{reply xperia t/v}

{REPLY}>But Ion have a really beautiful screen. And large one too. The reason why im changing from U is because the screen is too small.[/QUOTE]

Go for Xperia V although ion screen bigger...It's specs much better than Xperia ion.

Now already available in Singapore...And also it is dust and water proof...

:)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
this is from my perspective:

I wouldn't choose either. If you can hold it up till next year then do it.

The V, yes it has better specs and features than the ION, but its not all that great IMHO. The "flaps" is damn annoying, Ive owned Xperia S before and i hated it every single day. On top of that, 4.3 inch screen with virtual buttons? Sorry Im not a huge fan of getting phones with less than 4.5 inch screens. I am currently using Xperia TL, and damn with those virtual buttons it makes my screen look smaller than it should be.

The ION, specs are too outdated and on top of that who knows if it will get the updates after jelly bean. Better to be on the safe side. And yes, it does have a better screen than Xperia T. Both ION and Xperia T feels damn sturdy. Like rock solid, unlike the SG3.

Just saying~

PS: dont get the Optimus G, its horrible and yes the specs are the best in the market right now, but its LG. They have a long history of bad update procedures and stuff (built quality/software)??. In addition, they just ditches their flagship phones after 3 months or something. :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lee480:
Thanks for your advice. I have a telecom voucher that ends very soon, two days from now, in fact. The flaps are to protect the Xperia V from nature though have no idea why the Xperia S have it. I guess I will go for the Xperia V. It's cheaper (S$40) and it's more future prove, plus LTE. And it's the bond phone haha.

Xperia v vs ion

hi bro, hopefully u have not bought the xperia v yet, i went to Singtel yesterday and tested the Xperia V with my ion.

1. The screen on the ion beats the Xperia V so much. Contrast so much better and deeper blacks on the Ion.

2. I have installed the Cybershot V4 and i compared the camera on both phones. Superior Auto on V and HDR auto on Ion, the xperia v's 13mp camera gave me a pic of 2.2mb photo size and the Ion 12Mp camera gave me a 2.95mb photo size . (Same Photo)

3. Yea, the ions lags slightly on CPU speed, but its very Minor.

3a. Yea, the onscreen buttons may seem not so responsive on the ion, but after all the firmware updates, all the touch screen Mods, its almost Perfect.

4. After looking at the outlook of the Xperia V, i found out that i prefer my Ion looks(Aluminium back) , although its slightly thicker. In fact i feel that Xperia Arc looks better then the V.

5. The screen is larger then the V.

6. Internal Storage is more then the V.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lee480:
It's too late :(

I choose the V. Thanks for your advice anyways. I agree with you that ion is one of the best HD screen Sony ever made. I went to the Xperia Store in j8 and there's a screen tearing lag in the ion. But the V is cheaper and more future prove.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakan290:
Hey y'all, so basically I'm using my phone as an iPod touch, and I've got some modified version of CM7 on it, it's great.

I upgraded to a faster phone for most stuff, but its not a ruggedized phone, and whenever I go camping in the woods, I just store it in the car, just in case I fall into a river or something and lose the phone.

I was wondering, what is the snappiest/quickest/fastest rom? I still want to be able to have the option of cell service, but I don't care too much about fluff/background apps and things. I just want to play music/watch a video/listen to the radio, and, if in danger, use my prepaid phone card to call for help.

If keeping my CM7 rom and tweaking it is the way to go, by all means i'll do that, but I don't really see anyone reporting lagginess/speed stuff anywhere. (which the CM7 rom definitely does, it's a bit slow at times.)

Thanks in advance everyone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
CM7's fastest at the moment, also stable

CM10 by Quarx

The CM10 (latest build) by Quarx would be a great option for you if you want to experience your defy+ flying like never before :D

The default launcher is a bit laggy,Instead go for Nova launcher.

Dont forget to write out your experience with CM10 :laugh:;)

I have an app which will not run since my phone is rooted, however it is simply an app to show me the balance in my HSA acount so i have absolutely no concerns if it is compromised due to my being rooted. no account numbers are displayed the only information is why my current balance is.

so i downloaded the apktool and copied the apk off my phone and unpacked it.

here is what i found:

from this I took the step of renaming superuser.apk after i had disabled it, and the app would finally open.

for the line that lists /system/app/superuser.apk i can change the name, but can someone point out the invoker and tell me what to change on the line that is invoking sudo so i can recompile the app and try it out?

or can i simply null a variable so that it returns a "no root here" value?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orateam:
just rename the superuser.apk word and the test-keys to something else so it fails the check.

that works for the apps i've used to do this.

