I think all the wow factor phones are getting held up for mobile world congress next month. All I really saw so far that was interesting was the new xperia ZL or whatever it was, but given sony's track record there will be an updated version by march.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
If you're going to be waiting until spring, I'd keep my eyes out for devices using the upcoming SnapDragon 600 or 800 processors that were just announced. The specs on these chipsets are amazing...40 to 75 percent more powerful than our Snapdragon S4 Pro processors.

DAMMIT QUALCOMM... take a break... let me enjoy this feeling for a while.

:laugh:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
That's the way of the gadget world. As soon as you buy the latest and greatest, it's already obsolete. :rolleyes:

Take comfort that everyone who buys one of those new Qualcomm chipped phones will be surpassed just as quickly by the next thing to come out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I can't wait. :B
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
This makes me feel better... slightly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jamesc760:
I won't ever consider a Sony phone, especially on AT&T, given that their phones come with locked bootloaders that can't be unlocked. International versions are easily unlocked. By Sony. Just not the US versions. I should know, I had a Sony Xperia Play phone for a while and I recently returned an Xperia TL.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
The thing that kills me, and this isn't an attack, is that a lot of people are like "I would NEVER get this phone because it's made by this!"

Like me, I personally don't like Samsung. And I make it a point to not buy their phones.

Sony's I have no experience with and I've only had an LG twice (this phone and a flip phone when I was 14).

But my point is people say they hate LG for whatever reason and then sell this phone and by the N4, which yknow, made by LG.

Again, not at attack! I was simply doing research on when the N5 was coming out and all these people are like, I HATE LG, NEXUS ALL THE WAY (sent from my N4). It's just laughable.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I hope they were being ironic... and not moronic.

I only had Sony's first Android phone.

It was meh, I heard they did better after that.

It is AT&T I would never buy.

They are a terrible and lock down all their phones.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I'm going to have to say the latter, lol.

Funny enough one of those people was AndreaCr.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnbyebye:
FWIW, they did much better. Their newest Xperia Z(L) looks like magnificent work of art.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
As long as you're waiting, see what the S4 has to offer. Samsung's have custom ROM's about 7 hours after the first go on sale. Also, by then, the development on this phone should really be kicking into high gear (knock on wood). Also, you might catch wind of the LGOG2 then.

However, at some point there is about only so much power you're going to need in a handset that everything else becomes overkill. These phones are almost as powerful/fast as a mid-level laptop, but you don't want to type out a long word doc on them or edit an excel file. Finally, this will probably cost a coke and a smile by then compared to the S4 or LGOG2. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Haha! Now in the N4 forums.

Yeah, I love the aesthetics of the xperia phones... haven't looked that one up yet though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gregk232:
I would never judge a phone by it's manufacturer.

Look at Motorola. We went from the original Verizon Droid to the piece of sh**t Backflip on AT&T. Then we have the Atrix 4g, which in my experience had nice specs, but overall was a terrible quality phone.

HTC use to be the kind of Android phones, and now they have dropped off. (Look at their latest earnings).

Also do not forget the earliest Android offering by Samsung that I can remember - Samsung Moment for Sprint. That thing was all kids of ugly and slow.

I used to work for an eBay reseller, and played with 100 - 150 phones per day. Manufacturer is really irrelevant. You have to look at the unit as in individual.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Yeah, I think people realize this (most anyways).

The beauty of android is it can be put on a whole slew of devices.

Low-end to Optimus G.

But we can dislike the way a company handles updates, have had problems with bad quality control, etc.

Then again, some people are really something else.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] antheezy:
For those people bagging on Sony consider this:

Xperia Z compared to Optimus G (Key Differences):

Xperia Z is waterproof(to a certain extent) and dust proof Optimus G is not

Xperia Z has a better camera by a longshot

Xperia Z has a 5 in 1080P screen with onscreen buttons I believe Optimus G is 4.6 or .7 without onscreen buttons (so pretty similar) with a 1280 x 768 res

Same CPU, RAM, Storage, Expansion

Xperia Z comes with 4.1.2 fresh out the box, while Optimus G only has 4.0.4( I hope it gets updated soon or atleast by the time the Z comes out)

Xperia ZL is very similar to the Z with the difference of being smaller all around(Front screen occupying 75% of the front), slightly thicker with a bigger battery and not dust/waterproof.

