The Story of Android. And at least we have international versions. This is worse for people who have network locked phones.

Also, there are a number of factors considered. Sony would rather push jb update on their new phones faster than work on old phones that aren't even on sale now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jokerman54:
I was recording a video and suddenly after about 11 minutes of video the phone rebooted and was stuck in the CM logo. Later when I accesed the files via my pc i could find that file with a tmp extension after .mp4. It says that the file is 946 MB. I tried to view it by renaming it without the tmp extension but still i cannot see anything. Is there any chance that I can save the file and not lose it completely.

PS: in case anyone can help this is the link to the file: dropbox.com/s/05jhxuf18rsf522/VID_20121125_023319.mp4.tmp . i would appreciate very much if someone could make it work.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:

[Gen9, Gen10 General] ArchosRocker:
Hey guys,

I know that I ask already sometimes,but it will still don't work, so please help me :x

I want to have the official SDE menu.

My firmware is 4.0.26

And I just do the steps as he says in the thread 'Official SDE menu'

1. Reformat Devie - ok

2. Install the official firmware (4.0.26) - ok

3. Go again to Recovery Menu - ok

4. Click Update Firmware - ok

5. Connect to pc - ok

6. Let it install the sde menu(http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_sde/firmware_archos_it4.aos) - UPDATE FAILED (221)

What to do guys?

Please help me :(
[Gen9, Gen10 General] TrOjAnUK:
At this time there is NO official SDE for 4.0.26

Unofficial works!

TrOjAn
[Gen9, Gen10 General] y2grae:
i thought you could use unofficial sde to downgrade.

then can you remove unofficial and install official?

just an idea
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
Just to clarify:

-4.0.2x firmware does change A LOT in all system including Recovery which makes older firmwares not compatible (read: you can't flash anything older than 4.0.2x)

-downgrade was possible after flashing a TEST firmware but as stated above- old ones won't work (if you find a 4.0.2x-test firmware you can try to downgrade)

-there is no "new" official SDE package yet, the only option to enable SDE is to use unofficial method (temp root)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] carmaz:
Hi,

I wanted to post this to the Collective ROM section but I don't have enough posts to put it there so I'm hoping the Dev's will read this. First I have to say that it is my favorite Jelly Bean ROM so far and I've tried about a half dozen on my AT&T S3. My question is, is it possible to add shutdown and reboot to the toggles they use for the notification area? I have an extended battery with a thick case and the buttons aren't easy to push. So having the shutdown and reboot like in the 15 toggle mod would be great.

Thanks

Pimp my Desire S​

I saw the boring colours of my ds for too long so I decided to bodymod it :D

BEFORE

AFTER

And a comparisation:

Moar pics:

(yep. swag is on with this one!)

HOW?!

First off, here's the imgbox gallery with all the pics in it: http://imgbox.com/g/yg5CGqBZmq

I started sanding my ds but was quite lazy to finish it. I fully sanded the paint off with grit 400, and then gave it to my dad who sandblasted the phone at his work.

The inspiration came from this dhd thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1293207, my original plan was to sand it with 400 - 800 - 1200 and then polish it so that it would get a shine. But in the end, i'm pretty happy with this result as well :)

What you could do as well is varnish the whole thing to make it more scratch-proof but I haven't tested that ;)

For painting the grilles ect you could just sand 'em up with grit 400 and then use some car paint which holds the best. :good: It looks so awesome on the camera lens :D

Tell me what you think, and I hope that I inspired you guys for some bodymodding :D

[HTC Desire S] bronx:
I have to admit, I'm really impressed. Nice job.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Looks really great. Bringing whole new life to old gray ds :)
[HTC Desire S] Dmwitz:
Very well done. It looks very professional.
[HTC Desire S] Lapanen1995:
Nice! I'm thinking for painting my phone white and then use black or red to paint the rockers etc. I think the phone would look nice cause it has several black parts(battery cover+camera cover and around the screen)
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
When properly sanded and cleaned the painting should do pretty well :D Curious how it would look. be sure to post it!

