I just upgraded from my evo and bought the Note2.I love the phone. However they took my sd card out of my evo and used it in note 2. I kinda annoyed by this being evo sd card is only 16gb which is plenty. But I feel after spending 300 bucks for a phone with an upgrade I should of received a new sd card. Any reasons why I did not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] d12unk13astard:
Some companies provide them some don't its that simple. Besides that you can pick up a 16/32/64gb microsd sdhc/sdxc on amazon anywhere from $15-50.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
Ever since phones started including 16+ gb of internal storage they haven't been including cards. I'd rather have more internal storage and buy my own card than get a cheap 8gb sd card and not get any more internal storage. The evo lte didn't include a micro sd either. You're paying $300 cuz of the wacom digitizer internal storage quad core exynos and big screen. I'd rather have that than feel all warm and fuzzy cuz they included an sd card I can buy for $12.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You didn't get a new sd csrd because the note 2 doesn't come with one. Its as simple as that. If you read the whats in the box tag on the packaging you would know this. All that's included is: device, battery cover, 3100mah battery, SPen, headphones and different sized earbuds, usb> micro usb cable and 5v 2a wall wart.

I like to break stuff! :D

Hi Xda users,

I was having old cm9 flashed about 4 months ago on my phone (r800i), and today I wanted to install new CM release and new kernel. I simply flash new CM9 kernel using flashtool fastboot mode like always, flashtool flashing was complete successfully, and after that I cant turn on my phone. No led , no fastboot mode, no flashmode, just 1 vibrate after pressing power button.

What can I do next ? any steps to do next please :)(

OK NVM after battery remove I was able to enter flash mode ana reflash phone

[Nook Color General] purpleurkle:
Hello everyone, I bought a new B&N charger today, and when I plug it in the light turns green but never to orange to began charging. If I power it off it will charge, and when it goes to sleep. If I try to wake it up or turn it on, its back to green with no charge. I'm guessing I got a bad charger, just hoping there's nothing wrong with the nook. (Warranty ran up 2 days ago)lol. If anyone has ran into this before or has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
Sometimes mine won't charge until I reboot with the charger plugged in.

Don't know why, and it's pretty rare.
[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
Hey all,

Just wanted to get a quick opinion from everyone here about the Sony Xperia Z screen.

There has obviously been a large discussion on the internet about the different quality Xperia screens and today I managed to identify first hand what an arguably good Z screen locks like in comparison to a bad one ,at least for my tastes. One device has a horrid reflection effect in a dark environment which left me wanting while another unit has better contrast all round with higher saturation.

What is everyone's experience and likes dislikes with the Xperia Z screen? I remember the apple screens when you use to go to the apple store and notice your screen has a yellowish tint in comparison to the same model on display which ticked me right of.

I want to close this display discussion once and for all so we know what the deal is. Are there really bad screens and good screens and what are the differences? I think there are and I stated my opinion above.
[Xperia Z General] SalamiQueen:
I don't know if it's just me, or the phone isn't set up properly but the screen is perfect - however when I am watching videos on youtube or anything, the colours seem so dark? It's not the viewing angle, it's just the colours seem so deep & black. Anyone experience this too?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
Maybe bravia engine is switched on
[Xperia Z General] SalamiQueen:
:eek: Oh wow, you're right! Thanks for that! Can't believe something that is meant to improve quality made things worse lol
[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
Hi there.

I think I know what you mean I noticed this as well. Check this video on YouTube with and without bravura engine and take auto brightness of and put it to 50%.

youtube.com/watch?v=KsYTJDM6ups&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Dots it still seem dark?
[Xperia Z General] omersak:
Thanks for this.
[Xperia Z General] SalamiQueen:
Thank you for the tip. So is it best to set the display to 50% with the auto brightness & the bravia engine turned OFF? It does seem better with the engine turned off overall it seems
[Xperia Z General] sadlove:
Some says the Japanese version is JDi

Screen and it better than ours
[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
I just mentioned that you should switch brightness to 50% so you can level the comparison field without your phone actually changing the brightness and changing results. Bravia engine should probably stay off if you don't like it, personal preference really. as for the auto brightness I recommend keeping it on, it is the first ever device that I have left this feature on since it does such a good job with it! will probably save some battery as well most times.

So does this mean the video looked alright?
[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
So is this phone (with better screen) only sold in Japan? That would be quite shocking.