All these things are slight differences between the two phones considering it is a product coming out 4 months away. I think the only thing that would make it extremely appealing versus the G is that it has a really nice camera that has HDR video recording. I wouldn't judge Sony when it comes to support. Ive noticed them being very good contributing to AOSP more so than any other company and they help with unlocking bootloaders and etc. The real villain will always be the carriers that make these STUPID choices of bloatware, locking bootloaders forcing changes in product.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ratchetjaw:
Those differences do matter but for me, why I am using this phone right now over my Note 2 is (1) miricast seems to work better than my allshare did. (2) q slide and quick memo but the main reason is dual play/ screen when using miricast. Those features I use daily. Sony won't have them from what I have seen. Samsung's Multi-view doesn't work (shuts off) when allshare is turned on so no dual screen. That was a huge let down for me cause I loved my Note 2. Sorry for the rant
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Allshare used to randomly disconnect while I was streaming movies. Wasn't a deal-breaker but still annoying.

Sent from my Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ratchetjaw:
Yeah I get/got that too with allshare. I just didn't like watching a video/YouTube getting a text and having to stop it to answer. With my OG I don't have too and that's awesome.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
What adapter or device are you connecting with via Miracast? I've got a WiDi adapter that's about two years old, so I'm guessing that won't work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ratchetjaw:
I am actually just using the Samsung allshare dongle I got for my Note 2. The OG connects better to it then my Note does lol. (Nonstock kernel issues with the Note)
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Hey there everyone,

I searched and search but couldn't find a ROM for the GSM Evo 3D which has its 3D and stuff working, is running Gingerbread and has sixaxis controller support..

I really looked around but couldn't find anything. Did I miss something or there really isn't any?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Well I am not sure if gingerbread even supports six axis compatibility. As I understand it, HTC never meant for the evo 3d to support otg (on the go) connections. Its a kernel thing. As of right now our awesome devs have otg working on their ICS/ JB kernels and only work with ICS and jb ROMs. My advice to you is if your rooted and depending on what carrier your phone is branded or unbranded, you will need to take the ruu update based on your current configuration.

Of course you will need to unlock your bootloader again. Its also recommended to gain s-off to minimize any issues.

If your familiar with jupounut bear wire trick method, head over to unlimited. io's website and look up gsm evo 3d and download the appropriate control bear. Study the picture. I used a speaker wire to perform the wire trick.

Make sure you touch both points at the same time. It will take a few tries or more to get it right but it does work. Just follow the directions to a T. Lol I know it is a lot but its worth it.

Once you gain s-off then flash your recovery (4ext highly recommended) through fast boot. Then flash your choice of ROM, then flash a kernel that supports otg according to os and network (most of the kernels today are universal)

Phew!! That's a mouthfull.
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Hey there thanks for the answer!

I should've been more clear, sorry about that. I'm already S-OFF. Done the wire trick, felt like a mastermind when doing it lol.

The thing is ICS is not cool with games for me. There are crackling sounds in most of my games like Max Payne, Temple Run, Rayman Jungle Run etc.

When I first got this phone which was running Gingerbread back then, the games had no problems at all so I really liked GB for that.

I am using Agrabren's Jelly Bean-Disarmed Toaster ROM right now, which supports sixaxis and Jelly Bean is also quite good for games as there aren't any problems at all but this ROM is not really for daily usage as its a little buggy with small graphical glitches, no 3D, some apps not working, no video streaming from Youtube through mobile data etc.

If you are saying that its a kernel thing, then I'll try all the supported kernels with Leedroid's GB ROM, see if I get lucky.

PS. There is a kernel that says it makes the phone compatible with sixaxis app, but that kernel is for Desire HD. Considering I own EVO 3D, you wouldn't reccomend I flash that would you? :D

This is the kernel I'm talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518896
[HTC EVO 3D] Jsparta26:
Of course not. You should never flash any kernel that's not meant for your phone. You run the risk of messing it up real bad. :o
[HTC EVO 3D] cetindk:
Yeah I though so too.. :D

Well thanks for clearing that up, really appreciated.

I keep getting logged out of the Facebook app every few days, and I get a notification that says "Facebook Authentication Failed" and it takes me to the login page, where I have to decide what syncs and how often all over again.