Though you need some paint that won't come off easily and let it dry properly, the paint i used earlier for my front grille didnt work out so well, but it does for my camera lens and other grille. so my tip is to buy a small can of car paint which you normally use to fix small scratches ect. holds better on slipperier surfaces:D
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
This look sweet! I bet it's bumped up the resale value quite a bit as well ;)
[HTC Desire S] bokilz:
Nice! Job!
[HTC Desire S] Lapanen1995:
Agreed! I painted my mountainbike(downhill bike) suspension fork which is made from aluminium few months back with spray paint and used primary paint, too and it went well and paint have not cracked or anything(even when small rocks etc. hits it). Lets hope that when I have the time it will work on the phone also :D
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
Hehe I'll see that when I sell it:p but not yet :)
[HTC Desire S] Asddsads98:
Just wondering, did you sand the desire s with or without taking it apart? As in, like unscrew everything, that kind of taking it apart.
[HTC Desire S] Auke11:
Of course not, the screen likes sandpaper. It likes a 3 ton truck also.
[HTC Desire S] yomama163:
I think he unscrewed the parts from the case, it's the only way you can take the case apart... Just sanding it without unscrewing the case would result into destroying your device.
[HTC Desire S] Asddsads98:
You're right! Just sanded my phone without taking it apart! Looks great! Too bad my screen protector kept me from sanding my screen...
[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Complete tear-down to properly sand everything, mod, paint, etc. IMO.
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:
I'll post one soon

Woof
[HTC Desire S] poondog:
Wow, VERY nice! I have absolutely no clue what I am doing wondering over here. I tend to lurk in other forums a lot :)

Just stopped by to say it looks awesome :D I would do it to my Incredible S but I don't think the plastic backing of my phone will like it :( The IncS has a full plastic back, only a metal front.

What colour is it actually? It looks white from some pics and silver from others lol
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 4123551:

Well it's silver - whitish like on the sensation white :P

[HTC Desire S] MatthewJoe:
Very nice job! I wish I could do that :)
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
That looks really good. My Saga is already in pretty poor shape as the paint has worn off in patches since I got it. I'm definitely going to do this. What did you do with the chrome HTC letters on the back? Did you take them off and then glue them back on or did you buy new ones?
[HTC Desire S] :
Just left them, only the h fell out now on my side :P

One thing though, only sand it. Sandblasting makes the phone way more vulnerable to dents and scratches. On the long term I'd better only have sanded it.
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
I'll remember that. Did you go with the varnish or anything in the end or did you leave it?
[HTC Desire S] :
sandblasted it and left it like that, varnish might be a good idea, try at your own risk :P
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
Okay, so I did it, or rather I got the initial coat off. It took me hours to do it. So I've reassembled my DS and the difference is quite amazing. I ran out of sand paper so I'm going to wait until the weekend to give it another go to try and smooth it out and shine it up a bit. I'll post pics soon too.
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
Right. So as I said in my last post, I gave this body mod a try. I'm not 100% finished with it but here's how it looks so far:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It took me approximately 6 hours to do that. I've got to buy more sandpaper and go over a few spots and then I need to go over it with softer paper. I'm going to give it a few days because it was quite tiring work and my hand is still sore. I'm also going to replace my covers on the back and paint the volume rocker and lock button.
[HTC Desire S] madpanter:
Just a sugestion wouldnt it be easier to sandblast it? I sandblasted my bike and powder coated it for around 30€ so for a phone it should be max 5-10€ if not for a six pack :D
[HTC Desire S] :
Its definitely easier, but the result might be worse on the long term.

When sanded it is already scratched, so when it scratches then its not a big deal, but you will see that really fast when you sandblasted it.
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
Don't have access to a sandblaster so I decided to just sand it. Plus djpbx already suggested that sandblasting wouldn't be great in the long-term. I'm quite pleased with the result.
[HTC Desire S] :
Id be too! Looks amazing!

But one question, did you varnish it yet in the pictures?
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
It hasn't been varnished yet. I still have a bit of sanding to do in some places. And I'm not sure what type of varnish to try.
[HTC Desire S] Mayex:
Great work! :)

Have anyone other done this and could take photos?
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
I never did actually varnish it. Never found anything to use. I'd totally recommend it. I love how my phone looks now, my friends all thought I had a brand new phone when they saw it.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Why did i have to read this thread..... Ah well, looks like im gona have a white Desire S lol. Think it will look cool, OP urs looks mint with the red buttons etc :thumbup:
[HTC Desire S] razi914:
Badly want this modding, but im not good in painting and screwing and ****!
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
The alternative is just buying the silver Desire S body off of a parts website.
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
I thought the desire s only came in red n black?
[HTC Desire S] madboxgr:
No mine is grey
[HTC Desire S] heintjeput:
Hmm... did you also do something to your screen. Or did you never get scratches on that?
[HTC Desire S] :
Never got any scratches on the screen from sanding cause I took it apart when I sanded :)