And who are you refering to when you say that some say? link Maybe...
[Xperia Z General] SalamiQueen:
Well I do like the auto feature too so left that on with 50% brightness :)

The bravia engine, tbh I can't see any difference with photos, only with videos things seem so dark that you can't watch anything properly. So I guess I'll only turn it off when I am watching videos. They should have an option to let you have it on for photos & off for videos :P

But yes switching bravia off worked the videos perfectly thank you
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
There are some people that willing fail to understand that the Japanese version has a different skin since it's customized by do como. It uses black menus and black buttons. So based on that they say that the Japanese model has a better screen because it displays black
[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
I actually wish they would have made the menu black it would have looked much sleeker.
[Xperia Z General] jigarpatel22:
Check below video from 1:15 where it sets same wall paper on both hand set.

[Xperia Z General] Al Gore:
And better viewing angles because of docomo skin? :laugh:
[Xperia Z General] Trollololol:
can the display be fixed with a software update?
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Later in this video... How can docomo version has better viewing angles...
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
It doesn't
[Xperia Z General] mikbe:
Let me hear your explanation. Anti-shatter shield makes it worse or what?
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
It's because of the viewing angles, if you look at the beginning the European version actually looks more vibrant. The thing is that a slight tilt already makes a small difference the phones are recorded from different angles relative to the camera. Since you don't see any difference when viewing the screen head on and the difference in view angles are really minor I think it is just the positioning of the phones relative to the camera. Also because in the first part the European looks slightly better. If you look at the screen bottom up it tens to be slightly more blue with gives it slightly more vibrancy if you look top down it gives a bit more yellow causing white to be slightly yellow and thus has a tiny effect on contrast
[Xperia Z General] itsmemuffins:
Some videos showing the screen.

This one is in Russian comparing the Japanies Z to the rest of the world Z. You don't need to understand Russian to see how they compare.

These compare the screen to other leading phones.

[Xperia Z General] stiffler191:
Hi There.

This is exactly why I started this thread, because I personally believe that there are various screen quality like with the iphones/ipads.

I say this because I have had 2 phones which are identical except for the screen which is much more saturated on one than the other with an almost redish tint at times which I think has really good contrast. for example when all lights are off and I look at the screen the phone with lesser quality (lets call it phone 1) has a reflective feel to the grays in the settings menu and in the app drawer while the better phone (phone 2) has an almost indistinguishable reflection compared to phone 1 and the contrast is very high as well with no light, especially on the black background everyone is flaunting around.

One of the problem with all these videos is that they are made in a very bright environment with the brightness cranked up all the way which is not your typical scenario as a day to day user so the results can be obscured any further. What I want to know is what have people who have in fact been able to compare two phones at typical usage settings have found. This Domoco Phone that everyone refers to also has completely different ROM by the look of it and I can attest that one of the major issues with Sony's design is their choice of grays, you would have thought that someone told them that gray does not help with contrast and therefore with super users which most people who will buy this phone will be. I WANT MY CONTRAST :)
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I was initially against the gray menu's but after a couple of days uses it is growing on me, this is because lots of apps aren't actually black, like Spotify, Tabtu, pocket cast, Dolphin browser, whats'app etc most of those apps actually uses lighter gray than the menu bar. The only app that uses black that I use frequently is kaiten mail and the black against the gray looks kinda ugly. So in retro spec I think it looks better with most applications I use than it would with black.

hi, as i can't post this anywhere else (newbie), i'm posting this thread here to save some trouble to everyone trying out latest kernel on the latest minicm10.

the wifi will not work as it is now with this jellybean kernell (2.6.32.60 -nAa-jb-04) on xperiax8

you have to flash kernell 2.6.29.6 -nAa-jb-03 for working rom with no bugs. the latest at this moment isn't advisable (faster rom with the latest kernell but no wifi)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nett3:
I haven't followed rom developments in a few months now. Can anyone tell me if I would gain any new features (photo sphere?) or significant speed improvements if I flashed a 4.2.2 rom over AOKP 4.1.2 w/ Siyah kernel. One thing I would not want to lose is BLN with the kernel, since I've read Siyah doesn't always work with 4.2.2 roms and not all kernels offer BLN. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:

[Galaxy S III General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
1. check if you have HD Voice enabled with this code *#197328640#

click on Option [8] WB-AMR Status

2. Make nandroid backup (I've removed my Micro SDCard after because did not wanna risk wiping my card, I know it's very unlikely, but one could never be too careful )

3. Download T-mobile official firmware ; you will have to download an official firmware, because the carriers enable HD Voice on them, whereas on unbranded firmwares hd voice seems to be disabled.

