Does the play store still work for your account?

I saw some new reports on "gadgety.co.il" about the store being available (Cant post link being a noob and all..)

It's not up for me :crying:.

Wondering if its an other bug or are things starting to move...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftrok:
In the Settings -> Display -> Notification panel screen, I'm having trouble getting the 'Brightness adjustment' to stick.

If I turn it off (uncheck), and immediately check the Notification panel, the brightness adjustment slider is gone, great!

However after some time (sometimes 30 seconds, up to a few minutes) the brightness adjustment slider comes back from the Notification panel... and checking in the Settings screen, it still shows unchecked. Checking and re-unchecking makes it go away again, but only to come back on it's own.

Anyone else experiencing this? Possibly there is another setting which has it coming back?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kilouhm:
do u recommend to have xperia s ???

does it lag or something

do u recommend to buy it or locking for HTC or samsung

considering the price point??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wajahebat:
If me, i would go for Xperia Ion instead of XS....Just add some small bucks than XS...

Bigger screen, better camera, sleek design...Xperia S ? Yellow tint issue, ICS compatibility problem, this is what i read last time
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Better camera? They are exactly the same? Design? Its taste. Yellow tint issue was fixed 2 months after release. ICS problem? What the hell you are talking about?

On the other side, XS have much more and better support of devs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wajahebat:
I thought ive used a nice language...Ive mentioned that i read it somewhere...Not that i am firm about it...

But still Ion is a better grab than XS, bigger screen, microSD expansion slot?

And about that XS with ICS not stable, well that happens to my country set whom upgrade to ICS through OTA...Maybe yours not

Chill bro
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fabulous69:
The fact is that you are speaking about stuffs you dont own apparently, and yes, the first things you said seemed to be like: I affirm this. This is it.

No, xperia S has no screen problems since ages, and has no ICS problems..

the only argument will be: price, screen size, memory, and subjective aspect: design.

end of topic about your intervention.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Sorry if I sounded like that. The "hell" part was only a way of like: "Never heard of that".

And I didn't said you were wrong. I just presented my arguments, which are against yours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wajahebat:
From what ive read, every XS users who use OTA to ICS will encounter soo much lagginess...Bcoz of the second core disabled...

If its not true then its good to go though...No hardfeelings bro....

So which should be the best ? Xs or what?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
XS got great support from XDA. but if you like bigger screen then may go for iON. But for a phone anything bigger than 4 - 4.3 is too much for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
XPERIA LT26i has a reasonable speed/size internal flash at 32GB, misses out on MicroSD card, but really not a problem to hang a 32GB USB flash off a MicroUSB cable for most people.

XPERIA S is mostly cheaper

XPERIA ion has, LTE or HSDPA giving higher mobile speeds, a bigger battery and microSD card, but lose ~16GB internal flash.

The screen on both are much the same with XPERIA S having ~342 ppi pixel density and XPERIA ion less as it's screen is stretched out.

XPERIA acro S has 16GB internal memory, MicroSD AND is able to go swimming.

Firmware wise plus or minus a MicroSD the devices are all much the same with same processing hardware.

For all these devices JB(yet to be released) is mooted to have a good raft of features coming such as wireless media broadcast to compatible devices and etc

So this gives many of the software features of the new phones if you're happy to live with a ~1.7GHz Dual Core processor and an Adreno 220.

As already stated their will probably be more development around the XPERIA LT26i as it was part of the ASOP before Sony took over this development.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] r0bot:
Go for the Xperia SL, with the latest firmware update it's fixed most of the problems. Only thing I dislike is the overheating and stock ROM forcing you to under clock your CPU during heavy use. With general everyday usage you rarely see this happen though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hybridic:
Is it the issue with just Xperia SL ? Xperia S doesnt overheat ?

I am confused between xperia s and sl ( or maybe the new xperia SP , but it will lack community support in beginning ) . Your suggestions are welcomed :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Odp: do u recommend to have xperia s ???

No, Xperia S isn't overheating. You can surf the Net and you won't burn your hands :P Only when you are playing good games(e.g. Real Racing 3) phone can be hot but it isn't 100 degrees and you would be able to play normally without problems. After a while you won't see that phone is hot.

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shong43826:
There are some on ebay but the credit cards goes inside the case between the phone and the case. so you would have to remove the phone in order to remove the card.

