that you sit down for a marathon session to play. If the windows store is your idea of a good place to get games, then I dare you to go to your friends and say "Hey guys, let's all go to my house and play some reversi and then some tick tack toe!" and see what kind of reaction you get. Or how about one better, ask them to bring their PC's over for a windows 8 lan party, I'm sure they'll get right on that one.

The two games I listed above are legit desktop titles. Windows 8 games are not. In fact, as I've said numerous times, there isn't a single windows store app that does anything that isn't already done better in a browser.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Rakeesh_j:
So I'm doing the ol' nuclear option of a reformat for the windows 8.1 update, and I just updated OP to include some new info I found (Maybe common knowledge at this point after 18 months of futzing around with 8? Who knows, just something I discovered on my own a few minutes ago while tinkering with powershell.)

Really neat and really clean compared to the other way.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] 441Excelsior:

[Nexus 7 General] mentose457:
Sooooo, there has been a lot of *****ing about the user profiles and how a new profile has to download and pay for apps you already own. I agree that it is stupid. Google should have done it differently and they still might. I decided to see how it worked and to see if there was a way to make the apps you already have downloaded visible to another user. After tinkering around for awhile I have found a way to do this.

EDIT: jeepguy04 has made an app that makes this super simple. The link to the app can be found on his thread HERE.

This DOES NOT work if you have restored your apps with titanium backup. I believe it has to do with where TiBu places the data on the sdcard.

Not all scenarios have been tried so your help testing and diagnosing would be appreciated.

Requirements:

- at least a half functioning brain (the more the better)

- a basic understanding of the Engrish language

- a cool beverage for those in warm climates or a warm beverage for those in cool climates

- you must be rooted

- you must have a root file explorer ( ES, Root Explorere, etc) or know how to push and pull files via adb though im not going to go over this method

Step 1:

Create a new user.

Step 2:

Use your root file explorer to navigate to /data/system/users/

This folder contains folders numbered 0 and XX. 0 is the folder for your main profile. XX (it is probably 10) is your second profile.

Step 3:

Open folder XX.

The file we are interested in is called package-restrictions.xml.

Step 4:

Open the package-restrictions.xml for editing.

When you open this up you see a long list strings like this:

stopped=”true” nl=”true” />

These correspond to the packages you have installed on your main profile. The one above obviously is for SketchBook Pro.

If i wanted this to be available on my second user I would simply delete the whole line from this file.

Step 5:

Reboot, log in to the second profile, profit.

Once you reboot you should see the app in the second profile. In my experience the app does not use the data from the main profile so your game scores etc are safe.

Let me know if this works for you.
[Nexus 7 General] unwired:
I just searched a way for sharing an installed app to my kids profile without google account and found the /data/system/users/##/package-restictions.xml file, too. I noticed if an app is installed in the profile, then there is no entry for this app in this file.

So simply deleting the whole line, e.g.

<pkg name="com.rovio.angrybirds" inst="false" />

and rebooting works. The app is now installed :D
[Nexus 7 General] mentose457:
Glad it worked for you. I will have to try it again as it didnt work when I did it the first time.

I suspect that you could disable the play store by setting <pkg name="com.android.vending" enabled="1"> to <pkg name="com.android.vending" inst="false ">

This could easily be incorporated into a ROM by one of our talented developers. If I had any idea how i would give it a try.
[Nexus 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
This is great... I'm going to use this for my daughter
[Nexus 7 General] nuzzosono:
so we need an app that enable apps for other users... :)
[Nexus 7 General] mentose457:
Yes. That is correct. I set up eclipse this afternoon to tinker around and gauge the difficulty of app building. It was quite overwhelming. I guess should have listened better in my programming class.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
If the second profile be using a G account diferent from first profile this shouldnt be target as piracy?

Just asking.
[Nexus 7 General] mentose457:
In my case I don't plan on allowing an Google account to be added to the second user. The way I see it is if its already on my device its ok. Just like other profiles on my computer can access my music and some applications. I think its more a matter of morality that legality. I don't think you would ever be busted for it.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Yeah, but i think that Google app are allowed/linked per account, isnt?

If you dont have the account than you dont have the app
[Nexus 7 General] mentose457:
If that is how you feel you don't have to participate. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