Furthermore I always have XtremeGuard screenprotectors.
[HTC Desire S] L3van:
The swag is strong with this one, :good:

i'll try this!!
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Lol im only half done on mine, started the other day and the bloody paint is harder than it looks to sand off, so my phone is half black n silver, need more sandpaper. But i know its gona look good tho
[HTC Desire S] uarepeople:
How did it turn out for you?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Still black n silver hehe. My 5 yr old boy has it now, i put a cm7 rom on it and removed everything, phone, browser etc etc and only has the 1 screen (home screen) and changed grid size to 7x7 and all thats on there is games and a music widget. He's happy anyway lol
[HTC Desire S] Czysty:
Great job :) Maybe I'll make some thing similar if the original painting scratches :)
[HTC Desire S] xiaoout:
dazzling ~! I would get a try.
[HTC Desire S] Izy:
I have done this mod the worst part is the 400grit sand to remove the paint start from 200, from there I went and quickly went over it with 600,800,1200,1600. Then I tried a few attempts with 2000 which really makes a big difference as it adds the shine the back of the desire s becomes slightly reflective with it. Though this is all by hand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jellydroid13:
The title says it all. I'm looking to port multi window from the i9300 to our vzw model. Since they are both TW it is possible, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
From what i hear that functionality is intergrated into everything on the rom and it woukd take a lot of work to strip it out. The reason the i9300 has it is because Samsung is getting ready to release android 4.1.2, which is another thing we would possibly need before something like this would work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darkhawk3383:
There is another thread about this which had this link showing Multi window on the Galaxy S II, So I'm sure it's possible just don't know how difficult

So I was testing the pinch to zoom gesture in browser and gallery ..

Has anyone else noticed that it doesn't start zooming until your fingers are a few cm apart.. Is it a software thing?

Its not screen sensitivity because if you start the gesture with your fingers a few cm apart . it zooms instantly

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Its actually very smooth . for some reason though it starts the gesture a tad late
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerijiso:
Heard the same thing in a lot of video reviews. I just happen to just watch the Galaxy nex vs Nex 4 video review by Pocketnow a few hours ago and there is a huge difference in the pinch to zoom department. The N4 seems to be less sensitive at it. Some say its LG's hardware. Any comments?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Like I said m. Its smooth . but it takes a second for the gesture to start .. It only starts when your fingers are a few cm apart . instead of instantly
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DforDesign:
It's less sensitive because of that zero gap tech. I hope it can be adjusted in some roms.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InvalidUsername:
I honestly wouldn't doubt it. I just tested on display tester, and if you move your finger quickly, the points on the screen lag behind pretty significantly. I honestly doubt that it would take much computational power to draw a dot on the screen, so I'm guessing that the baseline performance of the touchscreen is poor.

By the way, I initially thought that it may be a delay in the screen registering the input, but even if I kept my finger on the screen, and moved it suddenly, it doesn't track very well. I kept firm contact at all times, and at no point did the contact counter drop from 2, so this isn't a sensitivity issue, and it has nothing to do with throttling or processing power. The touchscreen just sucks, to put it simply

Basically, LG is an absolute piece of ****. I hope they never make a Nexus device again. I don't care how "cheap" this is, a lot of us just wanted a good Nexus phone. I would've gladly paid $200 more for a phone with a proper touchscreen from Sony.

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

Nope. Try it with 1 finger in display tester. Move your finger a little on the quick side, and it completely loses all ability to track your finger in real time. Shameful performance from a "high end" smartphone, really.

What sucks the most is that the touchscreen is absolutely crucial for perception of speed. You can have a billion core processor, but if the touchscreen isn't sending data quickly enough, it'll all seem slow/laggy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Yea but surely that isn't the issue with the pinch to zoom ? It detects the gesture after a few cm. But if you start a few cm apart its instant
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
My guess is that when your fingers are within 1 cm, the phone detects it as one touch point (one fat finger)

But when they are 1 cm apart, it is detected as two touch points

Anyways, shouldn't matter, I mean who puts two fingers super close then zooms? I generally start zooming in with my fingers 1-2 cm apart anyways

I picked up my first 920 from somewhere other than ATT. It initially had an small issue with its audio where the external sounds were not initially enabled. I did a hard reset to be sure, and both times it was off. Got past that and the phone seemed ok, until I unplugged it and hit the power button and it froze... HARD! No response from any button, or combination of buttons. I returned it and went to got the next one from ATT. This one started out perfectly, had no issue with sound. Then during a call it FROZE. Not as hard as the first one as connecting power and holding the <Volume Down> and <Power> buttons for 2-3 minutes finally rebooted it. That I have similar experiences with two phones says that there may well be something wrong the phone in general, and I am very surprised that I have not found it reported by others here. Have I missed something?