Deal Extreme (dx.com) has several. Search for "N7100 Wallet"

I was just looking through these yesterday and am going to order a couple to try out also!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HKSpeed:
I've been looking for a case that hold cards in the back for months, but no luck. You can buy a card holder pocket and stick on the back of your phone or case. I bought 2 different styles from Amazon, but returned them. I didn't like how it looked and felt.

http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-Cellphone-Holder-Samsung-smartphones/dp/B007Y9H0V2

3 for $6 http://www.amazon.com/Cosmos-Adhesive-Credit-pocket-cellphone/dp/B00AZVTWPI/

I like the leather look of this one. It's made to cover the entire back of an iPhone5. You can cut off the excess material and it'll barely fit the back of the Note 2 without blocking the speaker and camera.

black http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-Sinjipouch-Leather-Cellphone-Holder/dp/B00BC44PR2

white http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-Sinjipouch-Leather-Cellphone-Holder/dp/B00BC419UI

3 card holder (white only) http://www.amazon.com/Sinjimoru-Sinjipouch-Leather-Cellphone-Holder/dp/B00BC4AZVW

Edit:

I just bought this one. Since it loads cards sideways, I can put my finger inside when I hold the phone to prevent it from dropping.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lodd:
Excellent question! I've been looking for the same thing for ages!

I found out that javoedge used to make a card case for the note 1. I think it's been discontinued.

The attachable card holders that HKSpeed mentioned look really good. Now, if only I can get my hands on one in Malaysia...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tabone:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HKSpeed:
I got the card holder pocket from Amazon yesterday. It holds 2-3 card easily. The material is stretchy cloth. I attached it upside down so I can slide my finger into it when I hold the phone in my right hand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] maryhadalamb17:
I got one

I got one of those Sinjimoru pouches that HKSpeed mentioned. It's very useful, I now barely ever take my purse with me.

However, I noticed that the edges on the seams aren't that great, it started to lift off after a little while, but maybe because I've stuffed like 4 cards in there. I've "fixed" it for the time being with super glue. And don't get the white, it gets dirty easily and can't wash it off :P
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fullyflaredfred:
Thanks for the suggestions. Still wish there was an actual case made instead of back attachments. Maybe I will give some of these a try.

Out of those 3 adhesive credit car pockets above, which one do you think has the best quality? In theory, they all look similar, full adhesive back, elastic stretchy pocket that holds 2-3 cards and a few bills, right? One is $15, the other one $10, and then you have 3 for $6. Big price spread, so I'm curious what do you think since you had tried them all. What is max holding capacity of each?

Here is what I'm thinking. Per my review in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38809235&postcount=28 since there is a gap between UAG/phone and CONVERT holster, I want to stick one of these pouches on inner side of the holster. This way I can carry my phone in a holster and when take it out I have a pocket in there for credit cards and a few 20s. I'm leaning more toward the 3 for $6 value, but not sure if its a crappy quality? Plus, since holster inner side is not solid flat, do you think it will be an issue with sticking? In theory there should be enough surface to hold on to, but would like to her your opinion.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HKSpeed:
I really liked the very last one in my post (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006GD0OJC). since the opening is longer/wider, it can hold/stretch more. I dont know if it can hold more than 3 cards plus cash, since i never tried to put in that much stuff. I think sticking a pouch to the back of a UAG case will cause lint and dirt to get stuck to the adhesive side of the pouch through the UAG's openings. Plus the UAG's material is textured, so adhesive won't stick as strong to flat plastic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
you misunderstood him. he asked about sticking it to the holster's interior, not the UAG case's interior ;)

I was looking at this case and wanted to know if anyone else has this case? I wanted to see what the quality was like. It reminds me of an otterbox.

Looks like they make these for quite a few phones.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AtomicBocks:
Mobility Armor Case

I just got this case and my first impressions are very good this is what I have noticed so far.

Pros:

- It is VERY snug, it took several tries to get on and I will never take it off again. I consider that a good thing though because silicon has a tendency to stretch and this gives it some slack to do so with out being saggy.

- The door can be used as a stand, both in portrait and landscape. Also, it is very sturdy. I don't feel like I am going to break the door by using it as such and it does take some force to open and close so no worries about it coming open in my pocket or when I drop the phone.