Anyone else experiencing this, or have a clue as to why I'm having this problem?

Any clues?

I was wondering if there are any tweaks that would allow me to get to homescreen or open up hte multitask tabs using finger gestures, sort of like those of iPad.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] onecrzyasian:
You can try cmd gesture control from the app market.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] F123D:
SwipePad: Hyperspace Launcher is free and you can swipe to take you back to the home page (or straight into google now, s voice, etc..). For multitasking however, thats an add on that's .99cents. It doesn't open up the phones multitask tabs but opens up its own separate multitasking launcher. Check out youtube for some reviews.

Mod Edit: Removed quoted post and retort. No need to start an argument over a simple gesture.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SicMe:
I prefer the stock drawer than having the Nova Launcher one. But keep everything else Nova. Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
Don't think that's possible since app drawers are within each launcher. In order words, Nova's app drawer is solely Nova's, the stock launcher' app drawer is solely the stock launchers, etc etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SicMe:
Thanks, will do some more research...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
What is it that you like better about the stock drawer??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
I like the pinch preview feature of stock drawer. And the transition animation when you exit. I haven't been using any home replacement since I've been using beans rom. Only thing I liked from home replacements is the scrollable bottom docks. But I've since then discovered that the multi Window drawer can be moved around. I now have it at the bottom whereas I can use it as a scrollable dock.

It could be that the pad at the store is broken. If it works at one store but not the other, there is not reason to think that its your phone that works. Sometimes the people behind the counter need to press the credit button before you make the transaction as well.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racefan82:
so i just got the razr hd a couple nights ago, now on my old samsung s i had a display on one of the screens that showed what apps were active.

if i touch the icon that looks like paper on the bottom right of the phone (razor hd) and swipe them right does that acaully close out the apps or do i have to go into setting then apps to close them out ?

Second is there any way to change the icons on the unlock screen ?

Third if anyone has any good tips or useful hints feel free to share..
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaloide_:
1) Well, swipping apps on Android 4.0 and above, It seems that you don't kill the app by swipping it, but don't worry Android handles the memmory well plus you have lots of RAM. Remember that task killers do more harm than good.

2) You can install a custom lockscreen from the market like Go Lockscreen there is no native way on the Motorola ROM unless you install another ROM.

3) Try installing another Laucher like nova, you won't see the lag that the Motorola Launcher has, but unfortunately you can't use the Motorola widgets like Circles on third party launchers...

And if you are bold enought try installing another ROM and see wich one suits you best, I have an XT925 with unlocked bootloader (good bye warranty) and I'm currently on CM10 wich I like a lot ;)

how do i take a blue ray or standard dvd and get on to the phone ?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alcaloide_:
well, I supose you want to watch your DVDs on the phone?

You'll need to use a PC to convert your DVDs into a MKV file or some sort of video format that your phone supports...

Don't have experience doing that...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animez:
First you'll need software to rip the dvd or bluray to a pc. There are freeware options out there but you are generally better off buying the software (especially if you want to rip bluray). I don't have a bluray drive in my computer so I only do dvds. I use DVDFab and just rip the whole disc image, then use Handbrake (free) to convert for playback. I actually do these for my kids movies to stream them through dlna to the main TV, but the format (mkv or mp4) will play on the phone just fine as well. I'm not 100% sure the stock player does mkv, but there are many free players in the market that will.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] et4891:
how do you do the edit to gain the db?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
He used his own ringtone file and an app to increase the volume of the audio file. Audacity works well for this. If you drop a file in /sdcard/Ringtones it will find it on the next boot when the media scanner runs and you can use it.

If you want to use one that's on the phone, you can pull it out using adb. They are located at /system/media/audio/ringtones

You can also pull it off using an app that serves as a web browser or a file manager that will read from the root of the filesystem upwards. I haven't used the stock file manager yet so don't know if that will work. If you're rooted, you can increase the volume (gain) and then export it back to the same format and put it back in the same location /system/media/audio/ringtones or just the same to /sdcard/Ringtones but you'lle have the same file twice unless you edit the tags when you export, the filename isn't always what gets displayed.

Sortened and easy version: Use a tool on the PC to increase the volume or gain of the file then drop in in /sdcard/Ringtones/ and reboot the phone. Wait a few minutes to make sure the media scanner finds it during the boot process, find your Ringtone in the selection.