I accidentally removed the email app on a rooted version of gingerbread. I backed it up, but apparently, it didn't back up successfully. Can someone provide the APK and installation instructions? I need it for my work email.

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
In case no one provides it briefly and you need it urgently, you can download any GB Rom and extract the email.apk from its /system/app directory.

Then copy it to your phones /system/app using a root browser, and set it's permissions to rw-r-r (644)

Reboot & you should be good
[Samsung Infuse 4G] startrunmspaint:
Thanks so much for the response. I'll give that a try. What's the .odex file in the app directory?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Email.apk? That's all you should need
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
So Verizon actually responded to an fcc complaint. This is their stupid reason for blocking Google wallet. Strangely no mention if their home grown "Isis" voids this "security" thing.

androidheadlines.com/2012/12/verizon-tells-us-why-they-block-google-wallet-due-to-secure-element-requirement.html
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
Did you read their letter? They aren't blocking it. Google Wallet does not work with their secure element. Google can update Wallet to work with their phones anytime they want to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dsDoan:
Google Wallet already works on their phones. I have it running on my Galaxy S3, and I'm sure a bit of searching will show that it runs perfectly fine on other phones, as well. I installed it directly from Google Play after editing a few tags to make Google Play think that I had a different phone, so they are, indeed, blocking Google Wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
Yes, they were responding to my complaint.

I believe Verizon IS blocking it, because Wallet runs on the Sprint GS3, and also, members here have gotten it to run on the Verizon GS3 by simply changing a few things on their phone.

Funny how Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are backing ISIS, and Google Wallet doesn't work on those companies GS3, but Sprint is NOT backing ISIS and Google Wallet works on their GS3... HMMMM..... what does that tell you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] redhooka:
Verizon isn't the only carrier using ISIS, it is not a homegrown service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
Isis should void this "secure element" to then since it requires special hardware and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
Verizon, ATT, and T-Mobile are all backing it. Correct. But they are making their own wallet service. Therefore it is home grown. By all three of them.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
I don't see how Verizon is right in all this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ezekiel2000:
Exactly. The problem isn't actually running the app. Google Wallet runs fine on our phones once it's installed, the issue is that it isn't available in the PlayStore for us to download without us changing a file to fool the store into thinking we are on another phone...which allows us to proceed with the download.

Verizon is saying it won't run on the phone as it is and that's wrong...it's running fine.

The only issue is that Verizon is blocking the download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Really? They think they own our equipment, when they don't.we just use their service

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
You believe they're blocking it, despite them directly saying they're not? I guess you're in the we never went to the moon crowd either. Companies don't lie as much as you'd like to believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
That is what I was trying to say...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] b4silver:
I believe that they want to see their service (Isis) to succeed and since Google wallet is a competitor than they don't want it on there. Because I say that doesn't mean you can judge me. I have my opinion of a company. You have yours. The end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gunnett:
I've gotten Google Wallet to work and then when I take any updates it screws up damn Verizon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] serial fordicator:
I just wish something would happen. I couldn't get google wallet to work on mine even after I used the fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] grin0048:
Verizon is being about as honest on this as Clinton was with his "it depends on what the meaning of 'is' is."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
They are blocking it, they're just doing it indirectly. Instead of saying "you cannot run Google wallet on your phone" they are telling Google that they cannot access the hardware Google wallet needs to function correctly.

Our phone has the hardware necessary to run Google wallet, but Verizon is not letting them use it.

Clearly the secure element in the nfc chip is important for this functionality or their own implementation wouldn't be using it.

They may not be flat out lying but they are being pretty dishonest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chamberc:
They're only saying that Google won't update Wallet to access the secure element, not that they're denying Google from accessing it. Companies don't operate the way y'all think. Verizon isn't blocking it, Google is. The end.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
We clearly aren't reading the same letter.

I'm not sure how much more clear it can be that Verizon is not allowing Google to access the secure element. They want Google to modify it to NOT use the secure element so that their own mobile payment solution has an advantage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roflonmywaffle:
Verizon may have great coverage and 4G speeds, but lately they've been trying to have an iron grip on customers which to me is kinda oppressing us as customers. Do you guys think it'l get to a point of legal battle between us and them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bgnw:
Yes, this will happen within the next 2 years is my guess. People (consumers) are starting to open up to the idea of Open Source, and it's popularity and market share grows with each year (android, ubuntu, chrome, etc).

