[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
So in other words unless there aren't many apps being developed that require more powerful processors and ram then there's really not that much to look forward to with the upcoming s4 performance wise other than an increase in display size, pixel density and perhaps battery life... I can't imagine how much more improvements can be done over the current performance of the note 2. This thing is literally by far the best phone experience since my last iphone device.

Well if you don't push the hardware there is less reason to push the software. But sometimes I think we need to stop pushing the hardware so the software can catch up/get optimized to take full advantage ofodern CPU architecture. But it really is lazy and sloppy coding more than anything. I'd much rather have a 500hp that can pull whatever load efficiently rather than a locomotive's 10,000 that pulls by brute force inefficiently. To the previous poster, the s4 pro might be faster, but it is a modified a9 and the exynos is almost a pure a9 and much more efficient as is. There have been few games or apps that even make my phone a hint of warm. And by hint of warm, my phone has only got remotely warm a couple of times. I've run GPS with navigation on and music playing and my phone has yet to even make the glass noticeably warm. Only square enix's game, chaos rings go has made my gnote2 get to a temperature I wanted to know but haven't even bothered to check because I know it wasn't even close to a threshold. Heck even charging with music playing and my gnote2 rarely battery rarely goes above 30* c.

note 3. The device with s4 and a15 cant compete note 2 in screen size :cool:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
the note2 has already been outdated. a6, s4, s4pro and even a15 has already hit the market with t604. with that said, yes, the hardware is beefy enough it should last most mainstream users 2 years. it might even last me a whole year this time before i get antsy for another phone before 12 months is up and that is saying a lot. haven't had a phone for awhile i felt confident it would hold me an entire year. and with thaaaaat said, if something really compelling comes out with a15 in a device that meets all my qualifications, buh bye note2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuki920923:
Probably when s4 is released in the 1st or 2nd quarter.

As for screen and ppi, a lot of apps/wallpapers aren't even optimized for note2's screen so in reality, a device with better specs in screen might not seem that much better in real life use compared to the note2.

Also, the lifespan of AMOLED screen is a concern. I still love my note2 and see myself using it for 2 years or so.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
What makes you think it hasn't already been outdated?

What about when you compare the Note 2 to the HTC Droid dna? In terms of processing power and a full HD screen at ~441ppi. And on top of the there's the HTC Butterfly with similar specs and with a removable micro sd slot...

I looked at the screen of my sgs 3 and it's sharper then my sgs note 2 :( (have always thought that the sgs note 1 has a sharper screen then a sgs 3)

So the screen is already outdated meaning a note 2 schould at least have a full hd screen with better ppi and the never and faster gpu mail-T658 (if the gpu dosn't get upgraded games vill not be as fluid as now because of the higher resoultion) http://www.anandtech.com/show/5077/arms-malit658-gpu-in-2013-up-to-10x-faster-than-mali400 Don't need a bigger screen, battery time is better then a sgs 3,power full cpu (don't need more power), no need for more ram, mabye a better camera.

What we need is android to get more optimized, beacuse i think it's not optimized enough, you can't use the hardware to it's max potientiel, if the software i crap? (i feelt that my sgs 1 was slow and pice of .... because of the software was incredible unstable), get androdi optimized so we can use hardware like the hardware in an iphone 4 100% to it's potientiel, then they can increase the power of the hardware if it's necessary)

technology moves so fast these days, the latest phones are outdated in less than a year, they should at least last 5 plus years imo, everyone wants the latest "now" i think more than anything apple are to blame for this kind of behavior as people expect it so other companies have to supply demand.

by the time i buy a note 2 the note 3 will be announced but i don't care tbh, i use things till they break, i don't dispose of them just because its not the latest thing.

Hi to all, and happy new year! Now with the problem. I have P990 VDH, and i flashed it with new A30 firm for EURO OPEN with program "smartflash". Now there is official Hun version for my 2X but i can't flash it via "Kdz mobile update" i am doing everything as it is written i activate "windows enabler" clicking on it and it shows me "On" then puting my phone in Software ubdate mode (volume down + usb cable), then i am deactivating LGE Mobile USB Modem from device manager, then starting program (kdz firmware update) and opening my A30 (HUN) then pressing on "Launch software update".. But after a minute or two it writes me back that "PHONE IS NOT FOUND" :( i tried 4-5 times but nothing. Can you help me how can i go to official A30 HUN.

Infact when i flashed A30 on my P990 i done it via Smartflash because with KDZ i had the same problem with "Phone is not found" :( now i can't find files for A30 HUN for Smartflash ...

