Never use windex or any other alcohol based or ammonia based products to clean any LCD screen.

all you guys need is a microfibre cloth (the ones that come with a pair of glasses).

using anything other than water will eat the coating.

Wash your hands with soap and hot water often. This will help keep your phone free of bacteria too.

Use alcohol on your phone and hands too, if that floats your boat, but it won't affect the vast majority of viruses - you know, those things that are even harder to see than bacteria...

Okay now i know what that "scratch" on my screen is. Ive noticed it a week ago, first I thought it was a scratch but upon further inspection it turned out the glass was perfectly okay, it seemed like the scratch is underneath the glass ??

I guess the oeleophobic coat just wore out in that area ..

Hmmm I thought the nexus 4 didn't have an oleophobic coating like the gnex etc. Does the optimus g specs list oleophobic as a feature? Edit: nope I don't think it does.

Anyway I use a dry micro fiber camera lens cloth for my screen, nothing else. Dry.

Recently I've flashed a couple roms and my phone started doing this thing where it reads (outloud) the number and the text that I recieve.

It's quite annoying, I've been through all the settings and can't find anything pertaining to it.

Can anyone help me with this?

Yea I cant seem to figure it out.

It might be SMS Popup.

Let me try to uninstall and see if that fixes it.

are you TB'ing apps back w/ data? or does this actually happen on a clean flash?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_ncfc:
I love trying out all the new ICS and JB ROMs on my x10 (which isn't my primary phone) but because of the low frame rate it seems very laggy (probably seems laggier than it actually is)

On the GB ROMs the frame limit was unlocked to 60fps and everything seemed so much more responsive and fluid, is there any way to do this on any of the CM9/CM10 ROMs?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Are we talking FPS in gaming or are we talking about FPS in videos..or are we talking about both?

Or are we talking screen display and scrolling reaction time?

Videos.

FPS2D returns 54FPS on stock GB 2.3.3

FPS2D returns 43FPS on JB 4.1.2 CM10

My understanding is that anything that is not using a standard GB 2.3.3 ROM will not be able to use GPU 2D Hardware Acceleration.

2D HW Acceleration for the XPERIA X10i is not included in any CyanogenMod Build and I don't know off any other ICS of JB build that has HW acceleration enabled for the XPERIA X10i.

This means outside of the stock GB 2.3.3 ROM playing a .mkv 720p (H264,AC3) video would be worse in JB and ICS than on stock GB 2.3.3

A JB and ICS build uses the CPU to provide the video encoding only and does not solicit the GPU to offload processing to speed up performance/viewing/smoothness/lag.

Gaming

Now this one is less clear(to me).

If I use the Game demo of Epic Citadel as a Benchmark we see the following:

Stock GB 2.3.3 - Epic Citadel: 11.2FPS on performance

CM10 JB 4.1.2 - Epic Citadel: 11FPS on performance

So there is nothing in it.

Some gaming engines can make use of Adreno 200 GPU hardware features like hardware floating point and etc, but it's not clear if they do or not.

I can play Modern Combat 4 on my GB 2.3.3 (DoomKernel v6) XPERIA X10i. For me there is noticeable lag at points, but still very playable if you're not planning to upgrade to a new phone (XPERIA V) any time soon.

I have not attempted to play MC4 on JB or ICS XPERIA X10i ROM.

Note - MC4 plays a little bit better on an XPERIA LT26i with Overclocked CPU and Overclocked GPU though. ;)

Summary

My understanding is that there is no GPU HW features available on any XPERIA X10i ROM for the Adreno 200 GPU outside of the Stock GB 2.3.3 ROM.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
I'm still waiting for the ota here in Wisconsin. Once I get the notification for it, wouldn't it be easiest to relock my phone and then just take the ota? ZvB is capable of being rooted by users that accidentally took the ota right? I'm rooted unlocked and running imperium now. The other question is maybe I'd be best to wait for a jb ROM? Would that b as simple as flashing the zip in twrp? No returning to stock or rerooting/unlocking? Thanks alot
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
You are probably correct that waiting will be easier. We still don't have a way to unlock it either. You can take the OTA. In the end you will get the same result.

