[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
Yeah ! And they are available to the 5000 who bought the phone unlocked... has they could be available to the 500000 who have the phone.

You still don't understand ?

Simple example, if hackable and rom development was easy we would have a community of much more people, more would test and donate... and that would be more interesting for devs.<

But really... i'me trying to explain this to someone who thinks that because it is the author of the thread no one can have a different opinion...

My respect goes for DEVS, not for some ranking that means absolutelly nothing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Why do you think that the ROM present in other phone's forum are better than ours?

You can find in their threads, they have issues too and you will find people complaining about the ROM.

The roms which are not having issues are also modification of stock rom.

Why dont you get this?

If there are more developers or more people present in other forum that doesnt mean we have a bad forum...

You said one more line that "more would test and donate and that will attract developers."

I want to mind you one thing that developers dont work for donations ,they do coz they enjoy it .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] youngaviator:
Some of devs even dont have device to test their work.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
More devs, more possibilities. He has locked bootloader and he can't install any of these roms that you mentioned few posts earlier.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S7relok:
Nexus series are more hackable.

But I love Xperia S. Unique look and a good possibility of hacks if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
Never wrote that we have a bad forum or a bad phone, so please read my replys before putting words in my mouth.

And also never said Devs work for donations, wich does not mean that more users and mores donations are not much more interesting for devs.

Why make a ROM for 10 phone, if I could make one for 10000 ?!

Once again, because you have problems reading:

- XPERIA S IS A GREAT PHONE

- OUR DEVS ARE GOOD... BUT FEW

- OUR COMMUNITY IS VERY SMALL BECAUSE OF UNLOCKING BL ALLOWANCE

And so, Xperia S will never get my vote on that ranking. It is cleary not the most hackable phone... starting on the Unlocking of the Bootloader !!!

Its quite simple to get: you want to call most hackable to a phone that we can't even get the first step of the process.

And this was my last post on your "kingdom".

You can stick up with your petition and your ranking... getting back to the first post: Writting in bold and saying "don't reply if you don't agree, because I'm the owner"... does not makes it true !

Best Regards
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] IROC_69:
if it is the competition for the best looking phone xperia s will win no doubt about that.

but most hack-able come on my xperia x8 and xperia x10 were more hackable then my xperia s

xperia x8 had so many kernels they performed really well

so many good roms

i find a bit difficult to mod my XS
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:

You can easily gain root access and install cwm even with locked bootloader .

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
I am completely happy with my developers ..we have enough developers who can compile and run any rom on our beloved xperia s.

And i have no personal war against you...so peace!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leonbarroso:
there are at least 5 phones more hackable than this one

galaxy s2 , s3 , HTC one X , Galaxy Nexus ...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Leaving galaxy nexus..

Why the others are not selected by xda??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
Yes it can also be rooted if you flash xtx7 ..the instructions are given in the thread's page ..Read before you post..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] borgsta:
that would be a workaround which he already mentioned. XS is no where near the most hackable.

My SGS1 was more hackable. As was the original Desire.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
If you feel that's work around then you are not fit for xda...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BoSib:
I have a HTC Desire and a XS and all I can say is that with the Desire I can pretty much throw anything at it, not so with the XS!

So no, it´s not the most hackable phone unfortunately (yet)

And op, you seem to have an attitude problem mr.Sir, cultural differences perhaps but acting like a thread dictator isn´t going to win you any followers..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cabi.costa:
Same here, with my old htc desire everything is possibile, with my sxs it's not really the same thing... But I hope that in the future things will change, it's a great phone that deserves more in terms of modding/hacking/development
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guildamx:
Well, HTC's phones usually have Sense and Sense-less roms. This makes a big difference when you say "everything is possible".

Obviously with the XS there will never be a Sense rom.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
I guess I need to change the title to get some more votes ...what u say ??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krabappel2548:
I'd say you need to be more friendly. XDA is a FORUM, a COMMUNITY to share work and help other members.

You were not friendly at all to ntdrl, one needs to respect someones opinion. If you make a thread it doesn't mean that you can tell people what to write or what not to write.

I've had more experiences with cases of very unfriendly members since I am here and some even got banned. So please don't be one of those people.

I have no personal issue with you, just want to let you know the issues with some members attitude on XDA lately...

And I'm a dev here, but I didn't voted fot the XS either. I just don't have a Nexus so I'd rather not vote because I don't care which one wins :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] borgsta:
That is a workaround. A workaround doesn't mean something is difficult, it means it doesn't work "out of the box" / instantly.