4. Flash the firmware with Mobile ODIN- Copy your the firmware to your internal SD, then when you select the firmware to flash, tick option for EverRoot and Wipe data and cache

****I've used Mobile Odin, you could use Odin for computers, but you have to WIPE the device, otherwise it will not work****

5. check if the WB-AMR is ON now

6. Install ROM Manager from PlayStore, open it and install Clockworkmod Recovery

7. Reboot to recovery, restore you backup and you should be ready to enjoy HD voice calls if the person on the other side has it ON too.

WB-AMR STATUS should be:

WB-AMR SETTINGS: ON

GSM WB: OFF (this might be ON only one I know that has hd voice enabled on GSM is the Bulgarian network Mtel)

UMTS WB: ON (this became ON when I restored my nandroid backup,weird)

I've got Wanamlite 5.6 JB 4.1.2

hear the difference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwVPkt6vwEw
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Is this not just because the CSC got flashed with the official rom? Like all the other enable HD Voice threads??

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I don't know to be honest, yeah on the other threads they say it's because of CSC, but some people say it doesn't work. so not sure

by doing it my way with your carrier official firmware there is no reason why it shouldn't work on any rom and IMO this is the easiest way

make backup - flash official firmware - restore backup - enjoy hd voice.

i hope they all will adopt hd voice so we don't have to worry about flashing stuff :)
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Hi dudes,

did my first bootanimation for HTC ONE SV, so don't be to hard to me ;)

Please note:

I have tested it and it worked.

Your device must be rooted to use this.

Use it on your own risk and only if you know what you do!

If you wanna have a look:

Download it from attachment and replace the original one (but please make a backup before) with a root explorer in the folder /system/customize/resource/.

Set the permission to rw-r--r--

I wanna thank to scar45 that he gave me permission to use his files/bootanimation for DHD as base!​
[HTC One SV] nodegamra:
This is great!

Thanks for the animation I do like it a lot. I will put it in my phone as soon as I get a chance.

Will report back if it works.:good:

It does work and it is flashable via CWM (not directly but easily) !
[HTC One SV] SnakeFist2005:
I'm S-off, SuperCID, Bootloader Unlocked and Rooted. Running JB

I got the Cricket version of the One SV and I'm trying to get a boot animation working that I made. After I got together the images I wanted I figured I would follow the same folder tree and named them the same as what was in the original boot animation. I also made a sound to replace the original one. I used winrar on normal compression and copied it over to my sd card. I backed up my original and copied and overwritten the original one. I also did the same with the sound. Renaming both after the ones they are replacing. After replacing both files I restarted my phone. The sound I replaced played during the original shutdown animation so I took that as a good sign. But when the phone restarted it was just a black screen the sound didn't even play. Does anyone know how i can fix this. Thanks In advance.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Try with 7zip instead of winrar, don't change settings.
[HTC One SV] SnakeFist2005:
So leave it as a .7z file?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
No, must be the same filename as stock. I mean compression in settings when packing.

Here how it looks like in german:
[HTC One SV] SnakeFist2005:
Ok tried it like you showed me and it didn't work. So i tried an app on my phone called Zarchiver and it had a option to zip with no compression and it worked great. Thanks for the help if you ever need a tester for cricket for this phone i'll be more then happy to test it for you. I do know that your deodexed framework and apps somewhat work on the lte just the programs crash and no cell service wifi works just can not make calls.Oh and preparing sim card also kept coming up.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
The bootanimation thing is a little bit tricky. It took me also many tries to get it sorted out, but 7zip did the trick for me.

As for cricket: if somebody will upload a system dump or a cwm backup (only system) i will see what i can do.
[HTC One SV] SnakeFist2005:
I can do that for you let me switch to CWM since i got TWRP installed now i wanted to make a CWM backuo also so to have both. I'll have that dump for you in about an hr ill reflash my JB stock rom that i made before deleting some system apps.

[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I used Photoshop Elements, but every photosoftware should do it.

You need the font installed on your pc, choose it in the photosoftware (must look at my pc, how its the name). Now draw out with black color (only) the parts you want to overwrite. Now go to writing. Pick up the color of the font and choose the right size. Write the text, you wanna write and some of the text at the left or the right. Then move the text in the position. Use the text at the left or the right to get it in its position.

Do this with every picture.

It means they found 1.7Ghz a good compromise to keep heat down and improve battery life.