- Cards don't fall out when the door is open (unlike other cases of this design)

- The silicon is rubbery but not to the point that it takes extra effort to get in and out of my pocket.

- The case adds heft and thickness to the device but for me that is a good thing as my dinner plate sized hands have a lot more to grip. I have found myself able to hold and operate the phone better since using this case.

- Buttons and ports all line up very well with case, there is nothing being covered by the case that should not be covered.

Cons:

There are some cons to consider, however in my opinion the pros so far outweigh the cons and most are just nit picking.

- Included screen protector was absolute crap. (though I was expecting that)

- Despite being matte the case is still a fingerprint magnet.

- It only holds two cards. (This however is a complaint I have had for just about every case I have had that holds cards. Not sure why its too much to ask to hold my debit card, drivers license, AND student ID...)

- Silicon seems to pick up lint.

- My one large con: If you have hands big enough to hold the phone you are never going to get the stylus out of the freaking case. No really I don't understand this design flaw, the hole in the case for the stylus is about the size of the hole in the actual phone. You cannot get your finger in there if you are a normal human.

Other thoughts:

There was a cover on the part that has the USB port. It wasn't form fitting or dust proof or even protecting in any way. I just cut it off as it seemed to serve no purpose what so ever.

I will continue to use the case and do a follow up after I have been using it for a few more weeks.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
If I'm correct T-Mobile sells the Nexus 4 for a full price of $499 or $399. So you'll be paying a lot more than $200. That a big ETF price tag.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
this is not a new trick and most carriers set prices and policies to prevent it otherwise they would lose a lot of money. You probably have to return the phone if you want to cancel in your first month, and if you keep it for more than a month then its not cheaper than the play store anymore. You will probably have to sign up for a data plan too so there may be a separate ECF for data.

Hi

I have classic problem :)

I bricked my TF201 due my fault..

I did unlock bootloader via official asus apk, then i performed CWM recovery flash via fastboot..

Everithing worked fine, but after Wipe, I have bricked Prime..

Now I get is a screen with the Asus logo

Fastboot doesnt work.

APX mode does work.

- I tried to search everywere and nothing, solution "drain battery" doesnt work..

- Hard reset or factory reset doesnt work

- I have APX & ADB driver on PC, but ADB driver not recognize my prime

Is there any possibility, that I unbrick my Prime via APX mode without enabled NVFLASH (and without blobs backed up )?

Or is there any other solution please ?

Thanks for your advance..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrbanDroid:
You think with as many people that have bricked a prime in this manner that there would be a fix by now. No such luck... I'm sorry to say, but you will need a new motherboard my friend. I've been searching for one for the better part of 3 months now, to no avail. I feel your pain.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] osirls:
I'm keen on a brick fix too; I wasn't aware I had bricked or was even close to brick it until I passed the point of no return.

I was trying to update the rom to something stable just so I could flog the piece of junk as well..

Worst Android product I've ever owned. My faith in ASUS as a company has plummeted to the point I will never consider another of their products again.

Is there no way of flashing or tricking the device into booting something through apx?

No kind of hardware adapter than could be used to access the chips?

I am assuming, that TF dont have something like CMOS battery inside.. :)

Pls post any new information here in this thread. There are like thousands of people bricked their Prime neither getting into the bootloader nor saved the blobs before.. everyones waiting for a solution
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nimrodlevy82:
I think no remedy will ever come to this problem.

only if Asus will release some kind of "keygen" or "decryptor" that works with the s/n or in any other way,

it will never happen (like it has with the Acer t3 based devices).

it will take a very powerful developer/mathematician to solve this if at all.

I'm really desperate from this.... and I hope someone is working on it, who knows...

no bootloader only encrypted ****ty APX. thats why next time Im buying a Samsung with this Download mode that

you can flash whatever and whenever you like. lets hope for the best.

So since the Nexus 4 doesn't slide right off the wireless charging orb at the angle it's on, it obviously either has magnets inside it or at least a metal plate of some sort, right?

I was thinking about pulling one of the plastic pieces off my dashboard, installing a relatively powerful magnet on the inside, popping it back on and just sticking the Nexus 4 to it to use as a mount. (I am aware it wouldn't charge wirelessly, that's ok)

Would that work? Or is there any reason this might be a bad idea? I just want to make sure a regular old magnet isn't going to damage it or something.