It sounds like you are not fit for logical and rational conversation to be honest so I will sit out of this thread now.

Good to see a few peeps agree with the Desire being plenty more hackable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iamthad:
The Xperia S is a phone that I absolutely adore... But it is not friendly as the nexus devices... Apart from the nexus devices I think this can be considered because of the support Sony (which has rightly been conferred OEM of the year) has been providing the developers... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
How about a petition to crack the locked bootloader in every xperia?!?

That would be be hackable and would really mean something... not a ranking that does not mean absolutely anything...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
Yesterday I used fast charge to charge one of two batteries to 100%, and charge other battery with wall charge.

Today, basically same usage, read electric book , wall charger charged battery last about 4 or 5 hours, then I replace it with the battery charged by fast charge, suddenly.... 25% drain after 30 minutes...

So I start to think that fast charge isn't really make battery up to 1800 mAh or what?

Because it's kinda ridiculous that 30 minutes drain 25% battery with only reading electric book, I suspect even play 3d game or 3G network browsing could drain that kind much juices in 30 minutes ...

I don't think it relates to ROM or something like that, because when I use these 2 batteries in same environment, didn't do anything, except shutdown, replace battery and boot...

Any theory?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
All fast charge does is allow a full amp from a USB cable (normally limited to half an amp from USB). The battery doesn't care if that amp comes from a USB cable or a wall charger, so no, it doesn't die faster based on a charging method.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
But still curious that why my wall charger charged battery lasts 4,5 hours but fast charge charged battery drain 25% in 30 minutes which would only last like 2 hours in same usage....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Actually duplicating usage is nearly impossible. There could have been instances of lower signal, which chews on battery. There could have been a rogue background process that was chewing on the battery. There could be one of a thousand things that changed how your phone went through your battery.

The only argument for fast charge being the culprit would be an argument of a full amp vs a half amp charge. Some might argue that the half amp slower charge could lead to a better tuned battery, but I'm no electrical engineer, so I don't know if there's logic for or against that argument. However, if you're using a full amp wall charger, your battery won't find a difference between the amp from the wall or the amp from USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eng.stk:
That's true, slow charge improves in fact battry drainage. It is true fir my GNex and the 3 other Android phones I got before. I don't use my wall charger anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
You're contradicting yourself, i'm afraid.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
Impossible yes, I know, but still, it shouldn't be that much different as first battery lasts 4,5 hours and second only about 2 hours....

And I didn't do anything like change setting, install new app or kill background process, as i said before, it might have some different, but shouldn't be that much
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyvram1:
I'm next to skype..yeah i know..but just never had a device that supported it or need for it until my nexus 4.

Now that I've installed it, it seems to be 'on' all the time. Is this going to kill my battery? Should I kill it with a task manager except when using it? Leave it in 'offline' mode?

What are other people noticing with regards to skype and battery life? I've done some quick googling which leads me to believe it might be a battery hog.

If so i'm killing it..i don't need it that bad but would like to play with it if its not going to drain the battery when running all the time in the background.

[Nokia Lumia 920] cjlawson23:
I really am enjoying my Nokia Lumia 920. I am coming from a Galaxy S II.

My biggest complaint however is the web browser.

Areas i find it lacking:

1. No true forward and back buttons.

2. No word wrapping. Ex: If you view XDA on the phone when you zoom in on text you have to scroll left to right.

3. Mobile versions of sites don't always show up.

I have tried the following browsers:

1. UC Browser - Solves the problems of word wrapping. However it seems to load very different versions of websites.

2. User Agent Switcher. Has problems 1 & 2.

I would like to use this thread for people to post possible solutions or reviews of other alternative browsers.

[Nokia Lumia 920] americasteam:
Doesn't work if you've jumped back into the browser from the home screen. Right now, adding front and back shortcuts to your favorites is the only way to have a proper forward and back within the browser.
[Nokia Lumia 920] irockash:
If you jump back to the home screen, then hold down the back button to switch over from running apps, the back key does work. Its a different paradigm: I think Windows wants to use the task manager more than opening a new instance. I'm still getting used to it, myself.
[Nokia Lumia 920] geddeeee:
UC Browser...

It's free, quick and has back and forward buttons.