Thank you in advance and sorry for bad English :)

i believe the v30A hungary version is the same as all the other v30A europe open, meaning you dont need to use the kdz updater as the rom is the same

You are now on V30... and you want to put v30 but hungary version? Is there a difference or am I missing something :D
[LG Optimus 2x] dargon91:
I want to do that because of 3 reasons

First i am suffering from rapid BSOD when i put my phone in the charger.. the only way out is to remove the battery ( i think that soft for HUN will be better it is made for my phone not for euro open :( )

Second i am suffering from HUGE battery drain

And Last but not least I want to have an opportunity to update my soft via "Lg Software Update" when there is V30B or C or whatever.. Now i am stuck with V30A :(
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
Hi! write me a private message in hungarian about that what do you want, I am hungarian as well. I could help you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] dargon91:
I am not hungarian :( i am bulgarian and one of our operators sells P990 VDH :/ other operators sell it "Euro Open" and thats why mine is HUN :( It would be very hard for me to write it in hungarian to you :/
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
Oh sorry for that :). So, if I understand well you need a HUN version smartflash rom.

There is a link for that: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AHUNDW/V30a_00/V30A_00.kdz

After it got download you need to convert it to smartflash format.

Download LGExtract

Create a new folder where ever you want and put the v30a.kdz and the lgextract.exe in it.

Open a Command Line (cmd.exe) and navigate to that folder you made.

When you there write this command:

LGExtract.exe -kdz V30A_00.kdz

It creates a new file V30A_00.cab, extract the v30a_00.cab with winrar or any other program

Then type these commands:

LGExtract.exe -wdb V30A.wdb P990.dll
cd BIN
copy /b *].bin P990_AP.bin

and that's all you just have to start smart flash and and select P990_AP.bin as Ap and P990_CP.fls as CP.

ROFL!! :D :D

And yea"Phone not found case is common!" Say it wont work!

Now u have the KDZ file, extract it, smartflash, it'll work.

[HTC Amaze 4G] surafel.kebede:
Similar Problem

I am in a similar situation. I do enjoy the ROM but I simply can't use my phone without the camera. and with this ROM, the video recorder doesn't work. Also, suddenly my phone doesn't recognize wma files as music? I used Player Pro for almost a year before this ROM with various other ROMS but for some reason, I can't play wma music files. Additionally, when I tried to flash several other ROMs that I used before this one (Fourth Bar Infusion, SpeedRom 7.5 and 7.9) it wouldn't load past the Nexus symbol boot screen. It would flash the green red yellow blue lights for hours. I really hope someone can help me!

He promised a new update today! Hopefully he has the time to get around to it.

Other than the FC's (which in the really spotty connection zones that I frequently find myself in are a real pain in the A$$) I love this rom. I can only hope he updates to the Jan 4th CM update and includes the BT fixes and wifi calling that they've been working on over there.

Sadly, I would use their rom but it's just too unstable right now. But with Jose on board, I can only hope this all works out well in the Dark Glass .3!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloves:
Hi everyone,

I used RegawMod to unlock the bootloader, get root, and installed TWRP flash recovery. Phone is "S-ON". The phone was having issues with repeated SMS and I couldn't take the OTA. So I was told to relock the bootloader and install stock RUU file.

Ok so I did just that, relocked bootloader and then went to reinstall the RUU. When I went to download the RUU's I saw that the latest version was:

"RUU_JEWEL_CL_JB_45_S_Sprint_WWE_3.15.651.16_Radio_1.12.11.1119_NV_2.87_003_25007_release_299302_signed.exe"

I figured it would be ok to flash this and this would give me Jelly Bean all in one shot. My phone was running the stock rom which was software version "1.13.651.1"

So I installed the RUU and everything seemed to work properly until the phone rebooted. I noticed that none of the settings had been reset and the email account was still there etc. Typically when you flash an RUU everything goes back to configure mode on reboot. So I went into the settings software version etc and sure enough the software was the old software.

Looks like the RUU only changed my boot loader! When I checked originally I had bootloader 1.12.0000 after flashing the latest RUU file my bootloader was now 2.09.0000.

I then downloaded the "1.13.651.1" RUU to try and install it but it said not compatible with the bootloader.

Any advice on why the rom didn't update? What can I do now? :confused:

Welcome to the machine, where have you been? It's alright, we know where you've been.

Got a pretty lengthy thread, it seems the more people that run the new RUU are having the same exact issue. My radio is stuck on 1.05 and hboot 2.09 after running that thing. Should have known not to trust anything stock. Always thought those RUUs were safe.

Anyways, a bunch of us are subscribed to the thread I posted at the top of this post, I recommend you subscribe to it to keep things clean.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dugzino:
Hi fellas, I was wondering if it was worth going for the XT or wait for the XV to pop out? (in Belgium, they're still not out)

They're both kinda same except for screen sizes..

So, I wanna know, what are the pros & cons of those 2 devices.