It will come to an impasse eventually and Verizon will try it's hardest to block people that are purchasing devices at full price, which SHOULD eliminate their excuse of "we need to recoup the costs", because we can prove they over-subsidize their devices to increase their revenue. I'm not saying I'm against subsidization, but when the consumer owns the device outright, Verizon legally has no right to restrict a consumer from modifying the interface and programs to their liking. It will boil down to Verizon only controlling their network and plans, not the physical device itself.

Google is too strong of a player to roll over for Verizon, and the more manufacturers and consumers that get on board with this and become publicly vocal, it will back Verizon in to a corner and force their hand. If they don't adapt to the current climate of what the market wants, they will lose customers and become the next Sprint. Thankfully, Sprint is bouncing back after some radical PR, customer feedback, and policy changes.

Google wallet works great with the secure element. Would you want your credit card info stored outside of the secure element? That wouldn't be very secure would it. I've had Google wallet running on my s3 for a couple months and it works great.

Got a bunch of digital copies of movies from DVD/Blu-Ray's I've bought, unfortunately they look pixelated and or blocky on the tablet. Is this because the resolution of the tablet is 1280×800 and most of these movies are DVD quality which somewhere around 640x480? Is there any way to convert them to higher res?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midas69:
Are you using the built-in video player or something else? I had this issue when I was using MX Player and fixed it by changing the decoding.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howie411:
Tried using MX Player and doesn't look any better. Maybe just the initial movie quality is bad.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reiman76:
My two cents.

MX Player's software decoder tend to pixelize movies a bit, even movies that are encoded in 720p or 1080p. The color gradient is terrible. I tried hardware mode and it seems to fix the pixelazation problem a bit. Although using the stock video player seem to yield better movie playback results.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] standarduser:
To answer your other question, you cannot increase the resolution of a movie file. You have to go back to the original movie, and re-encode it at a higher res. In the case of the digital copies, you are pretty much stuck at the resolution the created the file with.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
If you have/want to go back to stock, it is best to use the backup you made(of course you made a backup). If you somehow lost or didn't make a backup. Here are the directions for going back to version 1.9.12 from scratch.

I wrote these directions for Linux, but you can easily adapt them for WIndows(except installing adb and fastboot) by just removing 'sudo' from the commands.

Download and extract the following to your home directory: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6529005/FuhuNabi2/fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch.zip

Open a terminal(ctrl+alt+t) and run the following command to install ADB and Fastboot (Universe).

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

With the Nabi2 fully charged and turned off, hold the vol+ and power button until the menu comes up. You use the vol- to navigate and the vol+ to select. Choose 'Fastboot Protocol', connect your USB cable.

We will flash the new TWRP recovery image using fastboot:

sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

When fastboot is finished, boot the new recovery kernel on the Nabi2 by pressing vol+ then vol-(down to recovery) then vol+ to select.

Now the device is in TWRP, choose Wipe>Factory Reset>Slide to Wipe

We will now push the WiFi Fix that might be needed to restore wifi.

sudo adb push fuhu_nabi2_wifi_fix.zip /sdcard/fuhu_nabi2_wifi_fix.zip

Get your device id(unique to YOUR Nabi2), you will use the 16 character value returned in the next step to replace '___YOUR_DEVICEID_GOES_HERE__' :

adb devices

This will return something like:

List of devices attached
016b32201337rf0f	recovery

Replace '___YOUR_DEVICEID_GOES_HERE__' in the following command with what was returned to you. This command is going to push a large file, so it will take some time, wait for it to finish. TWRP has a file manager if you need to free some space on your /sdcard/

adb push fuhu_nabi2_v1912_system.ext4.win /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/___YOUR_DEVICEID_GOES_HERE__/oem/system.ext4.win

Now on the device in TWRP you can choose Restore>Using internal storage>oem>Swipe to Restore.

Once this step is finished you can Home>Reboot>Bootloader in TWRP.

Now your device is back to version 1.9.12, from here you can start doing your OTA updates, but before you do that, we have to go back to the original recovery image, otherwise the OTA will fail.

Lets flash the original recovery image:

sudo fastboot flash recovery nabi2_original_recovery.img

It is now possible to do your OTA updates. Either download them over WiFi from Settings>About Tablet> Update, or you can manually install them from a MicroSD card through the original recovery.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6529005/FuhuNabi2/fuhu_nabi2_138139__1923_ota.zip

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6529005/FuhuNabi2/fuhu_nabi2_138139_1937_ota.zip

If your system needs the wifi fix, you can flash the fuhu_nabi2_wifi_fix.zip in TWRP>Home>Install>fuhu_nabi2_wifi_fix.zip