The problem with waiting is.....it takes to long. You don't to control when it happens. You might be at work. You could be in the movie theatre. You could be on a date or worse. What will you do in those moments if the update comes?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
So to take the ota, just relock and then download it and let it do its thing?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Yes, you can just flash it. But you must be on a stock. And I mean stock. Not a stock rom. You must be on original stock. The only changes that can be made are root and recovery. But, if you are stock and have twrp, then yes. You can just flash it. When you hit reboot it will ask if you want to keep root.

The guide I posted was for everyone. Everyone includes people who aren't on stock still.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalangees:
Hello!

I'm attempting to modify DSPManager in CyanogenMod to add monophonic audio output for users that are partially deaf and need system-wide mono audio. I've made some basic changes so far just to add the option, and got everything building. I've already been running my own builds for a while, and making changes to stuff outside of packages/apps seems to always go fine.

When I just rebuild the DSPManager module using "make DSPManager" the build succeeds and I was able to get the .apk on my phone. However, attempting to install the .apk results in an error installing. I believe this is due to the fact that it is a system app, but I'm just guessing. With that I did a full build to hopefully pull in my changes. Flashing my new build didn't have any errors, but now DSPManager isn't even showing up in the app drawer.

There must be something I'm missing, right? I've clobbered and am rebuilding from scratch now, but I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not. Any tips or suggestions? Is this a signing issue?

Thanks for any help!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubreed000:
It's GSam Battery Monitor, my phone drains from 100% to 95% in like 15 minutes. I found that one of the culprits was a Pansi SMS theme, and the other (the biggest one) was "Media", which drained 35% of the battery. The phone was kept awake for 7 minutes, and under included processes it says *wakelock* android.process.media.

Is there a way to stop this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
You can force stop media but that's temporally. You'll need to find which file is causing it (most likely one unreadable by your media player).

Could also be coming from your external sd card (if you have one).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Sadly sometimes the only solution is a full super wipe... did the trick for me (I needed to anyway)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubreed000:
Hmm...i do have an external sd card. But it's used for music video and downloads. There's no apps installed on it.

What do you mean by a super wipe? Is that different from a regular wipe? If not then I just did a cache/dalvik wipe a week ago.

How would I go about finding the file that's responsible for this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Super wipe basically wipes everything of our internal card in other words going to TWRP and erasing data. Its basically just searching and searching on how to open the media so that's why its high.

Another option is to move all your pictures and videos and other downloads to your ext SD card. Then wipe data on the internal card and see if once you boot backup again and an hour or so of running if it isn't so high.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzerman:
Hi, I posted the same thread at the nexus' page.. Now I would like to know your experiences with s3 mini, if it's better with galaxy nexus. I'm buying either one of the two in a few days so I really need to know..

Here are the stuff that I do with my phone:

- Games (if it can handle HD games, then that would be good.. But I mostly play casual games)

- Internet

- Take pictures (facebook, instagram, and print sometimes)

- Call & Text

What I like about S3 mini:

- Gorilla glass (since I have a tendency to break the lcd, I'm really considering this)

- MicroSD slot (I have a class 10 16gb microsdhc card lying around from my previous phone)

So, could you guys share your experiences with your S3 mini? A comparison of the two phones would really help me a lot. I've read in some reviews that s3 mini is kinda slow and tend to lag sometime. Also, how is the development going?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dariolob:
Actually the Gorilla Glass thing is not that clear... we think that our S3 mini doesn't have it. Still a good scratchproof glass,but maybe not gorilla.

However:

-MicroSD slot it's a great feature, I put a 16GB class 10 microSD and it works like a charme, with very nice read/write speed rates

-Of course it can handle HD games! I've tried Shadowgun, NFS Most Wanted, NFS Shift, Asphalt 7 and so on :)

-Good and smooth browsing experience with stock browser, at least in my personal opinion

About the lags: I've not had a lag for 2 weeks (I got this device few days ago); the only noticeable "lag" happens when in the app drawer you switch from the Apps tab to the Widgets one, but that's because the launcher needs to rebuild the cache :)

So definetely a good phone,smooth and perfect for everyday use. Also its size! I'm not a lover of gigantic phones and this one is a very good compromise (always IMO).

And as far as development is concerned: it started and it's growing step by step. Give us some time and you'll have many good ROMs :highfive:
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nik511:

So far I am very content with my S3 mini, which I'm using for about a month now. It's fast, no lags for me. The display is very responsive.