Guess the XV is cheaper, right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nightwing369:
Get the Sony Xperia V. It's better than the Sony Xperia T. The Sony Xperia V has (but is not limited to) 4G and HSPA+, is IP57 certified - dust and water resistant, has a 342 ppi pixel density, has Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine 2, Bluetooth v4.0 and up to 18 h music play. All of those specs are better than the Sony Xperia T's specs. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Ambroos:
V is more expensive, but it won't be released in Belgium. You could get it from the Netherlands through smartphoneshop.be or gsmwijzer.be in a few weeks though.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nightwing369:
What's your source for each of those statements?? :confused: P.S. What about for the UK?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] GuestK00328:
If you want a large screen and more storage: The Xperia T is for you!

If you want waterproof and 4G: The Xperia V is for you!

There are some features on the XV that the XT doesn't have, (Bravia Engine 2, for example) however, these features are only on one and not the other because the XT was made earlier, they will be available through the Jelly Bean update.

If it makes your decision any easier: I chose the Xperia T!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
I chose the Xperia V. I previously had the Xperia S.

I havent once looked back, and I'm EXTREMELY satisfied with the Xperia V.

The only minus with it is the storage. Its only slightly above 3GB of usable space on the V. But ofcourse, this can easily be fixed with a decent SD-Card and App2SD.

Even the spotify cache can be moved these days.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
As stated above: Xperia V has 4G, water resist, Bravia Engine 2, 342 ppi, etc etc.

But it also have cons: Can not root (Bin4ary) with locked bootloader-, ports need to be opened/closed everytime for charging or using headphones, gets very hot when using 4G, not much development or interest yet by devs, Facebook bug (portrait rotate photo upload) and no leather case in the box.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Another con: the frontcam is utter ****.

Atleast compared to the one on the back. The main camera is amazing. Never seen a camera quite like it. But the one on the front.. not so much :p

the one on Xperia S is slightly better.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nightwing369:
As for the cons: maybe at some point the devs will find a way of doing this - the point of XDA is that even if it takes ageeees, the devs eventually end up finding a way of doing something even if it's really difficult - in this case root would be the example. EDIT: Bootloader can be unlocked at: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ . How to Root and CWM with the latest 9.0.1.D.0.10 firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060815 . Flashable unsecure kernel:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024299 (I hope the development picks up as soon as the Xperia V is available globally - so far only Asia, Sweden and Russia have the Xperia V) ; can live with the port opening/closing if it means it's waterproof ; I know I will get some flak for this, but, I can also live with the fact that it gets hot with 4G ; the facebook bug is already being looked into (and will be addressed) by Sony ; and I am also not bothered about the lack of a leather case in the box - most phones don't include cases in the box anyway.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Some phones cant be bootloader unlocked. Some can.

Thats the way it is. Mine could luckily be unlocked.

I bought mine here in Norway. And yes, Norway also got this phone for sale.

So your sources on only Asia, Sweden and Russia would be pretty good about now. Have had it in my store since early Dec.

Edit: And CM10.1 (Android 4.2) is currently available and is beeing worked on. Lets not forget that Sony gives away phones to developers (ie. CM) so it can be developed fast and proper. CM10.1 has quite a few flaws ofcourse, but in a few weeks I'd bet that most of it would be fixed.

I'm currently using CM10.1, and I'm quite content except the fact that the camera is not there, and there are some issues with the sound and the GSM. But all in all its in a pretty decent state coming to the fact that its 4.2
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nightwing369:
Edit: Sorry, instead of Sweden I meant to say Nordic countries

You're using CM10.1 (Android 4.2) on your Sony Xperia V? Which xda thread link please? I'm guessing you've unlocked the bootloader, flashed the unsecure kernel, rooted and installed CWM recovery (unsure which CWM version) before installing CM10.1??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
To be able to flash ROMs, that are not stock based you need unlocked bootloader.

You can flash ROMs with CWM that are stock based but you need root first.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dmbardal:
Hehe :p

Yes I am. Its in Xperia V development.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2025.

And yes, I have unlocked my bootloader. I did flash the unsecure kernel, rooted and installed CWM recovery before installing CM10.1.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dugzino:
Thanks for the replies guys!

Lots of pros and cons, after checking the prices tho, XV is way too expensive for those few more features it has over the XT.

Thanks for those links mate. I'll still wait a bit more before making a move but, I think I'll root for the XT.

The only worth feature the XV has over the XT is the water/dust resistance.

But, if for this feature I have to pay 100€ more then, no way!

Between 323 and 342ppi, you won't see any difference, will you?

PS: Thank AvRS for moving the thread.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nightwing369:
You're welcome, but purely clicking on thanks is enough! :)

Think you might, it's one of a few reasons why I'm going for the V rather than the T as soon as the V releases in the UK at some point during this month.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] -SlenderMan-:
I'd pick Xperia V. I mean I would sacrifice those open/close flaps for each port for a more durable phone. As for the root, I'm just happy that the developers here do a fast and good job to get a phone rooted unlike the developers that takes about a year to get their iPod jailbroken. I mean seriously. I got my iPod since November 2012 and the jailbreak (they jailbroken an iPhone already) can take up to a year.