Find it on the marketplace.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Assassin5150:
Surfcube works well but no forward button.
[Nokia Lumia 920] blackreality:
Well the browser needs to enable tabbed browing.. When u visit certain pages you get auto forwarded to adsites and even by hitting the back button is of no use. One ex is way2sms.com this sites opens an adsite and windows phone does not open this in a separate TAB and also there is no way to going to the original site by any means. This is really annoying when i really want to message someone urgently
[Nokia Lumia 920] University of Pi:
True but something that syncs bookmarks could be done relatively easily

There were and are still ones for android that use drive (chromemarks i think)

True chrome wont come anytime soon but a chrome like browser would satisfy many
[Nokia Lumia 920] peter56:
Have you tried Nokia Xpress?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nocturnal310:
you are right.

just like contacts, there should be an option to sync favorites/bookmarks to outlook.com account.

and ability to import all from google account as well.

i have left most of the google services and hope they can do something about browser bookmark syncing.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesrm:
Unfortunately neither Google nor Mozilla will let their Chrome and Firefox browsers come to WP8 (I know of one major company which would have switched to WP8 if Chrome had become available as they have several apps-extensions for Chrome, so they'll stick with Android in spite of security concerns). Google is already touchy about the YouTube application. One browser that I like is nextBrowser.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gee2012:
I`am running UC Browser on my 920 and its running well so far. Many options and user friendly.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesrm:
I have it too, but note that the Nokia Browser (ok, not many options) with its pre-fetch servers (à la Skyfire) is quite fast on many sites, and since the Amber update IE10 has got better with faster and better processing of html5. But my preferred browser remains nextBrowser in spite of a few idiosyncrasies. But of course this is in part a matter of personal opinion: there is no all-out winner.
[HTC One X+] sue2703:
I have a new HOX+ which I want to sync via USB / MyPhone Explorer with my PC under Windows XP.

In order to sync, USB connection should be set to 'charging only' and 'USB debugging mode'. The latter is no problem the first one seems to be - I cannot find this option anywhere.

The result, if this is the cause, is that my device is not recognized.

The HOX+ is bootunlocked and rooted (using the Bootroot method described by shubhamchamaria -> thanks for your work, mate!). At first, I could sync the contacts but received an error message on the calendar, plus I couldn't create any calendar entries on the HOX+. Then I did a factory reset. After this, bootunlock and root remained, and I can now create calendar entries, but the phone is no longer recognized by the PC.

If anyone can help, this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, I have huge battery drain on my XS. I tried to disable/uninstall everything that can eat battery too much. Unfortunately it still consume too much and the mobile is always active, even at night with plane mode on, wifi/BT off, no widget, no sync, etc.

Also tried to freeze "com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup" but without result.

I have read that Fast Dormancy can cause drain if network hasn't FD enabled while it's enabled on the phone (source : http://www.androidnz.net/2012/06/at-your-own-risk-how-to-disable-fast.html).

My question is how can we check if carrier has it enabled or not ?

Don't know about the fast Dormancy but have you tried disabling locations? 'Setting/location' coz they are always polling and keeping the phone awake..

Just bought

From Ebay

Trader was called chargifi

shop is http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CharGifi?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

Its a two piece system but is very rugged and protects the corners which is where you want it or I do anyway. It also is a bit more raised up than other covers so protects the front if you put it face down on a uneven surface.

Yes its a bit bulky but then again why would you put a thin cover on a £500 Phone.

Its only £3.39 and free postage so you aint going to lose a lot if you don't like it.

Takes 24 Business days to the UK but worth it IMHO

I am not connected with the seller in any way shape or form. Just trying to help out our brill XDA community

This is a simple and stock image BLACKED OUT theme..Meant for people that want Inverted apps but don't wanna keep flashing zips.. It's all stock images besides backgrounds... I did not just make 2 images in drawable folders black and say that this is an inverted theme tho! I got the code done so that many apps are now Black...

I'll do my best to fix it ASAP...

This is meant for stock roms with stock gapps.. if you're using anything other than that and there are issues, I doubt I'll fix it.. considering you're already using a "Inverted" set up so there was really no need to install this theme.. Some areas are still out of the hands of the theme chooser but once 4.2 is more official and settled in, I'll make new Gapps zips for Blacked Out, Stock with needed edits for all theme chooser themes and for CeeThroo.. my transparent theme.

THIS IS ONLY FOR JELLY BEAN ROMS... ICS MIGHT HAVE ISSUES AND YOU'LL HAVE TO RESTORE BUT THE STANDARD DISCLAIMER APPLIES REGARDLESS...
